Quan Jingzhou’s mind went into a daze when he saw the familiar group.

What did Shen Liao call Chi Jiao just now? Jiaojiao?

They had such a close relationship?

Quan Jingzhou looked at Chi Jiao, whom he had been ignoring, and met her cold gaze.

“Mr. Quan, you underestimated me, so you have to pay the price,” Chi Jiao said with a smile. Her voice was especially sweet, but her words were very sharp.

Quan Jingzhou felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He couldn’t believe it.

Chi Jiao was the one controlling the five families?

How was that possible? What right did she have?!

“Daddy, is Chi Jiao really on good terms with the young masters and mistresses of the five families? Didn’t Quan Jue secretly manipulate everything?” Quan Yan asked in confusion.

He knew that Chi Jiao had a good relationship with the Yan family, but he didn’t expect her to be so capable.

Quan Jingzhou glared at him impatiently. “Don’t ask me. I don’t know anything!”

Quan Yan felt aggrieved by his sharp words.

He was innocent, but his father was taking out his anger on him again.

Quan Jingzhou didn’t want to believe that Chi Jiao, whom he had always ignored, was so capable. Chi Jiao left Quan Jue’s arms with a smile and walked quickly towards Yan Zhengchen and the rest, chatting and laughing with them.

“Jiaojiao, did your god grandmother make this dress for you? It’s so beautiful.” Yan Qingqing held her hand intimately and spun her around.

“God grandmother just finished making it a week ago and asked someone to send it to me. She said it was handmade. I can hardly bear to wear it.” Chi Jiao looked at Yan Zhengchen and the rest and greeted them sweetly as “brother”.

Not only that, everyone, including Yan Zhengchen, had doting expressions on their faces as they looked at her. It was obvious that they doted on their little sister very much.

Quan Jingzhou looked thunderstruck. He felt that his worldview was about to crack.

So it wasn’t Quan Jue, but Chi Jiao. It was Chi Jiao from the Chi family, whom he had always looked down on. She was the one who had a good relationship with the younger generation of the five families and dealt him a heavy blow when he was at his weakest!

Quan Jingzhou was so angry that his chest hurt. He took a step back with a livid expression.

“Daddy, Daddy, are you alright?!” Quan Yan was shocked and hurriedly supported him.

Quan Jingzhou could still maintain his composure. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. “Everyone sure is good at hiding things. Miss Chi, you’re really capable. I’ve underestimated you.”

“Mr. Quan, you were utterly defeated not because you underestimated me, but because you thought too highly of yourself,” Chi Jiao said as she gazed at him.

Quan Jingzhou straightened his slightly messy collar and said unhurriedly, “Miss Chi, you probably don’t know yet, right? Our Quan Corporation is about to cooperate with the Xuan Sect.”

“Oh?” Gong Lu raised his eyebrows and looked at him curiously. “Do you know about this, Quan Jue?”

Quan Jue smiled calmly and shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Gong Lu and the rest instantly understood.

Quan Jingzhou’s claim wasn’t true at all.

The master of the Xuan Sect did not agree to Quan Jingzhou collaborating with them, what right did he have to be so smug?

“Hmph, with Quan Jue’s low status, of course, he doesn’t know anything! This is a collaboration between my father and the Xuan Sect’s Third Elder. Our Quan Corporation is the first company to cooperate with the Xuan Sect!” Quan Yan couldn’t hide his pride.

Yan Qingqing couldn’t help chuckling.

She hadn’t enjoyed such an amusing situation in a long time. Looking at Quan Yan’s proud expression, Yan Qingqing could almost imagine how his face would look after being slapped.

Quan Yan thought that everyone would be amazed and envious. He thought everyone would immediately try to ingratiate themselves with him and his father.
