Chapter 778: Qin Jiao Looks Down on You
Qin Jiao walked over to Meng Lanlan’s side, pulled out a tissue, and handed it to her. Her eyes were rimmed with red.
She said, “Don’t be like this. Xingxing will worry when they come out.”
Meng Lanlan sniffled, nodded, and used the tissue to wipe the corners of her eyes.
Su Yuxi took off her glasses and said to Qin Jiao, “You’ve always been so good at putting on a show.”
“Not as good as you.”
“Fine. I’m not going to argue with you here. Qin Jiao, let’s have a proper talk tomorrow morning. At the cafe near the company.”
After she finished speaking, she put her sunglasses back on, lifted her chin, and walked away.
She looked just like a proud peacock.
People nearby also started murmuring to each other.
“Isn’t that a celebrity? Is she also here to pick up her kid from the preschool?”
“I doubt it. She doesn’t look like she’s had a child.”
“She doesn’t seem to have a very good temper, though.”
Meanwhile, Meng Lanlan had calmed down. She said softly, “Qin Jiao, thank you.”
“Just ignore her from now on. She’s completely reckless. She lived a wild life when she was young, and now that she can’t anymore, she suddenly remembers she has a child.”
Qin Jiao guessed, ‘Knowing Su Yuxi, she probably didn’t even like the child right after it was born.’
‘For her to suddenly care now, there could only be one reason.’
‘She can’t have children anymore.’
‘How sad. She isn’t even thirty, and she’s already ruined her body like this.’
‘And it’s clear she’s gone under the knife more than a few times.’
‘Why even bother?’
Meng Lanlan nodded. She had panicked mainly because she was worried the child would be affected.
She remembered what Su Yuxi had said before leaving and quickly added, “Qin Jiao, if she asks you to meet, you absolutely can’t go. Especially not by yourself!”
“Yeah, I’m busy. I don’t have time for her.”
Qin Jiao was busy making money, taking care of her family, and studying business administration.
There was never enough time.
‘Who had time to go for coffee with Su Yuxi?’
As a result, Su Yuxi waited around Jinyi Company for several days, but Qin Jiao never showed. She was so angry her fake nose nearly went crooked.
Su Zeyuan said, exasperated, “That Qin Jiao is a sharp woman. She was never going to come have coffee with you.”
Su Yuxi sneered, “You certainly have a high opinion of her.”
Su Zeyuan rolled up the cuffs of his shirt and said with a smile, “Jealous?”
Su Yuxi replied, “I might get jealous over anyone else, but never Qin Jiao. Because I know she looks down on you.”
The smile in Su Zeyuan’s eyes faded a bit.
Su Yuxi, however, leaned in, sat on his lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Mainly because you only love me,” she said. “You could never love anyone else.”
‘That was the book’s original setting.’
‘This man was utterly devoted to her.’
Su Zeyuan held her and started to kiss her, but a flicker of indifference flashed in his half-lowered eyes.
‘He did love Lin Nian. There was no doubt about that.’
‘But even Lin Nian herself had forgotten that she was no longer Lin Nian.’
‘She was Su Yuxi.’
‘A woman kept by a foreign businessman.’
‘And Su Yuxi had been right about one thing. As much as Su Zeyuan admired Qin Jiao, he knew full well that even if he were still his old self, Lu Jiuan, Qin Jiao would never like him.’
‘But there was another woman, a foolish one.’
‘Even after he had deceived her, she remained completely devoted to him.’
‘Her name was Meng Lanlan.’
‘Su Zeyuan also knew that Meng Lanlan had adopted the daughter Lin Nian had with Shen Feng. What a silly girl.’
And as Su Zeyuan thought of Meng Lanlan, Su Yuxi, who was kissing him, was thinking of Qin Jiao.
