Chapter 1258: Chapter 1254: Too Scary
“Madam, hello.”
Qiao Xiaren walked over, without any special emotion, while the madam was startled and straightened her spine: “I really didn’t expect it would be you.”
On the surface appearing calm, the madam felt her heart roaring inside.
Who could have thought it was the same person!
It’s unlikely Qiao Xiaren’s fans could believe it even if hit by a hammer, that this would be the same person! The idol they admire and support daily turned out to be the legendary top socialite!
Who could believe it?
Who can believe this!
It’s too shocking!
The madam thought expressionlessly for a while, then slowly revealed a smile: “Since it’s you, I’m relieved. I’ll come to pick you up then, Xiaren, perform well!”
Initially worried, now completely carefree.
“Thank you, madam.”
The old man slightly rose: “Xiaren, help me see the madam out.”
The madam left with bodyguards and a chauffeur; the old man, after sitting for so long, unusually had such a late night and was somewhat tired.
Qiao Xiaren nodded and escorted the madam out. The two were pretty close, and the madam turned to glance at her: “You really startled me today, why didn’t you give a heads-up earlier.”
Even now, her heart still raced.
Qiao Xiaren smiled, passing through the corridor with her, as the light cascaded down, a smile crawled up: “If you know many things in advance, doesn’t it lose its meaning? Isn’t it nice for life to have surprises sometimes?”
Madam: “…”
Did I only feel pleasantly surprised?
Walking a stretch, Qiao Xiaren glimpsed a car parked not too far away, its headlights suddenly brightening, glaring in the Dark Night.
“Madam.”
The bodyguards in black had approached, standing beside the madam. The madam raised her hand, stopping the guard’s next utterance, her gaze returning to Qiao Xiaren: “I’ve observed people for years, yet it’s the first time seeing a woman like you. I admire you; if you didn’t already have a boyfriend, I’d make a move for my son.”
How to put it, she’s a person hard to discern.
Obviously very young, holding a peculiar yet fitting aura.
Qiao Xiaren: “Madam, you flatter me.”
Watching the madam leave, Qiao Xiaren returned to her room.
Time flew by swiftly, soon reaching the adult ceremony.
Qiao Xiaren basically got up at three, Shangguan Xue slept until five, only to be dragged out of bed by her mother lingering outside her door for nearly an hour.
Today was a very special day, with the leader setting aside their status, personally presiding over the coming-of-age ceremony of young ladies from the four major families, blessing them upon their adulthood.
Many were paying attention to this event, even with platforms streaming it live. The leader wasn’t as serious and formal as usual, instead possessing a more approachable demeanor.
Qiao Xiaren glanced at herself in the mirror, feeling that illusion again. The mirror reflected a very young face, the original true self, the Qiao Family’s eldest daughter.
After two lifetimes, she finally saw herself. Not the orphan with no support, nor the one struggling in the entertainment industry without hope or warmth, Qiao Xiaren.
Due to some things fate brought, she was deprived of living a pampered life, forcibly transitioning from Princess heading towards Queen…
