The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 428 - 426

Chapter 428: Chapter 426
Old Mrs. Qiao stayed here for a month, and then was sent over to Qiao Guangzong’s place.
With the troublemaking old lady gone, the Qiao Family members were all very happy, except for Qiao Yue’er, of course.
In order to show off, Qiao Yue’er had been acting very well-behaved and filial in front of Wu Lening and Elder Rong recently, but Elder Rong was still stingy about sparing even a glance at this girl.
Since the start of the holidays, Ning Xiuyuan hadn’t relaxed for a moment; he was like a spinning top wound tight, forcing himself to study hard every day.
Jiang Yibo and Fu Xinjing were shocked to see his state, fearing that if he continued like this, his body might break down again.
Other than studying, he just studied, and slept for at most four hours, no steel body could endure that.
The two couldn’t persuade him, so they could only turn to Qiao Qiqi for help.
After listening, Qiao Qiqi remembered she had bought a watch for Ning Xiuyuan as a reward for his academic progress, but had been so busy lately that she forgot about it.
Qiao Qiqi called Ning Xiuyuan several times, but there was no answer, so she set the matter aside for now.
At noon, Ning Xiuyuan called back, and Qiao Qiqi picked up.
"Hi, did you call me? What’s up?" Ning Xiuyuan asked nervously, afraid he had missed something, and regretted keeping his phone on silent mode.
But if he didn’t work hard, he feared he would never catch up to her.
"Didn’t I say earlier I was going to give you a gift? When are you free, let’s hang out, you ought to relax a bit."
"I’m free anytime, how about tonight!" Hearing she really had bought him a gift, Ning Xiuyuan’s mood brightened instantly, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Alright then, don’t go to classes this afternoon, take a good rest, and see you tonight. I don’t want to see you looking too haggard." Qiao Qiqi advised.
Ning Xiuyuan had said he wanted to score over 500 in the college entrance examination, and now he had achieved this goal ahead of time; she didn’t expect him to improve so quickly.
After hanging up, Ning Xiuyuan immediately asked his teacher for a leave, set his phone alarm for later, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
His dark circles from all the late-night studying could compete with a panda!
...
At a little past five in the afternoon, Qiao Qiqi set off for the agreed meeting place with Ning Xiuyuan and the others. Just as the car drove out of the villa area, someone suddenly jumped out to block the way.
The driver slammed the brakes, breaking into a cold sweat from being startled. Looking at the person blocking the car ahead, the driver couldn’t help but roll down the window and curse, "Are you crazy! If you want to die, do it somewhere else!"
The person quickly ran up to the window, grabbing onto it and looking inside. When she saw who was sitting inside, her eyes instantly lit up.
"Daughter, I finally found you!" Zhou Xiao’e exclaimed, looking at the girl sitting in the back seat with excitement.
Qiao Qiqi had already seen this woman; a flicker of coldness flashed in her eyes. Indeed, she couldn’t escape— in a past life, Zhou Xiao’e had also found her, not only extorting a lot of money from her parents but also ruining her reputation at school by calling her unfilial!
The driver was dumbfounded, looking back at the girl in the back seat and nervously asking, "Miss, this..."
"Drive!" Qiao Qiqi replied expressionlessly.
"Qiao Qiqi, you think you’re grown now, huh! I’m telling you, I raised you with shit and piss, and now you want to ditch me, not a chance!" Zhou Xiao’e was not one to be messed with; she was known as a shrew in the countryside.
