<strong>Chapter 964: Chapter 952: Let Xu Moqian Pursue Qiao Jing</strong>


    Xu Moqian scratched his head and said awkwardly, “Sorry, I mistook you for someone else earlier, it wasn’t intentional.”


    “No worries, I understand.”


    Qiao Jing said, raising the two pots of green nts in her hands, “I’ll put these in the cultivation room first.”


    With that, she stepped into the cultivation room next to her.


    At this moment, Xu Hongzu and Zhan Nanjing came over.


    Zhan Nanjing also entered the cultivation room, while Xu Hongzu was stopped outside by Xu Moqian.


    Xu Moqianined, “Grandpa, why didn’t you tell me that Third Miss Qiao is working here?”


    Xu Hongzu nced at his grandson and retorted, “Why should I tell you? Does it have anything to do with you?”


    “Well…” Xu Moqian was momentarily speechless.


    Come to think of it, I guess it really doesn’t have anything to do with me…


    After a few seconds, Xu Moqian curiously asked, “By the way, how did she get recruited into the research institute?”


    “What other reason? Of course, it’s because she’s talented and capable in this field! Not recruiting someone like her would just be wasting talent!”


    When he said this, Xu Hongzu was using a tone of obvious reason, with an undeniable sense of admiration in his words.


    Xu Moqian was quite surprised upon hearing this.


    Unexpectedly, this Third Miss Qiao not only has a resemnce in name and gestures to Qiao Jing, but also has a talent in agriculture!


    At this moment, Xu Hongzu suddenly thought of something and changed the topic abruptly, saying slowly, “Xiao Jing has been missing for so long without any clues, I fear she may no longer be around. Even if she came back, it’s impossible between you two.”


    “I find this new girl quite nice, appealing to my tastes. You can’t be hung up on one tree, why don’t you pursue her?”


    Hearing this, Xu Moqian immediately frowned, a bit impatiently saying, “Grandpa! How many times have I told you, in this lifetime, apart from Sister Jing, I won’t ever like another woman!”


    “Even if other excellent women appear, I won’t be interested in them. Sister Jing is the only one in my heart!”


    “If you want to match me with someone else, I advise you to give up that idea, it’s not going to happen!”


    Hearing his grandson’s obstinate words, Xu Hongzu suddenly got furious, angrily saying, “We only have you as the single seedling in the Xu Family, if you don’t marry, how will I have a great-grandson? Our Xu Family will end with you?!”


    Xu Moqian shrugged, nonchntly replying, “If you really want a great-grandson so much, I could just adopt one in the future.”


    Upon hearing this, Xu Hongzu couldn’t suppress his anger and immediately grabbed a shoe sole and started hitting.


    With experience, Xu Moqian, seeing his grandpa’s action, instantly turned and ran.


    In no time, the grandfather and grandson were chasing around the flowerbed.


    Xu Hongzu, a great schr, usually conducts himself with precision and discipline, but he always loses hisposure when facing his disappointing grandson, resorting to some quite embarrassing “violent acts.”


    Inside the cultivation room, Qiao Jing and Zhan Nanjing heard themotion and curiously stepped out, only to witness Elder Xu chasing and hitting his grandson.


    This scene reminded Qiao Jing of what she saw at Zhan Nanjing’s engagement banquet.


    At the time, Xu Hongzu was also chasing and scolding Xu Moqian…


    Qiao Jing couldn’t help but ask Zhan Nanjing out of curiosity, “Is this how they always get along?”


    Zhan Nanjing nodded and said meaningfully, “You get used to it.”


    She had long been ustomed to it!


    That evening.


    Qiao Jing stayedte at the institute, engrossed in studying the project Elder Xu assigned her.


    When she left the institute, intending to get a taxi, she couldn’t manage to find one.


    Just as Qiao Jing was considering walking back, a convertible suddenly pulled up in front of her.


    In the driver’s seat, Xu Moqian raised his eyebrows and said, “Hop in, I’ll give you a ride!”


    Since he hadn’t visited the institute for a while, he stayed a little longer, just about to leave when he ran into her.


    Qiao Jing waved her hand, “No need, I’ll just get a cab.”


    “It’s hard to get a cab thiste, besides, we’re so familiar with each other, why be so polite?”


    With that, Xu Moqian opened the passenger door directly.


    Even though they hadn’t interacted much, Qiao Jing could tell Xu Moqian was quite straightforward and that he didn’t have any ulterior motives, making it quitefortable to be around him.


    Moreover, she felt a sense of deja vu with Xu Moqian, simr to when she met Lin Xiuxiang, like meeting an old friend.<fn4530> Readplete version only at f?ndnovel</fn4530>


    With these thoughts, Qiao Jing didn’t refuse, and stepped into the car.


    After driving a bit, Qiao Jing’s stomach suddenly growled.


    Embarrassed, she only then realized she hadn’t had dinner!


    Xu Moqian, being considerate, immediately suggested, “There’s a food street up ahead, why not grab a bite?”


    “No.” Qiao Jing shook her head, “I’ll just head home.”


    “Ohe on, don’t be so polite, I’m hungry too, let’s go, let’s go.”


    With that, Xu Moqian didn’t give her a chance to refuse and drove towards the food street.


    Upon arrival, Xu Moqian parked the car by the roadside, and they both went into a barbecue restaurant.


    Once the skewers were served, they chatted while enjoying their food, quickly bing familiar with each other.


    After a while, Xu Moqian looked at Qiao Jing’s face, curious, and asked, “By the way, aren’t you studying under Master Zhou at Wonderful Hall? Why hasn’t Master Zhou helped you with those pimples on your face?”


    Qiao Jing took a bite of themb skewer, then answered truthfully, “Master Zhou did mention it, but I don’t want to treat them.”


    Hearing her reply, Xu Moqian became even more curious, “Why don’t you want to? Aren’t girls usually very concerned about their appearance?”


    Feeling a connection with him, Qiao Jing didn’t hide the truth.


    She first asked, “You remember Jiang Zihong, right?”


    Xu Moqian nodded, “I remember, he’s the scumbag who forcibly took you away and tried to force you into an engagement!”


    Seeing he remembered, Qiao Jing exined the whole situation.


    “When my face was still fine, I’d only met this scumbag a couple of times, and he kept pestering me, trying to coerce and entice me, until the pimples appeared, and he finally left me alone for a while.”


    “Thoughter on, he started bothering me again, but the frequency was less than before, so I think my face is fine as it is now. At least it helps avoid simr situations, sparing me a lot of trouble…”
