Chapter 204: Acting As Jiaojiao’s Protector? Was He Worthy?!
The moment Xu Ye saw Quan Jue, he almost collapsed.
—He never expected Quan Jue to come with Jiaojiao.
What the hell was going on?!
He didn’t even invite Quan Jue. What the hell was he doing here?
Was he acting as Jiaojiao’s protector? Was he worthy?!
Chi Jiao and Quan Jue walked to Xu Ye. Quan Jue tossed the bag he was carrying to him and said, “This is your birthday present. Jiaojiao and I prepared it together.”
The last half of his sentence was filled with ambiguity. It almost made Xu Ye’s scalp explode from anger.
Xu Ye steadily caught the bag and looked at Quan Jue as if he was looking at an enemy who had killed his father. Then, he forced out two words from his gritted teeth, “Th-thank you!”
In front of Jiaojiao, no matter how much he wanted to fight Quan Jue, he had to endure it.
Chi Jiao gave Quan Jue a humorous gaze.
—The gift that she had prepared for Xu Ye had been taken away by this person. The gift they had just given Xu Ye was actually something that this youth had casually bought at the mall that they were passing by.
As Wen Yan was an elder, Chi Jiao and Quan Jue were not rude. They greeted her.
Wen Yan took a look at her son and was secretly surprised when she saw that he could still maintain a smile on his face.
It seemed that the little young girl did indeed have a great influence on her overbearing son. He even knew how to hide his emotions.
“Come in quickly. It’s too cold outside,” Wen Yan said to Chi Jiao and Quan Jue with a smile.
Xu Ye turned around and entered the house first.
The fireplace in the living room was burning and it was very warm.
All the students from Chi Jiao’s class had arrived. Yi Lanlan and Dang Nan arrived earlier. When they saw Chi Jiao and Quan Jue walking in together, they quickly exchanged glances.
—What was going on?
—Was Senior Quan here to cause trouble?
“Jiaojiao, we’re over here!” Yi Lanlan, sitting on a cushion next to the fireplace, shouted at Chi Jiao, waving her hands excitedly.
Chi Jiao also smiled and waved at Yi Lanlan.
“I’ll go loiter over there.” Quan Jue pointed to the quiet French window. Coincidentally, someone had placed a stool there. “Go greet your friends.”
With that, he walked over.
Chi Jiao quickly walked over to Yi Lanlan and Dang Nan. Yi Lanlan pulled her to sit on the cushion while Dang Nan handed her a cup of hot fruit juice.
“Thank you,” Chi Jiao said happily and took the juice.
“Sis! Tell me. What’s going on? Why are you here with Senior Quan?” Yi Lanlan’s gossipy soul was burning.
Even Dang Nan was looking at Chi Jiao in confusion.
“Yesterday, when Brother Quan and I went to the amusement park to play, we were attacked for no reason. That person didn’t succeed and ran away, but the police haven’t caught them yet. Brother Quan followed me here to ensure my safety.” Chi Jiao knew how to preserve Quan Jue’s dignity. Actually, she knew that Quan Jue followed her here mainly because of Xu Ye.
If the murderer was smart, they wouldn’t choose to attack her or Quan Jue at such a lively banquet.
When Yi Lanlan and Dang Nan heard what Chi Jiao said, they both took a deep breath.
“Then you’re not hurt, are you?” asked Dang Nan anxiously.
Chi Jiao shook her head.
“Who’s so perverted to do something like that? Jiaojiao, do you have a suspect?” Yi Lan’s voice was very loud, and her tone was filled with bizarre anger.
As soon as she finished speaking, a gaze landed on them.
