Chapter 755: Chapter 754_1 Chapter 755: Chapter 754_1 “I see.” Qiao Lin’s gaze fell on the young man, suddenly feeling a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
The young man’s exquisite profile, with skin as fair and smooth as jade.
“Aunt, Uncle, let’s go in.” Seeing that the Bai Family’s butler had come out, Qiao Xiaren took the lead, without noticing the expression on Qiao Lin’s face.
“Brother, what are you standing around for?” Qiao Lang nudged him, then followed Xiaren and the butler inside.
It was just an adulthood ceremony, but Qiao Xiaren thought the show of pomp was a bit too much.
Anyway, it was just going through the motions. She found a corner and sat down with Yeqian, occasionally clapping along with the crowd.
Not long after, Gu Ming and Pei Ningxuan surprisingly also arrived. As soon as Pei Ningxuan entered, she began to search for Qiao Xiaren, easily finding her figure in the crowd.
Wherever the crowd occasionally looked, Pei Ningxuan probably knew where Xiaren was.
“Oh, even Young Master Gu has come?” Xiaren glanced at the man beside her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, only to hear him sigh helplessly, “I was dragged here by my wife, what could I do?”
Pei Ningxuan pinched him hard, and the two of them started to tease each other affectionately again.
In that moment, their eyes met simultaneously, and they both saw a sense of helplessness from being force-fed the dog food in each other’s eyes.
Not far away, Bai Qiuqing’s brother, Bai Gelin, was walking hand in hand with his wife Nie Lin, proud to see his son transform into an eighteen-year-old young man.
As Bai Gelin prepared to go up and give a speech, his gaze unintentionally swept over Qiao Xiaren. He took several extra glances at the young man next to her, which caught Qiao Xiaren’s attention.
Of course, Yeqian was oblivious. However, Qiao Xiaren keenly noticed the strange gaze. She subtly lifted her head to meet Bai Gelin’s eyes.
They were probing and discerning.
Bai Gelin was startled, feeling intimidated by her aura, and quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look again.
Qiao Xiaren carefully sized up Bai Gelin. With his black-framed glasses, he appeared refined and had a gentle smile.
What was he looking at just now?
While she was pondering, Gu Ming slapped Qiao Xiaren’s shoulder: “What are you thinking about?”
Qiao Xiaren regained her composure and asked: “Is that man, the one wearing black-rimmed glasses, Bai Qiuqing’s brother, Bai Gelin?”
Gu Ming nodded, “You are meeting him for the first time, it’s understandable that you don’t recognize him. more in the future, and you’ll get to know these people.”
Recognition wasn’t an issue for Qiao Xiaren. After all, she had an eidetic memory which applied to recognizing people as well.
Throughout the entire adulthood ceremony, Qiao Xiaren couldn’t remember much, but those few glances from Bai Gelin were imprinted in her mind.
Who was he looking at just now?
Before Qiao Xiaren could think further, the hall again erupted in applause. She joined the crowd in clapping, hoping it could end soon.
Finally, when it was over, she suddenly started to feel sleepy and finally understood how Yeqian felt when she dragged him here.
However, she still had one more thing to do.
“Can you drive yourself home?”
Yeqian shook his head, then emphatically nodded.
“I have something else to do, you go ahead and drive home.” Qiao Xiaren handed him the car keys, watched him drive away, then took out her phone, removed her SIM card, and switched to a new number.
“Qiaoqiao, I’m here.”
Upon hearing System Lord’s voice, Qiao Xiaren finally felt at ease: “Xiaotian, can you get me the voice changer from the space?”
With the voice changer in hand, a corner of her mouth curled into a subtle smile.
The phone call went through quickly, and after a few seconds, Ye Mohan’s voice came through: “Hello?”
“It’s me, Qiao Anchu.” Qiao Xiaren used the voice changer to send over her voice, causing the person on the other end to freeze for a moment.
