The school was a little far from the Su Family’s villa. Xu Jiaojiao stared at the scenery outside the car window in a daze. After a long time, her eyes felt a little sore. She closed her eyes and wanted to rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, she fell asleep right away. In the meantime, she even had a dream.

In her dream, she was chased and scolded by her classmates. They called her a shameless woman who sold her body just to stand out. There was also a older woman in a camel-colored windbreaker who gritted her teeth and slapped her hard.

“Jiaojiao…” Xu Jiaojiao was woken up from her dream by a voice that came from afar. She opened her eyes abruptly, but there was no grogginess in her eyes. Instead, there was a sense of trepidation.

Gang Xing, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, turned to look at her and asked worriedly, “Are you alright, Madam?”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded slowly. Then, she heard the sound outside the car window. “Jiaojiao…”

She subconsciously looked out of the window. Su Luo, who was wearing pajamas, was standing beside the car. She did not put on any makeup and her long hair was casually tied into a bun. Her face was haggard, but she looked at her worriedly.

“I wanted to come greet you, but you never got out of the car.” Su Luo saw the thin layer of sweat on Xu Jiaojiao’s forehead and asked in a hoarse voice, “What’s wrong?”

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head. “I’m fine. 1 just had a nightmare.”

“Let’s go in first. It’s too cold outside.” Su Luo pulled her wrist and brought her into the house.

Gang Xing followed behind them, carrying the things that Xu Jiaojiao had bought. After putting the things away, he wisely left the house and sat in the car to wait.

The huge villa was quiet and empty. No matter how luxurious the decor was, there was no hiding the sense of hollowness.

“Are you the only one at home?” Xu Jiaojiao looked at the empty villa and knew that Su Luo’s parents were not at home.

Su Luo lay weakly on the sofa and crossed her legs on it. “It’s normal. They’re rarely ever at home.”

Her parents were always either working or going overseas for couples’ vacations. They practically left their daughter to raise herself.

Xu Jiaojiao squatted down in front of Su Luo and placed her hand on her forehead. “Do you have a fever?”

“No, I just caught a cold.” Su Luo sniffed. “I’ll be fine in a few days.”

“I bought you medicine. I’ll make you something to eat later. You should take the medicine after dinner.”

“Then 1 want to eat steak, blood pudding, and braised prawns…” Perhaps because she had a cold that affected her sense of taste, Su Luo wanted to eat something with really strong flavors right now.

Xu Jiaojiao frowned. “People with a cold shouldn’t eat those things. You can only have plain porridge.”

Su Luo, who had just perked up, deflated again. “Then I won’t eat anything. I’d rather just starve.”

“After you recover, I’ll make you whatever you want to eat.” Xu Jiaojiao stroked her hair gently like an old mother.

Su Luo reluctantly agreed. “Then let’s have plain porridge today.”

Xu Jiaojiao put some vegetables and shredded meat into the porridge and stir-fried two plates of vegetables. She ate with Su Luo before heading off to wash the dishes in the kitchen.

Su Luo refused to let her go no matter what. “You don’t have to wash it. The housekeeper will clean it up when she comes tomorrow.”

Xu Jiaojiao agreed. She poured a glass of warm water and watched Su Luo take the medicine. At the same time, she told her about what happened last night.

Su Lu had a bad voice so she could not scream. She just grabbed Xu Jiaojiao’s hand and shook it wildly. Then, she downed the glass of water in one gulp. “A toast to your bravery! And congratulations on winning the most difficult man in Luo City.”

“We’re not together yet.” Xu Jiaojiao was a little shy.

“He’s already allowed you to pursue him, so he definitely likes you too!” Su Luo winked at her, almost as excited as if she was the one dating the man. “I told you, didn’t I? From the first time I saw the two of you together, I felt that he was definitely interested in you!”

Xu Jiaojiao picked up her glass and toasted her with water instead of wine. “Thank you, my good-for-nothing strategist.”

“Hey, there’s no need to be so polite.” Su Luo smiled at her. “If you want to thank me, wait until the two of you get together in the future and use his supplementary card to buy me delicious food!!!”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded in agreement and asked, “Did you and Xu Zhengyang quarrel last night?” Yesterday, she and Qi Shenbai had left early. She did not know what happened between Su Luo and her brother after that.

The smile on Su Luo’s lips gradually disappeared. When she thought of what happened last night, she felt melancholic.

Seeing her like this, Xu Jiaojiao could not help but comfort her, “Don’t you know Xu Zhengyang by now? He’s all talk. Don’t be angry with him. He isn’t worth it..”
