Chapter 229 - Call Me Xiaofei From Now On (1)
Since Lu Qingfeng wasn't planning to stay the night at the Qiao family's villa, he left with his bodyguard after having dinner with the Qiao family, leaving Qiao Yuhan in his room. He wanted Su Xiaofei to spend more time with her birth father and brother and wanted to give them some privacy.
"Miss Su, I'm sorry if Xiao Han troubles you. I'm aware that he's been trying to get your attention these past few weeks." Qiao Fengying said to Su Xiaofei after sending Lu Qingfeng off. They were walking back inside the villa while Liu Shulan checked on their son and Xi Qian, whom they hadn't seen ever since the two left the dining table.
"It's nothing, President Qiao." Su Xiaofei said politely. "Xiao Han is like a brother to me. He's adorable."
"Miss Su probably didn't know that you have done us a great favor." Qiao Fengying said. When Su Xiaofei didn't say anything and only gave him a confused look, he chucked amusedly.
"Ever since Xiao Han met you, he's been talking a lot about you. He also stopped throwing tantrums occasionally and listened to his mother. He even tried to convince us to move here to Qiying City from Shenjing. I would love to fulfill his request, but alas, it's impossible to also move Qiao Tech's headquarters here." He explained.
Su Xiaofei felt a warmth spread in her chest when she heard it. She didn't know that she had such an influence on her half brother.
"Then I'm glad that I'm able to assist President Qiao." She clasped her hand behind her and followed her father to his study, as Qiao Fengying wanted to discuss more on the project with her.
"President Qiao is too formal, Miss Su. You can just call me Uncle Qiao. You are somewhat part of our small family, given how Xiao Han is fond of you."
"Then, Uncle Qiao it is. Uncle may also call me Xiaofei from now on." Su Xiaofei smiled at him.
Qiao Fengying then opened one of the top drawers of his desk and handed a folder to Su Xiaofei who had taken a seat across from him.
Su Xiaofei opened the file, and immediately, she noticed Lu Qingfeng's neat handwriting at the sides of the document as he left his suggestions. Seeing his handwriting, Su Xiaofei felt a pang of jealousy because her handwriting was a mess compared to him.
Xi Qian had once told her that one's handwriting says a lot about a person. The size of the letters or characters, spacing, as well as how they were written could reveal some traits about a person. Xi Qian told her that since her handwriting was slanted to the right and the characters were written pointed, it could be said that she was a curious person in nature but also could be aggressive and intense at times.
"So, what do you think?" Qiao Fengying's question brought her back from her daze. "I have to say that young man is really something. It's good to have a reliable friend like him."
Su Xiaofei only smiled at that. It hadn't been the first time for her to hear such praises towards Lu Qingfeng. He'd been outstanding and popular ever since they were younger. Some even attempted to befriend her to earn a favor from Lu Qingfeng.
"I'm glad that he's able to help you, Uncle. I don't see the need to add more here, given how he'd already pointed out the issues I wanted to raise." Su Xiaofei didn't think she needed to add more. Most of the things she could remember from her past life had been noted by Lu Qingfeng already.
As she thought about this, the lingering doubt of Lu Qingfeng being reborned like her resurfaced in her mind. Su Xiaofei didn't want to doubt Lu Qingfeng, but she felt that he had grown and changed so much like her over the past months since her rebirth.
Qiao Fengying stared at Su Xiaofei and wondered what made her fall silent.
Su Xiaofei snapped out from her trance and apologized at once.
"Sorry about that. Is there something else I can help you with, then?"
"Mr. Lu said that you were initially planning to become an actress, but you changed your mind." Qiao Fengying said. "But would you be willing to become a brand ambassador of our app once it is released?"
"If that could help you, then I don't mind. I can even be one of your first content creators if you're interested."
"Ah, Xiaofei. I didn't want to trouble you further." Qiao Fengying wasn't expecting that Su Xiaofei was willing to help to such an extent. Her investment, along with Lu Qingfeng's portion, was more than enough to fund the initial development with his project. To ask her to become part of the content creators team would be too much.
"Uncle Qiao is worrying too much. It's not like I'll be doing it anytime soon, right? As one of your investors, I want to proactively participate in every milestone of your project if it's possible. I might not be as smart as Xiao Feng, but if I am able to help you in any way, please don't hesitate to ask me."
Qiao Fengying's gaze on her softened after hearing her words. After their initial meeting months ago, he made some inquiries about Yun Qingrong's daughter and found out that Su Xiaofei was the only child she had with Su Haoran. Because her adoption had been kept a secret, Qiao Fengying wasn't able to dig deeper and find out about Su Xiaofei's true identity.
"If my daughter is still alive, I wish she could be like you." He commented out of the blue, which stunned Su Xiaofei in her seat.
"U-Uncle has a daughter?" Su Xiaofei said, aware of how hard her heart was beating in her chest.
"En." Qiao Fengying's expression turned solemn.. "But I lost her even before I got a chance to hold her."
