Chapter 156: Chapter 155: Caring

Qi Yue didn’t know how she made it back to the dorm.

Although there were four in her family, she felt like an outsider.

Fortunately, she had long been accustomed to this atmosphere. Initially, she thought this was the worst it could get, but reality had slapped her across the face…

Her mother actually thought she wanted to steal Qi Zhen’s prospective suitor.

Thinking of her mother’s guarded look just now, her heart was filled with irony, and her entire body felt as if it was soaked in icy snow water.

It wasn’t until she opened the door of the dorm that a trace of warmth emerged in her chilling body.

Song Qiuqiu, who was working on a thesis, immediately looked up at the sound of the door opening and cheerfully exclaimed, “Yue Bao! You’re back!”

Su Xiaotang also popped her head up from the bed, “Xiao Tang and I brought you some crayfish, and they’re still hot!”

Song Qiuqiu: “Your favorite spicy flavor! Definitely tastier than whatever Western food! I bet you didn’t eat well there!”

Qi Yue looked at her two best friends: “Thank you…”

Seeing Qi Yue’s expression, Song Qiuqiu knew something was wrong, “Yue Bao, what’s the matter? What happened?”

Su Xiaotang also looked over worriedly, “It wasn’t really a trap, was it? Did your parents secretly arrange a blind date for you?”

A bitter smile flickered in Qi Yue’s eyes, “No…”

“Then why that look?” Song Qiuqiu immediately pulled Qi Yue to sit down on a chair.

Su Xiaotang also sat down, “So what happened?”

Qi Yue pinched the bridge of her nose, tiredly, “Really, it’s nothing; you don’t need to worry. They didn’t arrange a blind date for me… it’s just that…”

“Just what?” Song Qiuqiu pressed, “You just spill it out! You want to worry us to death or what?”

Qi Yue continued softly, “It’s just that they arranged a blind date for Qi Zhen.”

Song Qiuqiu was somewhat astonished at the news, “Ah? It’s for Qi Zhen! Then why do you look like that… I reckon even if you were dumped eight hundred times, you wouldn’t have that expression…”

Qi Yue was amused by Song Qiuqiu’s words, “Can’t you wish for something good for me?”

Seeing Qi Yue laugh, Song Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief, “Really, look in the mirror if you don’t believe me!”

Qi Yue’s gloomy mood lightened a lot as she spoke slowly, “My mom introduced a highly educated guy with an annual salary of a million to Qi Zhen, he’s from the NT research institute. During dinner, that guy mentioned Gu Huai, and I just chatted with him a bit more…”

Song Qiuqiu, Su Xiaotang: “And then?”

Qi Yue replied helplessly, “Then, after dinner, my mom asked if I fancied that guy and told me not to steal Qi Zhen’s date…”

Hearing this, Song Qiuqiu was stunned, with a look of disbelief on her face: “What the heck? Your mom introduces guys making a monthly wage of five or six thousand to you but sets Qi Zhen up with a highly educated millionaire… Let’s not even talk about that… She actually thinks you would steal the guy…”

Su Xiaotang was also furious, “Damn it! How can they be like this! Your parents are way too biased! If they weren’t your parents, I’d have started cursing already!”

Qi Yue gave a wry smile, “What bothers me isn’t their differential treatment…”

She had always known that, in their hearts, she could never compare with Qi Zhen, and she was used to it.

Song Qiuqiu hugged Qi Yue, “I know, what you care about is that the ones who should be closest to you don’t trust you, they guard against you…”

Unable to hold back, Su Xiaotang blurted out, “That’s just not treating you like family! If they really knew and trusted their daughter, how could they possibly think that of you!”
