Chapter 510: If You Have Time, You Can Go and Broaden Your Horizons
Although Ruan Xiaoxiao’s tone was very sincere, Chi Jiao couldn’t see any remorse in her eyes.
She wasn’t really sorry. She was just being perfunctory.
Chi Jiao didn’t expose her. Instead, she smiled calmly and said, “Let bygones be bygones. In the end, it’s not your fault. Since Ruan Xuan has already paid the price for his actions, I don’t want to take my anger out on others. You don’t have to apologize to me anymore.”
“Jiaojiao, you’re so magnanimous.” Ruan Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as Chi Jiao didn’t say anything, no one would know that she had such a useless brother and father.
Chi Jiao gave a superficial smile of her own.
“By the way, Jiaojiao, I have something else to tell you. Here, this is for you.” Ruan Xiaoxiao stuffed a ticket she had prepared in advance into her hands.
Chi Jiao took it and looked at it. She raised her eyebrows. “Is this a ticket to your art exhibition?”
“That’s right. It seems like you know that I’m holding an art exhibition again. Jiaojiao, this is a ticket I specially reserved for you. A few of our female classmates wanted it, but I didn’t give it to them. I reserved it for you. I don’t think most people have the chance to attend such a professional art exhibition. If you have time, you can go and broaden your horizons. I’ll bring you around then, okay?” Ruan Xiaoxiao was pretending to be considerate, but in fact, her words were filled with pride.
“Looks like I’m going to disappoint you. I have something on Saturday and can’t go. You should give this ticket to those female classmates,” Chi Jiao said calmly.
Her shop was opening on Saturday and she had no interest in going to Ruan Xiaoxiao’s art exhibition.
The smile on Ruan Xiaoxiao’s lips stiffened for a moment. “That’s such a pity. But it’s alright. I’ll invite you to my next art exhibition.”
“Alright.” Chi Jiao nodded perfunctorily. “I still have something on. You head on home first. Goodbye.”
Then, she turned and walked off before Ruan Xiaoxiao had any chance to react.
Carrying her school bag, Chi Jiao went to the hospital.
After successfully entering Zhen Xiaoqing’s ward with her work pass, Chi Jiao wasn’t surprised to see Beitang Lie inside.
When he heard the door open and turned around to see Chi Jiao, he gasped.
Seeing the young girl walk in wearing her school uniform, Beitang Lie was once again struck by the reality of his situation. He had to admit that his boss was really a student.
Beitang Lie stood up and walked towards her.
Chi Jiao noticed the bruises on his face.
His handsome face was bruised and swollen, looking very miserable.
“What happened to you?” Chi Jiao asked in confusion.
Beitang Lie opened his mouth, which accidentally tugged at the wound on the corner of his lips. He gasped in pain and said bitterly, “It’s all because I listened to you and broke up with my girlfriend. She was unwilling and said that I was a scumbag, so I allowed her to hit me to vent her anger. But I didn’t expect her to be so ruthless…”
“Alright, it’s good that you drew a clear line early on. Otherwise, when you really meet with a disastrous romantic encounter, you won’t just be beaten up,” Chi Jiao comforted.
“Then, have I already escaped my romance crisis now?” Beitang Lie asked expectantly.
“Yes, you did. However, you can’t fall in love for the next two years, or you’ll still meet with misfortune,” Chi Jiao said casually.
