Chapter 175 A Flash of Hatred
Shen Jiaojiao was concentrating on writing when a classmate came over, a little timidly but also a little bold, and patted Shen Jiaojiao. Shen Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at her in confusion.
She hurriedly moved closer. "Um, Jiaojiao, I'm sorry to take up your time... What happened between you and Liao Qingqing? She didn't come to class all day."
Shen Jiaojiao looked at her, then at the others. Most of them were also looking at her. Only when she looked away did they look away with poor acting skills... What did Liao Qingqing's absence from class have to do with her?
Do they all think it has something to do with them?
Shen Jiaojiao discovered not long after class started that Liao Qingqing was absent. However, there were obviously many reasons and causes for a person not to attend class, so how could it be related to her?
Was it about that pen last week? And those words I'd said—"That's it. Don't waste another second of my time. Oh, and that tut, you'll pay for that noise"?
Shen Jiaojiao shook her head, feeling a little aggrieved. If she didn't come, why would everyone think it was related to her? But until there was a clear conflict, she could only pretend not to see it.
When the classmate left and returned to his seat, Shen Jiaojiao put away her notes and took out her cell phone. She looked through her chat history with Liao Qingqing, and also looked through some groups where Liao Qingqing was also present.
To be precise, after Christmas Eve, she stopped responding in the group...she didn't reply to any emoticons, and she didn't joke with anyone anymore.
Shen Jiaojiao sighed a little, but still clicked back into their chat room. "Qingqing, you didn't come to class today. What happened?"
After sending the message, Shen Jiaojiao felt that she had done something unnecessary. That person shouldn't talk to her about the reason... and he insisted on talking about the last conflict. Shen Jiaojiao didn't think she had done anything wrong.
After the third period, they went to another classroom to prepare for the fourth period. Shen Jiaojiao walked over to the desk of the girl who had just asked her the question, "Have you contacted Qingqing? What did she say?"
After all, we were classmates. If she felt something she said was too aggressive, she could speak up. Studying is no joke; every class is worth cherishing. At the time, she had been tsk-tsk-tsk-ing me, and I didn't want to waste her time, so I resisted.
The girl and several people sitting nearby all shook their heads and said, "We asked, but there was no reply. We don't know what happened... After the second class, the class monitor went to ask the counselor, and the counselor said that he should be fine, he just took a leave for personal reasons, so the class monitor told us not to worry."
After the fourth class, Shen Jiaojiao got in the car and went to the food street to look at milk tea shops. After touring the shops for a week, she got back in the car and received a WeChat reply from Liao Qingqing.
"I'm fine. Just stay in class."
Aunt Xue came over and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Shen Jiaojiao replied first, "I'm glad you're okay. Will you come to class this afternoon?"
There was no response from the other end. Shen Jiaojiao turned off her phone, turned on her tablet, and used the hotspot to download several files from her mailbox. "Aunt Xue, after class this afternoon, let's go to my uncle's company. My plan has passed the re-examination, and Special Assistant Chen said that we need to go there for a meeting to make the final confirmation."
Aunt Xue nodded quickly. "Oh, by the way, Miss, I'm going to a meeting after class. Does that count as those people accompanying me working overtime? Do we need to buy anything?"
"We definitely need to buy cakes, milk tea, and coffee for afternoon tea. And, please prepare a small gift for me this afternoon. According to the message Special Assistant Chen sent, among the six of us, there are four men and two women. For the men, we'll give them ties, and for the women, each one will get a perfume... How about this?"
"Okay, Lao Qi and I will go shopping this afternoon. Miss, please keep your phone connected. Although I am good at picking things, I am older after all, and I am afraid that some styles may not be liked by you young people. I will send you photos and you can help me make a decision... But I certainly won't always disturb your classes."
"Well, Aunt Xue, that... Actually, I'm a little nervous. They budgeted me two million. It's the first time I've received so much money, and my uncle has high expectations of me."
After all, the project cost corresponds to the funds and scale involved in this project. After all, this is the first time Shen Jiaojiao has done this...
Grandma Shen arrived at the airport. In addition to Lu Shize's people who went to pick her up, Grandma Lu also went. Ji Yalan called in advance and had originally agreed to meet. When she heard the other party say that they were going to pick up Shen Jiaojiao's grandmother, Ji Yalan also said that they would go together.
After receiving the call, Shen Jiaojiao and Lu Shize received the report call respectively. In particular, Shen Jiaojiao talked to her grandmother for a long time...
The group first arrived at the old house of the Lu family. Grandma Lu had dinner at home with her old sisters and took a short nap after dinner. Ji Yalan had originally made an appointment with Grandma Lu to go to the welfare home to see the children. Grandma Shen thought it was nothing to do, so she went along as well. After all, Shen Jiaojiao had not finished school yet, and it would be evening before the grandmother and granddaughter could meet each other.
After lunch, Shen Jiaojiao went to class. Aunt Xue walked her downstairs to the teaching building and said, "Jiaojiao, Miss Ji Yalan is also going to pick up grandma today, right?"
Shen Jiaojiao heard her grandmother mention Ji Yalan on the phone, saying that she was very polite and came to pick her up. She told her not to worry, to study hard, and to see her in the evening.
Shen Jiaojiao nodded, and Aunt Xue said, "She seems to have always had a good relationship with Grandma Lu."
"Well, I stayed in the UK for only a year, and after I came back, we seemed to meet often and share newspapers and magazines."
Aunt Xue looked at the students coming in and out, and hurriedly pulled Shen Jiaojiao to the side. Although Shen Jiaojiao was confused, she still followed her to the side.
"what happened?"
Aunt Xue knew that there were some things she was not suitable to say. To be honest, she had been very quiet overall since she came to the Lu family to take care of Miss Shen. But sometimes, Shen Jiaojiao was too young, without her mother by her side, and her good friends were not always around.
In junior high and high school, she was always studying hard. Now, apart from studying, she is thinking about career-related things. She really needs someone around her to talk to in private.
"Jiaojiao, does she... like Mr.? I know I shouldn't ask. So, you don't have to answer this question. I just want to say that if she likes Mr., getting close to the old lady is not a shortcut.
Of course, maybe she wasn't just being nice to the old lady to get closer to him. I'm just saying that's a possibility.
I definitely wouldn’t say anything about other people, but I just want to remind you... don’t you like it too...?”
"Well, I like him."
Shen Jiaojiao felt that there was nothing to hide, and thought quickly, "Aunt Xue, you are saying... this is possible, right? She wants to pursue my uncle."
Without giving herself much time to think, class was about to start. Shen Jiaojiao said goodbye to Aunt Xue in a hurry and ran upstairs. But she had to admit that Ji Yalan always went to see her grandmother, and when her uncle was free, he would naturally go to eat with her grandmother. In this way, she would have more opportunities to meet him.
Maybe, the chances of seeing my uncle are more and longer than mine...
Shen Jiaojiao entered the classroom and saw Liao Qingqing, who had not come to class all morning. She looked very energetic and was holding a big bag, distributing snacks to the classmates... Each person received a heart-shaped box, and Shen Jiaojiao also received one.
Liao Qingqing seemed to be in a good mood. "Here it is." Shen Jiaojiao thanked her and took the things to her seat.
The heart-shaped box was opened, and inside were lollipops, chocolates, and two konjac jellies...
I heard Liao Qingqing say in front of everyone that she slept late in the morning and suddenly wanted to ask for leave. I didn't expect that after so many years of studying, today was the first time she could be so willful.
The classmates all thanked her for the gift, and some even joked with her, "Is it because your father is on a business trip that you dare to be so willful?"
Because everyone knows that his father and some teachers went to other cities to conduct research on behalf of the school these days and were not here, so everyone thought that she slept in and simply took leave and did not come.
Shen Jiaojiao peeled a chocolate and put it in her mouth, but when she looked at Liao Qingqing, she noticed a flash of hatred.
Yes, it was hatred, but when Shen Jiaojiao looked over again, it disappeared immediately.
In a trance, Shen Jiaojiao felt that she was not wrong, but... Liao Qingqing had nothing to hate her for, right?
Why that look?
