Chapter 969: Chapter 957: Lu Zijin Invites Qiao Jing to a Banquet

Could she really be the missing daughter-in-law of the Zhan Family?

Regarding this matter, Qiao Jing had her suspicions before, but it had never been as strong as today.

After pondering for a moment, Qiao Jing shook her head, negating her earlier speculations.

Because the place where Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin found her was far too distant from the sea area where the Zhan Family’s daughter-in-law had an accident.

Even if the sea currents were strong enough to wash someone from one area to another, someone soaked in water for that long would surely have perished, making it impossible for them to survive.

So, her previous guess must have been overthinking…

Seeing her lost in thought, Lu Zijin asked suspiciously, “Are you okay?”

These words snapped Qiao Jing out of her reverie.

She shook her head and casually replied, “I’m fine, just suddenly reminded of something.”

Understanding her vagueness, Lu Zijin realized she didn’t want to elaborate.

Out of politeness, Lu Zijin did not pursue the topic further.

He hesitated for a moment before changing the subject, “Are you free this weekend?”

Qiao Jing instinctively thought Lu Zijin was going to discuss the health issue again, so she nodded and replied, “Yes, I am.”


Having confirmed her availability, Lu Zijin continued, “Actually, I wanted to ask if you could accompany me to a banquet; it’s the kind where guests are supposed to bring a date.”

Qiao Jing found it odd upon hearing this.

She looked at Lu Zijin puzzled, “Someone like you still needs a date?”
