First Miss Badass
Chapter 6 The prostitute is a hypocrite
Quan Jue was a year older than Chi Jiao. Therefore, he was eighteen years old this year.
Chi Jiao blinked her big eyes like a doe and looked at the youngster expectantly. It felt like a little rabbit was living in his heart.
This was the first time she had experienced such a young romance.
He had always thought that Quan Jue was handsome in his previous life. He was his type, but he could only see it from afar because he seemed too difficult to deal with.
But there is something different in this life. He'll definitely have it.
To Chi Jiao's dismay, Quan Jue simply nodded coldly at her. He didn't even bother to give her a smile. He just turned his face and walked up the stairs.
“That person just now was our adopted son, Quan Jue. He was always so cold and gloomy, and he treated everyone the same way. Jiaojiao, don't mind him,” Zhu Limin said to him with a smile. Her polite manner was always like how a leader mother would treat her guests.
Chi Jiao, of course, did not mind Quan Jue's indifference. Holding back his pounding heart, he looked at Chi Mingwei and said, “Dad, I'm a little tired.”
“Go back to your room and rest. I'm taking you back to our old house to see your grandfather tomorrow. Do you remember what day tomorrow is?”
“Of course I remember. I've prepared my gift.” Chi Jiao smiled sweetly.
In the Chi family, the only people who treated him sincerely were Quan Jue, his father, and his grandfather.
Zhu Limin glanced at him. “Jiaojiao, many people will attend the birthday party tomorrow. What gifts have you prepared? You have to adjust to your status as the second daughter of the Chi family in the end.”
In other words, he was afraid that the Chi Jiao reward would be embarrassing.
He did not believe that Chi Jiao could prepare anything good.
“This is a secret.” Chi Jiao blinked her eyes mysteriously.
Zhu Limin's smile turned stiff, and he could not help but curse inwardly.
Jal*ng is really pretentious.
Chi Mingwei could not help but think of Chi Jiao's mother when she saw her sweet and pleasant appearance.
He reached out to caress the top of Chi Jiao's head lovingly. “Go and rest. Your aunt and I will bring Little Ze to attend tonight's event. If your older sister doesn't come back, you can tell Butler Zhou what you want for dinner.”
Zhu Limin nearly broke his molar with how hard he gritted his teeth as he watched Chi Mingwei's gentle demeanor towards Chi Jiao.
......................
When she returned to her room, Chi Jiao slumped onto her bed.
After lying on the bed for a while, he took out a black, brick-like phone from his bag and dialed the number.
It took only a second to pick up the call, followed by the voice of the anxious woman on the other end of the phone.
“Nona, you finally called me back.”
“Qingqing small, what happened? Why are you looking for me so urgently?” Chi Jiao asked lazily while twirling her hair with her finger.
“There was a traitor in our lab at Shang Jing. The sample has been stolen,” Yan Qingqing said with gritted teeth.
If possible, Yan Qingqing was eager to crawl through the phone line to beat up Chi Jiao well.
It was a sample he had painstakingly developed himself. However, now that it had been stolen, he was not anxious at all.
“Ah Shun did it, right?” Chi Jiao asked.
“How do you know? I haven't sent anyone to tell you.”
“Have you forgotten what my profession is?” Chi Jiao's lazy tone was tinged with a certain level of ridicule.
“…”
The other end of the phone slipped into a brief silence.
