“Ah, did I do this?” Xiao Qing immediately cried out in surprise, but then she immediately shook her head. “No, it’s not me.”

“Of course not.” Shen Mubei accidentally spilled it on himself. He came over to clean up and bumped into Xiao Qing.

“That’s good!” Xiao Qing immediately ran. She had already forgotten the expression on her face, but she knew that it was definitely uglier than her crying face.

She was in such a hurry that she didn’t even know that she had dropped something.

Shen Mubei patiently picked up the notebook she had dropped and glanced at it.

Seeing the direction she ran in, he followed her in a few steps.

Xiao Qing seemed to be sorting out her bag, but actually, she just grabbed a few things randomly and stuffed them into the bag. She then picked it up and left.

Seeing that she was in a hurry, the director’s assistant asked, “Miss Xiao, don’t forget that there’s a gathering tonight. The investor is here tonight. He invited everyone…”

“Oh, I just remembered that I still have something to do, so I won’t be having dinner with you. Thank you for your kindness, though.”

“Okay, then,” the director’s assistant replied.

Shen Mubei frowned even more. Xiao Qing ran away as soon as she saw him.

Did she hate him that much?

He looked himself up and down. Although he was not a heartthrob, he was not detestable, right?

Xiao Qing ran out, patted her chest, and looked behind her until she couldn’t see anything. Then, she lowered her head and walked forward. When she came, she had taken Qiao Weiyang’s car, which was parked at the hospital.

Thinking of the scene just now, she looked down on herself for being timid. It was not like Shen Mubei would eat her up. He did not know that she liked him. Why was she always scared like a frightened bird?! ‘Xiao Qing, can you be more presentable?!’

After thinking about it, she waved at the taxi beside her.

The taxi did not come over. Instead, a Land Rover stopped by her.

The car window was rolled down. When Shen Mubei’s face appeared in front of

Xiao Qing, she held her breath and nearly suffocated. She looked like she was at d luss.

“What a coincidence… P-President Shen.” Xiao Qing didn’t know how she managed to say these words.

Shen Mubei frowned. Although the Shen and Xiao families were not best friends, they still had some business dealings. Logically speaking, they should not be so distant.

Why did Xiao Qing hate him?

“It’s not a coincidence. I’m looking for you.”

Xiao Qing held her breath. “What for?”

“Is this yours?” Shen Mubei held a small notebook between his slender fingers and handed it over.

“It’s mine. Thank you.” Xiao Qing didn’t even notice that her notebook was missing and hurriedly took it. There was a lot of inspiration recorded in it. It could be said to be priceless to her.

“Where are you going?” Shen Mubei asked.

This question was a little strange. Perhaps it was the look of joy on her face when she took the notebook that infected him. Perhaps it was just because of their relationship, so he was polite.

“Where am I going?” Xiao Qing couldn’t think when she met his eyes.

“I’m asking you where you’re going. Maybe I can drop you off if it’s on the way.”

“No, I’m not going anywhere. I can go anywhere…” Xiao Qing shook her head in panic. “President Shen, go ahead with your matters.”

Shen Mubei looked at her steadily, rolled up the car window, and drove away.

Xiao Qing collapsed on the street and sat down.

She received a message on WeChat.

[I heard from the director’s assistant that you left. Did something urgent happen?]

It was from Qiao Weiyang.

[I wanted to stay for dinner too, but guess who I met? Shen Mubei! Shen Mubei!]

Only then did Qiao Weiyang remember that the movie she was filming this time was invested in by Shen Mubei. It was probably because Shen Mubei had given the order that they were going to have a gathering tonight.

She had thought it was strange before. Why would they gather for a meal so suddenly?

[Actually, Shen Mubei might not be around for the gathering. You might not be able to see him even if you join us.]

[That’s true… But forget it. I can’t think straight when I see him. Maybe he’s a disaster sent from the heavens. Forget it, forget it. It’s good that I can’t see him.]

[Alright, be careful on the way back. Let me know when you arrive.]

As expected, Shen Mubei did not come to the gathering at night. He only provided the funds that everyone wanted.

Qiao Weiyang took two casual bites before Xiao Qing sent a message. [My mother arranged another blind date for me. She even asked me to change my job. I… I really don’t like my family’s financial investment company. If I could do it, I would have done it long ago.]

[Continue communicating with Aunt.]

A moment later, Xiao Qing replied: [I’ve communicated with her. She said that if I don’t achieve anything in a year, I’ll have to go back and help my father. I have to write something quickly. Otherwise, I’ll really have to go back and inherit the family business! I have a headache when I see numbers! This is a disaster! Why am I so miserable?!]

Qiao Weiyang sent a few memes to comfort her and put away her cell phone.

At the Qiao family’s house.

It was rare for Qiao Dongliang to be back. But as soon as he came back, he sat in his room and answered study questions.

Qiao Jierou knocked on his door with a glass of milk in hand.

“Come in,” he said.

Seeing Qiao Jierou come in with milk, he said, “I’m doing mock exam papers.

Have a seat.”

“You’re working hard. I heated up the milk just now. Since you didn’t eat much for dinner, you should fill your stomach.”

“Thank you, Second Sister.”

It took Qiao Dongliang another half an hour to finish the mock exam papers. Qiao Jierou then asked, “How are the exams now? Are they still difficult?” “The college entrance examination will definitely be difficult.”

“Managing the family business in the future might be even more difficult than this. Dongliang, after you graduate, you’ll definitely join our family business, right?”

He thought for a while and said, “We’ll talk about it later.”

“Okay, I won’t talk about it anymore. Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom have high hopes for you. You don’t have to be afraid when you join the company in the future. Anyway, Brother Heng and I will help you.”

“Yes, okay.”

“Dongliang, I’m your biological sister. We have the same parents. No matter what, we’re the closest people to each other. To put it bluntly, when the elders pass away in the future, the two of us will be the only ones who can rely on each other for survival. We’re family members with the same bloodline.”

Hearing her words, he was a little touched and nodded. “Yes.”

“So no matter what happens in the future, we have to face everything together, don’t you think so?”

Qiao Jierou tried her best to pull him to her side.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Otherwise, if he supported Qiao Weiyang, there would be many variables. “And Sister. She’s also a member of the Qiao family.” Qiao Jierou’s words were disagreeable. “There are three of us, not two. She’s also Dad’s child.”
