CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: THAT LOOK IN THE EYES—WAS IT PITY?

It’s not easy for anyone to live in this world. She’s not a saint, but she’s still willing to lend a hand with small favors.

Ning Xiuyuan glanced at his small deskmate. This girl seemed to carry quite a few secrets.

Qiao Qiqi felt Ning Xiuyuan’s gaze and furrowed her brow. Actually, she was quite conflicted. She didn’t really want to see Ning Xiuyuan dead.

But whether she could really help him escape that calamity, she wasn’t sure.

Forget it, take it one step at a time. Ning Xiuyuan isn’t going to die so soon.

Ning Xiuyuan, "?"

Why did he feel that his little deskmate always looked at him with a gaze full of—pity?

...

After school, Qiao Yue’er got into the car and told the driver to drive. The driver said, "Miss, the second miss hasn’t gotten in yet."

Qiao Yue’er was holding a belly full of anger today, but when she thought of her awkward status at home now, she could only endure it.

Her hand clenched into a fist, the nails almost digging into the flesh.

Qiao Qiqi got into the car playing with her phone, and the driver immediately drove off from the school upon seeing this.

Qiao Yun’er had gone back early. Her arm hurt from being messed with by Qiao Qiqi this morning, so she went back to complain.

This was actually a plan suggested by Qiao Yue’er. Thinking that Qiao Qiqi would have bad luck when they got home, Qiao Yue’er’s mood improved a bit.

Qiao Qiqi reopened the hacker website. Her current registration level only allowed her to take on some C-level tasks.

She originally just wanted to make some money, and C-level was enough.

Qiao Qiqi looked at the task leaderboard and clicked on the top one. The reward was 300,000, but she couldn’t do it yet and had to wait until she got home and used her computer.

"Sister, you might not know about the cost of living in Manchester, but with 10,000 you can’t really buy anything. You’ll find out once you make friends. You should let dad restore your pocket money when we get back," Qiao Yue’er, currently short on cash, didn’t habitually save money, and spent everything each month.

"..."

Qiao Qiqi didn’t even bother to respond to her, just started playing a small game.

"Qiqi, did you hear what I said?" Qiao Yue’er asked, suppressing her anger.

"You are too noisy, please shut up!" Qiao Qiqi shot her an unfriendly glance and continued testing her newly developed game, ignoring her.

Qiao Yue’er, "..."

Her face turned red with anger, and seeing the driver in front seem to stifle a laugh, she felt like she had lost all face!

Qiao Qiqi, just you wait, I’ll make sure you have a hell of a time!

...

Qiao Family.

The atmosphere inside the villa was a bit tense.

Qiao Yun’er had her wrist checked by the family doctor. It wasn’t a big deal, just hurt without a cause found, and the doctor said it wouldn’t hurt the next day.

Old Mrs. Qiao had a stern face, with a ruler placed beside her, under the guise of Qiao Family rules!

Qian Mentao heard that his daughter was hit and rushed back, full of anger. He scolded his sister-in-law, face full of displeasure.

Wu Lening was worried sick, wringing her hands in anxiety. She wanted to call her daughter and tell her not to come back, but the old lady didn’t give her the chance.

She wanted to ask her husband for help, but Old Mrs. Qiao stopped her too.

The car drove into the courtyard, and the driver opened the door for the two. Qiao Qiqi was the first to get out, striding into the villa.

At a glance, she saw Old Mrs. Qiao, Qian Mentao, and Qiao Yun’er sitting on the sofa, while her mother stood to the side looking aggrieved.

Qiao Qiqi’s face immediately turned cold. She dropped her backpack and walked up to her mom, pulling her to sit down.
