The old lady looked at Qiao Qiqi's attitude with satisfaction and nodded to herself. Then she said to Xiao Jinyu, "Look, your aunt is giving you a gift even though she doesn't hold a grudge. You're not a child anymore. Be careful what you say in the future and control your temper."
Xiao Jinyu had just received some gifts and was in a good mood, but she would absolutely not call Qiao Qiqi "Auntie".
However, considering the hat, she thought for a moment and then relented: "I'll give you a ride this time, let's go!"
"Thank you, Miss Xiao." Having achieved her goal, Qiao Qiqi got into Xiao Jinyu's car.
As the car drove out of the yard, Xiao Jinyu sat in the passenger seat, fiddling with her hat in front of the mirror. She really liked it more and more. Seeing that Qiao Qiqi in the back seat remained expressionless, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will wearing a hat prevent me from getting freckles?"
No woman is indifferent to her appearance, especially a girl like Xiao Jinyu.
Qiao Qiqi gave Xiao Jinyu the hat because she thought she looked beautiful and cared about her appearance. When she heard Xiao Jinyu's words, she thought for a moment and said, "There are many ways for spots to form. The three most common ones are genetics, pathology, and sun exposure. If I'm not mistaken, the spots on your face were probably there when you were born, right?"
"It wasn't there when I was born; it only started to appear slowly when I was five or six years old."
"Your condition is difficult to remove. You can go to the hospital to see a dermatologist for treatment. In addition, take good care of yourself in daily life, such as wearing a hat or scarf to cover yourself and prevent sun exposure."
Seeing her speaking so fluently, Xiao Jinyu's eyes gradually turned strange. "Aren't you from the countryside? How would someone from the countryside know these things?"
Qiao Qiqi found it somewhat amusing. "Although I come from the countryside, I can read books. And who told you that people from the countryside don't know anything?"
Xiao Jinyu was taken aback and before she could say anything more, Qiao Qiqi saw that the car had already driven some distance out of the compound and that no other car was following behind, so she quickly said, "Just drop me off at the intersection ahead."
Xiao Jinyu dropped her off at the department store at the intersection, watched Qiao Qiqi walk in quickly, and then instructed the driver to drive away.
But as they walked, she felt something was off and asked the driver, "Don't you think this woman is strange? She asked me to drive her, but then got out of the car so quickly. Could she have some ulterior motive?"
The driver smiled, having a good impression of Qiao Qiqi, and said, "Didn't Miss Qiao say she was going out to buy something? There's a department store right at the intersection, so maybe that's what she's going to buy. Besides, you said you had something to do, so maybe she just didn't want to bother you."
Xiao Jinyu thought that made sense, so she stopped worrying about it.
Meanwhile, Qiao Qiqi, although she didn't see anyone behind the car, just to be on the safe side, deliberately circled the department store twice to make sure no one was following her before leaving through the back door.
Meanwhile, the people who were waiting at the gate didn't pay much attention to Xiao Jinyu in the car at first. But shortly after the car drove away, one of the men suddenly frowned: "Did you see a woman sitting in the back seat of Miss Xiao's car just now?"
"No," the other two also said no.
But after thinking for a moment, he stammered, "I dozed off for a bit, and when I opened my eyes I thought I saw a woman, but then again I thought I didn't. I thought I was just seeing things because I wasn't fully awake..."
"You saw it! Why didn't you say so sooner!" The first man was exasperated. He immediately told two of the men to get out of the car and continue guarding, while he started the car and quickly chased after them with the other man.
After chasing for quite a while, I finally spotted the car.
After following the car in front, which twisted and turned several times, it finally stopped in front of the Xiao family's house. As Xiao Jinyu and the driver got out of the car, the two men immediately jumped out and ran forward to take a look at the back seat.
Upon seeing that there was no one in the back seat, the two men's expressions immediately darkened!
Xiao Jinyu was startled by the two people's reaction. Just as she was about to ask them who they were, she suddenly felt that the two people looked familiar, as if she had seen them with her father before.
Realizing they were her father's men, Xiao Jinyu frowned immediately. "What are you two doing?"
Just as the two men were about to reply, Xiao Jinpeng suddenly came out of the house. "What's all the noise about?"
"Young Master." Upon seeing Xiao Jinpeng, the two men immediately stopped hiding their true intentions and told him that Xiao Tanghai had sent them to guard outside the courtyard and observe Qiao Qiqi's actions.
Of course, Xiao Jinpeng immediately understood whether Xiao Tanghai was referring to observation or solution.
Only Xiao Jinyu didn't understand. "Why did my dad ask you to follow Qiao Qiqi?" she asked. Then, she suddenly realized, "I knew that woman was strange. Have you found anything? Tell me immediately if you have, and I'll go tell Grandma!"
The two men exchanged a glance and shook their heads. "We've been staking out outside for three days. She must have noticed us, so she's been very cautious coming out. This time, she hitched a ride with the young lady to avoid being tracked by us."
"So, that woman was using me all along!" Xiao Jinyu was furious!
Realizing she had been tricked, Xiao Jinyu suddenly ripped off her hat and threw it heavily to the ground. "No, I'm going to tell Grandma about this!"
Xiao Jinpeng watched as she angrily opened the car door to get in, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He immediately stopped her. "What are you planning to say to Grandma? That Dad sent someone to follow her? Grandma trusts that woman completely now. If she finds out that Dad disobeyed her, and we can't produce any evidence to prove that the woman has ulterior motives, do you think Grandma will believe us or her?"
"Isn't the fact that woman tricked me into driving her out the best proof? This shows how cunning she is!" Xiao Jinyu still hoped to use this incident to change her grandmother's opinion of Qiao Qiqi.
But Xiao Jinpeng thought she was too naive. "We sent people to monitor her first, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to avoid being followed."
Xiao Jinyu frowned. "Are we just supposed to stand by and watch her swagger around?"
Xiao Jinpeng glanced at her. "That's not necessarily true."
If he's a fox, he'll eventually show his true colors.
Of course, what Xiao Jinpeng wanted was not for the other party to reveal their true colors, but to eliminate them directly.
However, after hearing Xiao Jinyu recount what had happened, he suddenly became somewhat interested in this intelligent woman.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jinpeng suddenly said to Xiao Jinyu, "Get ready, come with me to see Grandma tonight, we'll invite her out for dinner."
Xiao Jinyu stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Why should I invite that scheming woman to dinner? I'm not going!"
You must go!
Seeing that she was completely oblivious to his meaning, Xiao Jinpeng could only dismiss them all, saying, "You can go back and keep an eye on things."
