BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125 - 125: Sister-in-law
Despite being one of the top companies in the country, the Qi Group’s annual party was relatively straightforward and down-to-earth. There were not many twists and turns, but the food was delicious and the leaders were very generous.
Tiantian put her palms together under her chin and made a wish. “Please, God, bless me with the hundred thousand yuan cash prize this year. 1’11 be vegetarian for a year!”
Xu Jiaojiao also silently made a wish in her heart. Her wish was very simple. All she wanted was the drawing tablet. She was just here to join in the fun.
Tiantian noticed the number tag on her wrist and said in surprise, “Jiaojiao, are you joining the lucky draw too?”
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and nodded. “But don’t worry, I don’t want the cash prize. 1 just want a tablet.”
“A tablet? Then why didn’t you just ask Mr. Qi…?” Halfway through her sentence, Tiantian quickly shut up. Still, she could not help but complain inwardly, ‘Mr. Qi is wildly successful, isn’t it? Why is he so stingy with his wife?’
Of course, Xu Jiaojiao could not say that her marriage with Qi Shenbai was fake, so she smiled and replied, “Winning something at a lucky draw is much more exciting than buying it. Don’t you think?”
Tiantian agreed on the surface, but she was roaring inside now. ‘Why is President Qi so stingy?! He has such a cute wife, but he can’t even bear to buy a tablet for her?! If I actually win the cash prize, 1’11 definitely give Mrs. Qi a tablet!!’
After Xu Jiaojiao drank a glass of orange juice, she wanted to go to the bathroom. Tiantian enthusiastically offered to accompany her, but she firmly refused.
As soon as Xu Jiaojiao closed the cubicle door, she heard footsteps and low voices outside.
“Did you see that little girl in the dark purple gown? 1 think that’s Mrs. Qi!”
“No wonder… 1 was wondering why Tiantian was following her around. She sure is in a hurry to cozy up to the empress.”
Xu Jiaojiao, who was in the toilet, was speechless.
It turned out that everything in the television dramas was true. The washroom was indeed the easiest place to hear gossip.
“That young lady looks like she’s not even an adult yet, right? Mr. Qi’s tastes are surprising. Then again, all men in the world are the same. No matter how old they are, they will always only like 18-year-old young girls!”
“Didn’t everyone say that Mr. Qi doesn’t like women? Why does he suddenly have a wife? He even found a brat who’s probably still wearing a training bra!”
Xu Jiaojiao could not help but lower her head to look at her chest. Did they have to resort to body-shaming when trash-talking her? If she squeezed hard enough, she was at least a C.
“Maybe AAr. Qi really doesn’t like women! The girl could just be an excuse.”
“Or maybe she’s just that capable… Women like her look clueless, but sometimes they’re the best at seducing men…”
Before that woman could finish her sentence, the door of a cubicle was suddenly pushed open with a bang, scaring the two ladies outside.
“Why are you two so gossipy?” said a girl’s voice, clear and annoyed. “Since you’re such gossipmongers, 1’11 post your photos in the company’s group chat later. 1 want to show your leaders what their team members are like!”
“You little… This has nothing to do with you! Stay out of our business!”
“And the boss’s private life has nothing to do with you!” The girl retorted without any hesitation. “I just can’t stand people like you who speak ill of others behind their backs, that’s all!”
“You’re crazy!” The two women rolled their eyes at her. They stopped touching up their makeup and left the bathroom in a hurry.
“You’re all bark and no bite, you tongue-wagging hags!”
Xu Jiaojiao carefully pushed open the cubicle door. Through the gap, she saw a girl wearing a denim top, white pants, and a pair of black leather shoes.
The girl turned around. When their eyes met, they were both stunned.
In the next second, the two of them spoke at the same time.
“Sister-in-law?”
“Miss Qi.”
Xu Jiaojiao looked at the energetic Qi Yunduo in front of her and almost could not recognize her. The current her was completely different from what she had seen in the hospital. She was youthful, beautiful, and full of energy.
“You know who 1 am?”
“Of course I know.” Qi Yunduo smiled slyly. “1 heard that my brother got married, but I didn’t expect his bride to be so young. She’s even younger than me.”
Xu Jiaojiao walked out of the cubicle and awkwardly touched her nose as she explained, “1 may look young, but I’m actually already 20 years old.”
“Of course I know that! Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to marry my brother!” Qi Yunduo felt that the girl in front of her was very interesting.
“Then how did you recognize me?” Logically speaking, Qi Yunduo should not have seen her before and did not know what she looked like.
“I saw it on Tiantian’s Moments!” Qi Yunduo waved her phone. “We’re friends on WeChat..”
