Chapter 127: Chapter 127: A Small Project, Not Taken Seriously
“Do you want to bet with me?” Lu Ting asked her, full of confidence.
“Gambling is illegal.” Qiao Yun disagreed.
Lu Ting choked up and continued, “Anyway, I won’t lose to you this time.”
“Oh.” Qiao Yun nodded, “Good luck.”
Lu Ting’s expression froze on her face.
It was the same again!
Always acting so indifferent, but the things she did behind the scenes were completely contradictory to her attitude.
Such a good actress!
Lu Ting didn’t want to talk to Qiao Yun anymore.
She returned to her seat and stopped in front of Jiang Huai, apologizing, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have made you cover for me. Can you forgive me?”
Jiang Huai, instead of feeling alleviated by the apology, felt more self-reproach, quickly saying, “Oh, it’s my fault actually. My big mouth caused all the trouble. It has nothing to do with you.”
“The person who should say sorry is me. I didn’t conceal the matter well, and my cousin found out, which is how he ended up telling your brother.”
He thought Lu Ting wouldn’t bother with him anymore, but he didn’t expect her to apologize.
Such a kind Tingting, and yet, not only could he not lend a hand, he made things worse.
But he was no match for Yu Jin… this cousin had already betrayed him, siding completely with Qiao Yun.
And now he didn’t dare provoke Qiao Yun at all. Just seeing her made him rethink a thousand times. It was too scary!
“Do you accept my apology?”
Lu Ting didn’t want to deal with Jiang Huai, but thinking of Lu Jingzhi ordering her to personally apologize to the Jiang Family, she would rather swallow her pride and apologize directly to Jiang Huai’s face.
It was better than losing face by making a house call.
Jiang Huai shook his head, “No no, you’re not wrong, I am.”
Yu Jin had told him that Lu Ting was just using him, but when she apologized, he already regarded Yu Jin’s words as nonsense.
Lu Ting’s lips curved up slightly as she sat back down and took out her books to start studying.
She took this opportunity very seriously; if she could outdo Qiao Yun and join the group, she could earn her parents’ admiration.
She wanted to prove to her family that she was the most impressive one, not Qiao Yun.
Qiao Yun couldn’t understand Lu Ting’s thoughts, but she didn’t care about rankings anyway.
After Lu Ting left, Qiao Yun’s smooth fingertips touched her phone, but in the end, she didn’t open that file.

Qiao Yun noticed that the Lu Family’s parents’ concern for her had increased.
It wasn’t an obvious concern, but the astute Qiao Yun still noticed it.
They would say goodnight to her every day, occasionally inquire about her studies, and even during meals, if there was a dish they served her a little more of, that dish would appear very frequently.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Yun didn’t feel happy, but rather troubled!
Because she couldn’t reciprocate their level of concern.
As a result, Qiao Yun’s mood lately wasn’t very cheerful.
When Pei Yao called her, he sensed something was off and bluntly asked, “Boss, are you facing some kind of trouble?”
Qiao Yun softly said, “Yes, I’m thinking of a solution.”
Pei Yao sounded an acknowledging “oh” and didn’t pursue the issue. He was afraid the next second Professor Qiao would ask him how to solve a problem.
An absolute nightmare!
“Are you coming to the corporation this weekend?”
Pei Yao was always looking for an opportunity to ‘lure’ Qiao Yun to work at the corporation.
Qiao Yun said, “No, I’m going to Starlight Amusement Park.”
“Huh? Have you finally decided to be young again??” Pei Yao was startled.
Qiao Yun made a face; she wasn’t old.
“The amusement park I built for you, you’re finally giving it some proper attention.”
Qiao Yun’s tone was indifferent, “Oh, another Shengqiao asset.”
“You didn’t know?”
Qiao Yun honestly replied, “Small project, I wasn’t paying attention.”
Pei Yao: “…”
Wait a minute…
A multi-billion dollar amusement park, just a small project???
