The Ungrateful Scholar 32

Upon hearing this, even Qiao Jingyun's face turned pale. After the physician prescribed some medicine, he left. Qiao Jingyun watched as Qiao Fufeng cried, his eyes red with tears, and her heart ached along with him.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go talk to Shen Qi about this," Qiao Jingyun said, pursing her lips. She didn't know how to bring it up with Shen Qi. If Shen Qi had risen through the ranks with her help, she could have forced her to wait a few more years. But Shen Qi had reached her current position entirely on her own. Bringing up the topic now made Qiao Jingyun feel somewhat uncertain.

Qiao Zhengjun rolled his eyes at her and whispered to Qiao Fufeng for a long time to soothe him. Seeing him trying to put on a brave face, she felt a pang in her heart and cursed Lv Changjia inwardly.

Suddenly learning this news, Qiao Fufeng was not in the mood for joking with his parents. In the afternoon, he returned to the Shen family's residence with a listless expression.
