125 Face For Them
Soon, Dean Meng and Mr. Zhou as well as Mr. Wu from Minghua College came over as well.
All of them looked really excited.
“I did not expect that Officer Qiao would be here! He is hosting a banquet with County Officer Zhang ahead. Let’s all go and celebrate with them! Oh yes, Madame Qiao and Lady Qiao are both here, so all of you should behave yourselves well…”
All the disciples looked both surprised and overjoyed.
“That is great!”
“Yes, that is such a rare opportunity!”
“Mr. Dean, don’t worry, we will all behave well!”
As they were expressing their excitement, they could not help but look at Shao Yunduan, and they could not help but feel even more jealous.
Shao Yunduan was Officer Qiao’s son-in-law. It must have been for his honor that Officer Qiao had gathered everyone!
Qiao Xuan followed along with the group.
Shao Yunduan looked at her. He could not help but show worries on his face.
Qiao Xuan smiled at him and shook her head slightly. “Don’t worry, they don’t want to be humiliated…”
They wanted to keep their facade and would not do anything to her openly.
Officer Qiao was her father, and the whole family was here, so she needed to greet them, no matter what.
Officer Qiao was having a great time with the folk, and all the officers were watching the show. But they were in a very good position, where they were separated from the others, with guards standing by so the civilians could remain separated.
It was a high spot in that area, where the view was excellent. It was not very close or far away from the bank. It was the perfect place to watch the show, not crowded but bustling.
So when the group came to this place, they were far removed from noise.
They all went up and greeted the honored guests.
Officer Qiao looked chubby and white, wearing a kind and affable smile. He was greeting everyone with politeness, and even chatted for a bit with Dean Meng who was asked to take the seat.
Qiao Xuan bowed and greeted them as well. “Hello, Father, Madame!”
“Oh… you are here? Oh… alright…” Officer Qiao was surprised to see Qiao Xuan here, and he almost burst out the question ‘who are you?’
As he looked closer, he noticed that it was the concubine’s daughter. Otherwise he would have lost his face in front of so many people.
Officer Qiao was very surprised. Somehow he sensed that his daughter seemed to look a bit different from before. No wonder he almost did not recognize her.
But that was a momentary thought which did not lead to any further ideas. He barely met this daughter of his before, and did not know well what she looked like.
But Madame Qiao’s and Qiao Wei’s faces changed. Qiao Wei was almost going to snap at Qiao Xuan, but for Madame Qiao’s reminder.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “You are here too, e and take a seat!”
“Okay, Madame!”
Qiao Xuan smiled and behaved gently, walking towards the seat next to Madame Qiao with posure.
After she took the seat, she looked up and met Shao Yunduan’s concerned look. She smiled at him, trying to console him.
She was right. Madame Qiao would not humiliate her in public.
Not everyone from the college had the seat, except for Dean Meng and some Cultivated Talents. All the others were standing behind the seats.
But Shao Liulang was different.
