Chapter 405: Qiao Nan Was Cleared of Suspicion

With all these in mind, Qiu Chenxi could not believe that there was nothing going on between Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan.

Qiu Chenxi was in a dilemma.

Zhai Sheng was so opposed to the engagement of the two of them. There had to be a third party between them. But she was not sure whether the third party was Qiao Nan or not. Apart from hearing some information from Zhai Yaohui, Qiu Chenxi did not have any concrete evidence.

Qiu Chenxi tried to calm herself down. Then, she sat down again. “You mentioned that you are in high school?”

“That’s right.”

“Uncle Zhai told me that you are the top student in the middle school examination in Ping Cheng. You are pretty smart. How were your results after you entered high school?” Qiu Chenxi said with a smile, “I hope you don’t mind me asking. It’s just a casual chat.”

“I don’t mind.” Qiao Nan arched her eyebrows. What did Qiu Chenxi mean by asking so much about her results? “Thank you for your concern. After going to high school, I managed to maintain my standard.”

“Do you mean that even now that you are in Ping Cheng High School, you still maintain the first place in the level?” It was no wonder that even though Qiao Nan did not come from good family background, Uncle Zhai seemed to appreciate Qiao Nan’s hardworking att.i.tude when he mentioned her.

Uncle Zhai was very appreciative of girls who were of humble birth but strove for self-improvement.

“For now.” Qiao Nan was not exaggerating. She had ranked first among her peers for more than a semester.

“You are really amazing. I heard that Ping Cheng High School will compare the scores of its own students with those of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China’s students. You are the top scholar in the middle school examination last year. How was your result compared with that of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China’s students?”

Qiao Nan could not help but wonder why Qiu Chenxi asked about such details. What was her intention? “Well, according to my form teacher, my results were a few marks higher.”

“I see!” Qiu Chenxi’s eyes lit up, and her tone relaxed. Previously, she was like a cat whose tail was being stepped upon and all her hairs stood up. Now, she appeared to be very at ease. “I am sorry for disturbing you for such a long time. Since a young age, I am friends with Brother Zhai. We are basically childhood sweethearts. Our families have a tacit understanding, and I have always treated Brother Zhai as my husband. Recently, I have been in a bad mood because of some issues. Hence, I had some misunderstandings about you. Qiao Nan, you are also a woman. You should be able to understand my feelings. I thought that someone was going to s.n.a.t.c.h Brother Zhai away from me. I was too anxious and made the wrong judgment. I am sorry for wasting so much of your time. If there’s a chance next time, let me treat you to a meal as an apology.”

Qiao Nan pursed her lips. Did this mean that Qiu Chenxi had given up and believed in what she said?

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s alright. There’s no need to treat me to a meal. I do not have the time.” Qiao Nan stood up and looked as if she wanted to send her off.

Now that Qiu Chenxi had already figured out the whole matter, it was time to leave. She could not possibly intend to befriend Qiao Nan and chat with her, could she?

This time, Qiu Chenxi stood up very cooperatively and smiled politely at Qiao Nan. “It doesn’t matter. Let’s leave it to fate. You already have a hard time with your studies. I will not take up so much of your time. Have a good rest. You are Ping Cheng’s top scholar in the middle school examination. Two years later, you may be Ping Cheng’s top scholar in the college entrance examination.”
