Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 714: Chapter 703 Celebration Banquet (2)

Regarding what Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei had said, Zhan Kaiyang did not harbor any doubts.

Not just them, even he couldn’t understand, after all, specialization is requisite in any field.

After sealing the documents again, Zhan Kaiyang revealed a cunning smile and shared his entire plan with Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei.

"Tonight, I’ll find an opportunity to take you to the banquet, where you can see for yourselves Qiao Jing being reviled by everyone, and then getting expelled!"

After knowing the entire plan, Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei laughed out loud.

"Tonight we will finally regain our honor!"

"I’ve been fed up with that despicable woman Qiao Jing for a long time; this time, I’ll make sure she loses all her dignity!"

Towards the evening.

Qiao Jing and Zhan Nanqing, among others, arrived early and took their seats at the table at the front.

At that moment, Chi Yuhang followed Chi Chenyun coming over, and several times he seemed to want to offer his arm to the elder, but was refused each time.

Chi Yuhang greeted the two first.

"Doctor Qiao, Miss Zhan."

Qiao Jing nodded her head, her gaze settling on Chi Chenyun, who appeared to be in good spirits.

Seeing that Old Master Chi seemed to have recovered well, she smiled faintly.

"Grandpa Chi, how have you been feeling lately?"

Chi Chenyun quickly nodded and said with a smile,

"Thanks to you! Doctor Qiao, I never expected you to be the world-famous Professor Qiao—cough, cough!"

At this point, Chi Chenyun hurriedly stopped and gave a sheepish laugh.

"Look at me, almost letting the cat out of the bag."

Qiao Jing smiled and pulled out a chair next to her.

"It’s fine, Grandpa Chi, and Chi Yuhang, please take seats here."

Without waiting for Chi Chenyun to speak, Chi Yuhang quickly interjected,

"No need, Doctor Qiao, my grandfather and I will sit at the back table."

The seat distribution meant that the closer one sat to the front, the higher their status in the institute was, and he was just an employee who had recently become permanent. How could he sit at the same table as Professor Qiao and the others?

Chi Chenyun also understood Chi Yuhang’s intention and said with a smile,

"Right, Xiao Hang and I will just sit in the back, I just wanted to come over and greet you."

Watching the restrained behavior of the grandfather and grandson, Qiao Jing pursed her red lips.

"It’s okay, just sit at this table."

As soon as her words fell, Xu Hongzu’s voice rang by her ear.

"Xiao Jing, isn’t this seat next to you saved for me?"

Upon hearing Xu Hongzu’s words, Qiao Jing was momentarily stunned, blinking slightly.

She slowly turned her head and looked up at Xu Hongzu.

"Yes, but..."

Xu Hongzu immediately interrupted Qiao Jing, pretending to be upset.

"Xiao Jing, doing this really hurts my heart. We agreed I would sit by your side, how come someone else is sitting here?"

Qiao Jing coughed, using it to mask her embarrassment.

Earlier, she had decided to let the grandfather and grandson sit at her table upon seeing how constrained they were.

Then she instinctively thought to let Old Master Chi sit next to her but hadn’t expected Grandpa Xu to witness this moment.

Had she reacted in time, out of fairness, she would have arranged for the two elderly gentlemen to sit together.

Just as she was about to explain, Chi Chenyun directly spoke out.

The elder felt very embarrassed as he said,

"Sorry, Professor Xu, actually, I’m not supposed to sit here, I belong at the back table."

Fearing that Xu Hongzu would get angry, Chi Yuhang quickly stepped in to explain.

"Professor Xu, please don’t misunderstand, I’m going to the back table with my grandpa right now,"

When Xu Hongzu saw the grandfather and grandson hurrying to apologize, he asked with a puzzled face.

"Am I that scary? Why the rush to apologize? I was just joking with Xiao Jing. Since Xiao Jing invited you to sit here, let’s sit together."

Chi Yuhang waved his hands, seeming overwhelmingly flattered as he declined again.

"No need, no need, thank you, Doctor Qiao, thank you, Professor Xu."

Zhan Nanqing watched Chi Yuhang fussing about and simply stood up.

She quickly pulled Chi Yuhang aside and then turned towards Chi Chenyun with a smile.

"Grandpa Chi, please take my seat."

She happened to be sitting next to Qiao Jing. By giving up her seat, she wouldn’t be taking Xu Hongzu’s place.

Chi Chenyun looked at Zhan Nanqing, a bit at a loss.

"This, this... how can I accept this?"

Zhan Nanqing exclaimed "Ah" and gently pushed down on Chi Chenyun’s shoulder, making the elderly man sit down.

"Grandpa Chi, please sit. I’ll sit on another side with Chi Yuhang."

When Qiao Jing saw Zhan Nanqing willingly giving up her seat so that both elderly men could sit next to him, a look of relief spread across his face.

This appearance was as if he was watching an immature younger sister who had finally grown up and become sensible.

The harmonious scene at Qiao Jing’s table was seen by Zhan Kaiyang and the siblings, Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei, sitting in a corner.

They all displayed a look of disdain simultaneously.

Zhan Bei’s mouth curled up, his face full of mockery.

"I’ll see how Qiao Jing continues to smile later!"

Zhan Nan simply rolled her eyes.

"She won’t even have time to cry later! But why is Qiao Jing, a mere employee, allowed to sit in such a forward position? Moreover, why is she chatting with Elder Xu?"

Zhan Bei sneered, slightly lifting his chin toward the direction of Zhan Nanqing.

"Look, isn’t that because Zhan Nanqing is there? You know very well how close the Xu Family is with Zhan Qipei’s branch, and how good their relationship is. Qiao Jing is just basking in their reflected glory. Otherwise, how could she possibly qualify to sit at the front table?"

Zhan Nan nodded in agreement:

"Exactly, without the Zhan Family, Qiao Jing is nothing! Once our plan succeeds today, she will have no choice but to go back to the countryside and farm!"

Zhan Kaiyang, seeing that the two siblings were eager to see Qiao Jing be embarrassed, spoke reassuringly:

"Xiao Nan, Xiao Bei, don’t worry, I will take revenge for you two precious grandchildren soon. Our plan is foolproof!"

He had already communicated everything in advance with the staff and had also bribed a waiter responsible for serving dishes to place the documents next to Qiao Jing while serving.

Fortunately, he had seen Qiao Jing carrying a medium-sized handbag today, which was perfect for slipping the folder into.

Upon hearing Zhan Kaiyang’s words, Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei wore satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Thank you, Grandpa, you’re the best to us."

"Indeed, without you, Grandpa, we would certainly only be at a loss!" noveldrama

Zhan Kaiyang smiled and looked at the two, lightly patting Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei on their heads.

"With Grandpa here, how could I possibly let you two suffer? Plus, it’s all that country bumpkin Qiao Jing’s fault!"

While they were talking, guests began taking their seats one after another, and the waiters were busy serving dishes.

One of the waiters, carrying dishes, approached Qiao Jing’s table.

Before taking action, he covertly glanced in Zhan Kaiyang’s direction and, seeing him nod, began the stealthy document placement.

Using the cover of another colleague’s body, he took out a document from his uniform and discreetly slipped it into Qiao Jing’s bag lying beside her.

Zhan Kaiyang watched the waiter complete the task before he finally relaxed.

Shortly after, Xu Hongzu went on stage, ready to begin his speech of gratitude.

"Thank you all for attending this celebration banquet. Achieving this success is something that makes us all very happy..."

Below the stage, Zhan Kaiyang exchanged a glance with a staff member by his side.

The staff member immediately got the hint and headed towards the backstage area.
