Chapter 236 The True Heiress Disdains the Wealthy Elite

"What is it?" Qi Che's tone was extremely impatient. Anyone could tell he disliked the pretty girl in front of him.

"Qi Che, I like you!" Qiao Sisi dared not look directly at Qi Che, closing her eyes as if she were making a daring decision.

She felt she truly liked Qi Che and didn't want to live with regrets.

If Qi Che was willing to accept her, she would abandon the marriage with Nangong Ming, which originally belonged to Qiao Ci, and be with Qi Che.

Qi Che was handsome, academically strong, and even if he had nothing now, he would surely achieve something in the future. She was willing to start from scratch with him.

Qiao Sisi was deeply moved by herself. She felt that at this moment, her love for Qi Che surpassed wealth and status, and her feelings were pure and incomparable.

"I don't like you, and I never will." Qi Che's voice was like a basin of ice water that thoroughly chilled Qiao Sisi.

"Don't you like me at all, never felt a flutter in your heart?" Qiao Sisi found it hard to accept and tried to make excuses for Qi Che, "I know, you don't want to be distracted. We can start dating after university."

"I don't like you, I didn't before, I don't now, and I never will. Don't bother me again." After speaking, Qi Che turned to leave.

The door was shut mercilessly in front of Qiao Sisi.

While she was heartbroken, she was once again called away by the 'Abbess Maitreya'. Quick Reader.

After being severely lectured, Qiao Sisi wrote a self-criticism, stating she would never do anything foolish again.

Seeing that she had suffered quite a blow, Abbess Maitreya felt a bit sorry for her and advised her earnestly, "This is the last time. I won't make you do a self-criticism in front of everyone this time."

Walking out of the office, Qiao Sisi was filled with resentment towards Qi Che. She had been ready to give her all and have an unforgettable romance with him.

Unexpectedly, he was so cruel to her.

Heh, this is good too.

She had already decided to give up on her biological father, and Qi Che didn't cherish her!

She could now agree to be with Nangong Ming, whom she didn't love, to save her biological father. As long as she was with him, he would definitely help her.

When Qiao's parents compromised for their biological daughter and were unwilling to help her save Qiao Shan, she would use her advantages to get Nangong Ming to help her!

She had already lost love; she absolutely could not become the daughter of a convict again!!!

Unaware of Qiao Sisi's peculiar thought process, Qiao Ci found her behavior very confusing.

Knowing that Qi Che didn't like her and had even rejected her multiple times, she still confessed her feelings in front of everyone.

Truly brave!

Seeing Qiao Ci looking at him with interest, Qi Che's ears felt a slight warmth, and he instinctively explained, "I don't like her, not at all."

"I know," Qiao Ci's eyes sparkled.

Because you like me.

Qi Che felt very uncomfortable under Qiao Ci's meaningful gaze and said somewhat shyly with a double meaning, "It's good that you know."

Meanwhile, after leaving Abbess Maitreya's office, Qiao Sisi took leave and went directly to Nangong Ming's company.

Nangong Ming didn't know what had happened at school, and he was somewhat flattered by Qiao Sisi's initiative to find him. "Sisi, you actually came to find me yourself. What, have you realized you're in love with me?"

"Nangong Ming, please save my biological father, I don't want him to go to jail..." Nangong Ming didn't know about the affairs of her family, and Qiao Sisi explained to him with tears in her eyes.

On this day, Qiao Ci was intercepted by Nangong Ming at the school gate.

"You are Qiao Ci?" He looked Qiao Ci up and down, as if appraising a piece of merchandise.

At this moment, Qiao Sisi was waiting in his car, and seeing this, she felt a little displeased.

Qi Che came out with Qiao Ci and quickly strode forward, blocking Qiao Ci and meeting Nangong Ming's gaze. "What do you want with her?"

"It's you?" Nangong Ming narrowed his eyes, seemingly displeased to see Qi Che.

He had previously hired someone to break Qi Che's leg, but it was unsuccessful and only caused him trouble. During that time, he was overwhelmed and didn't have time to cultivate feelings with Qiao Sisi.

Now that he had something to discuss with Qiao Ci, Qi Che wanted to interfere again?

What bad luck.

"You are so old, and you are blocking a girl in public. It will have a bad influence on her. I hope you will behave yourself," Qi Che said with a frown.

"Haha, how ridiculous. You're not Qiao Ci, so how do you know she wouldn't like a handsome and rich man like me to look for her?" Nangong Ming suddenly felt a damnable sense of competitiveness.

He then turned to Qiao Ci and said with deep affection, "Beautiful girl, may I invite you to a candlelight dinner?"

Qiao Ci glanced at him and flatly refused, "You're too old. Don't say such appetite-ruining things to young girls like me in the future."

Old?

"I'm only 25 years old, and I'm old?" Nangong Ming pointed at himself, his sense of self-doubt growing.

Who wouldn't praise him for being young and promising when they saw him? Now, he was actually being called old?

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't delay my going home to eat," Qiao Ci said, a hint of impatience in her voice.

"I'm looking for you because of Qiao Sisi's biological father's matter. I think we need a quiet environment," Nangong Ming was not lacking in perceptiveness. He needed a favor, so he should stabilize the person first.

"No discussion. Follow the legal procedure," Qiao Ci said, pulling Qi Che's sleeve and walking past Nangong Ming.

At this moment, Qiao Sisi could no longer sit still. Seeing that there were no longer many people around, she quickly got out of the car and blocked Qiao Ci, tearfully pleading, "Qiao Ci, I beg you, just let him go. He raised you for eighteen years. Can you really bear to see him spend the rest of his life in prison?"

"I can bear it!" Qiao Ci said, then nodded affirmatively.

"Qiao Ci, don't go too far!" Seeing Qiao Ci's stubbornness, Qiao Sisi shouted angrily.

"If you really care about your biological father, go back to that home and spend more time with him, and be filial to him. Instead of confessing to a boy in public at school and then hooking up with another backup boyfriend outside of school to be your spokesperson!" Qiao Ci laid out the facts and then glanced at Nangong Ming with a pitying look.

"What backup boyfriend? Don't talk nonsense!" Qiao Sisi suddenly regretted confessing to Qi Che in public. Now, she could only cling tightly to Nangong Ming.

As long as Nangong Ming remained her fiancé, Qiao's parents would not easily give up on her.

She glared at Qiao Ci hatefully, but her tone was pleading, "It was all my fault before. Please don't take it out on my biological father because of my matters."

Seeing her burst into tears, Nangong Ming's doubts completely disappeared, and he looked at Qiao Ci displeasedly. "It's best to be forgiving. No one likes a girl who is too aggressive."
