Seeing that Zhan Qipei and Wu Xirui finally cald down, Qiao Jing then picked up her chopsticks again and continued eating.
Although the al was noisy, it was finally finished smoothly.
After the al, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin felt they couldn’t withstand the tense atmosphere of this battlefield, so they made excuses to slip away, leaving only Qiao Jing, Zhan Qipei, and Wu Xirui behind.
Amid the sowhat strange atmosphere, Wu Xirui suddenly rembered sothing.
He suddenly looked at Qiao Jing and directly said, "After you left the hotel yesterday, I inquired about the situation at the ti. According to others present, when a female waiter stumbled towards you, she accidentally peeled off the fake skin on your face. I think this incident is too coincidental, so coincidental that it doesn’t seem like an accident at all."
Hearing this, Qiao Jing’s eyes slightly lowered, lost in thought.
She didn’t think much of it at the ti, but now, hearing Wu Xirui say this, she recalls yesterday’s scene more carefully, and indeed, it seems a bit strange.
According to the situation back then, if it wasn’t intentional, that female waiter couldn’t have possibly touched her face!
Wu Xirui continued, "So, I had that female waiter brought in for questioning, and it turned out that she was instigated by soone to fake a fall in front of you and take the opportunity to peel off the fake skin on your face."
"And the ones who bribed the female waiter and instigated her to do this were the two sisters from the Sun Family!"
After hearing this, Qiao Jing nodded knowingly, "So that’s how it is..."
If this was planned by Sun Mingzhu and Sun Mingxin, then she could guess the gist of the whole thing.
Previously, these sisters were jealous for no reason, storming to her place to pick a fight, cursing at her like shrews, and even started getting physical.
At that ti, when Sun Mingxin was going berserk, she accidentally touched her face. Perhaps it was then that Sun Mingxin discovered sothing unusual.
So, Sun Mingxin and her sister suspected that she was using fake skin to disguise her real, uglier appearance.
Hence, the sisters plotted to reveal her true face in front of everyone at Master Han’s birthday banquet, making her embarrassed...
"The Sun Sisters’ actions clearly have ulterior motives. Let teach them a lesson to vent your anger, shall I?"
Wu Xirui’s voice brought Qiao Jing back from her thoughts.
However, before she could say anything, Zhan Qipei spoke up, "No need for you to step in, I’ll handle this matter."
Qiao Jing is his wife; if there’s anyone to vent anger, it should be him, her husband, helping out!
No need for an outsider to interfere!
Wu Xirui ignored Zhan Qipei and simply looked at Qiao Jing, saying, "The last ti the Sun Sisters ca to cause trouble, I was the one who dealt with it. I’m very willing to continue serving you."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Qipei pressed his thin lips together, maintaining silence for a mont.
During this period, Wu Xirui had been by Qiao Jing’s side, indeed helping her solve so troubles.
On the contrary, he, as the husband, was quite incompetent—slow and obstinate.
She had already appeared in front of him, yet he didn’t recognize her at the first glance. Moreover, his grandfather always insisted that she was Qiao Jing, but not only did he not believe it, he even suspected that his grandfather was losing his mind.
In retrospect, if he had listened to his grandfather, perhaps he and Qiao Jing would have reunited long ago...
As he thought of this, a hint of regret appeared in Zhan Qipei’s eyes.
anwhile, he also beca determined to make up for the years he hadn’t been by Qiao Jing’s side.
"We’re husband and wife; it’s more appropriate and legitimate for to handle this."
As he said this, Zhan Qipei deeply looked at Qiao Jing, his eyes full of resolve.
Qiao Jing glanced at Zhan Qipei, then looked at Wu Xirui, and slowly said, "No need, neither of you needs to take care of this matter."
"No need?"
Wu Xirui furrowed his brows, gazing at Qiao Jing with a bit of confusion, "From what I know about you, you’re not one to play the saint!"
Zhan Qipei, however, said nothing, rely watching Qiao Jing, waiting for her to continue.
Under the gazes of both n, Qiao Jing raised her delicate eyebrows slightly and spoke leisurely, "The Sun sisters probably assud I was uglier before, that’s why they did this, hoping to make embarrassed publicly, but it backfired instead."
"In fact, if they hadn’t done this, I wouldn’t have accidentally discovered my true identity."
At this point, Qiao Jing paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Of course, when I say no need, it’s not out of gratitude towards them, nor is it because I’m saintly, but because I feel there’s no need to waste ti on such clowns."
"With that ti, I’d rather work on vegetables and fruits at the research institute or help treat patients at Wonderful Hall. Spending these precious monts on irrelevant people is just too worthless."
Having said this, Zhan Qipei and Wu Xirui naturally had no objections.
"Alright, you two can go do whatever you need to do. I should also head to the research institute."
With these words, Qiao Jing stood up, preparing to leave.
"I’ll take you!"
"I’ll take you!"
Zhan Qipei and Wu Xirui almost simultaneously spoke up.
After speaking, the two started another round of eye contact showdown.
Seeing the two of them like this, Qiao Jing suddenly felt a bit of a headache.
She rubbed her temples and resolutely refused, "No need, I’ll go on my own."
Having said that, without waiting for Zhan Qipei and Wu Xirui to respond, she turned around and walked away briskly.
She had a hunch that if she didn’t leave quickly, Zhan Qipei and Wu Xirui would end up quarreling like they did during the al just now!
After leaving, Qiao Jing took a deep breath, flagged down a taxi at the roadside, and headed to the research institute.
Upon reaching the institute, as soon as she got off, the two security guards at the entrance stood erect, saluting her with respect.
"Hello, Professor Qiao!"
"Hello, Professor Qiao!"
After respectfully greeting, the two guards lowered their heads sowhat guiltily.
The news about the inconspicuous third young miss of the Qiao Family in Nandu, who was actually the missing young mistress of the Zhan Family, Qiao Jing, had spread like wildfire since yesterday.
So, the two guards couldn’t help feeling guilty when they thought of how they once regarded Professor Qiao as an ill-intentioned individual, suspecting her of trying to sneak into the institute.
Though their suspicions at the ti were from a diligent standpoint, because the person was Professor Qiao, they still felt sowhat apologetic.
Qiao Jing just nodded towards the guards as usual, then stepped into the institute.
She knew that the change in their attitude was due to her status as Professor Qiao.
But she still couldn’t rember past events. After her mory loss, she returned to the institute as an ordinary employee, keeping regular office hours.
Therefore, she indeed felt a bit unaccustod to their sudden respectful deanor towards her.
Watching Qiao Jing enter the research institute, the two guards exchanged glances and simultaneously let out a deep sigh of relief.
