Chapter 49: Difference in Treatment

He Wanqing’s eyelid twitched when she heard this .

There were many people with bad grades but they wouldn’t be labelled incapable .

The problem was that Qiao Qing has a genius of a father and an outstanding cousin .

When compared to those two, Qiao Qing seemed useless .

Now that Tao Yi mentioned Qiao Zibo, He Wanqing couldn’t help but react sensitively .

Despite so, she still nodded, “Yes . ”

When she heard this, He Wanqing’s gaze turned softer .

“Back when Huaian and I first came to the City of Brisk, it was all thanks to Mr . Qiao that we were able to root ourselves in this city and have today’s achievement . If it weren’t for him . . ”

Tao Yi sighed and simplified some statements, “The Qiao family is a lot higher up than the Luo family . For our kids to be good friends, we could say it’s fate . ”

Then, she took out two business cards, “This is my contact info and Luo Chen’s father’s contact info . If Qiao Qing and you have troubles you cannot get over, then please contact us . ”

“Though Huaian isn’t all that capable, he does have a voice in the City of Brisk . ”

From nearby, Qin Yongmei’s face turned green from watching this .

She couldn’t believe that despite her proactive pleading, she couldn’t even get a promise from Tao Yi .

He Wanqing, on the other hand, didn’t even do anything and was offered kindness!

It was true . That entire family is the root of her family’s misfortune!

Especially that Qiao Zibo . Even after he disappeared, he had caused much unhappiness for her .

“How could I accept that?” He Wanqing declined while extending a hand .

Tao Yi right away stuffed the business card into her hand, “You can stop being so polite and stop declining me . This isn’t just to repay you, I really do want you as a friend . As friends, we can at least get each other’s contact info, right?”

Only then did He Wanqing stop declining . She then smiled, “You are being too nice . ”

Qin Yongmei saw how He Wanqing didn’t even accept right away and wanted to puke out blood .

Without anymore desire to look at this, she hissed coldly and walked away with Qiao Nian .

Now that He Wanqing has accepted, Tao Yi sighed in relief and no longer played polite, “I will visit your home another day . ”

Then, she called out to Luo Chen, who had been chatting with Qiao Qing, “Chen, it’s time for us to go back . ”

Luo Chen responded with an “oh” and then said, “Qingqing, I’ll see you next week then! Auntie, see you!”

Tao Yi waved at He Wanqing with a grin . Then, she held up an umbrella to help Luo Chen avoid the poisonous sun .

Qiao Qing watched the two leave and fell into deep thought .

The way Luo Chen and Tao Yi behaved may seem like son and mother to an outsider .

But upon closer observation, it was obvious that Tao Yi’s every move was extremely respectful towards Luo Chen .

It wasn’t the way a mother treats their child, but more like a servant serving their master .

“Baby, what are you thinking of?” He Wanqing saw how Qiao Qing was deep in thought and she couldn’t help but ask .

“Nothing . ”

Qiao Qing retracted her gaze and mumbled, “Let’s go . ”

On the way back, He Wanqing and Qiao Qing ran into Qin Yongmei chatting with several adults, looking proud .

They didn’t want to be apart of the crowd, but the people who circled Qin Yongmei didn’t let that happen .

They were saying very nice things to Qin Yongmei and Qiao Nian, but when they saw Qiao Qing and He Wanqing, they changed the subject .

“Isn’t that Niannian’s older cousin? The one who claimed to place first next time?”

At those words, an older lady laughed while hiding behind her hand .

“You actually believe in that stuff? If the second last scorer can place first, then my daughter can become the most prominent scholar in the city . ”

“Aye, why do we focus on such a trivial matter? We are wasting our time . Right now, I just want to hear how Mrs . Qiao educates her child so I can learn a thing or two . My kid simply does not want to self-improve!”
