Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 416: Chapter 405: Professor Qiao Symposium (2) Chapter 416: Chapter 405: Professor Qiao Symposium (2) She deliberately emphasized the words “sister-in-law” and “child.”

Originally, she had thought that, after all, she was the big boss of a corporate group and also had a special identity, that was Wu Xirui, her aunt’s son. If it hadn’t been for her brother, perhaps her aunt might have inherited Zhan Corporation. So, she felt a bit guilty.

But now it seemed that she didn’t need to be polite to Wu Xirui at all, since this man even dared to covet her sister-in-law.

Wishful thinking!

Wu Xirui’s smile on his face became slightly stiff, and the next second it returned to normal.

“I just had a few questions to ask her, what’s with your overreaction?” he said.

Zhan Nanqing “hmphed” in response and, pulling Qiao Jing along, headed towards the entrance while muttering softly,

“Anyone could see right through your schemes…”

Qiao Jing didn’t say anything; she didn’t have much time to chat with Wu Xirui now as she needed to prepare for her upcoming speech backstage.

Wu Xirui stood still, watching Qiao Jing’s retreating figure until she disappeared from his sight, then he walked to the entrance to enter the venue.

When he arrived inside, he found that the place was almost full.

Sure enough, it was Professor Qiao’s seminar!

He looked around for a week and didn’t find Qiao Jing, only seeing Zhan Nanqing in the front row.

He furrowed his brows, finding it strange.

If Qiao Jing wasn’t here, where had she gone?

At that moment, Qiao Jing was backstage adjusting the microphone, shredding the script she had written the day before.

She glanced at herself in the mirror, ensuring her appearance was neat, before stepping onto the stage.

The first thing the audience heard was the “click-clack” of high heels on the floor.

Half of the people present, who had never seen Professor Qiao, showed surprised expressions.

They lowered their voices and whispered among themselves.

“That’s the sound of high heels, isn’t it? Is Professor Qiao a woman?”

“I always thought she was a man, a venerable and respected elder type.”

“Same here, but for me, whether she is a man or a woman doesn’t matter; I just want to witness Professor Qiao’s true face myself, to admire her.”
