Chapter 151: Bad News

When Xiao Baozhu came over, Scholar Wong went to leave. He did not wish to be in the same room as Xiao Baozhu at all. It was Xiao Baozhu who was to blame for plotting against him before. He was a man who felt that the whole world was beautiful but Xiao Baozhu made him feel dirty. He hated being scammed.

Seeing Scholar Wong leaving, Qin Qingqing also went back to her room while her maid, Cui, was standing there watching.

Xiao Baozhu knew that Scholar Wong despised her but as she was used to it so she did not look particularly disappointed. She only felt surprised to see that Liu Qianqian had come to visit her.

Liu Qianqian pa.s.sed the bottle of sunscreen to her saying that Ye Xiaoxian gave it to her. She then asked Xiao Baozhu, “How have you been doing recently?”

“Pretty good,” said Xiao Baozhu.

Judging from her appearance, Xiao Baozhu had become much more refined. She also had accessories on her head and silver bracelet on her wrist which suggested that she was treated as a concubine.

It was just that Liu Qianqian felt that Xiao Baozhu was not what she used to be. The previous Xiao Baozhu was very timid. She used to be very shy and lacking in confidence in what she did. She liked to stay quietly in corners and others would not really notice her.

However, the current Xiao Baozhu was different. Her gaze was firm and her behavior was cool. Even if she did not speak, one could feel her presence sitting beside her. Life truly could toughen a person up.

“Do you still read romantic stories as before?” asked Liu Qianqian.

Xiao Baozhu smiled bitterly. “No, I don’t. Romantic stories are not realistic. Now I’m reading Records of the Three Kingdoms.”

Liu Qianqian drew a deep breath and continued to ask, “Is it interesting?”

“It’s pretty nice. I can learn a lot of realistic and meaningful things.”

Liu Qianqian smiled. “That’s right. Those romantic novels are just used to kill time. I’ve told you before that those stories are not realistic at all and only naïve girls will believe them.”

She was so right. Just look how Xiao Baozhu ended up by believing such stories.

After they chatted for a while Liu Qianqian felt that it was about time for her to leave when Xiao Baozhu suddenly said, “Miss Qianqian, please say thank you to my sister-in-law for me. I’ll go back to see her soon.”

Liu Qianqian went to find Ye Xiaoxian again the following day. This time she went to Ye Xiaoxian’s house.

Xiao Baoshan had not gone to the dock yet. Seeing that Liu Qianqian had come to visit he knew that the women would have a lot to chat about, so he volunteered to grind the seasonings for Ye Xiaoxian so that she and Liu Qianqian could hang out freely.
