Chapter 543 - I’ll Never Get Married

Chi Jiao’s attention was immediately attracted by the jelly. She impatiently peeled one and put it in her mouth.

Recently, Quan Jue had been controlling her snacking because she was having too many snacks.

She hadn’t had strawberry jelly for a while.

Chi Yexi shot Shen Liao a sharp look. Shen Liao pretended not to see it and just looked at Chi Jiao lovingly.

“How many business deals did you get today?” Gong Lu asked with a smile.

This question stung.

Chi Jiao put up one finger with a faint expression.

“Just one? Isn’t that too tragic?” Gu Xia frowned.

“How about I help introduce a few customers to you?” Yan Zhengchen continued.

Chi Jiao shook her head. “I’m not planning to rely on that small shop to become rich. This is a business that depends on fate. You don’t have to help me get customers. I have serious things to discuss with you all.”

Hearing her words, the few big shots sitting around sat up straight in unison.

Yan Qingqing happened to walk over with a fruit platter. She placed the platter on the coffee table and sat down.

“You all know about the Soul Stone,” Chi Jiao said.

The men and Yan Qingqing nodded.

“Although you guys didn’t enter 117, for Grandpa’s sake, we still have to work together to find it,” Chi Jiao said slowly.

“Of course,” Yan Zhengchen said slowly.

The others nodded in agreement.

“I’ll share with you any clues that I have. Please keep an eye on things in Shang Jing,” Chi Jiao said with a smile.

“We’re at your disposal.” Chi Yexi returned her smile.

Chi Jiao nodded and turned to Yan Qingqing. “Qingqing, stay in White City for the time being.”

Yan Qingqing was more than happy to comply and immediately agreed.

“Jiaojiao, has the Quan family been causing trouble for you recently?” Gong Lu adjusted his glasses and suddenly changed the topic.

The other men also looked at Chi Jiao.

“No.”

Gong Lu heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. There’s no need to hide anything from us. Others might fear the Quan family, but we’re not afraid of them.”

“Brother Lu is right. You guys didn’t tell me when Quan Yan came looking for trouble. I only found out a few days ago. I’ll teach that fellow a lesson when I see him.” Shen Liao clenched his fists.

“Count me in,” Gu Xia added.

“Me too,” Chi Yexi said slowly.

Chi Jiao looked at the big shots and her lips curled up. “Actually, it’s nothing. You don’t have to take it to heart.”

“That won’t do.” Yan Qingqing was the first to speak. “I don’t know what happened to Quan Yan recently, but he has been behaving himself with his tail between his legs. He doesn’t go to the clubhouse anymore too, so I haven’t been able to meet him. Otherwise, I’ll beat the crap out of him.”

“Tsk, Qingqing, why are you so fierce? How are you going to find a husband in the future?” Gu Xia teased her.

“I don’t intend to find a husband. I’ll never marry.” Yan Qingqing flirtatiously twirled her long hair.

Chi Jiao looked at Yan Qingqing deeply when she heard this.

She really wanted to tell Yan Qingqing.

She would definitely get married in the future and have a pair of adorable twin sons.

However, it wasn’t the right time to talk about this now. Hence, Chi Jiao, Yan Zhengchen, and the rest chatted about something else.

Chi Jiao left the villa at 10:00 PM.

Yan Qingqing knew that she was going to visit the haunted house tonight and wanted to follow her, but she objected.

She called Beitang Lie along.
