Chapter 366: Jiaojiao, Is This Young Man Your Friend?
“That’s right. If I didn’t take the initiative to greet you, you wouldn’t have come to find me,” Old Master Meng continued, looking a little bitter.
“I just arrived. I saw from afar that Grandpa Meng and Uncle He were busy, so I didn’t dare to disturb you two yet.” Chi Jiao blinked in embarrassment. “I originally wanted to wait for you to finish your work before going to greet you. I didn’t expect to make you angry instead. It’s my fault.”
“Grandpa doesn’t really blame you. Don’t say that about yourself.” After Old Master Meng said that, he looked at Huo Wanwan and Quan Jue. “Jiaojiao, is this young man your friend?”
Huo Wanwan was rooted to the ground as if she had been struck by lightning.
What was going on?
Judging from Old Master Meng’s attitude towards this girl, they not only knew each other, but they were also very close.
Old Master Meng was famous for his strange temper. He seemed to like this girl very much.
In an instant, Huo Wanwan felt like she had choked on a lemon.
The Huo family had always wanted to build a good relationship with the Meng family, and they had put in a lot of effort for this.
Fortunately, Huo Chongjin had seen many storms. Although shocked, he still maintained his smile and greeted Old Master Meng. “Hello, Old Master Meng.”
“Hello, Grandpa Meng.” Huo Wanwan quickly regained her smile and greeted him.
“Mm, isn’t this Wanwan? I haven’t seen you in a long time.” Old Master Meng was still polite to Huo Wanwan, but it was only politeness. He was far from being as enthusiastic as he was to Chi Jiao.
“Grandpa Meng, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Quan Jue,” Chi Jiao said proudly.
There was a smile in Quan Jue’s eyes.
Today, everyone he met had greeted him as the third young master of the Quan family.
Only Jiaojiao gave him a different identity when she introduced him.
She said that he was her boyfriend.
He liked this identity.
“Hello, Old Master Meng.” Quan Jue smiled faintly and greeted him.
Old Master Meng narrowed his eyes and sized him up.
He had long heard that the illegitimate son of the head of the Quan family was attending the banquet today, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it.
From the looks of it, he was a good young man.
Just from his calm and unmoved demeanor, he seemed great.
“Since you’re Jiaojiao’s boyfriend, you’re no longer an outsider. Speaking of which, this is the first time Jiaojiao has had a boyfriend. You’re really lucky,” Old Master Meng said with a sigh.
He originally hoped to introduce his grandson to Jiaojiao, but now that he saw how much Jiaojiao liked this Quan kid, it seemed like there was no chance.
When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but look at each other.
From what Old Master Meng said, why did it seem like Quan Jue was the one climbing up the social ladder by being with this girl?
Wasn’t she just a little girl? She looked like a harmless little bunny with no background, skills, or schemes. Was she worthy of Old Master Meng’s high regard?
Huo Wanwan was also very confused and couldn’t help but look at Chi Jiao a few more times.
Seeing that the smile on Chi Jiao’s face was still clean and flawless, she increasingly felt that this girl in front of her was a little silly and sweet.
“Old Master Meng, don’t worry. Jiaojiao won’t introduce anyone else to you like how she introduced me in the future,” Quan Jue said confidently.
“Haha, you’re an interesting young man. Jiaojiao, you have good taste.” Old Master Meng could tell that Quan Jue was ambitious.
This young man was probably a very proud person deep down. He was only polite to him because of Jiaojiao.
Moreover, he didn’t show any stage fright. His aura was very strong, and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
On the other side, the father and daughter pair from the Huo family were ignored.
Huo Chongjin’s expression turned a little ugly. This was the first time he had been ignored like this.
How could Huo Wanwan stand being treated like she was invisible? She immediately smiled and asked Old Master Meng, “So, Grandpa Meng, you know this young miss?”
