Chapter 626 Is it you, Cedric?
Things took an unexpected turn. Qiao Xing was completely unaware of all this. She was worried about Lin Xi going to school, fearing that she would still be bullied, so she went to the school to see Lin Xi the next day.
She stood outside peeking but didn't go in. Lin Xi was very attentive in class, and she waited until Lin Xi finished class.
Lin Xi didn't talk to those people, and the others ignored her as well.
Last time she stabbed Feng Jiao with a knife, in everyone's eyes she was a ruthless person, no one dared to provoke her, and of course, no one would take the initiative to talk to her.
Qiao Xing watched as her classmates isolated her in another way, and couldn't help but sigh, wondering if she should change schools.
She waited until Lin Xi finished school and watched her come out of the classroom before Qiao Xing went over and called out to her, "Xi Xi."
Lin Xi suddenly looked up and saw Qiao Xing arrive. A joyful smile appeared on her face. "Sister!"
She jogged over to Qiao Xing's side, looked left and right, but didn't see Wang Qin.
Qiao Xing said, "I've already called your mother. I'll pick you up today."
Lin Xi nodded, not disappointed by Wang Qin's absence. On the contrary, she was much happier to see Qiao Xing than Wang Qin.
Qiao Xing took her hand and walked towards the school gate. "How was school today?"
Lin Xi said, "Very good."
"Those classmates aren't bullying you anymore, are they?"
"No." Lin Xi shook her head, straightening her back. Feng Jiao didn't come today, so Qiao Xing didn't know if this was just a temporary calm.
She then asked Lin Xi, "I noticed that no one in your class talks to you. Don't you feel lonely? Maybe they're scared of you, so they're just afraid to talk to you. Otherwise, I'll transfer you to another school."
Lin Xi shook her head repeatedly, "No, I don't need friends."
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't know what to say. When a person says that she doesn't need friends, it means that she is starting to become withdrawn.
Why don't you need friends?
"I don't need it."
Qiao Xing opened her mouth, her mind going blank for a moment.
In the end, she could only sigh, pull Lin Xi into the car, and drive her to Shengli Residential Area.
No one was home; He Fen and Wang Yue hadn't come home from get off work yet, so only Lin Xi was there. Qiao Xing had nothing else to do, so he stayed home with her for a while, watching her do her homework.
"Don't you have evening self-study sessions now?"
Lin Xi said, "It's on, but not this month."
Qiao Xing guessed it too; it was still because of this incident that he was worried about the students' safety late at night during evening self-study.
"That's good, I can go home and rest earlier. How's your studies going?"
Lin Xi was silent for a while. She wasn't doing very well in her studies. She was already far behind others in her coursework, so she was essentially starting from scratch, which naturally slowed down her learning progress.
She thought for a moment and said, "I will try my best."
Qiao Xing already knew the answer. She nodded slightly, "It's okay, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you have any hobbies or interests, you can tell me."
If she's not good at studying, but has any special talents, we can cultivate them.
After all, studying isn't the only way out. She can do other things, provided she has other talents in those areas; otherwise, studying will remain her only option.
Qiao Xing patted her head, and took the opportunity to tutor her with her homework.
Lin Xi wanted to say something, but after opening her mouth, she swallowed her words and focused on doing her homework.
As it was getting dark, Qin Ce called her, and Qiao Xingcai had no choice but to leave Shengli Community and go back with Xing Jiu.
Qin Ce was sitting in the car; he naturally knew about Feng Jiao's situation.
After thinking about it, he drove directly to the hospital.
He saw Feng Nian and Zhao Ru at the entrance of the ICU. Zhao Ru was covering her face and crying in a chair, while Feng Nian was standing there with a worried expression. The couple had different expressions and neither of them spoke.
Qin Ce walked up to them and said, "Hello."
Upon hearing the voice, the two of them turned to look at him simultaneously, a hint of confusion flashing in their eyes.
Feng Nian sized him up and noticed his extraordinary demeanor. He hesitated before asking, "Who are you?"
Qin Ce took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to him, introducing himself, "My name is Qin Ce, and I am Qiao Xing's husband."
Feng Nian took the silver business card. The card was made of a special material, not ordinary paper. It had the word "cedric" written on it, along with a phone number. Although it didn't mention his identity, the logo in the upper right corner was the S&C logo.
Feng Nian, who frequented the financial industry, had heard of these celebrities and bosses, and he also knew their English names.
He looked up in shock at Qin Ce, his face changing drastically. "Cedric is you?"
Qin Ce nodded slightly. "It's me. Can we talk?"
Zhao Ru still looked at him blankly. She obviously had never heard of this name before, but seeing her husband treat him like he had seen a ghost, his identity must be extraordinary.
Feng Nian nodded with a complicated expression.
There wasn't much left to talk about. When Qin Ce took out the business card, they ran out of things to say.
Does he still have the ability to cause trouble for Qin Ce or something?
If he really had the guts, let alone Feng Jiao who is currently lying in the ICU, if he really angered her, her whole family would suffer.
The three of them went downstairs to a place where there were fewer people.
Qin Ce spoke first, asking, "How is your daughter?"
Zhao Ru's eyes reddened again when her daughter was mentioned. Feng Nian, afraid that she would say something inappropriate, said first, "The doctor said that she was seriously injured and barely survived. It's hard to say whether she will wake up or not. So Mr. Qin, you don't need to worry that she will go back to school to cause trouble for your sister."
When Feng Nian said his last words, he even felt a sense of relief. Although a father shouldn't think this way, it seemed to him that this was the best outcome he could have given up.
He could support his daughter for the rest of his life, but he absolutely could not lose his job and implicate the rest of his family.
He didn't know if this counted as selfishness, but he kept convincing himself that if Feng Jiao hadn't been so disobedient, wouldn't have listened to advice, and wouldn't have thought about them, this wouldn't have happened.
Qin Ce said, "I'm so sorry, I'll cover your daughter's hospital expenses, but I hope this matter can end here, okay?"
He simply didn't want either of them to go looking for Qiao Xing again.
Feng Nian listened to his emotionless apology and couldn't say anything.
He finally understood how Qiao Xing had found out about his past. It turned out he had such a powerful backer. He was no match for her.
