Chapter 11: Chapter 10: Spreading Rumors, Saw Qiao Jing and Xu Moqian Holding Hands
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The top figure of the imperial capital’s elite, the eldest son of the Xu family, and the future heir to Xu Corporation.
This identity was already impressive enough, but Xu Moqian had another even more impressive identity. His grandfather was a very famous scientist in the empire, a professor specializing in agricultural development.
His renown was second only to the legendary Professor Qiao!
As the two were utterly shocked, Qiao Jing came to the car, Xu Moqian personally opened the door, and after Qiao Jing got into the car, he considerately closed the door. Finally, he went around to the driver’s seat and drove off like a chauffeur.
It was after the car had driven a good distance that Zhan Nanqing and Lou Xinrou managed to recover from their shock. Realizing what had happened, they exchanged glances, just looking at each other, unable to speak for a long time.
After a considerable wait, Zhan Nanqing thought she had figured it out, and her face immediately showed a look of disdain.
“That Qiao Jing really has no shame, flaunting her good looks everywhere, seducing men. She’s now part of our Zhan Family, and here she is, shamelessly going out with another man. If someone saw them, wouldn’t they be laughed to death?”
In her view, Qiao Jing was seducing Xu Moqian because she was attractive.
Lou Xinrou, however, was pleased. She had secretly taken a photo of the two and decided to send it to Zhan Qipei, letting him know just how shameless his new bride was.
“It’s truly disgusting! Xinrou, I saw you took a photo, send it to me. I want to post it in the family group chat! Let grandpa see what kind of good bride he’s picked for his grandson!”
Hearing Zhan Nanqing say this, Lou Xinrou was even more delighted.
“Okay, I’ll send it to you.”
Soon, the Zhan family’s group chat exploded.
Su Manhan was the first to jump out.
“This girl, I thought she was just bad-tempered, but coming from the countryside, she should be a decent and honest person. I didn’t expect her to do something so disgraceful! It’s only the third day after her wedding, and she’s going out with another man!”
Zhan Nanqing fanned the flames, “Exactly, you should have seen it. Xu Moqian even opened the car door for Qiao Jing, the service was impeccable.”
Zhan Yao, who usually stayed out of these affairs, frowned. He had no significant hostility towards this temporary daughter-in-law like Su Manhan and her daughter, as long as they didn’t fight in front of him.
But now, Qiao Jing’s actions didn’t look too good.
As Zhan Yao thought this, Zhan Yuanshan posted a voice message over a minute long in the chat.
“All of you stop gossiping for no reason! Did any of you actually see them do anything ambiguous? Jing Girl just went out with that Xu boy, so what? Are you saying she’s not allowed to have contact with other men after getting married? You always complain behind my back that I’m old-fashioned and feudal, but I think it’s you who are! What kind of society do we live in? Hmph!”
As soon as the old man said this, the group chat quieted down instantly.
A few seconds later, Su Manhan @Zhan Nanqing, “Did you see them doing anything inappropriate?”
At this moment, Zhan Qipei was lurking in screen.
In fact, he had been watching since Zhan Nanqing posted the photo in the group chat.
Zhan Nanqing pursed her lips, thinking that since only she and Lou Xinrou had seen it, as long as the two of them kept their mouths shut, even if they fabricated lies, no one else would know.
With this thought, Zhan Nanqing boldly immediately composed and sent a message to the group chat.
“I think I saw them holding hands.”
