Michelle blinked her beautiful blue eyes and shrugged her shoulders dramatically. “I really don’t understand you people.”
Liang Conglin and Liang Feng smiled at each other.
The three of them just chatted for a few brief sentences, which didn't take much time, and their conversation only revolved around one person, Qiao Nian.
The compliments to Qiao Nian were like steel needles piercing Dai Jiaqi's heart when she overheard their conversation. She couldn't help but think...
If Qiao Nian was disgraced.
If she was no longer the omnipotent person in everyone's eyes.
Will these people, including those in China, still regard Qiao Nian as a 'god-like' existence
If she lost her external halo, wouldn't everyone discover her strong and aloof side, and find that she is not so likable.
That person...will he also realize that Qiao Nian is nothing special
Once these thoughts emerge, they grow wildly like rooted weeds, becoming thorns that pierce people's hearts and accelerate blood flow throughout the body.
Dai Jiaqi's heart was beating like a drum.
In a trance, she heard the sound of her own exhalation, and said calmly to Zhou's mother who was about to leave: "Aunt, you go first, I want to get breakfast first."
"Hey, you're not coming with me?" Zhou's mother turned around and looked at her niece who was standing there in surprise, and saw Dai Jiaqi shaking her head.
"I took the same one I had in the past."
Mother Zhou didn't notice anything unusual and nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll go find your uncle first, you can come and sit at the same table with us later."
"good."
Dai Jiaqi was very calm. Her hands were clenched into fists behind her back, and the blood vessels on the back of her hands were bulging, revealing that her heart was burning like boiling water beneath her calm surface.
Zhou's mother walked away.
Dai Jiaqi took a plate from below, turned around and picked up a piece of Black Forest mousse, and began to silently observe the three people standing not far away. I don't know if she was lucky.
Liang Feng picked up the roasted bacon and walked away to talk to Liang Conglin about something. In a blink of an eye, the blond and blue-eyed foreign man was left.
Dai Jiaqi clenched her fingers holding the plate and walked steadily towards Michelle...

The court session started at 10 a.m. today. Qiao Nian slept until 9 a.m., then went into the bathroom to wash up and splashed cold water on his face to wake himself up.
When she picked up the baseball cap on the table and put it on her head and went out, she found that the door of the room opposite was closed. She didn't know whether he hadn't gotten up yet or was not in the room.
Qiao Nian leaned on her elbows at the entrance to change her shoes. Her long and thick eyelashes drooped to hide the emotions in her eyes. She was thinking that after she resolved Zhou Xuxing's lawsuit, she would find an opportunity to find out what he was hiding.
Just then, the phone from Liang Conglin, urging her to come over, lit up.
Qiao Nian didn't have time to think about it, so he closed the door and went to look for someone.

She was the last person to arrive at the restaurant.
The others had basically finished their breakfast.
As soon as she appeared, she became the focus of everyone's attention. Without her doing anything, others quickly gathered around her.
Dai Jiaqi looked at everyone from Liang Feng to Liang Conglin, and then to the members of the legal team who came this time, and even the old lady passed by.
She was almost drowned by the tide of jealousy, and then she remembered what she had done. She gently looked away and shrank back as if she was guilty, afraid that Qiao Nian would notice her.
She has been like this for the past few days. No one paid attention to her abnormal behavior at this time. Zhou's mother even patted the back of her hand and whispered.
"I know you feel bad about what she said about you last time. But she is here to help your cousin after all, so just be patient and give in to her. When your cousin is safe, we will no longer have any contact with her." (End of this chapter)
