Chapter 370: Chapter 359: The Whole World Thinks Qiao Jing Got Divorced
The man’s movements were somewhat clumsy, but each one contained his sincerity.
Qiao Jing did not reject Zhan Qipei’s kindness and drank the warm milk.
The next day, Qiao Jing went to work at the institute.
As she passed Xu Hongzu’s lab, she saw Xu Moqian was also inside.
Qiao Jing did not stop, withdrew her gaze, and returned to her workstation.
Inside Xu Hongzu’s lab.
“Xiao Jing finally divorced that kid Zhan Qipei, you little rascal, you’d better seize this opportunity well and not let someone else snatch it away,”
Xu Moqian confidently nodded and agreed.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. Without Zhan Qipei, there will definitely be no problem this time,”
Xu Hongzu’s eyes shone brightly as he looked toward Qiao Jing’s office, urging Xu Moqian.
“Xiao Jing should have come to work by now, you go over there. Don’t disturb her while she’s working, and find some excuse to take her to lunch at noon, understand?”
Finally, his grandson had a chance; he wanted Xiao Jing to be his granddaughter-in-law.
Xu Moqian patted his chest confidently and spoke.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa, I understand all this. I’m leaving now,”
He waved at Xu Hongzu and hurried to Qiao Jing’s lab.
Qiao Jing was already working, and Xu Moqian, knowing better, did not disturb her, instead beginning to search online for a good restaurant to go to at noon.
Another person walked into the lab.
Zhan Nanqing’s face was filled with joy, her chin even slightly lifted, as if she had some great news.
Xu Moqian was curious, what could possibly make Zhan Nanqing so happy?
Sister Jing had just divorced Zhan Qipei yesterday, and today Zhan Nanqing was actually this happy?
Wasn’t she against Sister Jing divorcing Zhan Qipei?
Unable to contain his curiosity, Xu Moqian didn’t wait for Zhan Nanqing to walk over to where Qiao Jing was working, he stopped her.
He pulled Zhan Nanqing aside and asked in a lowered voice,
“What happened that has made you so happy? Sister Jing got divorced from your brother, and you can still laugh?”
Zhan Nanqing glanced at Xu Moqian, “Hmph,” and couldn’t be bothered to answer his question.
“None of your business, I’m just happy,”
Once Xu Moqian finds out Qiao Jing didn’t get divorced, he’s going to be livid.
But he deserves it; who told him to chase after Qiao Jing every day, trying to steal her from his brother.
Without looking back, she walked over to Qiao Jing and began working.
Xu Moqian “tsked” and muttered a comment toward Zhan Nanqing’s retreating back.
“You don’t like talking, I don’t like listening anyway, what’s there to be smug about… Anyway, Sister Jing and Zhan Qipei are divorced,”
As soon as lunch break arrived, Xu Moqian immediately approached and began to offer his affections to Qiao Jing.
“Sister Jing, shall I treat you to a meal? I heard there’s a particularly upscale restaurant that opened downtown,”
He wanted to make the most of this opportunity, although he knew others liked Sister Jing too, he was the one who could stay closest to her.
After all, he could come to the institute every day; others couldn’t, which was one of his advantages.
Before Qiao Jing could respond, Xu Hongzu also walked in.
“Xiao Jing, aren’t you going to eat after work?”
Qiao Jing suddenly remembered a shop near the institute, stood up, and walked out.
She suddenly felt like eating the food from that shop; it seemed that her tastes had become a bit picky after becoming pregnant.
Zhan Nanqing frowned at the collaboration between the grandfather and grandson.
Were these two really trying to steal her brother’s girl?
When would her brother come? If he didn’t come soon, his wife would be invited out to eat.
Moqian thought Qiao Jing had agreed to go out to dinner with him, looking confidently at Xu Hongzu with a “I knew it” expression on his face.
Xu Hongzu, seeing that the first step was successful, nodded in satisfaction.
The two of them followed Qiao Jing out of the research institute, and Nanqing silently followed behind.
If Qiao Jing was going to have dinner with Xu Moqian, she would be responsible for tipping off her brother.
Just as Qiao Jing reached the entrance, she spotted a familiar car parked in front of the institute.
She paused, and the person in the car had already gotten out.
Zhan Qipei walked straight up to Qiao Jing, not even glancing at anyone else.
“I’m here to take you to dinner.”
Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, Zhan Qipei hadn’t told her this morning that he was coming to pick her up for lunch.
“Are you that idle? Isn’t your company busy?”
She knew the workload at Zhan Corporation, and him coming over would definitely delay a lot of work.
Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes looked at Qiao Jing, revealing tenderness, as his deep voice sounded.
“No matter how busy, I have to have lunch with my wife.”
As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.
Xu Moqian and Xu Hongzu had already felt something strange when they saw Zhan Qipei.
Weren’t they already divorced? Why was he here to pick up Qiao Jing?
Upon hearing Zhan Qipei’s last sentence, the grandfather and grandson were even more dumbfounded.
Xu Moqian thought he had misheard and cleared his ears.
“What? Zhan Qipei, what are you saying? Isn’t Sister Jing already divorced from you? How can you still shamelessly call her your wife?”
Xu Hongzu was also trying to find an opportunity for his grandson, chiming in.
“Zhan Qipei, you’re already divorced, it’s inappropriate to still call Xiao Jing by that title.”
Nanqing, mindful that Xu Hongzu was still there, forced herself to make her voice sound less gloating.
“Who told you that my brother and Qiao Jing are divorced?”
She knew her brother wouldn’t fail at a crucial moment .
Otherwise, how could he pursue Qiao Jing?
Upon hearing Nanqing’s words, Zhan Ruiting, who had just gotten out of another car, was also stunned.
He hurried over to the group, looking confusedly at Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei.
“What? Cousin, you didn’t divorce Qiao Jing?”
He had just thought of taking Qiao Jing out to eat because they had divorced, only to hear Nanqing’s words, leaving him completely flabbergasted.
Xu Hongzu’s brow furrowed as he looked toward Nanqing, his expression growing serious.
“You shouldn’t speak carelessly.”
Qiao Jing glanced at Nanqing, then looked at the others, and began to explain.
“Zhan Qipei and I, indeed, are not divorced.”
She hadn’t planned on keeping it from the people around her, seeing them was an opportunity to explain.
This news was like a bolt out of the blue, leaving everyone else present too surprised to speak.
Zhan Ruiting became anxious and questioned Qiao Jing.
“Why? Weren’t you supposed to divorce by now?”
Upon hearing Zhan Ruiting’s words, Zhan Qipei’s expression turned dark as he gave a cold look.
He was fortunate his wife had changed her mind, otherwise, these covetous people would have had their chance.
Zhan Ruiting, faced with that icy gaze, felt somewhat intimidated, but he was still eager to get an answer, watching Qiao Jing intently.
Nanqing answered the question for Qiao Jing.
“Qiao Jing gave my brother a chance, so they didn’t divorce and are still legally husband and wife.”
She deliberately emphasized the words “not divorced.”
