The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 640 - 608

Qiao Qiqi put the book into her backpack and left the room with Rong Yuan.

As they stepped out, Qiao Qiqi felt someone watching her, and this sensation made her uncomfortable. Her gaze swept around, but she found nothing.

"What’s wrong?" Rong Yuan asked as he saw her standing still.

Qiao Qiqi shook her head. "It’s nothing, let’s first find Fourth Brother and Xiaoqing."

After they left, a figure emerged from one of the rooms.

To welcome Qiao Qiqi and her friends, Dean Yao had specially instructed someone to buy more meat and vegetables to properly entertain them.

"Taotao, why haven’t I seen Chuchu? Has she been adopted?" Qiao Qiqi called over Taotao, who was happily showing off her new hair clip, to ask.

Taotao ran over and said, "No, she’s still here, but I don’t know what’s happened to her lately, she doesn’t like playing with us anymore and just hides in her room all day."

"Where is she, I’ll go check on her."

"In the room over there," Taotao said before running off to play, carefree.

Qiao Qiqi arrived outside Chuchu’s room and knocked. When no one responded, she pushed the door open and went inside.

"Chuchu, what’s wrong?"

"Sister Qiqi, you’re back." Chuchu struggled to sit up from the bed, her complexion looking quite poor.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Qiao Qiqi frowned.

Chuchu was the prettiest girl in the orphanage, now fifteen years old, someone Qiao Qiqi considered like a little sister she had watched over growing up; they used to be very close.

In her previous life, Qiao Qiqi never returned to the orphanage, so she truly didn’t know what had become of the children there.

"I..."

"Chuchu, are you feeling better? I’ll make you some brown sugar water to drink."

A gentle male voice sounded, and Qiao Qiqi did not miss the flicker of fear in Chuchu’s eyes. She discreetly looked towards the man who had entered. He was not very tall, about a meter seventy or so, fair-skinned, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and seemed plain.

"Who are you?" Qiao Qiqi’s expression instantly turned colder.

"I’m the math teacher who teaches the children at the orphanage, my name is Jiang Tao." The man appeared very gentle, harmless.

But Qiao Qiqi sensed Chuchu’s unease.

"Hello, I’ve often heard the children mention you," Jiang Tao said, smiling at her. "Chuchu isn’t feeling well, I often take care of her. Chuchu, drink some brown sugar water."

"Isn’t it inappropriate for you as a man to take care of Chuchu? Leave right now!" Qiao Qiqi’s expression grew cold, showing no courtesy.

"Sorry, I was just worried about Chuchu’s health, I’ll bring Dean Yao over now," Jiang Tao said, smiling at Chuchu. "Chuchu, rest well, I’ll help you with math when you’re better."

Qiao Qiqi stared icily at him, and Jiang Tao turned around and left.

Qiao Qiqi got up to close the door, then returned to the bedside and looked at Chuchu, asking, "Tell me the truth, has he been bullying you?"

Chuchu quickly shook her head. "No."

Qiao Qiqi frowned at her, clearly not convinced, and asked, "Then tell me what’s going on. Are you having menstrual pain?"

"I... It’s... a bit..." Chuchu murmured, lowering her head.

"..."

"Get some rest, I’ll come back to see you later."

Since Chuchu didn’t want to share, she didn’t push. Qiao Qiqi left Chuchu’s room and made a phone call.
