Xu Hongzu approached, cast a deep glance at the Jin family’s mother and daughter, and said sternly, "Your Jin family really has quite a temper, trying to control everything under the sun, sea, and land, now even controlling the staff at our research institute!"
At these words, Mother Jin and Jin Yufei were montarily stunned.
Both mother and daughter turned their gaze towards Qiao Jing, with sowhat astonished expressions on their faces.
This unattractive and plain woman is actually a staff mber at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute?!
Jin Yufei stared intently at Qiao Jing, her sense of crisis suddenly intensified.
This woman, though ugly, indeed has so capabilities. She was selected by Master Zhou as a potential disciple and also works at Professor Qiao’s Institute. No wonder she can simultaneously be linked to the Zhan Family, Lu Family, and Xu Family, these top elite families!
It seems that this plain woman poses a considerable threat to her!!
The Jin family’s mother and daughter were full of hostility toward Qiao Jing, but due to the presence of Elder Xu, a highly respected elder, they could not do anything even if they were displeased.
"This ti, out of respect for Elder Xu, we won’t hold it against you for now, but you’d better rember what was said earlier, or bear the consequences yourself!"
After saying this, Mother Jin gave Qiao Jing a fierce glare, then pulled her daughter along and left.
After the mother and daughter left, Qiao Jing tugged at her lips and thanked Xu Hongzu, "Elder Xu, thank you for helping out."
Xu Hongzu waved his hand, indicating she didn’t need to be polite, and then said seriously, "People from our research institute cannot be easily bullied. If anything happens in the future, feel free to co to ."
After speaking, Xu Hongzu suddenly thought of sothing and added, "If I’m not around, just find my grandson."
During this period of interaction, he had grown increasingly fond of this girl.
If this girl could really beco his granddaughter-in-law, he would be truly delighted!
Qiao Jing found it hard to agree to Elder Xu’s words, and harder to refuse, so she could only politely smile in response.
The two chatted as they walked back.
After returning to the banquet hall, they parted ways.
Xu Hongzu pondered about checking if his grandson had shown any improvent, because all along, unless it concerned Xiao Jing, his grandson was pretty clueless.
Thinking this way, Xu Hongzu went straight over and pulled Xu Moqian, who was chatting and drinking with so friends, aside.
Xu Moqian frowned slightly, looking sowhat impatient, "Grandpa, why are you dragging over here out of nowhere? Can’t you see I’m busy?!"
Xu Hongzu glared at his grandson, annoyed, and said, "I have serious business to discuss with you."
Upon hearing the term serious business, Xu Moqian asked curiously, "What serious business?"
"Xiao Jing girl got bullied. Just now, that girl from the Jin family and her mother tead up to bully her. That Jin family’s mother and daughter are really aggressive. If I hadn’t happened to witness it, Xiao Jing girl would have definitely suffered a loss!"
Xu Hongzu briefly narrated what had just happened.
Upon hearing it, Xu Moqian’s fiery temper flared up instantly.
"Grandpa, are you talking about that Jin Yufei from the Jin family? Dare to bully my friend, first ask if I, Xu Moqian, agree!"
Having said this, without waiting for Xu Hongzu’s response, Xu Moqian turned around angrily and went straight to find Jin Yufei.
Seeing his grandson’s reaction, Xu Hongzu was very surprised, but also very pleased.
His grandson finally showed so progress!
This also ant there was hope between his grandson and Xiao Jing girl!
Xu Moqian stord around the banquet hall and quickly found Jin Yufei.
Looking at Xu Moqian, who suddenly approached her, Jin Yufei was utterly bewildered.
She had no dealings with Xu Moqian, so why was he looking for her?
Just as Jin Yufei was about to ask, Xu Moqian preemptively spoke.
Staring at Jin Yufei, he directly warned, "Let tell you, the third young miss of the Qiao family, Qiao Jing, is my friend, soone under my protection. If you dare bully her or cause her trouble again, you are openly going against , Xu Moqian!"
"I never hit won, but if you dare do anything to her, and I find out, I guarantee you won’t even be recognized by your own mother!"
Saying these words, Xu Moqian was full of roguish charm, his language blatantly threatening.
Jin Yufei was utterly baffled, never expecting Xu Moqian to specifically warn her for the sake of that Qiao Jing!
At this mont, Qiao Jing stood a few steps away, behind a Roman column.
Seeing Xu Moqian angrily searching the hall for Jin Yufei earlier, she felt it was strange and followed.
Unexpectedly, Xu Moqian sought out Jin Yufei to stand up for her.
After listening to Xu Moqian’s words, Qiao Jing felt quite touched.
At the sa ti, it reinforced her resolve to beco stronger.
After all, she couldn’t always rely on others for protection...
After warning Jin Yufei, Xu Moqian snorted coldly and walked away.
Jin Yufei stomped her foot in anger, standing there, her hostility towards Qiao Jing deepened even further.
This fickle and shaless ugly woman had the audacity to compete with her for Zhan Qipei and incited Xu Moqian to intimidate her—how utterly detestable!
Just wait, she won’t let this slide so easily!
Seeing Xu Moqian leave, Qiao Jing stepped out from behind the Roman column and followed him.
Once she caught up with Xu Moqian, she sincerely said, "Thank you."
Faced with her sudden gratitude, Xu Moqian was montarily taken aback, then realized, "You heard what I said to Jin Yufei just now?"
Qiao Jing nodded, "I saw and heard everything."
Xu Moqian, not knowing why, suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
He raised a hand to scratch the back of his head, grinning foolishly, "Actually, you don’t have to mind it. That’s just my nature, always having my friends’ backs—it’s only right!"
Qiao Jing remained silent for a mont before speaking, "Actually, I owe you a al. Are you free this weekend?"
"Of course, I’m free whenever you are!"
Xu Moqian blurted out, then added sheepishly, "You know, I’m pretty much like an unemployed drifter, not of much help at the family company."
Not far away, Lu Zijiao saw the two chatting animatedly and couldn’t help worrying for his brother.
He pulled Lu Zijin over, pointing in the direction of Qiao Jing and Xu Moqian, and spoke urgently, "Bro, look, that kid Xu Moqian obviously plans to steal her away. Aren’t you going to take action?"
Lu Zijin followed his brother’s gaze, indeed noticing how well the two seed to be getting along and couldn’t help but purse his lips.
However, he felt a little embarrassed just to go over and intervene like that.
Seeing his brother unwilling to make a move, Zijiao was instantly angry at the lack of initiative.
"Bro, how many tis do I have to tell you? Look at how persistent Xu Moqian is, just about ready to make a move. Haven’t you heard the saying that ’a determined suitor always wins’? What girl can resist such passionate pursuit?"
"Besides, the Xu family’s background isn’t any worse than our Lu family’s, and in terms of looks and physique, you’re evenly matched with him. If you’re still not proactive, you’ll regret it if Xu Moqian wins her over!"
