Chapter 125: Chapter 119 Introducing a Match to Qiao Jing
Hearing this voice, Qiao Jing turned her head in confusion.
The three women were clad in lavish attire, their necks and hands adorned with various gold and silver jewelry and pearl necklaces.
These three looked somewhat familiar, but Qiao Jing couldn’t quite remember them at the moment.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“Qiao Jing, is that really you?” the fattest woman asked, her gaze filled with both envy and disdain.
They envied Qiao Jing’s beautiful face and figure but scorned her for her overly simple clothes.
“Who are you?” Qiao Jing still couldn’t recognize who the three were.
“You really have a terrible memory, don’t you? Have you forgotten us? We used to live together at the welfare institute for quite a while. Back then, we had some minor frictions, but that’s all in the past. It’s normal for kids to be a little noisy and rowdy.”
The fat woman’s words reminded Qiao Jing, “So it’s you guys.”
They were the ones who used to pick on her as a child before they were adopted.
“Good that you remember.”
The three looked at Qiao Jing with the same disdain, filled with a sense of superiority.
They were all dressed in gold and silver, wearing brand names, each carrying bags worth thousands. In contrast, the value of Qiao Jing’s entire outfit from head to toe probably didn’t even exceed a hundred yuan.
Thinking of this, the three’s look at Qiao Jing became even more disgusted.
Qiao Jing caught the naked contempt in their looks.
“It’s not that my memory is bad, it’s just that you’ve gained so much weight and completely changed shape, making it hard to recognize you.”
Qiao Jing’s words deeply stung the three women, and their faces visibly turned a mix of blue and purple.
“Hehehe…” the fattest woman chuckled awkwardly, “Can’t help it, life has been too good. Eating delicacies like bird’s nest and abalone every day, it’s hard not to gain weight.”
“Exactly, with people stretching hands for clothes and opening mouths for meals, not having to cook by ourselves, and just playing mahjong when we’re free, trying to stay as thin as you is truly difficult.”
Qiao Jing could tell from their words that they were mocking her, presuming she lived a hard life because of her simple clothes.
Indeed, the kind of seedling one is as a child defines the type of tree one grows into.
Tang Yan, looking through the crack of the door, saw everything and then called Zhan Qipei.
“Aren’t you on a vacation?” Zhan Qipei asked in confusion.
“Boss, do you have time to come to Angel Welfare Institute right now?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Someone is bullying Miss Qiao.”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Qipei immediately put aside all his work, arranged for some people, and drove nine Maybach luxury cars towards the Angel Welfare Institute.
Originally, Zhan Qipei wanted to bring 99 cars, but he later decided against it, fearing it would take too long to prepare and cause a delay. He was also worried that too large a procession might cause a sensation and get stopped by traffic police en route.
Inside the welfare institute, Qiao Jing was too lazy to deal with those fat women, who, nevertheless, kept trying to strike up conversations with her deliberately.
“Do you have a partner now? My husband’s uncle is quite nice; he’s been divorced for several years and has a son. If you marry him, you won’t have to rush to have kids. Oh, and my husband’s uncle is quite capable, has his own small business, and makes over half a million a year!”
Qiao Jing gave her a faint look and said in a listless tone, “Not interested.”
“Qiao Jing, don’t act all high and mighty just because you’re pretty! An annual salary of five hundred thousand! That’s only slightly less than what my husband makes—he makes just about one to one point eight million a year.”
“Exactly, I heard you’ve been fiddling with crops in the countryside all this time, just those two acres of land, working hard all year, how much can you earn from that?”
“Qiao Jing, I think you should just try a blind date with my husband’s uncle? Who knows, he might not mind that you’re a country girl with no education, and just fancy you?”
The words of the three were uglier than the next.
Lin Xiuxiang couldn’t bear it anymore and threw off her blankets, preparing to get out of bed.
“Don’t worry, the show is about to start,” Tang Yan told Lin Xiuxiang.
Lin Xiuxiang looked at Tang Yan with a puzzled face, “What do you mean by that?”
Tang Yan told Lin Xiuxiang about the phone call he had just made to Zhan Qipei.
After hearing this, Lin Xiuxiang frowned with concern, “But Qiao Jing and your boss don’t have genuine feelings for each other; they are only together because of an agreement made between their grandfathers. Will your boss really come?”
“He should.”
As soon as Tang Yan finished speaking, he saw through the window a line of black Maybachs one after another.
“This—this is too exaggerated, isn’t it?!” Lin Xiuxiang exclaimed in surprise, then climbed up to the window, stuck her head out, and silently counted a total of nine cars, all of them the million-dollar Maybachs, lined up in a row, parked at the entrance of the welfare institute.
“What’s going on?” Three fat women were scared by this array.
They had seen luxury cars before— their husbands owned them, but those were at most the few hundred thousand-dollar Mercedes and BMW kind. They had never seen anything as top-tier as a Maybach.
And now, suddenly, there were nine, was some big shot making an entrance? But why come to this unimpressive welfare institute?
While they were puzzled, a young man wearing sunglasses suddenly got out of the lead car.
The man was handsome and imposing.
Was this the owner of the Maybachs? This presence was indeed something their small-time boss husbands couldn’t compare with.
While they thought this, the man who looked very imposing walked around the front of the car, then respectfully lined up with other bodyguards from the other cars, standing side by side in two rows.
Huh?
Seeing this, the three fat women were startled again.
So the impressive-looking handsome guy wasn’t the main person?
No way? If such an extraordinary person wasn’t the main person, and those stationed in rows beside him each looked exceptionally valiant.
Employing so many imposing bodyguards, it was imaginable how powerful the person behind them must be!
Different from the three shocked women, Qiao Jing was slightly knitting her brows, her gaze resting on the passenger door of the lead vehicle.
She guessed Zhan Qipei had arrived, but she couldn’t understand why Zhan Qipei would come to this place? And why bring so many bodyguards and drive so many luxury cars?
Could it be that he was thinking of targeting the welfare institute again, planning to demolish it to build a shopping center?
At this thought, Qiao Jing’s expression cooled.
He had clearly promised her that he wouldn’t demolish this place again; if he dared to go back on his word, she had ways to make sure he couldn’t succeed.
“Clack—” the car door slowly opened from the inside, and the first thing to come out was a pair of straight, long legs, followed by the man’s tall, handsome, and imposing posture and handsome face.
Wow! So handsome! And what a powerful aura!
This was the first impression of Zhan Qipei the three fat women had.
Moreover, they all simultaneously noticed that Zhan Qipei’s crisply ironed, wrinkle-free bespoke suit was extremely valuable.
Watching Zhan Qipei walking with long strides and an off-limits aura, the three fat women instinctively took a step back, not daring to get close to him.
As they stepped back, they noticed Qiao Jing standing still like a wooden post, unmovable. Not only that, but she also directly faced the man walking towards her.
Seeing this, the three fat women scorned and ridiculed in their minds, thinking Qiao Jing surely hadn’t seen such a wealthy boss before, so she wanted to try seducing him with her beauty.
That’s really funny. Do you really think just because you’re pretty, you can seduce anyone?
This man is at the top of the food chain, a high-reaching super boss. Why would he take an interest in you?
As the three were waiting to see Qiao Jing make a fool of herself, Zhan Qipei walked up to Qiao Jing and stopped in front of her.
