Chapter 40: Unworthy

  Ji Qing frowned, this Su Xiao is so rude, you can tell at a glance that she has no upbringing, why would Ji Liang like her?

  What's wrong with me again? Why has Ji Liang been circling around Su Xiao every day since he met her, and never thought of me again?

  Xiao Su finally finished ordering all the super expensive dishes in the store, and Ji Qing frowned at her, thinking about how to bring it up.

  Su Xiao was drinking water from a cup when she suddenly felt like being stared at in a weird way, as if there was something on her face that made him look at her like that.

  Su Xiao suddenly felt that Ji Qing's expression was like a mother-in-law sizing up an unsatisfactory daughter-in-law, with a face full of disdain.

  Su Xiao didn't hide her dissatisfaction and directly rolled her eyes at Ji Qing. Look at her? She might as well just go back.

  Anyway, as long as they have a relationship with Shen Rui, Ou Yang Bing is still somewhat acceptable, the others are not great, and she doesn't care about her image in front of them.

  "Can't you be a bit more imaginative? How could Mengning have a friend like you?" Ji Qing finally couldn't take it anymore and scolded Su Xiao.

  "Pffft... Cough ~ cough ~" Su Xiao spat out the water in her mouth, she felt like she had been startled.

  She's just a little younger than Meng Ning, how can you speak to her in such a maternal tone and blame her for being wrong.

  Gu Muer Ning saw that the situation was a bit off, so she quickly replaced Su Xiao to apologize to Ji Qing, "Qingqing, don't mind her, she's always like this. Don't look at her careless appearance, but in fact, Xiaoxiao is actually a good person."

  "Ah..." "Xiao Xiao." Su Xiao was about to speak, but was pulled by Gu Mo Ning's sleeve and softly scolded, signaling her not to speak.

  Su Xiao silently rolled her eyes in her heart, what bad luck had she encountered these past two days? Last night she was scared by a ghost, and today as soon as she woke up, she discovered that Ji Liang had eaten her tofu, and even said she was ugly. Now even Gu Mo Ning was helping others say she lacked style.

  Su Xiaoyue got angrier and angrier, with a belly full of fire, so she simply picked up the water on the table and poured it down non-stop, drinking non-stop to quench her anger.

  Gu Merning could only awkwardly watch as Ji Qing smiled, today's Ji Qing seemed a bit off, it was better not to provoke her anger, lest she became even more distressed.

  Gu Merning didn't know what had happened to Ji Qing, so she couldn't comfort her and could only remain silent. She also didn't dare say anything to Su Xiao, and could only keep tugging at Su Xiao's hem, but this couldn't stop her either.

  Finally, the dishes arrived, and Gu Mian Ning quietly let out a sigh of relief, and could finally have a good meal.

  Su Xiao slammed the quilt onto the table and picked up her bowl, eating with big, unattractive mouthfuls. Since that girl opposite said she was unattractive, then she'd be even more unattractive, to death!

  Gu Mian Ning was startled by Su Xiao's heavy cup, and with a sideways glance at Ji Qing, she found that her distress had all turned into anger. It seemed like Qingqing was intentionally targeting Xiaoxiao, why?

  Su Xiao ate while also dealing with Ji Qing, directly using her own chopsticks to constantly pick out fatty meat and chili peppers for her, things that most girls wouldn't eat.

  Gu Muer's face was covered in sweat, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He glanced at Ji Qing out of the corner of his eye. Ji Qing's face grew increasingly somber. He then glanced at Su Xiao, who continued eating and serving Ji Qing dishes, without even looking at her once.

  Gu Mornin chose to remain silent and continued eating. These two people seemed to be at odds with each other, one was her best friend and the other was a relatively close younger sister, she didn't know who to help, so choosing to remain neutral was the best thing to do at this time.

  Finally full, Gu Mo Ning put down his bowl and chopsticks contentedly, looking at Su Xiao and Ji Qing.

  Su Xiao had already eaten his fill and contentedly patted his belly, letting out a loud belch in front of Ji Qing.

  She silently lowered her eyelids, just wanting to pretend that she didn't know Su Xiao. It was really too uncool, okay? Even if she deliberately opposed Ji Qing, there was no need to ruin her image like this.

  "Hey, why aren't you eating? You're so thin, you should eat more. Look at all the dishes I've served for you, and you haven't even touched them, what a waste!" Su Xiao deliberately poked at Ji Qing's bowl with her chopsticks, treating the food as if it were Ji Qing herself to vent her emotions.

  "Hmph, you're dissatisfied with me? Does it matter what I look like to you? Since you don't like it, let's make it even more disgusting for you."

  Ji Qing clenched her teeth, finally unable to bear it anymore, and said in a forced calm tone, "A person like you, so rude, without any refinement at all, is completely unworthy of my brother. Would you please keep your distance from him?"

  Su Xiao originally thought that making her angry would make herself happy. But when she dragged in Ji Liang, Su Xiao was no longer happy.

  What's wrong with her not being good enough for Ji Liang? That silly boy, always picking on her, it's clear that he's the one who's not good enough for her!

  Also tell her to stay away from Ji Liang, but in fact it's Ji Liang who comes to bother her every day. It sounds like she's the one who won't let go of Ji Liang. And besides, she didn't even pursue Ji Liang, so why is Qi Qing being so opinionated about her?

  Su Xiao suddenly thought of a question, why was Ji Qing so concerned about Ji Liang, could it be that she liked Ji Liang? Wouldn't that be...

  Su Xiao suddenly felt a little sympathetic towards Ji Qing, it's really pitiful to fall in love with someone who is impossible to be with.

  Ji Qing couldn't understand the meaning of Su Xiao's suddenly changed gaze. She thought to herself, could it be that she felt she couldn't surpass her and take Ji Liang away from her side, so that sympathetic gaze was actually a perverted provocation?

  Ji Qing suddenly stood up and pointed at Su Xiao, saying "Don't be too smug, my brother is just playing around. He won't last long with you."

  Ji Qing said, seemingly still not quite satisfied, picked up the teapot that had been refilled on the table, removed the lid and directly poured it over Su Xiao's head. After pouring, she imitated Su Xiao by heavily putting down the pot, and threw out a sentence "You'd better stay away from him." She walked away with an extremely elegant gait, said sorry to Xiang Su and Su Xiao, took out a pack of tissues from her pocket, and followed Ji Qing out.

  Gu Mornin' was busily wiping Su Xiao's face and hair with paper. There were still a few tea leaves stuck on Su Xiao's forehead, looking somewhat comical. Gu Mornin' carefully picked off the tea leaves and was about to throw them into the trash can when he was stopped by Su Xiao.

  "Leave the tea for me." Su Xiao expressionlessly took the tea from Gu Mo Ning's hand, casually pulled out a few sheets of paper and roughly wiped her face, stood up and widened her eyes to scan the surroundings.

  Fortunately, they chose the best restaurant here, with relatively high consumption and fewer people coming. There weren't many people watching them, Su Xiao swept a glance around, and the onlookers nearby all lowered their heads and stopped talking.

  Su Xiao hummed and pulled Gu Mo Ning out quickly.

  "Xiao Xiao, are you okay?" Gu Mo asked Su Xiao with concern, but also defended Ji Qing, "Xiao Xiao, don't be mad at Ji Qing, she wasn't like this before, she must have just been in a bad mood today."

  "And you're also wrong yourself, you weren't like this before. You've always been great, had good quality and were elegant, but today you just happened to behave so badly in front of her..."

  "Yes, everything is my fault. I'm full of foul language, my behavior is not elegant, I'm rude and lack quality. Don't follow me, don't lower your standard."

  Su Xiao angrily interrupted Gu Moring's words, forcefully shaking off her hand and quickly walking forward.

  Gu Muren hastily walked up and grabbed Su Xiao, explaining, "Xiao Xiao, I didn't mean it that way, I..."
