The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 440 - 438

Qiao Qiqi naturally wouldn’t play with a little kid who’s still wet behind the ears; she handed him over to the servants, as she had her own matters to attend to.

Qiao Xiaobao was a bloodline of the Qiao Family. No matter what, it was impossible to abandon him, even less so throw such a young child into an orphanage. Even after Qiao Qiqi’s rebirth, thinking of herself as having a hardened heart, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

But, she had to guard against Qiao Yue’er causing trouble.

Qiao Xiaobao was still young and naive. If Qiao Yue’er kept causing trouble and teaching him bad things, it would be too unfair to Qiao Xiaobao.

So, Qiao Qiqi specifically instructed the two people responsible for taking care of Qiao Xiaobao that they absolutely must not allow Qiao Yue’er to have the chance to be alone with him; one of them must remain by the child at all times, even swapping shifts when going to the restroom.

As it turned out, Qiao Qiqi guessed right; Qiao Yue’er indeed wanted to start from Qiao Xiaobao, intending to instill certain ideas in him from an early age. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Fortunately, the two servants were dutiful and did exactly as Qiao Qiqi instructed, so Qiao Yue’er couldn’t find an opportunity to teach Qiao Xiaobao anything.

No matter how much Qiao Yue’er tried to dismiss them, the two refused to listen to her, insisting on staying with the child.

Qiao Yue’er was so angry that her face turned blue. She felt like she had no status in the family anymore, with even a servant daring to give her attitude.

Soon, it was the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Elder Rong had to return to Capital City, and the three Rong brothers each had to return to their respective works.

Before Rong Yuan left, he took Qiao Qiqi on a visit to Tianxiang Entertainment.

Yuan Zichen had been practicing diligently recently and was about to make his debut. The company had already started making arrangements; everything was ready except for that one final push.

Lately, Yuan Zichen has been pretty calm. He knew about his father’s injury and hospitalization but felt no emotional stirrings. He was long disappointed with the so-called father.

In fact, he was even a little happy because those who tried to harm him kept getting hurt themselves, and Miss Qiao was always present when it happened. He suspected she was helping him.

"Brother, I’ll go for a walk myself. You go handle your business."

Someone came to find Rong Yuan for some matters, and Qiao Qiqi hadn’t toured the company’s departments yet, so she wanted to look around today.

"I’ll find someone to accompany you."

"No need, I want to take a stroll myself. Go on with your tasks."

Qiao Qiqi insisted on not having anyone accompany her. Rong Yuan, a bit helpless, ruffled her hair and told her to call him if anything came up before leaving.

Qiao Qiqi glanced at the guide sign in the lobby, planning to first visit the floor where the trainees practiced.

She took the elevator to the seventh floor. As she got out, music echoed in the hallway, yet no one was in sight. She wandered around, watching the handsome boys and girls inside train hard and sweat.

Qiao Qiqi was just about to leave when she heard someone talking around the corner, a boy’s voice.

"Yuan Zichen is really too arrogant. I’ve been with the company as a trainee longer than him! He doesn’t respect his seniors at all!"

"That’s not all; he relies on his connections to do whatever he wants in the company. Does he really think having a face can guarantee his debut?"

"He wants a debut, but does he even have that kind of luck?"

As Qiao Qiqi walked over and overheard the conversation between these three guys, she frowned slightly and approached them directly.

The three were engrossed in their private chat when someone suddenly approached, startling them briefly. They all breathed a sigh of relief once they recognized who it was.
