The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 373 - 343 A Little Pampered

After work, no one left; everyone was waiting at their desks.All of them were workers, and even if they weren’t interested in their business, many didn’t dare to leave.

After all, Xu Jingjing was a member of the senior family, and the boss’s wife had spoken here.

They all had to show some respect, not daring to leave.

Some people were not only afraid to leave but also very curious about the meeting between Qiao Yuxian and Lu Mengyi.

Each person sat at their desk, seemingly chatting or looking at their phones and computers.

In reality, they were constantly paying attention to Qiao Yuxian’s movements.

Five minutes later, Qiao Yuxian got up and went to the restroom.

She could feel that many people were secretly watching her.

Xu Jingjing directly stood up and said, "Qiao Yuxian, where are you going?"

Qiao Yuxian didn’t even look at her and said, "Restroom."

Xu Jingjing glanced at the bag she placed on her desk, knowing she hadn’t left, and sat down with relief.

Zhao Meng rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Qiao Yuxian went to the restroom and made a call to Liu Zhou.

Liu Zhou had already discussed with Yan Ting.

There was no response from Yan Ting yet.

Qiao Yuxian was not in a hurry.

She knew that Yan Ting had to know that she had boarded the plane flying to M Continent before he would take action.

After the call with Liu Zhou, she messaged Gu Yanjing for a while, then returned to the office.

When she returned, Lu Mengyi had already arrived.

She was standing with Xu Jingjing, distributing food to everyone.

Everyone stood at their desks, thanking Xu Jingjing and Lu Mengyi.

Suddenly, they saw Qiao Yuxian come back and stand at the entrance of the office.

In an instant, the office became quiet.

The sudden silence made Qiao Yuxian pause her steps.

Xu Jingjing and Lu Mengyi both turned to look toward the door.

Seeing her return, Xu Jingjing immediately smiled and said, "I thought you sneaked away."

Qiao Yuxian and Lu Mengyi exchanged a glance, raised an eyebrow slightly as a greeting, and walked in front of them, looking at Xu Jingjing and said, "Is there anything worth running from? You didn’t run, so why should I?"

Xu Jingjing laughed again, introducing, "This is the eldest Miss of the Lu Family, Lu Mengyi. She grew up with Brother Yanjing."

She was introducing someone, yet she raised her chin arrogantly.

Lu Mengyi glanced at Xu Jingjing.

Everyone else quietly watched.

Curious people both wanting and not wanting to watch the fun now wondered what would happen when Lu Mengyi and Qiao Yuxian were together.

What would happen?

Would Lu Mengyi embarrass Qiao Yuxian?

Mr. Gu wasn’t at the company, so how would Qiao Yuxian handle it now?

In front of an excellent person like Lu Mengyi, would Qiao Yuxian feel inferior?

Would they end up in a fight?

Zhao Meng worried that Qiao Yuxian would suffer and immediately stood by her side.

Lu Mengyi glanced at her again.

"Qiao Yuxian, why aren’t you talking?" Xu Jingjing saw her silent and with an even more arrogant expression said, "Sister Lu grew up with Brother Yanjing, you didn’t even greet her, that’s so rude."

"Jingjing!" Lu Mengyi’s voice was somewhat solemn, "You’re also being a bit rude."

Xu Jingjing stopped talking, but her gaze toward Qiao Yuxian remained contemptuous.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t pay much attention to Xu Jingjing, looking at Lu Mengyi she said, "When did you return? Weren’t you still abroad as we chatted yesterday morning?"

Lu Mengyi looked at Qiao Yuxian, a trace of smile in her eyes, "Yes, I got back yesterday afternoon."

Xu Jingjing’s proud smile faded and she looked at them both in astonishment.

Zhao Meng’s expression was also a bit surprised.

Others, whether curious or not, were all befuddled and surprised, and there was even a sense of disappointment from some.

"I didn’t know you’re interning here," Lu Mengyi confessed.

Qiao Yuxian laughed, "I forgot to tell you. Came to discuss business?"

"Yeah." Lu Mengyi said, "Just met with Su Qi. Initially planned to contact you tomorrow to hang out."

"Should I take you shopping?" Qiao Yuxian asked with a smile.

Lu Mengyi laughed briefly, "Hmm... maybe I should take you out instead."

Qiao Yuxian laughed too.

"I’ll distribute the items to everyone, then shall we leave together?" Lu Mengyi suggested.

"Okay." Qiao Yuxian looked at Xu Jingjing, "Miss Xu said there’s one especially for me, what is it?"

Lu Mengyi looked at Xu Jingjing again.

Facing her gaze, Xu Jingjing instinctively stepped back two steps, fear showing in her eyes.

Qiao Yuxian laughed again.

Zhao Meng chuckled softly.

She wondered why Xu Jingjing always acted like this, getting herself embarrassed in the process.

Trying to make Qiao Yuxian uncomfortable today.

Turns out Qiao Yuxian knew Lu Mengyi.

Not only knew her, their relationship seemed good.

Zhao Meng glanced at the silent crowd watching them.

They didn’t see the commotion with Qiao Yuxian but saw Xu Jingjing’s drama.

Xu Jingjing’s clown image doubled in magnitude.

Qiao Yuxian accompanied Lu Mengyi in distributing the items, and Lu Mengyi still managed to establish better relationships among the colleagues for Xu Jingjing.

Then they left together.

Zhao Meng and Xu Jingjing also left with them.

They went to the parking lot together.

Xu Jingjing followed behind without saying anything, not expecting they knew each other.

Reaching the parking lot and seeing the Xu Family’s driver nearby, Lu Mengyi said, "Jingjing, Yu Xian is the young madam of the Gu Family. You should be careful when speaking in the future, act more courteous. Don’t be so rude and make others think poorly of you."

She said it without restraint.

"Sister Lu." Xu Jingjing bit her lip looking at her, softly calling out. But only managed that, she was always so arrogant normally, but now dared not say more.

Qiao Yuxian curiously eyed them.

Zhao Meng also found it interesting.

"Got it?" Lu Mengyi’s voice was stern.

"Got it," Xu Jingjing replied.

Lu Mengyi’s tone softened slightly, "Go on, the driver is waiting for you."

Xu Jingjing said nothing, bowed her head and left.

Lu Mengyi looked at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian gave her a thumbs-up.

Lu Mengyi smiled lightly, "The elders all know each other, I’m a few years older than her, and sometimes she’s afraid of me."

Qiao Yuxian nodded, "You’re very nice to her."

Lu Mengyi said, "Grew up together, treated her as a sister. I really didn’t know you were at the company. She asked me to come today, I just..."

"It’s fine," Qiao Yuxian smiled, "Don’t worry about it."

Lu Mengyi smiled softly, "Let’s go, I’ll treat you all to dinner."

"Okay," Qiao Yuxian responded.

"I won’t..." Zhao Meng started.

Before she could finish, Lu Mengyi said, "Come along. Otherwise, with only the two of us, someone might worry."

Her eyes flickered toward Meng Yan in the distance as she spoke.

"Alright then," Zhao Meng understood, "Thank you, Miss Lu."

Qiao Yuxian also said, "Thank you, Sister Lu."

Lu Mengyi glanced at her again, seeing her smiling eyes, looked down and smiled slightly.

Zhao Meng watched the two of them, thinking: How come Lu Mengyi’s smile seems so indulgent?
