Chapter 46: Chapter 44 Young Master Zhan, Have You Really Fallen for Qiao Jing?
A tic turn of events!
Zhan Ruiting’s head instantly drooped down.
Zhan Qipei’s pupils suddenly brightened, and his lips uncontrollably lifted into a smile. His smile grew wider and
wider until finally, his chin even seemed to tilt upward slightly.
This woman, her taste isn’t bad at all.
“Ah—" Zhan Yuanshan sighed.
Others might not know Qiao Jing’s thoughts, but how could Zhan Yuanshan, who'd lived for most of his life, not
figure it out?
Qiao Jing’s choice of Zhan Qipei wasn’t because she had feelings for him but because she didn’t want the trouble
of dealing with Zhan Ruiting and planned to easily extricate herself once the agreed-upon tcame.
As Zhan Yuanshan was thinking this, Deng Chi and his wife, accompanied by a young man, approached.
“Miss Qiao,” Deng Chi greeted Qiao Jing cheerfully.
Qiao Jing frowned, thinking that Deng Chi approached her because of Deng Yunran’s matter.
There was no room for negotiation in this matter; she wouldn't release Deng Yunran early for anyone's pleading.
Zhan Yuanshan thought so as well.
“Deng family lad, what are you up to? Planning to bully my granddaughter-in-law? She belongs to the Zhan
Family, and it was your daughter who was thoughtless and provoked her. Everything is her own doing, and if you
dare to cause her trouble, feel free to try it!” Zhan Yuanshan sternly warned Deng Chi.
Zhan Qipei had already made his way to Qiao Jing’s side, as if to support her.
How could Zhan Ruiting pass up such a chance to play the protective role? He immediately took position on the
other side of Qiao Jing.
Zhan Qipei gave Zhan Ruiting a cold sidelong glance, and as he withdrew his gaze, he took half a step closer to
Qiao Jing.
“Old Master Zhan, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to trouble Miss Qiao. You're right; Yunran has been spoiled
byand acts arrogantly everywhere. It's good for her that Miss Qiao sent her to the police station,” Deng Chi
said, stunning everyone.
What's going on?
But that wasn’t the most surprising part.
Zhang Fenxue, Deng Chi’s wife, also chimed in, “Yes! It's my fault for doting on her too much, which led to such
consequences. It’s good for her to reflect and correct her ways in the police station now. Otherwise, it would be
too late if she causes a bigger problem in the future.”
Just by Deng Chi and Zhang Fenxue’s attitudes, not to mention shocking Qiao Jing and the others, even their son
Deng Yunyi didn’t expect it.
Although Deng Yunyi also felt the incident was definitely his sister's fault, she was still the biological daughter of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDeng Chi and Zhang Fenxue, who usually couldn't wait to spoil Deng Yunran to the skies.
And now they'd said such things?
Before Deng Yunyi could understand, Zhang Fenxue had pushed him in front of Qiao Jing.
“Yunyi, it's your first tmeeting Miss Qiao. Aren't you going to greet her?”
Hmm? Old Master Zhan narrowed his eyes, his old, cunning eyes scanning Deng Chi and Zhang Fenxue.
He quickly reached a conclusion.
This couple was up to no good, targeting his granddaughter-in-law.
Deng Yunyi also vaguely sensed something from Zhang Fenxue and Deng Chi’s behavior, although he didn’t
understand why it was Qiao Jing.
Of course, he always decided his own affairs. No one could force him into something he disliked. Although Qiao
Jing was very beautiful, he had only one standard for seeking a partner.
Exceptionally excellent!
Since he was an archaeologist with little interest in business matters, he had been focused on archaeology over
the years. Thus, he hoped his significant other would have achievements in a certain field, which would also set
a good example for their future children’s education.
But out of politeness, Deng Yunyi still greeted Qiao Jing.
“Hello.”
Qiao Jing nodded slightly, “Hello.”
Zhan Qipei, who had been quietly observing, relaxed his guard a little when he saw Deng Yunyi didn’t show that
kind of interest in Qiao Jing.
Deng Chi and Zhang Fenxue watched as their son stood there like a block of wood, feeling extremely anxious.
“Yunyi! Chat with Miss Qiao, maybe you can find scommon topics?”
The way Zhang Fenxue and Deng Chi acted had the opposite effect, making Deng Yunyi even more resistant to
interacting with Qiao Jing.
“Move aside! Step aside!” Xu Hongzu hurried over with Xu Mogian.
“Latecomers, what are you cutting in line for? Move aside.” Xu Hongzu, getting impatient, pushed Deng Chi and
others aside.
Xu Mogian raised his hand to greet Qiao Jing, who responded with a smile.
Zhan Qipei watched as Xu Mogian suddenly appeared and saw the interaction between the two, which made him
feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Zhan Ruiting also looked at Xu Mogian with the eyes of a rival, with an attitude of ‘dare to cover and try’.
After Xu Mogian read this layer of meaning from Zhan Ruiting’s expression, he raised his eyebrows playfully and
deliberately strode over.
“Sister Jing, after the banquet, shall we go sing? We can also invite Lin Xiuxiang and Ni Yue, along with Second
Brother and the others, let's have a good ttogether?”
“Sure.” Qiao Jing thought it had been a long while since she last went out for fun and agreed immediately.
“You're not allowed to go!” Zhan Qipei watched Qiao Jing with gritted teeth.
Qiao Jing looked at Zhan Qipei with suspicion, “Why not?”
“By the tthe banquet ends, it will already be late, and if you go out then, coming back so late will disturb my
messages. I'm not like you, idle, | still have to go to the office.”
“Oh, then | won’t cback tonight, I'll find a hotel to stay in.” Qiao Jing said.
She’s not coming back? And staying overnight at a hotel? If word gets out, what happens to the face of Zhan
Qipei?
Just as he prepared to speak up and stop her, Zhan Ruiting started sucking up to Qiao Jing like an overeager
puppy.
“Doctor Qiao, may | join you?”
Before Qiao Jing could respond, Xu Mogian spoke up first, “We're all friends here, it’s not fitting for an outsider
like you to join.”

Qiao Jing had always been someone who couldn't resist a softer approach over a forceful one, so facing someone
like Zhan Ruiting who begged her with those eyes, she seldom could resist.
So, this was why she chose Zhan Qipei when Zhan Yuanshan asked her to choose earlier.
“Do as you like.”
“Thank you, Doctor Qiao! You are so kind!” Zhan Ruiting grinned from ear to ear with happiness.
Zhan Qipei’s face had darkened countless times that night, and at this moment, he looked daunting and
emanated a chilling aura.
But no one paid him any attention.
One by one, they circled around Qiao Jing.
Little did they know this was just the beginning.
Lu Zijin cover too, and his affectionate gaze towards Qiao Jing was so obvious that even a blind person
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcould see his admiration for her.
“You look beautiful tonight.” This was the first tLu Zijin had seen Qiao Jing dressed so formally in an evening
gown, with her makeup done beautifully.
The girl was naturally pretty, but right now, Qiao Jing, looking like a fairy descended to earth, deepened Lu Zijin's
infatuation even more.
A vein throbbed on Zhan Qipei’s forehead as he reached the limit of his patience. Just as he was about to
explode, Lu Zijiao suddenly appeared, blocking the space between him and Qiao Jing.

Having been brothers with Zhan Qipei for so many years, Lu Zijiao sniffed out an unusual scent from Zhan
Qipei’s words just now.
With his eyes fixed on Zhan Qipei, Lu Zijiao couldn't help but blurt out, “Young Master Zhan, you couldn't
possibly have real feelings for Qiao Jing, could you?”
