Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 217: Chapter 210: Zhan Qipei Caught Me on a Blind Date

Qiao Jing had just arrived at the café when she was drawn into a conversation between a brother and a sister.

“What’s the deal with this Qiao Jing? She’s so late? Doesn’t she have any sense of time?” the sister said irritably.

The brother frowned, “I just got a message from her, saying she was stuck in traffic.”

“Brother! You’re so gullible! She says it’s traffic, and you just believe it? Whatever she says, you swallow? Our family isn’t lacking; plenty of people want to marry you. There’s no need to cater to her whims.” the sister said, displeased.

The brother opened Qiao Jing’s photo, “But she’s really pretty.”

The sister sneered at the photo, “Give me a break, photo deceits are so common nowadays. Look at those internet celebrities; they look like aunties without makeup. And this person in the photo, look at those big, bright eyes, the cute little nose, and that pretty mouth, not to mention the skin, and her figure—my God, it’s frightening.

Such perfect people don’t exist in this world, okay? I bet her real self isn’t even close to —”

She had not finished her sentence when she saw Qiao Jing standing at the door.

Damn!

The sister’s eyes suddenly sparkled, full of disbelief.

The brother noticed his sister’s reaction, turned his head in confusion, and stared, not even realising when he had stood up.

“Hello, hello,” the brother stuttered, quickly pulling out a chair, serving Qiao Jing.

The sister pursed her lips, thinking her big brother was being too attentive.

So what if she’s pretty? Their family is well-off; it’s not too much for her brother to marry a beauty.

“I heard you’re from the countryside? You’ve always been farming in the fields?” the sister scrutinized Qiao Jing as if evaluating merchandise.

The more she looked, the more jealous she felt. She hadn’t noticed earlier, but now, up close, she saw Qiao Jing wasn’t wearing any makeup.

Coming without makeup, that’s so disrespectful to her brother.

Qiao Jing lightly raised her elegantly thin eyebrows, “What, you look down on country folk?”

“Sis!” the brother glared at his sister.

The sister glared back at her brother, thinking he was really something, getting dazed by a pretty face. This was a significant matter like marriage; one shouldn’t just judge by appearances. Some investigation was still necessary.

“Don’t think so poorly of us, I didn’t say I look down on country folk; I was just asking.”

“Well, that’s me,” Qiao Jing responded truthfully.

At this point, Qiao Jing was running out of patience.

“I have something—”

Before Qiao Jing could finish, she was interrupted by the sister’s voice.

“Then I’ll just say it, I have a pretty good impression of you. You also know my brother’s situation by now. Our family got two apartments in the capital from a housing demolition. Plus, my family runs a business, a fruit stand that’s not small, making at least two to three thousand daily in pure profit.

So, a lot of people are after my brother, but he’s picky; he doesn’t like anyone who’s not good-looking. You are quite nice, and my brother is very satisfied.”

The brother blushed, embarrassed, occasionally glancing at Qiao Jing sitting opposite him.

One word—beautiful!

Unbelievably beautiful.

The sister hadn’t finished speaking, “If you marry into our family in the future, just forget about going back to the countryside to farm. If our relatives and friends found out that my brother married a country woman who farms, we might as well throw our family’s face away.

Also, our family runs a fruit stall business and we get up early in the morning. We don’t require you to join our business, you just need to get up around five in the morning, cook for my parents, and throw the family’s clothes in the washing machine. Just take care of the housework and when children come along, just focus on staying at home and taking care of them.”

The sister felt that her words were already quite generous, not even requiring Qiao Jing to work, just to take care of the housework and children, which she thought was really easy.

Qiao Jing stood up and looked at the siblings sitting opposite her, speaking indifferently, “I can’t meet your demands, you should find someone else.”

This statement made the brother anxious.

“Don’t! My sister didn’t mean any harm, she meant that in the future you wouldn’t have to work hard outside, just stay at home and enjoy life. Housework is something you can do if you wish.”

“Brother!” The sister tugged at his clothes.

“You can’t be like this, you’re marrying a wife, not an ancestor! We all live together, why should she be exempt from doing anything?” the sister said, dissatisfied.

“Mind your own business! It’s not you getting married!” the brother snapped.

The sister felt wronged, her brother had never been angry with her before, he was always so good-tempered, but the moment they had this matchmaking session, he turned harsh with her.

This woman is probably a jinx!

“My sister is outspoken, please don’t be offended,” the brother hastily apologized to Qiao Jing, “If you don’t want to live with my parents and my sister, then we can move out and live separately. Our family owns two houses, so that won’t be an issue.”

Qiao Jing frowned.

“Actually, I am already married, but Teacher Qian just doesn’t believe it, insisting that I’m making excuses.”

The brother didn’t take Qiao Jing’s words seriously. “I know you’re still angry, that’s why you said that. In the future, when you live with me, we’ll do the housework together, and if really necessary, we can hire a maid—”

“Brother! Are you crazy? Do you know how expensive a maid is? Our family is indeed wealthy, but not to the extent that we can afford to hire a maid to serve her. I guarantee that if our parents find out about this, they will definitely not agree.

Moreover, you know that our parents want you to find someone honest and hardworking, not someone decorative like her.”

Qiao Jing, tired of listening to the siblings’ argument, turned around and walked away.

As Qiao Jing walked away, the brother, in panic, pushed his sister aside and hurried after her.

He hadn’t caught up when he saw Qiao Jing stop up ahead.

Standing in front of Qiao Jing was an exceptionally handsome man.

The brother, being a man himself, suddenly felt totally inferior.

“What are you doing here?” Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei asked simultaneously.

Zhan Qipei answered first, “This café belongs to my company.”

Hearing Zhan Qipei say this, Qiao Jing then realized, no wonder it sounded familiar—it belonged to Zhan Corporation.

“And you?” Zhan Qipei then asked.

“I—” Before Qiao Jing could respond, the brother came over.

“Miss Qiao, who’s this?” the brother asked, eyeing Zhan Qipei as if he was a rival in love.

He thought he heard earlier that this café belonged to this man. Was that true, or had he heard wrong?@@novelbin@@

Qiao Jing stood beside Zhan Qipei, looked at her brother seriously and replied, “I wasn’t lying to you earlier, I really am married.”

Zhan Qipei slightly narrowed his long eyebrows and examined Qiao Jing with his head tilted.

“Impossible! If you were married, how could Dean Qian have allowed us to have this matchmaking?” the brother exclaimed in disbelief.
