The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 496 - 489
Qiao Qiqi was surprised that Rong Xun’s urgent matter was about her gift, and she felt very touched. Everyone was watching the box in her hands, and when she opened it, inside was a beautifully designed crown!
Rong Xun runs a jewelry company, a very successful one at that, and surely has many treasures. However, the large red ruby at the center of this crown clearly was priceless.
"Third Brother, this is too valuable. I can’t accept it!" Qiao Qiqi immediately tried to return the item. The crown was encrusted with countless red rubies of the finest quality, making it impossible to estimate its worth.
"This is a gift for you. If you don’t accept it, I’ll be sad and feel like you won’t forgive me." Rong Xun felt ashamed for his previous poor attitude towards her.
Qiao Qiqi looked at him in surprise, "Third Brother, you didn’t do anything wrong. Why talk about forgiveness? Since it’s from my brother’s heart, I’ll accept it, but I will remember this kindness, Third Brother!"
In the future, there will definitely be a generous return!
Seeing her accept, Rong Xun finally smiled and couldn’t help but reach out to ruffle his sister’s hair, what the other brothers said was true, this sister was different from before!
"Old Third, this gift is way over the top. What am I supposed to give Qiqi?" Rong Yun glared at his younger brother.
"Big Brother, I’m out of my league too. I must think carefully about what gift to give my sister next so I won’t be overshadowed by you all!" Rong Yuan laughed.
The overshadowed Qiao Jiezhe was left thinking, "..."
Feeling hopeless!
His only advantage over the Rong Family brothers was perhaps...he was her real brother??
Mrs. Rong could hardly believe it. If one were to ask who among the Rong Family brothers was hardest to deal with, it wasn’t the eldest Rong Yuan or the second Rong Yun; it was definitely the stoic third brother Rong Xun. She had always wanted to get closer to him to acquire some treasures, but this brat completely ignored her for so many years!
Mrs. Rong was practically livid, especially seeing that top-quality red ruby crown, which should have been her treasure!
How did it become a gift for this bratty girl!
Even though Mrs. Rong was dissatisfied, she gritted her teeth and didn’t show it. After all, she was the lady of the Rong Family, and outwardly expressing dissatisfaction would be too unseemly. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Elder Rong’s birthday was three days later, so Qiao Qiqi and her family settled in for the time being.
Upon arrival, Qiao Yue’er always pretended to be inconspicuous, though she was actually observing, figuring out whom in the Rong Family would be easiest to approach.
Finally, she targeted Mrs. Rong and Fifth Young Master Rong!
These two should be the easiest to win over.
...
Of course, Qiao Qiqi knew that Qiao Yue’er came to the Capital City to find new backing; she’s too cunning to be easily defeated.
She was rather curious as to how in the previous life, Qiao Yue’er always had Zhou Mingqi watch over her, how did they know each other?
In her previous life, Qiao Yue’er had absolute trust in Zhou Mingqi, as if he would never betray her. She didn’t think much of it in her previous life, but in this life, upon reflection, what was the reason?
What kind of secret relationship do they have!
This is also why she didn’t stop her mother from bringing Qiao Yue’er to the Capital City. Since Qiao Yue’er and Zhou Mingqi knew each other in the previous life, they shouldn’t be strangers in this life. Let them meet, and she’ll see what’s really going on between those two.
