Chapter 356
At this moment, Bai Shuang was leading Xia Ruoan in a conversation in the spacious and bright living room, while Qiao Yu and Leng Zexi were busy preparing delicious food in the fragrant kitchen.
Of course, Qiao Yu was just helping out, the real chef was Leng Zexi, who had superb cooking skills.
Bai Shuang saw Xia Ruo'an staring intently at the exquisite invitation on the coffee table and said softly, "Are you surprised?"
Xia Ruoan nodded slightly and responded, "It's really surprising. I always thought that Zhao Han would definitely find a way to win back Shang Gonglan."
"I never thought that after all the twists and turns between him and Qiao Xin, they would be together again."
"After so many twists and turns, they finally got together. I don't know whether they will be happy or unfortunate in the future." Xia Ruoan said worriedly.
Bai Shuang couldn't help but sighed softly, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and he slowly said: "In fact, things may not be as simple as they seem on the surface."
"In my opinion, Zhao Han is not willing to be with Qiao Xin at all. Now he probably hates Qiao Xin to the core and wishes to kill her immediately."
Xia Ruoan frowned and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Bai Shuang went on to explain: "It's all because of Qiao Xin. She even risked her own innocence to cling to Zhao Han and insisted that he take responsibility for her."
"This not only destroyed Zhao Han's last hope of winning back Shang Gong Lan, but also directly destroyed any possibility of Zhao Han winning Shang Gong Lan's heart again."
"After all, in the eyes of a proud woman like Shangguan Lan, there is absolutely no room for even a grain of sand."
"So after this incident, it can be said that Zhao Han has completely lost Shang Gonglan forever."
At this point, Bai Shuang paused, as if recalling some heart-wrenching scene, and continued, "And I heard that later Zhao Han even ran to the door of the Liang family and knelt down for a long time, begging Shang Gonglan to forgive the mistakes he made."
"It's a pity that no matter how sincerely he repented, Shang Gong Lan never showed up even once."
"In the end, the Zhao family couldn't stand it anymore and forcibly took the unconscious Zhao Han back home. Alas... things are really unpredictable!"
It is said that after Zhao Han woke up from his coma that day, he seemed to have changed completely. He unexpectedly agreed to marry Qiao Xin.
This is really unexpected.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Han found a lawyer without hesitation and transferred all his money, real estate, etc. to Chang'an.
After doing these things, he rushed to the hospital without stopping and finally returned to the college.
Surprisingly, he looked as if nothing had happened and remained calm and composed.
However, as the wedding date approached, Zhao Han remained indifferent to the marriage and never said a word of concern.
The Zhao family also felt ashamed about this and had no intention of holding a grand wedding with much fanfare.
But Qiao Xin insisted on holding a grand wedding. In desperation, the Zhao family had to give them some money and leave the other details to them.
In fact, almost all the tedious matters of wedding preparation were handled by Qiao Xin alone.
Even for such an important step as trying on wedding dresses, Zhao Han never showed up once.
Bai Shuang looked at Xia Ruoan with a worried look on her face, and said with emotion: "Ruoan, I really can't figure out what Qiao Xin is trying to do?"
"She clearly knows in her heart that marrying Zhao Han might end up with nothing in the future, but why does she still go on like this without hesitation?"
"We kindly advised her not to get married, not to marry Zhao Han, but she ended up blaming us instead, saying that we couldn't bear to see her live a happy life..."
"Qiao Yu was worried all day because of her problems, and he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep at night."
"I saw him hiding in the balcony smoking a few times." Bai Shuang felt a sense of strangeness in her heart. Qiao Xin now seemed so distant to her.
"My parents-in-law have already softened their hearts. They plan to go with Qiao Xin. I don't want to get involved in this matter anymore, so let them go."
As Bai Shuang spoke, he sighed deeply in helplessness.
"Come to think of it, I finally understand. Qiao Xin is the type of person who won't turn back until she hits a wall."
"Even though she has hit her head against the wall, she still refuses to give up and is determined to do her best to break down the wall!" Bai Shuang was filled with emotion, and her words revealed her worry and confusion about Qiao Xin.
At this time, Xia Ruoan picked up the invitation on the table and looked at it carefully: "Judging from the handwriting on this invitation, it should be written by Qiao Xin."
Hearing this, Bai Shuang nodded and replied: "Yes, she did all this."
"When I think back to when we got married, the invitations were carefully prepared by the men, and the words on them had to be handwritten by our respective husbands to make them meaningful."
"It's nothing like now..."
Having said this, Bai Shuang felt more and more indignant. If Qiao Xin was her own sister, she would have probably been unable to resist giving her a good lesson.
Bai Shuang really couldn't understand how Qiao Xin could go so far for someone who didn't care about her at all. Not only was she willing to stick to the other person, but she even gradually lost herself.
Is it really worth doing this?
Perhaps only Qiao Xin herself knows whether it is worth it, or what she wants.
"Ruo'an, I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me for saying this, but back then, I really admired Qiao Xin!"
"At that time, I always regarded her as my role model and learned from her in every aspect. But who could have thought that things would develop to this point today? Looking back now, it really makes me feel extremely absurd!"
Bai Shuang frowned slightly, his face full of disbelief.
"You know, Qiao Xin originally had a bright and brilliant future, and a beautiful and hopeful future was waiting for her."
"She has such outstanding qualities that it wouldn't be difficult for her to find someone who is much better than Zhao Han."
"But look at the current situation. She was actually persuaded to quit by the research team. All her previous efforts and hard work have gone to waste!"
Having said that, Bai Shuang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, with deep regret revealed in his eyes.
Then, she turned her gaze to Xia Ruo'an and continued in a heavy tone, "You may not know, but now when the teachers in our college mention Qiao Xin, they all have expressions of regret that they can't hide."
Hearing this, Xia Ruoan nodded slightly, indicating that he had actually heard something about it.
After all, in this college, all kinds of rumors about Zhao Han and Qiao Xin have been flying around for a long time.
Especially since Zhao Han’s current status and position are extraordinary, anything related to him will be particularly eye-catching.
At this moment, Xia Ruo'an seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Bai Shuang and said, "I heard from the teacher that Zhao Han had the opportunity to be recommended as an academician, but it was stopped in the end?"
Bai Shuang was also shocked when he heard this.
"how so?"
Qiao Yu walked out of the kitchen carrying the delicious dishes she had just prepared, when she heard this sudden news.
He was stunned for a moment, and the plate in his hand seemed to lose its support and fell to the ground with a "bang", and the food inside was scattered all over the floor.
Qiao Yu raised his head and looked at Xia Ruoan who was sitting at the dining table with astonishment. He asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Ruoan, what you said... is it true?"
Xia Ruoan nodded gently, with a solemn look on his face.
At this point, this matter can no longer be concealed, because in two days, the final result will be officially announced to the public.
"That's true. The teacher has already told me the situation in advance."
"The list of academician candidates will be announced in two days, and Zhao Han's name is not on it at all."
"You know, becoming an academician is not just about one's academic performance and personal ability, it also involves the crucial factor of character."
Xia Ruoan explained slowly, her gaze remaining steadfast.
"Moreover, Zhao Han's affair with Qiao Xin has become well-known to everyone. If he is successfully selected as an academician this time, it will inevitably cause widespread doubts and controversy from all walks of life."
Xia Ruoan said this while shaking his head slightly.
At this time, Qiao Yu silently squatted down and began to pick up the spilled fried meat scattered on the ground.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer.
"Qiao Xin keeps saying how much she loves Zhao Han, but in reality, everything she does is clearly intended to completely destroy Zhao Han."
Qiao Yu sighed helplessly while cleaning up the mess.
"Sorry, my hand slipped and knocked over the food." Qiao Yu looked up at them with an apologetic tone.
Xia Ruoan shook her head gently, "It's okay, Sui Sui is safe."
"It's true that everything is fine. Fortunately, the vegetables you knocked over were not the ones that Ruoan gave me, otherwise I would really scold you." Bai Shuang joked.
After hearing this, Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly.
"Ruoan, can you please not tell Qiao Xin about the fact that Zhao Han cannot become an academician?" Qiao Yu thought of Qiao Xin's current condition and couldn't bear to add any more burden to her.
"I won't tell you, but I'm afraid this can't be kept secret for long." Xia Ruoan reminded him to be mentally prepared.
"I understand. We'll delay it as long as possible." Qiao Yu nodded in response.
