The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy

Chapter 817 - 787

Gu Lizhe really trusts Qiao Qiqi because, in his eyes, his older brother and sister-in-law are truly omnipotent!

Gu Cheng got angry when he saw this and turned around to leave, not wanting to say a single word to him.

Gu Lizhe is now feeling guilty, so he doesn’t dare provoke him and continues to inquire for news in embarrassment.

...

In the evening, Yu Ke came on time to invite Qiao Qiqi for dinner.

Others are having a buffet in the restaurant; he specifically invited Qiao Qiqi to dine with the master.

Because the treatment was too special, everyone attending the medical conference knew that this year there was something special at the conference—a young girl had become a honored guest of Director Yan from the research institute.

You should know that Director Yan is notoriously aloof; he rarely shows face even if invited, making everyone extremely curious about this girl.

Shui Qingcheng and Xia Lulu heard others discussing Qiao Qiqi during dinner and were visibly upset.

Back at their seats, Shui Qingcheng said, "Why doesn’t Junior Sister Qiao come and join everyone?"

"She just wants special treatment, wants everyone to know she’s different! She’s too fond of standing out... Even the director and the secretary are dining with us, but she wants to be the exception." Xia Lulu was equally dissatisfied.

"People have that capability; if you have the ability, go ahead and make yourself special, let me see. If you don’t, then stop being sarcastic here. I can only think you’re jealous to the point of madness!" Senior Zheng couldn’t tolerate their sarcasm anymore and retorted sharply.

"Zheng Ang, what’s wrong with you?" Shui Qingcheng looked at him with a surprised expression.

"What’s wrong with me? You two have been acting sarcastic and badmouthing the junior sister since leaving school. If you have the nerve, go and connect with Director Yan; otherwise, shut up and mind your own business! Your jealousy is really unattractive!" Zheng Ang finished speaking, got up holding his meal, and left, unable to eat with the two any longer.

Shui Qingcheng clenched her chopsticks tightly, suppressing the anger inside.

"Is Senior Zheng crazy? Why’s he speaking up for Qiao Qiqi? She didn’t even upgrade him to first class!"

"Bang!" The sound startled Xia Lulu, and another accompanying senior named Jiang Dafu coldly questioned, "Neither Zheng Ang nor I have any relationship with Junior Sister Qiao; we hardly exchanged words. Why should she upgrade our seats to first class? Oh, and it’s her fault for not doing so?"

"No, we’re from the same school, and besides, how come she upgraded the director? Obviously trying to curry favor." Xia Lulu was unconvinced.

"Even if she’s currying favor, she’s using her own money, not yours. What’s there to be jealous about? If you have money, go curry favor too! Otherwise, shut up. Junior Sister Qiao doesn’t owe me anything, and I don’t need her to upgrade my seat!" Jiang Fu also had enough, picked up his meal, and went to find classmates.

Xia Lulu, "..."

"Are those two crazy?"

Director Yang and another secretary came over, seeing only the two girls left, and asked, "What happened? Why did those two go over there?"

"I don’t know, who knows what madness struck them?" Xia Lulu said angrily.

Director Yang, "..."

"I’m going over there too."

Who exactly is acting mad?

...

Qiao Qiqi doesn’t intend to keep the old man’s special skills from Director Yan; those skills could save lives, and she plans to promote them, but before that, she needs to ascertain Director Yan’s character.
