Big Shot Little Jiaojiao Breaks Her Persona Again

Panda Novel

"Wow, Auntie is so nice! Auntie, I feel like I've lost weight from not eating your food these past few days." Chi Jiao walked into the kitchen and hugged her arm coquettishly as she spoke.

Although Chi Jiao was also trying to make Lu Xian happy, her words did come from the bottom of her heart.

To Chi Jiao, Lu Xian was not her birth mother, but she felt like one. Chi Jiao couldn't help feeling reliant on her and wanted to act coquettishly to her.

Lu Xian instantly beamed with joy upon seeing Chi Jiao's cute little face. She gently pinched her little face. "You sweet talker. You only know how to make me happy. Come over and help me. We can start eating when your father is back."

"Alright. Brother Quan, you can play with Little Xing outside. I'll help Auntie." With that, Chi Jiao put on her apron and started busying herself in the kitchen.

Quan Jue watched the two of them chatting and laughing in the kitchen and knew that there was no room for him. He resigned himself to fate and sat down beside Shen Xing.

Shen Xing looked at him and thought for a moment before handing the controller to him. "Want to play?"

Quan Jue shook his head.

The landline on the table rang at this moment.

Quan Jue picked it up and heard Chi Mingwei's voice on the other end of the line.

"Lu Xian, I have something on at the office this afternoon, so I'm afraid I can't come back. I've been calling your phone just now. Are you busy?" Chi Mingwei instinctively thought that it was Lu Xian who had answered the call. He blurted out all those words before Quan Jue had a chance to speak.

Quan Jue cleared his throat and responded, "Uncle, it's me. My mother and Jiaojiao are making lunch in the kitchen. Their phones are on the sofa. They might not have heard you calling."

"Oh, oh… Little Jue, it's you." For some reason, Chi Mingwei hesitated.

Quan Jue could tell that something was wrong with his voice. He asked, "Uncle, did something happen?"

Chi Mingwei doted on his daughter a lot. It had been a few days since he last saw Chi Jiao. Logically speaking, he should be eager to see her as soon as possible.

However, Chi Mingwei said that he had to work overtime. It was obvious that what happened to his company was not a small matter.

On the other end of the line.

Chi Mingwei hesitated for a moment before finally sighing heavily. "Little Jue, to be honest, my company has been targeted by the Quan Corporation. The investor who invested in 007 Laboratory suddenly withdrew his investment, causing our research to almost fail. I'm currently trying to find a way to get a new investor. But after asking around all morning, I found out that those partners who worked with us previously are all unwilling to work with us anymore."

Quan Jue's expression turned cold. "Are you sure it was the Quan Corporation?"

"Yes, an old friend who used to work with me is the one who told me. He couldn't bear to see me so anxious, so he finally told me the truth. However, I can more or less guess even if he didn't say anything. After all, other than the Quan Corporation, who else would make trouble for us?" Chi Mingwei said.

Actually, Chi Mingwei's good friend had advised him to persuade Quan Jue. If he refused to listen, he should side with the Quan Corporation.

According to his good friend, Chi Mingwei was being implicated by Quan Jue. As long as he kept a distance from him, the Quan Corporation would let him off.
