“That girl is kind-hearted. Even if she’s a little angry, she won’t take it to heart.” Old Madam Xu sighed softly and suddenly changed the topic. “This is also why 1 have to find her husband who can protect her.”

“I know what you mean.”

Old Madam Xu nodded, a hint of admiration in her eyes. “Lil Qi, you’re a good child too. You’re kind-hearted, responsible, and have good values. But a man can’t be too indecisive. If the situation is not right, you have to be decisive and end things cleanly, understand?”

Qi Shenbai was stunned for a moment before nodding slowly. “1 understand.”

“Nothing in this world is perfect. Many things in a person’s life are predestined. It’s not something that can be changed by just one person’s strength.” She reminded him earnestly.

This time, Qi Shenbai did not reply. His deep eyes gradually darkened.

“Go look for Jiaojiao. She’ll be anxious if she doesn’t see you again.” Old Madam Xu waved her hand, indicating for him to leave.

“Grandma, I’ll visit you another day.” Qi Shenbai bowed slightly and turned to leave the room.

Xu Jiaojiao had already changed into her pink home clothes and was standing at the door. When she saw him come out, she heaved a sigh of relief and asked anxiously, “Grandma didn’t scold you, did she?”

Qi Shenbai shook his head.

“That’s good.” Xu Jiaojiao’s small face was full of smiles. “Grandma loves me the most, so I’m sure she won’t make things difficult for you.”

The corners of Qi Shenbai’s lips curled up. “Yes, it’s all thanks to you.”

The new year passed in the blink of an eye. The night before school started, Su Luo called Xu Jiaojiao out and asked her to go to a bar to have fun.

It was still the usual place, Lin Feng’s bar.

This time, Xu Jiaojiao specially brought her identity card to the bar.

Perhaps it was because the young people were all bored at home during the holidays, but as soon as the bar opened, many customers flooded in.

As usual, Xu Jiaojiao used her connections to get the best seat in the house.

Recalling her previous mistake, she did not dare to drink anymore. Just as she was about to call for a glass of plain water, the waiter brought her a glass of orange juice.

“Um, 1 didn’t order this.”

The waiter smiled. “This is a gift from our boss, Mrs. Qi.”

The words ‘Mrs. Qi’ successfully made Xu Jiaojiao blush again. “But I thought you didn’t serve juice here.”

“We didn’t before before.” The waiter pointed at the bar counter. “Our boss specially instructed us to buy a fresh juicer.”

H H

Why did she suddenly feel that the juicer had her name written on it?

Su Luo teased her from the side. “Oh my, you’ve gotten really famous over the year-end holidays, Mrs. Qi.”

Xu Jiaojiao blushed. “Luoluo! Don’t make fun of me! This bar is owned by Qi Shenbai’s friend. We came here for a while on New Year’s Eve.”

“Alright, 1 know that you’ve successfully infiltrated the enemy’s ranks now, you lovestruck little kid.” Back when Qi Shenbai had given her a red packet for the new year, Xu Jiaojiao had taken a photo and posted it on her WeChat Moments. Su Luo was the first to see it.

Xu Jiaojiao did not reply, but the smile in her eyes was filled with the sweetness of a young girl in love.

The two of them chatted for a while, then listened to the bar’s resident singer sing and watched the people on the dance floor dance.

Suddenly, two people stood in front of them and said matter-of-factly, “Who said there’s no room? Isn’t this seat for four? We can just share a table.”

“But…” The waiter looked troubled. Before he could finish speaking, Su Luo stood up first.

“Lu Huan, looks like all the new year went to your waist and not to your head. We never agreed to share a table with you! Did you ask for our opinion?”

Xu Jiaojiao did not expect to bump into Lu Huan in a bar. Beside Lu Huan stood a woman with long, curly black hair, exquisite makeup, and simple but exquisite accessories.

However, her beautiful eyes were fixed on Xu Jiaojiao. There was not the slightest bit of friendliness in her eyes.

Xu Jiaojiao quickly searched her memories. She was sure that she had never met this woman before. Perhaps the woman was on Lu Huan’s side, so she did not like her.

Lu Huan blocked the woman from their line of sight and sneered. “You should be honored that I don’t mind sharing a table with the likes of you!”

After saying that, she took out a stack of cash from her handbag and slapped it on the table. “Then I’m buying this table for the night. How about that?”

“What a joke.” Su Luo sat down again, looking up at Lu Huan with just as much ferocity as before. “Do you think you’re in a furniture store? You can’t just buy the table! All your money can’t buy an ounce of class.”

“You little…!”

Lu Huan wanted to say something, but the woman beside her grabbed her arm. “Huanhuan, forget it..”
