"Why are you suddenly so serious?" Le Yao put the finished cake into the oven, set the time, and then glanced at her phone screen. "Is there something that happened that you don't know about?"
"It's not serious, it's just a feeling of emotion." Hongxia suppressed the soreness in her nose and smiled. "If you hadn't accepted me and let me into your circle, I might be like this now..." Even if she did well in her studies, her future path wouldn't have been so easy, but now, she felt like she had won without even trying.
"Hehe." Qiao Qiao laughed.
"Mr. Qiao, what are you laughing at? I'm not a pretentious person, but what I'm saying now is true, I..."
“You were accepted by us because Alan accepted you.” Qiaoqiao put down her work and stared intently at the screen. “And Alan accepted you because of your enthusiasm and honesty. Of course, more importantly, you are a top student.”
"President Qiao, come on, don't think I don't know. Actually, you deliberately kept your grades just below the passing mark. If you wanted to, you would be better than me." Hong Xia pouted.
“Yes, I admit it.” Qiao Qiao nodded.
Qian Meiqi and the others exclaimed in surprise, saying that Qiao Qiao was being unfair.
"I'm afraid of trouble, and even if I know those things, I really don't know how to teach others." Qiao Qiao sighed. "I'm destined to work for the company, and I don't need to go out to apply for jobs, so what's the point of me getting such good grades?" That's why she always calculates her scores when answering exam questions.
“Qiao is right,” Le Yao nodded. “And what I particularly admire about you is that you never feel inferior because of your own shortcomings. You always face all kinds of stares with composure, which is something many people can’t do. That’s why we’re willing to be friends with someone as outstanding as you…”
“Yes,” Qian Meiqi nodded. “In that case, I should thank Sister Lan. If it weren’t for her, I would still be that big sister who led Qiao’er and Wang Xia astray. Now, my dad and uncle have to step in and spend money to get me my diploma…”
Song Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement: "We have nothing but money. It was only after becoming friends with you, a top student, that we turned over a new leaf..."
“Yes.” Wang Xia took a bite of her apple. “So, the power of role models is boundless…”
"Okay, I'll never be sentimental again." Hongxia sniffed. "Let's stop flattering each other like this. After all, we're going to be best friends for life."
“Who’s your sister? We’re relatives.” Qian Meiqi glared. “An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. My future is in your hands.”
"You shameless person..." Wang Xia pouted.
"That's right, that's right." The others echoed.
"Can you eat your face? If you're so capable, why don't you get a sister-in-law too?" Qian Meiqi rolled her eyes.
"Don't tell me, I do have a sister-in-law, and she's pretty good too." Le Yao chuckled.
Wang Xia and Song Qiaoqiao neither have older brothers, so they can't have sisters-in-law. Qiaoqiao does have a sister-in-law, but... that older brother of hers is a complicated story. So, they all started to criticize Qian Meiqi.
Just then, Le Yao's phone rang: "Sisters, I have to talk to you now, I'm taking this call from my husband."
"Let's call it a day then, we'll talk again later, I have to go to a meeting." Qiao Qiao glanced at her watch, "Bye-bye." Then she hung up the video call.
