The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 400 - 398

Ning Xiuyuan stopped looking at the red noticeboard in front of him, turned around and left. The two people noticed something was wrong with his mood, exchanged glances, and quickly followed him.

Jiang Yibo was rather careless and didn’t understand why their boss wouldn’t be happy after doing so well in the exam.

Fu Xinjing, however, was as meticulous as ever and clearly understood why Ning Xiuyuan was upset. It was because Gu Shili ranked first in the grade, while Qiao Qiqi was second.

The boss liked Qiao Qiqi and thought he had closed the gap a little between them, but who knew that Gu Shili’s name would be right next to Qiao Qiqi’s.

How could the boss possibly be happy about that?

After the exam results came out, school officially went on vacation. The students came to check their scores today and then headed home if they didn’t have anything else to do.

When Ning Xiuyuan returned to class, Qiao Qiqi was coming out. She hadn’t even looked at the results; she just had to report to school today, so she came.

"Qiao Qiqi, congratulations on ranking second in the grade," Fu Xinjing spoke up, seeing that Ning Xiuyuan hadn’t said anything first.

Jiang Yibo said, "Qiqi, our boss made a huge improvement, he ranked 450th this time and scored over 500 points!"

Qiao Qiqi was somewhat surprised. She always knew Ning Xiuyuan was smart, but she didn’t expect him to improve so quickly, given that he used to score in single digits.

She could imagine how much effort he had put in during this period.

"Since you did so well, I’ll give you a gift. Is there anything you want?" Qiao Qiqi thought his great progress deserved a reward.

When Ning Xiuyuan heard she wanted to give him a gift, his previously sullen mood brightened, and his eyes lit up. "You want to give me a gift?"

"What do you want?"

"I’m not picky, anything you give me is fine," Ning Xiuyuan immediately broke into a silly grin, raising his hand awkwardly to scratch his head.

"How much did you two improve?" Qiao Qiqi knew that Jiang Yibo and Ning Xiuyuan had also been studying hard recently.

"We improved by a hundred places! Now we’re just over a hundred from the bottom!"

The two of them were also very happy about this.

"Then I’ll give you both gifts too, as a reward. Keep up the good work," Qiao Qiqi encouraged them.

"Alright..."

"No need!"

Fu Xinjing quickly covered Jiang Yibo’s mouth, pulling him away while retreating, "We don’t need it, we didn’t improve much! We’ll head off first."

Ning Xiuyuan’s tense body relaxed a little, and he stared gloomily at the girl in front of him. "Do you give gifts to everyone who improves?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Of course not!" Qiao Qiqi wasn’t some sort of spendthrift; she didn’t think money was burning a hole in her pocket either.

"Then I’ll be waiting for your gift," Ning Xiuyuan’s mood finally picked up again.

"Okay, I’ll give it to you in a couple of days."

...

On the second day of the holiday, Qiao Qiqi bought a men’s wristwatch online, intending to gift it to Ning Xiuyuan as a reward for his improvement.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was her mother’s number, but Qiao Yue’er’s anxious voice came through, "Qiqi, come quickly. Mom was in a car accident and is in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment!"

At that moment, Qiao Qiqi felt like her blood had frozen. Her eyes turned extremely cold. After putting down the phone, she rushed out of the house!

On the road, Qiao Qiqi gripped the steering wheel tightly, driving the car almost as if it were flying, her eyes bloodshot!

Qiao Yue’er, you better not let me find out you had something to do with this!

Otherwise, I’ll take your life!
