BXBX NOVEL Chapter 160 - 160: Wait A Minute
If she did not admit that she was mistaken, she would just give herself away.
“Who is this woman? Why do I feel like she’s targeting Jiaojiao?” Qi Yunduo asked with a frown.
Su Luo harrumphed coldly. “There’s no ‘feel like’ about it. She is targeting Jiaojiao, plain and simple. She’s Jiaojiao’s ex’s unrequited love. The last time we hung out at the bar, she even picked a fight with Jiaojiao.”
“An unrequited love? She doesn’t look that impressive! Besides, Jiaojiao is already with my brother. Why is she looking for trouble? She’s so annoying!” Qi Yunduo muttered.
When Su Lu saw that Xu Jiaojiao’s sister-in-law was worried about her, she grinned with relief.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the judging panel looked at Bai Mengyao disdainfully. “Ms. Bai, 1 heard you went overseas to further your studies. Are the schools overseas not up to standard? Or is it just you?”
The rest of the crowd had also burst into whispers. Some were mocking her, others were disdainful, and some were looking down on her…
Bai Mengyao’s face turned red then white. In the end, she could not stay on the stage anymore. She returned to her seat with her head hanging low, practically running from the stage.
“Next, let’s welcome the CEO of the Qi Group, Mr. Qi Shenbai, to present the award to the winner,” the chairman of the jury suddenly said into the microphone.
■Huh?’
Xu Jiaojiao gasped. Why was he here? Didn’t he have work? Wasn’t this too much of a surprise? She had been a little disappointed, too!
“Haha! 1 knew my brother would definitely come. Look, he’s really here,” Qi Yunduo said excitedly. Her chatter was so noisy that Su Luo covered her ears.
Su Luo finally understood how Xu Jiaojiao felt every time she called.
Still, Qi Shenbai really pulled out all the stops this time!
On stage, Qi Shenbai took the trophy from the hostess. Then, he walked over to
Xu Jiaojiao and handed her the trophy. “Congratulations, Ms. Xu.”
Xu Jiaojiao stood rooted to the ground, not sure what to do. Qi Shenbai pretended not to know her, but her heart was about to jump into her throat. “Jiaojiao, take the trophy!” Su Luo hurriedly reminded her when she saw Xu Jiaojiao standing there in a daze.
Only then did Xu Jiaojiao come back to her senses. She took the trophy and whispered to Qi Shenbai, “Why are you here?”
“My little girl won the contest. Of course 1 have to be here and witness this important moment,” Qi Shenbai said in a low voice.
Just like that, the two of them flirted on stage.
The chairman of the jury said, “Now, let us have a group picture between Mr. Qi Shenbai and the award-winning contestants.”
“Huh? Our CEO doesn’t take pic…” Before Pei Yan could finish speaking, Qi Shenbai placed one hand on Xu Jiaojiao’s shoulder and took a group photo with all the winners.
The president was always making exceptions for his wife!
Fine! Pei Yan just made up his mind to tell everyone not to disseminate the photos later.
“True love! That’s true love. Did you know? My brother never takes group photos, but he made an exception for Jiaojiao. I’m so touched…”
Qi Yunduo put her palms together in front of her chest like an excited fangirl.
Su Lu was about to explode from the blinding PDAs. “I’m going blind! I need shades.”
The two single girls looked at each other and smiled.
Qi Shenbai left the stage after giving out the award, while Xu Jiao jiao was still being interviewed on stage.
Lu Zhuo, who was watching from the window, could not help but grit his teeth.
It was actually him! That man was Qi Shenbai, the CEO of the Qi Group and the head of the Qi family.
Lu Zhuo had seen Qi Shenbai and Xu Jiaojiao looked at each other on stage. He could not miss Xu Jiaojiao’s unconcealable joy, either.
Those scenes were like needles pricking his heart.
Why did it have to be him?! He was the CEO of the Qi Group. Lu Zhuo could never compare to him!
Lu Zhuo should have been the VIP invited onstage for the award ceremony, but half an hour ago, he suddenly received a notice that the organizing committee had invited someone else.
Initially, Lu Zhuo had thought that Xu Jiaojiao would not win the contest, so it did not matter who gave out the awards. However, contrary to his expectations…
After the award ceremony, there was a celebratory feast. All the contestants and their families could attend. During this period, Xu Jiaojiao called Mr. Sun to report the good news.
Mr. Sun was overjoyed when he heard this. He even reminded Xu Jiaojiao not to rest on her laurels.
After hanging up, Xu Jiaojiao handed the trophy to Su Luo and Qi Yunduo while she went to the bathroom.
On her way there, she met Bai Mengyao, but she had no intention of talking to her. Not only was Bai Mengyao constantly targeting her her, she had even ganged up with Lu Huan to bully her last time. She was very annoying.
Bai Mengyao stopped her. “Wait a minute..”
