Chapter 443: Chapter 432 My Baby is Qiao Jing Chapter 443: Chapter 432 My Baby is Qiao Jing Qiao Jing unhesitatingly refused Yu Yangqi, her expression indifferent as she said:
“I said I won’t help.”
Not only did she have to manage the research institute now, but there was also Wonderful Hall on her plate, and if she had to take on Zhouhuan Restaurant as well, she definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it all.
Besides, she didn’t want to create more work for herself.
Yu Yangqi’s face fell instantly, but he persisted in badgering Qiao Jing.
“Boss, please just help me out, do you really have the heart to see me end up alone?”
Qiao Jing curtly spit out two words.
Zhan Nanqing watched Yu Yangqi’s relentless pestering, hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“Um… Qiao Jing, maybe you could help him?”
If this kept up, it would never end, and Yu Yangqi was practically on the verge of grabbing Qiao Jing by the hand to ask for her help.
If it weren’t for the fact that she wasn’t particularly close to Ni Yue, she would’ve already directly helped Yu Yangqi herself.
Just to stop Yu Yangqi from bothering her sister-in-law!
Although she had already dismissed the alarm in her heart, seeing Yu Yangqi and Qiao Jing standing so close still seemed inappropriate to her.
It was for this reason that she spoke out in Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
Su Manhan frowned as she watched Yu Yangqi’s antics.
She knew Yu Yangqi wasn’t interested in Qiao Jing, but she had to eliminate any unforeseen possibilities for her son.
After all, she had only this one precious daughter-in-law, and since Qipei was still pursuing Qiao Jing and the raw rice hadn’t yet become cooked, it was best to keep the number of other sex around Qiao Jing to a minimum, leaving all opportunities to her son.
In this regard, Zhan Nanqing and Su Manhan were of the same mind.
Upon hearing the two of them, Qiao Jing slightly knitted her brows and glanced at Yu Yangqi.
Then she met Yu Yangqi’s shining eyes—like ten thousand volts, they were piercingly bright, almost making her blurt out an agreement right then and there.
But if she really agreed, she had no good way to explain it to Ni Yue.
Speaking of which, this second brother wasn’t just stubborn; having been rebuffed once before, he was unexpectedly not giving up this time either.
Yu Yangqi, hearing someone speak on his behalf, immediately seized the opportunity and started to play the victim again.
“Boss, I promise this is the last time. You just arrange for her to meet me, just like the last time. It won’t involve you at all, I’ll make it seem like a coincidence, I won’t betray you!
Boss—you really have the heart to let me end up alone? You know me, aren’t you confident in me yet? If Ni Yue were to end up with another man that you don’t know, wouldn’t you have to screen him?
If she’s with me, you won’t have to do any screening at all, how easy would that be!”
Qiao Jing contemplated for a moment, then slightly arched her eyebrows.
If she had to help, it wasn’t impossible; last time, Ni Yue was so busy complaining to her about the second brother that she didn’t even mention Qiao Jing not showing up.
If this was really the last time, Ni Yue probably wouldn’t link the two incidents together, likely focusing her attention on complaining about the second brother again.
But she wouldn’t help with this kind of thing a third time; she was agreeing only for the second brother’s sake.
And there was one thing—the second brother struck a chord with her. If Ni Yue really ended up with some man she didn’t know at all, she would indeed feel compelled to intervene.
So the last sentence the second brother said was right too—if Ni Yue was with the second brother, she wouldn’t have to bother with screening anyone.
She just never expected that one day she would become a Matchmaker, helping to tie the knot for someone else.
And this knot was one-sided; Ni Yue would probably cut it straight away…
Seeing Qiao Jing finally ready to help him, Yu Yangqi quickly nodded, his tone sincere.
“That’s right, the last time! Boss, you can rest easy, I’ll definitely make an effort to get her to agree!”
It was then Qiao Jing agreed.
“Okay, you pick the time and send it to me.”
She looked over at Su Manhan and Zhan Nanqing, who had finished their meal, and stood up.
“I’m heading back first, after this it all depends on your fate. Don’t ask me for help again after today.”
If she ended up doing this three times in a row, Ni Yue would definitely suspect that she was involved in setting things up.
If that happened, it would be hard for her to ask Ni Yue to hang out in the future.
Yu Yangqi nodded, looking at Qiao Jing as if she were a savior.
“Boss, you’re my god!!”
Qiao Jing rolled her eyes speechlessly and ignored Yu Yangqi, turning to look at the other two.
“Anything else to order? If not, shall we head back? I’ve got to go back to work soon.”
After finishing work, she still had to plan where to take the two kiddos for the weekend.
She had already promised to bring Pingping and Anan over to play this weekend and intended to make preparations in advance.
Su Manhan and Zhan Nanqing shook their heads at the same time, picked up their bags, and stood up.
Zhan Nanqing could conveniently commute to work with Qiao Jing as she had taken two hours off just to have congee at Zhouhuan Restaurant.
She had thought the queue would be long and had to apply for leave in advance.
Unexpectedly, because of Qiao Jing, she now had plenty of time to go back to work after breakfast.
Yu Yangqi also stood up and, with a beaming face, saw Qiao Jing and the others off all the way to the shop’s entrance.
“Boss, please don’t forget, my happiness is all in your hands now.”
Qiao Jing became even more speechless and walked forward without looking back.
Zhan Nanqing heard Yu Yangqi’s words and turned around to have a look, but she found that Yu Yangqi had disappeared.
She was stunned and rubbed her eyes.
“How come he’s gone?”
Just a second ago he was talking, and the next he disappeared at the shop entrance?
Could it be that Yu Yangqi knows how to teleport?
This Yu Yangqi and Qiao Jing were truly a match: both mysterious, as if they were afraid someone would find out their identities.
Neither would show their full selves.
If she had an impressive identity, she would want everyone to know about it, so why did Qiao Jing and Yu Yangqi prefer to keep things hidden?
Is this what they call keeping a low profile?
Su Manhan looked at Zhan Nanqing with confusion and asked,
“What disappeared? Did you lose something?”
Noticing that Zhan Nanqing had that dazed look again, she couldn’t help but make a snide remark.
“It’s not your belongings that you’ve lost, you’ve lost your intellect today.”
Zhan Nanqing snapped back to reality immediately, catching Su Manhan’s words and indignant, she began to retort.
“Mom! How can you be ? How can you talk about your precious daughter that way? Have your feelings grown cold?”
Su Manhan pretended to be indifferent and looked up at the sky.
“If you feel it’s grown cold, you can add some salt. You used to be my treasure, but not anymore, I have a new treasure now.”
Zhan Nanqing was quite upset by the first part of the statement and nearly passed out in shock.
But upon hearing the second half, her curiosity was instantly piqued, mixed with disbelief.
“New treasure? Did you set your sights on some new jewelry?”
Her mom would treat any jewelry she liked like a treasure, wouldn’t let anyone touch it, liked wearing it everywhere, a bit like showing off.
Is she about to be replaced by new jewelry??
While Zhan Nanqing thought this, Su Manhan’s gaze deliberately fell on Qiao Jing, and she tilted her chin towards her direction.
“Look, my new treasure is right there.”
In her heart, Qiao Jing’s status had actually caught up with Nanqing’s, she was like her second daughter.
