Chapter 432: Chapter 421 Qiao Jing’s Pregnancy Discovered
Chapter 432 -421 Qiao Jing’s Pregnancy Discovered
The following morning.
After getting out of bed, Qiao Jing packed the two little ones’ luggage and placed it into two backpacks.
Zhan Qipei was responsible for making breakfast.
When Pingping and Anan woke up, they saw two new backpacks by their sides.
Qiao Jing received the little ones’ puzzled gazes and revealed a faint smile.
“This is my farewell gift to you. Later, Brother Zhan will take you to the orphanage.”
The two little ones nodded sensibly. Despite their reluctance to separate, they just hugged Qiao Jing without delaying her from going to work, and they tried hard not to let the tears in their eyes fall.
After arriving at the institute, Qiao Jing felt somewhat empty.
She hadn’t been apart from Pingping and Anan for even an hour and already felt the emptiness.
If, in the future, the three babies were to step into society and grow up on their own, away from her, wouldn’t she feel even more reluctant to let them go?
At this thought, Qiao Jing’s hand covered her stomach and she gently caressed it, her gaze softening.
Just as Xu Hongzu walked into Qiao Jing’s lab, he saw her touching her stomach.
“Xiao Jing, are you not feeling well?”
Qiao Jing snapped back to reality and lowered her hand.
“No.”
Xu Hongzu waved his hand, mentioning the reason for his visit.
“Xiao Jing, after the academic conference, you left in such a hurry. I didn’t get a chance to find you, and you were already gone.”
Qiao Jing looked at Xu Hongzu with a puzzled expression.
“Was there something you needed me for?”
She had been in a rush to go home to check on Pingping and Anan after the conference and had left hastily, not realizing Xu Hongzu was looking for her.
Xu Hongzu coughed, covering up his embarrassment.
“I was actually planning to hold a celebration for you. It’s not too late to do it now, right? And I’ll bring my good-for-nothing grandson along.”
He was doing this especially to create an opportunity for his disappointing grandson. Of course, he couldn’t show this in front of Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing noticed Xu Hongzu’s fleeting embarrassment and guessed something.
“It’s not too late, but, Grandpa Xu, just don’t try to set me up with your fourth grandson.”
Xu Hongzu paused, then laughed awkwardly.
“You really can’t hide anything from you. I, this old man, am truly defeated by you. It’s also been a long time since I’ve eaten with you. Let’s go, just the two of us, without him. That disappointing kid, bringing him along would only make me angry.”
Qiao Jing nodded and agreed.
In the evening.
Qiao Jing and Xu Hongzu had finished their meal and were preparing to leave the restaurant.
Walking ahead, Xu Hongzu joked.
“Xiao Jing, it’s truly a miracle that the Zhan family’s boy didn’t stick to you and come along today!”
Qiao Jing helplessly shook her head.
“Yeah, I didn’t let him come.”
Xu Hongzu’s old eyes gleamed. He never passed up any chance to promote his grandson.
“Xiao Jing, let me tell you, my grandson won’t cling to you like maltose. Besides, he inherited some of my genes, he’s particularly good to his other half. Won’t you really consider him?
Also, our Xu family will definitely not treat you like the Zhan family did before. When you first arrived at the Zhan family’s home, I heard that the mother and son duo from the Zhan family were particularly harsh on you, causing you quite a bit of distress.”
Qiao Jing’s face revealed a helpless smile once again.
“Grandpa Xu, the fourth young master and I are just friends. Are you so anxious to sell him off because you’re afraid he won’t be able to find a wife?”
Xu Hongzu “hmmphed” and said irritably:
“Don’t even mention it, that stinking kid getting married was a stroke of incredible luck! And these things aren’t the point, the point is I want you to be my granddaughter-in-law.”
Qiao Jing helplessly held her forehead, suddenly feeling a bit of discomfort in her stomach, furrowing her lovely brows.
“Grandpa Xu, I need to use the restroom, you go ahead and leave first.”
Xu Hongzu sighed and grumbled as he walked away.
“My grandson really has no one else wanting him, poor thing, poor thing…”
Qiao Jing was amused by Xu Hongzu, and wondered whether the fourth-born knew what his grandfather said about him.
A few minutes later, Qiao Jing came out of the restroom, and as she prepared to leave, bumped into a group of people.
She withdrew her gaze indifferently, as if she hadn’t seen them, and headed straight for the exit.
She hadn’t gone far when she was called out to.
“Qiao Jing! What are you doing here?!”
Qiao Jing didn’t stop her steps; she definitely wouldn’t waste her time on such people.
Seeing that Qiao Jing refused to acknowledge her, Qiao Mengtong quickly walked a few steps forward and stopped her.
Looking at Qiao Jing’s stunning face and her always high-and-mighty demeanor, she was infuriated.
Putting on airs again!
But today, she had landed a huge deal!
To be able to show off in front of Qiao Jing and let her know how powerful she had become!
“Qiao Jing, you actually ignore me when I call you?”
With a detached expression, Qiao Jing looked at the Qiao family and spoke faintly.
“Respond to you? Do you deserve it?”
Hearing this, Qiao Licheng frowned and took on a senior family member’s attitude, scolding:
“Qiao Jing, is that how you speak to Mengtong?”
Qiao Jing glanced at Qiao Licheng indifferently, lightly lifting her gentle brows, and her cool voice emerged.
“I don’t want to talk to her, it’s just that some people can’t stop barking!”
“You——” Qiao Licheng’s eyes bulged with anger.
Seeing this, Zheng Haijuan immediately reached out to soothe Qiao Licheng, deliberately giving Qiao Jing a look and her tone couldn’t hide the smugness.
“Today is not the day for anger, Mengtong is about to sign a contract with the famous director, Gu Yunchen Director Gu!”
The moment Qiao Mengtong heard Zheng Haijuan’s words, she arrogantly lifted her chin.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
“Hah! Qiao Jing, you’ve certainly heard of Gu Yunchen, Director Gu’s name, haven’t you? Whatever Director Gu shoots becomes a hit, and this time I’ve secured the leading lady role. I’m about to become extremely famous!!”
With her arms crossed, her face was etched with disdain.
“I don’t know what lowly, shameless tactics you used to stay by President Zhan’s side temporarily, but don’t get too pleased with yourself.
It won’t be long before Zhan tires of you. Also, a high-end restaurant like this, did you come on President Zhan’s dime?”
When Qiao Jing heard the name Gu Yunchen, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she furrowed her lovely brows.
After his last movie, the third brother had retreated back to his cave. Now he was making a comeback without even telling her?
Qiao Mengtong, mistaking Qiao Jing’s silence for guilt, snorted coldly.
“Hah! Struck a nerve, haven’t I?”
Qiao Jing didn’t continue her thoughts regarding Gu Yunchen and was about to leave when the big screen TV in the restaurant broadcasted news that made her stop.
“Recently, Professor Qiao’s academic exchange was a complete success. Professor Qiao claimed that the progress was very smooth and anticipated that in the near future, everyone would once again witness Professor Qiao’s success! The screen displayed a photo of Professor Qiao and an audio clip.”
Subsequently, a blurry photo of Qiao Jing’s back appeared on the TV screen, along with an audio clip that had been voice-processed.
