Qiao Xuan pondered for a mont before speaking to He Zhiqing, “Leave the Xie Family within three days, and I’ll pretend that today’s incident never happened. I won’t disclose anything to anyone.”
He Zhiqing stared at Qiao Xuan in disbelief, unable to contain her frustration any longer. “Fifth Mrs. Shao, you’re being excessively nosy!”
Her grand-aunt was Mada Lady Xie, and as a proper cousin of the Xie Family, she had no say when the family decided to send her away. But Qiao Xuan was soone who had no personal stake in the matter.
Qiao Xuan replied, “Exactly. Miss He, consider it my intentional ddling.”
He Zhiqing couldn’t help but exclaim, “What does this have to do with you?!”
“Miss He, let’s just say I have a habit of being nosy.”
He Zhiqing fell silent, her gaze fixed on Qiao Xuan. As a clever individual, she soon realized that Qiao Xuan might have picked up on sothing.
Gradually, the way He Zhiqing looked at Qiao Xuan began to change. Startled by this unexpected developnt, Qiao Xuan regained her composure and t her gaze calmly.
In that mont, their eyes locked, and a silent understanding seed to pass between them.
She knew!
He Zhiqing knew that Qiao Xuan had figured it out!
A magical unspoken connection ford between them…
He Zhiqing’s face turned red, feeling a mix of embarrassnt and relief.
But now that Qiao Xuan was aware, and she didn’t want to lose this person, she might as well confide in her.
“Fifth Madam Shao, help .”
“Yeah?”
Qiao Xuan was genuinely taken aback. She hadn’t anticipated that He Zhiqing would attempt to involve her in her sches so abruptly!
She couldn’t help but find it sowhat admirable. When the ti ca to go all out, this girl showed no hesitation!
“As friends of Eldest Cousin, I can speak candidly to you. I genuinely care for Eldest Cousin. I may not possess the sa background, talent, or looks as him, but I believe we are compatible. If Fifth Madam Shao assists , I will certainly reciprocate in the future and repay your kindness. Fifth Master Shao has made remarkable progress in his career this year and has entered officialdom. He still has a bright future ahead. You have been to the capital before, so you must have witnessed it. The capital is filled with influential individuals, and there are countless low-ranking officials striving to climb the ranks. However, how many of them actually succeed?”
“Without a strong background or connections, it becos even more challenging to ascend to greater heights! If Fifth Madam Shao lends a helping hand today, you won’t lose out…”
Qiao Xuan found herself both amused and annoyed.
Mada Qiao had acted this way in the past, as had the Qiao Family, the Tian Family, and even the cousin standing before her. They all made similar claims in front of her and Shao Yunduan.
They exuded confidence, their words growing more grandiose with each passing mont.
It was as if Shao Yunduan would never be able to achieve greatness on his own.
Qiao Xuan wasn’t so narrow-minded as to believe that one had to rely solely on oneself without any allies or connections, but there was a saying that people on different paths could not work together.
Since their paths diverged, there was nothing more to discuss.
For instance, this cousin exemplified such a case.
“Miss He, you needn’t concern yourself with us. I will pretend that I never heard what you said today. Miss He, rember to leave the Xie Family within three days.”
“This is none of your business! Even if you don’t help, you can’t obstruct like this.”
Qiao Xuan responded calmly, “Because you are not worthy of Mr. Xie.”
