Xu Moqian scratched his hair and said with a stern expression: "Sorry, I just recognized the wrong person. I didn't mean to offend."
"It's okay, I understand."
Qiao Jing said, raising the two pots of green plants in his hands, "I'll put these in the cultivation room first."
After saying that, she walked into the cultivation room next to her.
At this time, Xu Hongzu and Zhan Nanjing came over.
Zhan Nanqing also entered the cultivation room, while Xu Hongzu was stopped outside by Xu Moqian.
Xu Moqian complained: "Grandpa, how come you never mentioned to me that Miss Qiao San works here?"
Xu Hongzu glanced at his grandson sideways and asked, "Why do I mention it to you? Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"This..." Xu Moqian was speechless for a moment.
Speaking of which, it seems to have nothing to do with it...
After pausing for a few seconds, Xu Moqian asked curiously: "By the way, why did you recruit her into the research institute?"
"Why else? Of course it's because they are talented and capable in this area! If we don't recruit people like this, wouldn't it be a waste of talent!"
When Xu Hongzu said these words, he took a matter-of-fact tone, and did not hide his appreciation in his words.
Xu Moqian was surprised when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, this Miss Qiao San is not only similar to Qiao Jing in her name but also in her gestures. She is also equally talented in agriculture!
At this time, Xu Hongzu suddenly thought of something, and suddenly changed the subject, and said slowly: "Xiaojing has been missing for so long, and there is still no clue. I am afraid she is gone. Even if she comes back, it is impossible to follow you."
"I think this new girl is pretty good, and she's quite to my liking. You can't hang yourself from a tree, or else you're going to chase her?"
Hearing this, Xu Moqian immediately frowned and said impatiently: "Grandpa! How many times have I told you that I will never like any other woman except Sister Jing in this life!"
"Even if other excellent women appear, I won't fall in love with them. I only have my sister in my heart!"
"If you want to bring me and others together, then I advise you to give up. This will not lead to any results!"
Hearing his grandson's paranoid words, Xu Hongzu suddenly became furious and said angrily: "You are the only one in our Xu family. If you never marry, how can I hold my great-grandson in my arms? Isn't that what our Xu family is?"
Are you going to die like this?!"
Xu Moqian shrugged and replied disapprovingly: "If you really want to have a great-grandson, I will just adopt one when the time comes."
When Xu Hongzu heard this, he couldn't hold back his anger on the spot, so he picked up the sole of his shoe and started to fight.
Xu Moqian was rich in experience. As soon as he saw his grandfather's actions, he immediately turned around and ran away.
For a moment, the grandfather and grandson were chasing each other, chasing each other around the flowerbed next to them.
Xu Hongzu was an academic scholar, and he was always meticulous and strict in his dealings with others. However, every time he met his unsatisfactory grandson, he would be unable to control his emotions and commit some "atrocities" that were quite rude.
Qiao Jing and Zhan Nanqing in the cultivation room heard the noise and came out curiously. As soon as they came out, they saw Mr. Xu chasing and beating his grandson.
This scene reminded Qiao Jing of the scene she saw at Zhan Nanqing's engagement party.
At that time, Xu Hongzu was also cursing and chasing Xu Moqian...
Qiao Jing couldn't hold back and curiously asked Zhan Nanjing, "Have they always gotten along like this?"
Zhan Nanjing nodded and said meaningfully, "Just get used to it."
Anyway, she has long been used to it!
That night.
Qiao Jing worked overtime until very late on her own and devoted herself to studying the project assigned to her by Mr. Xu.
When she came out of the institute and was about to take a taxi to leave, she didn't wait for the taxi to pass by.
Just when Qiao Jing was thinking about walking back directly, a convertible sports car drove over quickly and stopped steadily in front of her.
Xu Moqian, who was in the driver's seat, raised his eyebrows at her and said, "Get in the car, I'll see you off!"
Because he hadn't been to the institute for a long time, he stayed a little longer. He was about to go back now, but he didn't expect to meet him by such a coincidence.
Qiao Jing waved his hand, "No trouble, I'd better take a taxi myself."
"It's so late, it's hard to get a taxi. Besides, we're all so familiar, why are you so polite?"
With that said, Xu Moqian directly opened the passenger door.
Although they didn't have much contact with each other, Qiao Jing could tell that Xu Moqian had a very forthright personality, and he also felt that he didn't have any unnecessary thoughts. It was actually quite comfortable to get along with him.
In addition, she felt like an old friend at first sight towards Xu Moqian, just like when she first met Lin Xiuxiang, as if she was an old friend she had known for many years.
Based on this, Qiao Jin did not refuse anymore and got into the car.
After the car had driven some distance, Qiao Jing's stomach suddenly made a "gurgling" bowel sound.
Embarrassed, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't had dinner yet!
Xu Moqian was very wise and immediately suggested: "There is a food court in front, how about we go eat something together?"
"No." Qiao Jing shook her head, "I'd better go home first."
"Oh, don't be polite. I happen to be hungry too. Come on, let's go."
With that said, Xu Moqian didn't give her a chance to refuse and drove the car directly towards the food street.
After arriving at the food court, Xu Moqian parked the car on the side of the road, and the two entered a barbecue restaurant together.
When the skewers were served, the two chatted while making skewers and quickly became familiar with each other.
After a while, Xu Moqian stared at Qiao Jing's face and asked curiously: "By the way, aren't you studying with Master Zhou in Miaochun Hall now? Why didn't Master Zhou help you clean up your face during this time?
Can these acne be cured?"
Qiao Jing took a bite of the mutton skewers, and then said truthfully: "Master Zhou mentioned it, but I don't want to treat it."
Hearing what she said, Xu Moqian suddenly became even more curious, "Why don't you want to treat it? Don't you girls all value your appearance?"
Qiao Jing had a very interesting chat with him, so he didn't hide anything.
She first asked, "You should still have an impression of Jiang Zihong, right?"
Xu Moqian nodded, "I remember, it was the bastard who kidnapped you by force before and insisted on forcing you to get engaged!"
Seeing that he was impressed, Qiao Jing directly explained the cause and effect.
"When my face was still fine, I only met this bastard once or twice, and then he kept stalking me, threatening me, and it wasn't until I got these pimples on my face that he finally
It stopped for a while.”
"Although he didn't give up and pestered me again, the frequency was lower than before, so I think it's good that my face is like this now. At least it can avoid similar situations and save a lot of trouble...
