Quan Jue was a year older than Chi Jiao and was 18 years old this year.
Chi Jiao blinked her doe-like eyes and looked at the young man expectantly. Her heart felt like it was filled with a little rabbit.
This was the first time she felt the joy of a young girl yearning for love.
In her previous life, she had already thought that Quan Jue was good-looking and her type. However, because he looked too difficult to deal with, she had given up on him.
But it was different in this life. She had to get him.
To Chi Jiao's disappointment, Quan Jue only nodded coldly at her. He didn't even give her a smile. He turned around and walked up the stairs.
"That was our adopted son just now. His name is Quan Jue. He's always so cold and treats everyone the same. Jiaojiao, don't mind him. " Zhu Limin smiled at Chi Jiao. Her polite attitude was always that of a matriarch treating a guest.
Of course, Chi Jiao didn't mind Quan Jue's current coldness. She endured her racing heart and looked at Chi Mingwei. "Daddy, I'm a little tired."
"Then, go back to your room and rest. Tomorrow, Daddy will bring you back to the ancestral residence to see your grandfather. Do you still remember what day it is tomorrow? "
"Of course I remember. I've already prepared a gift." Chi Jiao smiled sweetly.
In this world, the only people who treated her sincerely were Quan Jue, her father, and her grandfather.
Zhu Limin glanced at her faintly. "Jiaojiao, there will be more people attending the birthday banquet tomorrow. What gift did you prepare? Don't be unworthy of your status as the second daughter of the Chi family. "
In other words, she was afraid that Chi Jiao's gift would be embarrassing.
She didn't think that Chi Jiao could take out anything good.
"That's a secret." Chi Jiao blinked mysteriously.
Zhu Limin's smile froze as she couldn't help but curse in her heart.
B * tches were so pretentious.
When Chi Mingwei saw her sweet and playful appearance, he couldn't help but think of Chi Jiao's mother.
Chi Jiao was too similar to her mother. It was a pity that the heavens were jealous of her beauty and her mother had passed away too early.
Chi Mingwei reached out to touch Chi Jiao's head with a loving attitude. "Go and rest. Your auntie and I will bring Little Ze to an event tonight. If your Sister Yanyan doesn't come back, just tell Butler Zhou what you want to eat for dinner."
Zhu Limin gritted her teeth when she saw Chi Mingwei's gentle attitude towards Chi Jiao.

When she returned to her room, Chi Jiao threw herself onto the bed and slumped like a salted fish.
After lying on the bed for a while, she took out the black brick-like phone from her bag and dialed a number.
It only took a second for the call to be connected. Then, an anxious female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh my god, you finally called me back."
"Little Qingqing, what's going on? Why are you in such a hurry to find me? Chi Jiao hooked her hair with one hand and said lazily.
"There was a traitor in our laboratory in Shangjing. The sample was stolen." Yan Qingqing said through gritted teeth.
If it was possible, Yan Qingqing, who was on the other end of the line, wanted to crawl over and give Chi Jiao a good beating.
That was a sample that she had painstakingly nurtured. Now that it had been stolen, she wasn't anxious at all.
"It was Ah Shun, right?" Chi Jiao asked.
"How did you know? I haven't sent anyone to inform you. "
"Have you forgotten my profession?" Chi Jiao's lazy tone was laced with a hint of teasing.
