Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 231: Chapter 223: Marrying Xu Mogian

“Just wait, I'm calling my daughter to cout!” Su Manhan said, making a phone call to Zhan Nanqing right in

front of the security guard, “Nanging, I'm outside the research institute now. The security guard is stopping me

from entering; hurry up and cout.”

“Mom, why did you come? I'm working right now, really.” Zhan Nanging answered the call; everyone around her

was busy working, and she couldn't just abandon her work.

“I've told you before, I'm very curious about what kind of person Professor Qiao really is, so | ctoday.”

Zhan Nanging was shocked, could it be that her mom wanted to force her way in and that’s why the security

guard stopped her?

Thinking of this, Zhan Qipei, fearing Su Manhan might cause trouble, quickly excused herself with a word to Qiao

Jing and hurried out from the research institute.

Upon exiting, she saw Su Manhan confronting the security guard. Seeing her mother in this state gave Zhan

Nanging a headache, “Mom, why did you come?”

“See! My daughter cout. Can | go in now?” Su Manhan raised her chin and said to the security guard as

soon as she saw Zhan Nanging cout.

The security guard glanced at Zhan Nanging but still didn’t speak.

“Oh con, why won't you letin! My daughter is here now!” Su Manhan frowned.

“Mom, other than the staff, no one is allowed to enter the research institute casually.” Zhan Nanging pulled Su

Manhan aside and gave an apologetic look to the security guard.

Really, her mom was such an embarrassment!

“How about you sneakin? | just want to have a look,” Su Manhan whispered.

Zhan Nanging’s suspicion was confirmed. She had signed a confidentiality agreement at the institute; she

absolutely could not reveal any information about Professor Qiao, “The security guard is right here, how am |

supposed to sneak you in?”

“Wait until Professor Qiao comes out, then you can just secretly tell me, it won't be a problem. Besides, I'm your

mom, | won't tell anyone else and make it difficult for you,” Su Manhan whispered, glancing secretly at the

people around.

Zhan Nanging didn’t even have to think before she refused, “I've already told you that | signed a confidentiality

agreement; no matter what you say it’s useless, | won't tell.”

Su Manhan'’s face turned hues of anger; her daughter had been raised in vain.

“If you won't tell, then I'll just guess. I'll stay here all day today; | don’t believe | can’t wait until Professor Qiao

comes out.”

After Su Manhan said this, it just happened to be the tfor the research institute to close. Su Manhan stared

with wide eyes, scrutinizing every person coming out from the institute.

In her mind, Su Manhan ruled out the few old professors who had just cout; she had seen them before.

Not too much later, Su Manhan spotted an unfamiliar face walking out of the research institute.

Su Manhan immediately grabbed Zhan Nanging and asked excitedly in a low voice, “Is it this man? | haven't

seen him before; is he Professor Qiao?”

As she spoke, Su Manhan scrutinized Zhan Nanging’s expression in the dim light, trying to catch any trace of a

clue on Zhan Nanging’s face.

But Zhan Nanging didn’t cooperate in the slightest, “I need to get back to work.”

“No way! You stay right here with me.” Su Manhan grasped Zhan Nanging’s arm tightly, preventing her from

leaving, “Could it be this woman?”

Su Manhan inquired about the female professor who cout.

Zhan Nanging ignored her.

After the random guessing, Su Manhan saw Qiao Jing’s figure and her face showed utter contempt.

She directly passed by Qiao Jing, looking at the person behind her; anyway, Professor Qiao couldn't possibly be

Qiao Jing.

Zhan Nanging chuckled inwardly, Mom, the person you think is least likely is actually Professor Qiao.

Su Manhan'’s eyes lit up at the sight of Xu Hongzu, and she excitedly grabbed Zhan Nanging, pointing to a

certain man, “Is it the man beside Elder Xu? He must be Professor Qiao, right?”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Qiao Jing and Xu Hongzu walked past the two of them.

Qiao Jing glanced indifferently at Zhan Nanging, then looked toward Su Manhan and asked, “Was it this matter

that had you rushing out just now?”

“Yes...” Zhan Nanqing’s attempt to apologize to Qiao Jing wasn’t completed before she was forcefully interrupted

by Su Manhan.

“What does it matter to you what Nanging does? She is Professor Qiao’s personal assistant; do you have any say

over her?” Su Manhan's face was filled with disdain for Qiao Jing.

Zhan Nanging’s expression becextremely weird and complex, tugging at Su Manhan’s clothes with an

unsightly face, “Mom, please stop talking.”

“What am | saying that’s wrong? Nanging, I'm speaking up for you, ah. Qiao Jing isn’t Professor Qiao, what are

you afraid of? With her kind of country girl who cfrom the countryside, being able to step into the institute

was something she must have begged and prayed for!”

Su Manhan proclaimed haughtily.

Upon hearing Su Manhan’s sarcasm, a change appeared on the normally indifferent and aloof face of Qiao Jing.

She slightly raised her delicate brows, “Yet you can’t even manage to get through the door of the institute, can

you?”

The cold expression on Qiao Jing’s face deeply agitated Su Manhan, making her words even more unpleasant.

“Hah! That's because Professor Qiao hasn't metyet; she would definitely letin. Besides, | am Mrs. Zhan;

you're just a bumpkin! What high ground are you pretending to have?” Su Manhan blustered, puffing up her

cheeks despite the swell.

Xu Hongzu, having heard Su Manhan insulting Qiao Jing, was already stewing with discontent. Had it not been for

the fact that they were at the entrance of the institute, he would have already erupted.

Now—

He completely ran out of patience!

“Su Manhan, lettell you, if you continue to talk to Xiao Jing like that, I'll have someone throw you onto the

street, believe it or not?”

“Don’t bother with her; let's go have lunch.” Qiao Jing had no intention of wasting more words on Su Manhan and

turned to leave.

“Xiao Jing, wait a moment.” Xu Hongzu called out.

It was then that Qiao Jing stopped in her tracks, crossing her arms and waiting for Xu Hongzu, “Don’t be too long;

| still need to go grocery shopping.”

what do you think would happen?

“Never mind the other noble houses, my Xu Family would think the quality of the Zhan Family members is

generally low.”

He regarded Qiao Jing as his own granddaughter and would absolutely not tolerate anyone randomly insulting

her.

Moreover, Qiao Jing’s capabilities were even a level below his, Xu Hongzu!

Su Manhan was choked by Xu Hongzu'’s words, opening her mouth but not daring to retort.

Zhan Nanging saw the situation deteriorating and nearly wanted to find a hole to crawl into. If her mother ever

found out that Professor Qiao was Qiao Jing, the look on her face would be worth seeing.

And now, she was still Qiao Jing’s assistant. If this commotion continued, she was sure not to benefit from it,

“Mom, just stop, let's go.”

Su Manhan gave one fierce glare at the unconcerned Qiao Jing, who stood off to the side, and angrily led Zhan

Nanging away.
