Yi Shiqiong heard all of this and all the sadness she felt disappeared.
It was true. No matter how capable Qiao Qing was, she was nothing compared to a prominent family in the Capital City.
Even celebrities who earn millions per film want to marry into a rich family – let alone a writer, who earns a lot less.
If it weren’t for… she never would’ve gotten this opportunity.
Luo Chen almost laughed out loud after he heard what Fu Siying had to say.
First of all, Qiao Qing was the granddaughter of the Qi family – a highly sought-after individual.
Next, the number one prominent family in the Capital City was the Jun family.
The power holder of the Jun family and the CEO of the Jun corporation was Qiao Qing’s boyfriend.
What’s she got to compare? Against Yi Shiqiong? That was the funniest joke he’s heard all year!
If it weren’t for the fact that it wasn’t his place to expose Qiao Qing’s identity and relationship, he really wanted to tell those two and see what faces they make.
Fu Siying watched as Luo Chen laughed out loud. Her face turned black, “What are you laughing at?!”
Luo Chen said, “I’m laughing at the frogs in the well!”
He then took Qiao Qing’s arm and dragged her away, “Qingqing, let’s go.”
Fu Siying hissed as they left, “Two country bumpkins from the City of Brisk. All they can do is talk!”
After Luo Chen and Qiao Qing walked far away, Qiao Qing asked, “Don’t you think Yi Shiqiong reminds you of someone?”
Luo Chen, “Ah? Who?”
Qiao Qing, “Xiyan.”
Luo Chen was very surprised by this question, “No way, Qingqing. Remember when I commented that Qiao Nian reminded me of the character Lan Xi? Remember how angry you were? How can you compare that b!tch to Xiyan…”
He then scratched his head and made a “hmm” noise.
“They are a little bit alike. Their fashion style and hairstyle. Even their temperament. But Xiyan is genuine while Yi Shiqiong fakes it. Wait, Qingqing, why do you ask?”
Qiao Qing answered, “Nothing. I just thought of something.”
The two chatted a bit more and then went to their respective class.
At lunch, Qiao Qing planned on going out to eat. But on her way out, she ran into someone unexpected.
She originally ignored Fu Xiuyu, but he blocked her.
Qiao Qing said, “I’m not with Xiyan.”
Fu Xiuyu announced, “I’m here for you.”
Inside the coffee shop, Fu Xiuyu looked over to the calm and cool Qiao Qing, “Can you tell me more about Lin Xiyan?”
Qiao Qing said, “I only met her in my third year of high school. I don’t know anything about her past. But, if there’s something you want to know, wouldn’t you be able to send someone to find out?”
“I did.” Fu Xiuyu answered, “But I couldn’t find any trace of information. That’s why I wanted to ask you.”
Qiao Qing flashed a faint smile, “Do you have any memories of your life before you turned 16?”
Fu Xiuyu was surprised by that question, “You think my memory’s been messed with? But I remember my childhood. I was sent abroad to study and only came back home at the age of 16. Then, I was trained to become the next inheritor.”
Qiao Qing wasn’t too surprised by that answer, “So why didn’t you ask me about Xiyan before? Why today?”
Fu Xiuyu said, “I had a dream a few days ago. It was about her. Though it was a dream, it felt so real. So I want to find out if we really did cross paths before.”
Qiao Qing coldly snickered, “You are getting engaged today. What’s the use of finding out more about her.”
Fu Xiuyu choked, “That was decided by my mom. I told her I wanted to delay it but she didn’t let me.”
