Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hearing these words, a look of disdain clearly surfaced in Qiao Jing’s eyes.

“Lou Xinrou, I really despise you! To think you’d cast aside all your pride and cultivation for a man, turning into a shrew who spews nothing but vile words.”

“What did you say?” Lou Xinrou looked at Qiao Jing, her anger born of embarrassment.

“Isn’t it true?” Qiao Jing’s voice was weary, “Your grandfather is the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, your second uncle is the head of the research institute, and has made significant contributions to it. As for you, a scion of the Lou Family, all you know is to be jealous and spiteful! Is your existence’s value just to be a man’s good wife and bear his children?! Can’t you, like your second uncle, your grandfather, harness your true worth, become a talent to be utilized?!”

Qiao Jing’s words were articulate and forceful.

Lou Xinrou’s mouth hung open wide, unsure of what to say.

“I, you, how dare you, a mere cleaner, lecture me?”

“You look down on cleaning staff? Without their dedication, would our city be this clean? What’s wrong with their line of work? They too are creating value through their own hands. And you, Lou Xinrou, your comfortable life is only due to being born into better circumstances than them, what does it have to do with your own efforts? In my eyes, you’re not even as good as the cleaning staff!”

Though Qiao Jing’s words were grating to Lou Xinrou’s ears, they were indeed logical and even strangely familiar.

Her family was a scholarly one, and many grand principles had been imparted to her from a young age by her grandfather and her elders.

The tone of speech was identical to Qiao Jing’s.

Thinking of this, Lou Xinrou suddenly felt diminished.

“Think it over for yourself.” With that, Qiao Jing made to close the door.

“Wait a second.” Lou Xinrou blocked the door, “You and Brother Pei, is there really nothing between you guys?”

Qiao Jing frowned, evidently running out of patience.

“You need to understand two things, first, why do you like Zhan Qipei? It can’t just be because of his family background or his looks. It’s his excellence that attracts you. Likewise, excellent people attract other excellent individuals. If you want Zhan Qipei’s attention, then you need to be sufficiently excellent. To attract him as he attracted you.”

Such sound logic!

Lou Xinrou savored Qiao Jing’s words in her heart. She had only tried to attract Zhan Qipei with her appearance and dress. Now, considering if Zhan Qipei was truly attracted to her for such superficial reasons, wouldn’t that make him shallow?

No wonder Zhan Qipei didn’t like her.

“And the second thing,” Qiao Jing’s demeanor suddenly turned cold, “whether I have anything to do with him or not is none of your business and there’s no need for me to report to you!”

After finishing, Qiao Jing didn’t give Lou Xinrou the chance to bother her any further and closed the door directly.

Lou Xinrou stared at the tightly shut door; she was so close that it almost hit her nose.

Frustrating!

But what Qiao Jing said really made sense.

She had decided, she would take the graduate school entrance exam! Pursue a PhD!

She studied medicine at university with the initial aim of helping Zhan Qipei treat infertility, but because it was too tough, she hadn’t persisted.

This time, she would study hard, striving to achieve in the field and become someone excellent, thereby attracting Zhan Qipei’s gaze.

…

Three days later.

Zhan Qipei was sitting on the sofa, answering a call from Tang Yan.

“Not a single clue?”

“Boss, I’ve investigated everything I could. I even asked Lu Shao and he hasn’t found anything either,” Tang Yan said, and the more he spoke, the worse Zhan Qipei’s headache got.

“Boss, actually… I’ve been meaning to ask…” Tang Yan hesitated.

“Speak.”

“Did you drink too much? Have a hallucination?” Tang Yan had wanted to ask this for a while.

“If I had a hallucination, would my pants disappear?!” Zhan Qipei’s words had barely left his mouth when Qiao Jing walked out of the room.
