Shen Tingting grabbed her skirt, and everyone’s eyes fell on her, her face turning bright red.
"Qiao Mo! I won’t let you off!"
Shen Tingting spoke through gritted teeth and quickly ran away.
Qiao Mo calmly retracted her gaze and glanced at Shen Tingting’s ruined equestrian outfit.
She really ought to thank Shen Tingting for preferring those luxurious and dazzling styles; otherwise, if she hadn’t used this gold thread, Qiao Mo wouldn’t know what to do.
But this ti... Yu Xiaoqin probably won’t cause any more trouble.
Shortly after returning to the dormitory, Qiao Mo heard about Yu Xiaoqin’s expulsion.
As for Shen Tingting, since she was initially the victim and her father Shen Ling is a major shareholder in the school, she naturally stayed.
Two days later, the competition began.
Qiao Mo’s equestrian outfit took first place, while Shen Tingting managed to whip up another one in two days. Though she secretly enlisted a lot of help, ti was too tight, so it was rather rough.
Thankfully, she still advanced to the next round with a tenth place finish, showing considerable skill.
As for the ranking, Qiao Mo was sowhat pleasantly surprised.
Strangely enough, she had never really put effort into her studies since childhood, yet her grades were always exceptionally good, never requiring much thought, which often made Qiao Yin gnash her teeth in envy.
...
The mont the competition ended, Fu Nancheng ca directly to the school to pick Qiao Mo up and take her ho.
After all, Qiao Mo hadn’t returned to Nanshan Villa last weekend, being extrely busy, and they hadn’t seen each other for ten days in a row.
Sitting in the car, Qiao Mo couldn’t help but ask, "Is Xiao Xuan’s surgery this week?"
He looked at her with a calm expression, sowhat enamored by this woman he hadn’t seen in nearly half a month, feeling a bit displeased that her first question was about soone else. He just responded, "Yes."
"I wonder how Xiao Xuan will be after the surgery..." Qiao Mo said softly, then rembered Qiao Dehou’s second trial.
It seed that the second trial was not far away, so she figured she should et Professor Han’s son, Han Zirui, soon.
Co to think of it, ever since Qiao Dehou had his incident...
She had hardly visited him since the initial period.
It wasn’t that she was cold-hearted, but she felt too ashad to face this man who had always been so good to her.
Since his trouble began, she not only hadn’t been able to clear his na but also failed to take good care of the family.
Although those people weren’t kind to her... in any case, they were indeed Qiao Dehou’s relatives.
Surely... if her father knew about the current situation, he would be disappointed in her.
Qiao Mo sighed lightly and ca back to reality, only to find that the car didn’t seem to be heading toward Nanshan Villa.
"Where are we going?"
"To eat."
Qiao Mo turned to look at him. As always, he was deep, elegantly flipping through the docunts in his hand, as if there was always endless work to be done.
She didn’t voice any disturbance until an hour later, as evening approached and the car finally stopped at a sowhat old alley.
Being a small alley, it was difficult for the car to enter.
They stopped at the entrance and then walked inside.
The path made of bluestone slabs had sowhat aged stone walls on both sides, with green moss at the corners, exuding a faint sense of cold and loneliness.
Qiao Mo followed beside him, looking at the tall man in the dark suit in front of her, puzzled.
Why would a man of such status co to this kind of place to eat?
After walking for about ten minutes, he stopped in front of a soup bun shop, gradually coming to a halt, and looked up at the shop’s signboard, appearing a bit lost in thought.
