Chapter 66: Su Yun Jiao Discovers the Truth Behind Zhou Tingting's Stairfall

Before, the person who wanted him to make it public was Su Yun Jiao; now, the person who doesn't want people to know about their relationship is Su Yun Jiao again.

Lu Chi looked at Zhou Xian, who was blocking Su Yun Jiao's way, and said: "How come? Are you that afraid of others finding out about our engagement?"

Lu Chi stepped closer to Su Yun Jiao step by step: "Or are you just afraid that a certain person will find out?"

Lu Chi's gaze fell on Zhou Xian.

This clearly means Su Yun Jiao is afraid Zhou Xian will find out about their engagement.

"Lu Chi, are you crazy? Go to the hospital and get your head checked."

Su Yun Jiao had no intention of admitting their engagement.

She covered the spot where the steel wire had just poked her, and said to Zhou Xian: "Class monitor, let's go, ignore him."

"Okay."

Zhou Xian had noticed since earlier that the steel wire in Su Yun Jiao's clothing had poked her rib.

Zhou Tingting's dress is waist-cinching, with a steel wire frame in the waist of the skirt; a slightly large movement will poke the rib.

Especially this outfit, for Su Yun Jiao it's still a bit small.

Seeing Su Yun Jiao leave directly with Zhou Xian, Lu Chi backhandedly smashed a nearby prop onto the ground.

Instantly, a loud noise came from backstage.

The surrounding classmates were all frightened by this scene.

The usually taciturn Lu Chi actually flew into such a rage!

The person who could not accept this the most was Qin Xue.

Qin Xue stood not far away; after seeing Lu Chi go crazy for Su Yun Jiao, she cried and ran off.

Fang Hong arrived just in time to see this, so she hurriedly chased after Qin Xue and ran out.

"Little Xue, are you okay? Were the things Lu Chi just said true?"

Fang Hong couldn't believe that Lu Chi actually had an engagement with Su Yun Jiao.

Earlier, Qin Xue clearly told them that Lu Chi and she had already confirmed their relationship.

"Of course... of course it's not true."

Qin Xue feared her lies in class would be exposed, so she reluctantly said: "I actually understand Lu Chi; he and Su Yun Jiao grew up together, so he doesn't want to see Su Yun Jiao getting that close to other guys, but... he lied about having an engagement with Su Yun Jiao, and I really feel a bit upset."

"Oh, I see, this Lu Chi! Really, what's the point of lying about this? Did he forget you're his girlfriend?"

Fang Hong was still indignant for Qin Xue.

Qin Xue forced a smile and said: "Hong Hong, don't worry about this; I'll explain things to Lu Chi later."

"But today, letting Su Yun Jiao make such a scene, and Lu Chi still helping her, I really can't stand it!"

Fang Hong said: "I think it's just that Su Yun Jiao deliberately got that close to Zhou Xian, which is why I won't believe she'd give up Lu Chi."

Everyone in their grade knows Su Yun Jiao likes Lu Chi the most.

Anyone might give up Lu Chi, but Su Yun Jiao won't.

Seeing Fang Hong have some complaints about Su Yun Jiao, Qin Xue lowered her head and deliberately said: "What can be done about it? After all, we grew up together; if Su Yun Jiao wants to compete with me, I definitely couldn't win..."

"You're silly, little Xue! You're the main wife! Su Yun Jiao just relies on having grown up with Lu Chi; what's she got to be proud of? Without Lu Chi, Su Yun Jiao is nothing."

"Hong Hong, don't say that..."

"Alright! Stop talking, wait and see, I'll definitely find a way to properly teach Su Yun Jiao a lesson."

Fang Hong interrupted Qin Xue's words; she despises the lowly tactics used by these mistresses.

But they're just childhood sweethearts; do they still want to turn the tables and become the main wife?

Simply shameless!

Meanwhile.

Inside Hai Cheng Gao Zhong.

The principal was following beside Lu Jingqing, humbly saying: "Boss Lu, is our campus environment okay?"

Lu Jingqing lowered his head to glance at his watch: "Has the cultural performance already ended?"

"Yes yes yes! It's already ended!"

"I'm here to pick up my child and go home."

Today the meeting ended earlier, so when he arrived outside the school gate he was just waiting idly, thus he came in.

Hearing that Lu Jingqing had come to pick up his child, the principal was slightly surprised: "I didn't expect Boss Lu, so young, to already be married and have a child; I don't know which grade the student is in? I'll send someone to pick her up."

"It's just someone else's child; principal, no need to trouble yourself, I'll go pick her up myself."

After saying that, Lu Jingqing told Secretary Li beside him: "Go check the auditorium."

"Yes."

Secretary Li walked ahead, Lu Jingqing guiding the way.

The principal also hurriedly followed.

Lu Jingqing lightly said: "Principal, you don't need to follow."

Upon hearing that, the principal then stopped walking.

The principal looked puzzled.

"Someone else's child?"

Inside the auditorium.

Su Yun Jiao alone in the restroom was taking apart her clothing.

After a while, Su Yun Jiao finally managed to take off the elaborate formal dress.

"All done?"

Zhou Xian was outside the restroom; this is the girls' restroom, and the other students have already left school.

The ceremonial hall should now only have the two of them.

Almost there!

Su Yun Jiao changed into her own uniform, and only then did she feel a bit lighter.

Su Yun Jiao walked out of the restroom and handed the ceremonial dress to Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian took it and said, "I'll send you home later; thanks for your hard work today."

No need.

Su Yun Jiao said, "Lu Jingqing will come pick me up soon."

Figuring the time, if Lu Jingqing isn't in a meeting, he should have arrived by now.

Zhou Xian looked at Su Yun Jiao, fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Just now Lu Chi said, your engagement…"

It's true.

Su Yun Jiao nodded and said, "But we have no feelings for each other; after my birthday…"

Su Yun Jiao had originally planned to say that after her birthday she would cancel the engagement.

But there was still half a month until her coming-of-age ceremony, and Su Yun Jiao feared causing complications, so she trailed off: "Anyway, it's just an engagement; if you don't like it, you can dissolve it anytime."

Jiaojiao, you previously said the Lu family treats you very well.

Hmm, pretty good.

Apart from wanting to kill her, everything is pretty good.

Su Yun Jiao didn't reveal too much in front of Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian said, "You two have an engagement; have you ever thought, if something were to happen to you, who would benefit the most?"

These past few days, Zhou Xian has been wondering why Su Yun Jiao's health is so poor.

It wasn't until that day when Lu Chi said that Su Yun Jiao's food used to be homemade by Lu Mu that Zhou Xian had an answer.

But this is merely his speculation and cannot prove the fact.

Su Yun Jiao didn't expect that Zhou Xian had already considered this.

Just as Su Yun Jiao didn't know how to respond, a man's clear, cold voice came from nearby: "Jiaojiao."

Su Yun Jiao's gaze fell on Lu Jingqing not far behind Zhou Xian.

Lu Jingqing arrived very early today.

Earlier than before.

Like seeing a lifeline, Su Yun Jiao immediately ran to Lu Jingqing's front and sweetly said, "Lu Jingqing brother, you came to pick me up."

Lu Jingqing glanced at Zhou Xian and said, "Young Master Zhou, thank you for taking care of my Jiaojiao."

……It's fine.

Zhou Xian didn't say anything else.

The previous topic also came to an abrupt halt.

Su Yun Jiao said to Zhou Xian, "Class monitor, Lu Jingqing brother and I will head back first; we'll see you tomorrow."

Okay.

Zhou Xian agreed.

Su Yun Jiao pulled Lu Jingqing as they walked toward outside the ceremonial hall.

Lu Jingqing just let Su Yun Jiao pull him, and only when they reached outside the ceremonial hall did he stop.

What's wrong?

Su Yun Jiao looked doubtfully at Lu Jingqing behind her.

Lu Jingqing reached out a hand and wiped the smudged lipstick from Su Yun Jiao's mouth.

The cheap lipstick came off at a wipe, with no quality feel.

Who did your makeup?

My classmate…

Lu Jingqing straightened Su Yun Jiao's face, then used a tissue to wipe the smudged lipstick at the corner of her mouth: "Take off your makeup when you get back; this kind of cosmetic is bad for your skin."

Seeing Lu Jingqing so serious, Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but ask, "Lu Jingqing brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

That sentence made Lu Jingqing's hand pause.

Why ask that?

Few guys would understand cosmetics, right?

Seeing Su Yun Jiao say that as the reason, Lu Jingqing tossed the tissue and said, "I'm a businessman; a businessman's eye for goods won't be bad."

After saying that, Lu Jingqing looked at Secretary Li and said, "Go drive."

Yes, Boss Lu.

Su Yun Jiao followed Lu Jingqing as they walked out of the campus.

At this time, the other students had already left.

The campus was deserted, with not a single person.

Birch trees on both sides blocked most of the moonlight.

Only a few streetlights illuminated the road ahead.

Just now, what were you and the Zhou family's young master talking about?

Su Yun Jiao didn't expect Lu Jingqing to care about this.

The class monitor accompanied me to change clothes; today is the cultural performance, that ceremonial dress is his sister's, I need to take it off and return it.

Hearing that, Lu Jingqing frowned and asked, "You participated in the cultural performance?"

Yes.

Su Yun Jiao nodded and said, "Being called up at the last minute, I didn't intentionally fail to inform you."

Although Lu Jingqing is now considered her half‑guardian.

But Su Yun Jiao also didn't believe that notifying Lu Jingqing would make him come watch her performance.

Lu Jingqing asked, "What does being called up at the last minute mean?"

"It's that female classmate of ours, the class monitor's sister, who accidentally rolled down the stairs and can't perform, so I—"

As she said this, Su Yun Jiao unconsciously stopped in her tracks.

Zhou Tingting rolled down the stairs.

How coincidental!

She recalled the half accompaniment she had seen today in the studio.

A chill rose up Su Yun Jiao's back.

No wonder.

Could it actually be because of this?

Could it actually be because of this?

"Jiaojiao?"

"Jingqing brother! I seem to have lost something; I'll go upstairs!"
