“Yes, I’m sure. But there’s no other evidence, so it’s just a rumor.”
After returning to the hotel and putting down her luggage, Qiao Weiyang looked around the room and asked, “So this room was originally your exclusive room, right?”
“Yes, it hasn’t been used by anyone. It’s empty at other times. It’s been left alone since the hotel was developed.”
Qiao Weiyang revealed a bright smile. “I knew it. The last time I came, I felt that there was an indescribable familiar smell in this room, but I didn’t find any other clues. I didn’t want to make guesses either.”
“If you like this place, you can stay here whenever you want.” Su Zhuoqian lowered his head and kissed her.
“I like it very much! The last time I sent a photo of the starry sky here to Xiao Qing, she was extremely envious. She kept saying that she wanted to come and stay in my room.”
Su Zhuoqian’s expression was slightly cold. “Others can come and visit, but they can’t stay here. This place belongs only to us.”
“Yes, Mr. Su!” How could Qiao Weiyang let anyone else stay here? This was a place that belonged only to the two of them!
This time, her luck was even better than the last time. As soon as night fell, the stars in the sky lit up.
Qiao Weiyang looked up at the stars in the sky, and her mood rose.
She turned around and saw Su Zhuoqian standing on the balcony, answering a phone call. The starlight shone on his shoulders, outlining his tall and slender body. She could not help but turn her head to look at him seriously.
Sensing her gaze, Su Zhuoqian walked toward her. When he reached her side, he stretched out his slender arm and hooked it around her waist. When his fingers pressed the answer button, his lips landed on hers.
…
The next day, Qiao Weiyang had breakfast a little late.
Su Zhuoqian specially ordered room service and asked someone to bring breakfast over.
As she was eating, Qiao Weiyang received a call from her home country.
She picked it up immediately. It was Qiao Dongliang’s voice.
“Why aren’t you at school?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
“I am. I’ve got a question for you, Sis.”
“Yes, ask away.”
“Can I invest the portion of my assets from Grandpa in your company?”
“What are you thinking? I only ask for you to complete your college entrance examination. Don’t think about such things at this time, understand?”
“Second Sis has been persuading me to invest money in her company. She makes it sound like she’ll have a bright future ahead of her. I don’t know if I should invest… So I thought that I might as well invest in you directly so that I don’t have to worry about this.”
Qiao Weiyang was a little angry. What was Qiao Jierou thinking?
Previously, she had already used all sorts of methods against Qiao Dongliang. Was she going to affect his exams now?
Had she even considered her brother’s future? How could there be such a selfish person in the world?
“Sister, if you’re unhappy, I won’t say anything.” Qiao Dongliang could sense Qiao Weiyang’s low spirits.
Actually, he was really tempted by JR, but it was precisely because of what Qiao Jierou had done to him last time that he was suspicious.
At the same time, it was also because he sensed Qiao Jierou’s malice toward him that he was distracted and started thinking about investing… Qiao Jierou even dared to frame him with such a thing. In the future, she might do other evil things to him. Only by making more money and improving himself could he be invincible.
“I’m not unhappy, Dongliang. I just feel that Qiao Jierou shouldn’t be bringing up this matter now as it’ll affect your performance in your exams.”
“Sister, then do you think I should invest in her? Grandma and the rest are investing in her company. There are also many other relatives in the family doing the same. They all say that Second Sister will definitely hit it big this time. At that time, JR’s share price will soar. If we don’t invest now, it’ll be too late.”
Qiao Weiyang patiently guided him. “Then do you think her talent and ability are enough to support her ambition?”
Qiao Dongliang was sobered up by her words, and his mind immediately cleared up.
“Sis, I understand.”
“Dongliang, your biggest concern now is to face the first important moment in your life. You shouldn’t be affected by others, understand?”
His heart was overflowing with joy. “Yes! I understand!”
“Alright, take care.”
“Sister, you have to take care of yourself too.”
After Qiao Weiyang hung up, Su Zhuoqian asked, “Qiao Jierou wishes to drag a child under the age of 18 into the water?”
“What else can’t she do? In order not to ruin her image in Qiao Dongliang’s heart, I didn’t expose her. Not only is she not restraining herself, but she’s even pushing her luck.”
“It’s a good thing your brother is like you and not like her.”
This sentence was Su Zhuoqian’s highest evaluation of him.
Qiao Weiyang thought about it and was not so worried anymore. “Dongliang’s money is with Grandpa. Even if Qiao Jierou wants to do something, she might not be able to hide it from Grandpa. I’m not too worried about this.”
“I’ve checked. Whether JR’s share price will rise or not and how it’ll develop in the future, it all depends on whether Qiao Jierou can win a medal in the International Fashion Design Competition this time.” Su Zhuoqian looked at Qiao Weiyang. “With you around, she’s destined to get nothing.”
…
“Your brother still hasn’t agreed?” Huang Shumin asked Qiao Jierou quietly.
“He won’t agree no matter what. If he doesn’t agree, I can’t talk to Grandpa,” Qiao Jierou said.
Huang Shumin thought for a moment and said, “But even if he doesn’t agree, there are still many people who want to invest in your company. I’ve convinced many friends around me to invest their private savings. It won’t be a problem this time. I think we should forget about Dongliang for the time being. We’ll talk about it when there’s a chance in the future.”
“That’s what I think too.” Qiao Jierou was indeed regretful that she did not manage to get his investment this time.
However, the others all had high hopes for JR. They bought stocks and directly invested. JR was getting bigger and bigger, and its market value had increased three to four times in a short period of time.
Huang Shumin asked softly, “Daughter, do you have a high chance of winning the award this time?”
“Definitely.” A victorious smile appeared on Qiao Jierou’s face. Although Qiao Weiyang did not fall for her trap last time and still participated in the competition in the end, she went too late. Besides, her original design was taken away by her in advance. Qiao Jierou did not believe that Qiao Weiyang could come up with a good design on the spot.
Qiao Jierou had high hopes for winning the award this time. It was a piece of cake!
She had long heard countless contestants praise Qiao Weiyang’s semi-finished designs. She had heard more than ten people say that Qiao Weiyang was a genius from the heavens.
