It’s over, it’s all over…

Zhan Nanqing kept telling herself it was over, she now had no face to see Qiao Jing.

She had been anxious all afternoon, wondering what Qiao Jing would think after learning about this.

After giving Zhan Nanqing a proud glance, Su Manhan turned to Qiao Jing, “Don’t say I’m playing favorites, you’re now nominally one of the Zhan Family, and even though you’re just watering plants and gardening at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute, I’m still willing to let you join this banquet. I’ll say you and Nanqing are both from the Research Institute and celebrate for you both at the same time.”

“That won’t be necessary, I don’t like to draw attention to myself,” Qiao Jing declined.

Su Manhan’s breath hitched in her throat, “You, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that I’m too ostentatious?”

Qiao Jing looked up, calm and composed, “If you insist on taking someone’s casually spoken words personally, I can’t do anything about it.”

“You, you, you—do you mean to say that I’m judging your noble intentions with my petty mind?!” Su Manhan stammered, flustered.

Qiao Jing frowned slightly, clearly becoming impatient, “Are you suffering from a persecution complex? Do you think everyone in the world wants to be your enemy? Whatever I say, you think I’m opposing you?”

At this point, Qiao Jing stood up and scanned the room.

“It seems I’m not very welcome here. Your family should enjoy your gathering, I won’t disturb you further.”

With that, Qiao Jing turned to leave.

But after just one step, her wrist was caught by Zhan Qipei.

Qiao Jing was lethargic, “You—”

“I’ll leave with you,” Zhan Qipei’s voice overpowered Qiao Jing’s words.

Qiao Jing looked slightly bewildered. Was he ready to upset his mother for her sake?
