"Then let's go back quickly," Qiao Xi immediately agreed.
Su Qingyao nodded, but Qiao Xi still asked her, "Um... before we go back, could you please keep this a secret for me for now?"
"You must give me an explanation later." Su Qingyao's tone left no room for argument.
Qiao Xi replied in agreement, "Understood."
After returning, it was time for another round of delivering snacks. Except for Qiao Xi and Su Qingyao, everyone else was eager to deliver them.
Following the order, those whose turn it was this time couldn't contain their excitement and headed straight for Qi Jincheng.
Just then, Qiao Xi noticed Su Qingyao's strange gaze. "Class monitor, why are you looking at me like that?"
After learning her identity, Su Qingyao didn't fawn over her. Instead, she said to her in a serious tone, "Seeing them all throwing themselves at your husband, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Qiao Xi shrugged helplessly and said, "How can I manage it? Wherever he is, there's no girl who doesn't have feelings for him."
“Even in places where he isn’t around, there are countless people who have designs on him.”
Qiao Xi had accepted this fact. Although she felt a little uneasy, her Ah Jin was so outstanding that she could accept it as long as it was within her tolerance.
Su Qingyao thought what she said made sense, "That's true."
Taking advantage of this moment of free time, Su Qingyao quickly pressed, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened? How did you become the heir of the Jinghua family?"
She had just asked the question when she realized it was inappropriate. "What I mean is..."
Qiao Xi understood what she meant and told her without hesitation, "The chairman of Jinghua Family is my maternal grandfather."
"Chairman Bai Zhanwang, is he your maternal grandfather?" Su Qingyao looked at her with shock and surprise.
Qiao Xi nodded affirmatively, "Yes."
Not many people knew about the relationship between Qiao Xi and Bai Zhanwang, and Su Qingyao was even more skeptical. She instinctively said, "He doesn't have a son or..."
Qiao Xi nodded and said, "Yes, I have two uncles and two older brothers, but they all have their own careers and are not interested in the Jinghua family business, so I have to inherit it."
"You're kidding me, right?" Su Qingyao felt this was a bit too outrageous.
Qiao Xi shrugged dismissively and said, "What's there to joke about?"
Su Qingyao said with a serious expression, "The Jinghua family, in my understanding, shouldn't they fight to the death for the identity of the heir?"
That's right, what she said makes a lot of sense, but such a thing just never happened in the Bai family.
Qiao Xi said with a touch of pride, "That's probably how it is in a normal wealthy family, but our family is a little special."
Su Qingyao still found it somewhat unbelievable, "If it's really like what you said, then that's practically Buddhist-like."
"Everyone has their own pursuits," Qiao Xi thought.
It could also be said that their uncles and brothers were too outstanding, so there was no need for them to fight over the property, and they didn't even care about it.
Su Qingyao suddenly remembered what Qiao Xi had said about her and her family, and couldn't help but ask, "Were you lying to us before?"
"I trusted you so much, thinking you were really having problems with your family. I always felt sorry for you, but you..."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi immediately interrupted her and explained, "I swear, everything I said is true."
“My relationship with Qiao Yuan is real, but I’ve been hiding my connections with the Bai family and Qi Jincheng from you.”
After thinking for a moment, Su Qingyao still chose to believe her, "Okay, I forgive you."
"So Qi Jincheng only came to the welcome party because of you?"
"I guess so," Qiao Xi nodded.
Su Qingyao said with concern for her, "But you two can't openly show your affection together. What will you do tonight?"
Qiao Xi had also thought of this problem, but she hadn't come up with a solution yet. "We'll see how it goes."
“I can cover for you,” Su Qingyao said righteously.
Just for her loyalty, Qiao Xi had to express her gratitude. "Thank you."
Su Qingyao deliberately said, "I have to get along well with you, because you'll be the richest and most powerful woman in the whole capital from now on."
Qiao Xi knew she didn't mean it, but she really hadn't thought about what she was saying. "That's something for the future."
"And nobody knows what will happen in the future."
"I hope it's as I imagine it to be." Su Qingyao firmly believed this.
At this moment, Qiao Xi felt that she had gained another sincere friendship, a charming and intelligent woman.
At noon, under Su Qingyao's cover, Qiao Xi secretly went to have lunch with Qi Jincheng, and then just waited for the afternoon.
Around 3 p.m., the students gradually arrived at the auditorium, and the scene was truly delightful.
The girls were all dressed in evening gowns, and the boys were all dressed in formal attire; it instantly transformed into a banquet for princes and princesses.
But Qiao Xi was immediately drawn to Jun Jiuge, who was dressed in a black dress!
The main thing is that the dress she's wearing is the one she chose!
No, more importantly, Yan Luoheng asked her to help choose that dress as a gift for his girlfriend!
So... why is Jun Jiuge wearing this dress now?
The answer was too obvious; there was no need to guess further, since Yan Luoheng had told her from the beginning that it was a gift for his girlfriend.
Jun Jiuge saw Qiao Xi slowly walking towards her. Qiao Xi stared at her blankly, and when she reached her, she forced a smile and greeted her, "Ninth Master."
“You…” Qiao Xi’s eyes, searching for the truth, uncontrollably examined Jun Jiuge’s clothes, “Your skirt…”
Without hesitation, Jun Jiuge replied, "I bought it on my way here."
Qiao Xi originally thought she would say that someone else gave it to her, but wouldn't tell her who gave it to her. But she actually said that she bought it herself.
If Qiao Xi were to ask her where she bought it right now, how would she answer?
But it was clear that Jun Jiuge didn't want her to know that the dress was a gift from someone else, and even more so, she didn't want her to know who gave it to her.
However, Jun Jiuge looks really good in this dress. Although it is a rather inconspicuous black, her cool and aloof temperament can be appreciated at a glance in the crowd.
"It looks great." Qiao Xi praised her sincerely.
At the same time, she was also praising herself, because her taste was so good that she could pick the most suitable one for her with just a few choices.
The other one would probably look good on her too, as would the jumpsuit she bought.
Qiao Xi almost forgot, so after greeting her, she quickly went to the classroom to get the clothes and handed them to her.
