“Sigh…” Old Mrs. Lu sighed. Her eyes were cloudy as she recalled the past. “The girl from the Xu family is not normal. She didn’t cry or make a fuss after she was born. She could speak from Day One. Everyone says that she’s a monster.”

As time passed, the girl became more and more beautiful. Coincidentally, Lu Zhuo got tangled up with that Bai woman, so the family tried their best to use the engagement to separate the two of them.

If not for all of that, Old Mrs. Lu would have found another reason to completely cancel this engagement in the future and cut ties completely.

Lu Zhuo’s eyes were filled with astonishment and shock. His voice trembled slightly as he said, “She could speak as soon as she was born? How is that possible?”

“There are all kinds of strange things in this world.” Grandmother Qi smirked. “If I hadn’t happened to eavesdrop at the scene that day, 1 wouldn’t have known that Cheng Ying had given birth to such a monster.” She kept calling Xu Jiaojiao a monster, and her love and concern for Xu Jiaojiao earlier seemed like a joke. Her eyes were filled with ridicule.

Lu Zhuo stood rooted to the ground. No matter what, he could not accept his grandmother’s words. He even felt that this was her scheme to make him give up.

How could anyone speak as soon as they were born?

The old lady’s gaze landed on the gift on the ground. She said coldly again, “That girl has changed. It seems the person she married is from a rich family. Stop thinking about her, and have your parents find you a good girl of equal status. You’ll definitely have a good marriage. There are plenty of fish in the sea.”

Lu Zhuo lowered his eyes. His hands tightly clenched into fists, hidden in his sleeves, but he did not say anything.

After Xu Jiaojiao got into the car, she pulled her hand from Qi Shenbai’s without leaving a trace. She leaned her head against the car window. She was like a quiet doll, staring blankly at the clouds in the sky.

Qi Shenbai did not understand why her mood had suddenly become so low. He saw her beautiful brows furrow deeply.

He rubbed his throbbing temples with his index finger. Girls’ emotions always changed so quickly. Before he figured out the reason, he did not even know how to comfort her.

The atmosphere in the car was awkward and silent.

Xu Jiaojiao looked out of the window quietly. When she thought of Lu Huan’s gaze on Qi Shenbai, she felt like a fox demon who wanted to swallow the tasty young monk whole.

An indescribable anger rose in her heart, frustration mixed with anger. She could not explain it clearly.

She knew that none of this was Qi Shenbai’s fault. He was rich, handsome, and “single”. There were definitely many girls who would like him.

However, Xu Jiaojiao felt as if a rock was pressing down on her heart when she thought of those beautiful women surrounding him.

Lu Huan had an oval face and a pair of big, lively eyes. She was a mischievous beauty. She also had a slender and shockingly good figure. She had grown up in a pampered environment, so she was extremely good at makeup and maintenance.

Her gorgeous outfit, the best money could buy, was just icing on the cake for her. No man would reject a woman like her.

Xu Jiaojiao was even worried that Qi Shenbai would fall in love with Lu Huan.

Xu Jiaojiao was completely immersed in her own thoughts. She subconsciously turned to look at Qi Shenbai, her big sparkling eyes filled with unease and uncertainty.

Qi Shenbai could feel a burning yet strange gaze focused constantly on him.

“Something the matter?”

Xu Jiaojiao was like a child who had done something wrong. She subconsciously turned her head and muttered,

“Lu Huan is 19 years old this year. She’s a year younger than me.”

“So?”

Obviously, Qi Shenbai did not understand what Xu Jiaojiao meant by that. What did that woman’s age have to do with him?

Xu Jiaojiao continued, “She’s younger than me, so you definitely can’t have anything to do with her. You’re way too old for her.”

“Whatever her age, she has nothing to do with me,” the man said calmly.

Hearing his words, Xu Jiaojiao immediately beamed. The uneasiness and anxiety in her heart instantly disappeared.

Looking at Xu Jiaojiao’s bright smile, the corners of Qi Shenbai’s lips subconsciously curled up.

The Hanging Garden was the most famous restaurant in Luo City. The dishes were unique and the environment was elegant. Many upper-class socialites liked to gather here.

If anyone wanted to dine here, they had to make an appointment in advance.

Qi Shenbai was one of the top VIPs here. Of course he could reserve seats here at any time, and he would always get the best view by the window..
