"Brother?" Only then did Quan Jue notice how Chi Jiao addressed him. His thin lips curled up coldly.
He bent down slightly, and his handsome face approached Chi Jiao.
Chi Jiao felt his warm breath on her cheek, causing the little white rabbit in her heart to become restless again.
This young man was a vixen.
"Does your father know that you call me brother?" Quan Jue asked slowly. His dark eyes stared at the young girl in front of him with a terrifying gaze.
Chi Jiao shook her head.
She just felt that based on their current relationship, it was more appropriate for her to call him brother.
"Don't try to get close to me. I'm not your brother, and I don't like you at all." Quan Jue continued coldly.
The smile on Chi Jiao's lips froze as if she had suffered a huge blow. Her thin shoulders trembled slightly.
She looked like a little cub that had been bullied.
She had long expected Quan Jue to treat her like this because he hated the Chi family very much. Furthermore, she had just returned. In Quan Jue's eyes, she might be no different from the Chi family.
The current Quan Jue was like an iceberg.
Initially, Quan Jue thought that Chi Jiao would be angry. In the end, the young girl in front of him only sighed. She raised her clear and innocent doe eyes and looked at him pitifully. "But you're older than me. I can't possibly call you brother."
Looking at the pitiful girl in front of him, a dark glint flashed across Quan Jue's eyes.
The Chi family's blood was cold. Who was she putting on such an act for?
"Don't bother me again." With that, Quan Jue slammed the door shut again.
The loud sound of the door closing made Chi Jiao's nerves skip a beat.
She puffed up her cheeks and looked at the tightly shut door in front of her. However, she didn't insist on knocking on the door.
She didn't dare to cling too tightly to him. She was afraid that he would hate her.
Even though he didn't seem to like her much now, at the very least, she couldn't let this dislike turn into hatred.
Quan Jue stood on the other side of the door and watched through the peephole as Chi Jiao shrugged her shoulders and dragged her feet away. He pursed his thin lips slightly.
The next day, on the weekend.
Yan Qingqing called Chi Jiao early in the morning, waking her up from her sleep.
"Next Wednesday night at 8: 00 PM, room 008 of Xian Anju. You should arrive half an hour earlier. I've already made an appointment with them."
"Got it." Chi Jiao's voice was a little shaky.
Last night, she didn't sleep well. She dreamed that she and Quan Jue were playing a game of chasing each other. She chased him for the entire night, and every time she almost caught up to him, he would run away again.
"Are you not feeling well?" Yan Qingqing sensitively sensed that something was amiss with Chi Jiao. "Did your cheap father not treat you well?"
Chi Jiao had grown up in the mountains since she was young, and the Chi family had almost never fulfilled their obligation to support her. Yan Qingqing was very worried that Chi Jiao wouldn't be able to integrate into the family after returning.
After all, Jiaojiao was so outstanding that she was no longer on the same level as the Chi family.
No, it should be that the Chi family was no longer worthy of being compared to Jiaojiao.
"No, we'll talk when we meet." Chi Jiao's current physical condition had yet to reach its peak. Her illness had been brought out from her mother's womb. If she wanted to fully recover to her peak state, she would need at least two more years of recuperation.
She hadn't eaten last night and hadn't slept well the entire night. Hence, she was in low spirits.
After hanging up, Chi Jiao looked at the clock on the wall. It was already eight in the morning.
Breakfast in this family started at 8: 30 AM every day.
