Jun Shu couldn't help but feel puzzled by Qiao Xi's question. "Mrs. Qi, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. You are Jiuge's friend. Don't you know that she is the third daughter of the Jun family?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi subconsciously glanced at Jun Jiuge and said with a smile, "She doesn't know that I'm Mrs. Qi either. This way, I don't have to feel sorry for hiding my identity from her. She also hid it from me."

Jun Shu smiled knowingly and said, "When making friends, it's all about sincerity. The other person's identity is actually not important."

"Miss Jun is right." Qiao Xi agreed wholeheartedly.

Jun Shu then said to Qiao Xi apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Qi, my grandfather is waiting for Jiuge to come back."

Qiao Xi quickly stepped aside to give Jun Jiuge enough space to walk out, "Please do as you please."

Jun Shu quickly hinted to Jun Jiuge, "Jiuge, Grandpa is waiting for you, come with me."

Unfortunately, Jun Jiuge didn't seem very willing. She looked at Qiao Xi deliberately and asked, "Qiao Xi, don't you have something to tell me?"

Qiao Xi, “…”

Following Jun Jiuge's hint in her eyes, Qiao Xi probably understood the word "help", but she didn't express it very clearly.

Qiao Xi deliberately said: "It's not too late..."

The word "no" was forced back by Jun Jiuge's eyes. Qiao Xi could only cooperate with her request and said to Jun Shu: "Miss Jun, can I borrow Jiuge first?"

Jun Shu was slightly stunned when she heard such a request, but considering Qiao Xi's status, she agreed, "Of course."

"Then let's..." Qiao Xi grabbed Jun Jiuge's hand and gestured to Jun Shu.

Jun Shu immediately understood and said, "I'll tell grandpa. I'll come find her after you finish talking."

"Okay, thank you for the trouble." After saying that, Qiao Xi took Jun Jiuge's hand and walked away in front of them.

Jun Jiuge tried to break free from Qiao Xi's hand several times, but in order to avoid those people, she had to hold back.

When they got to a place where there was no one around, Jun Jiuge immediately shook off Qiao Xi's hand like a shy little girl. Qiao Xi felt guilty like a hooligan who was taking advantage of a little girl.

Maybe it’s due to psychological reasons. In her eyes, Jun Jiuge is just a little girl, while she herself is already an old aunt.

"Jun Jiuge." Qiao Xi repeated her name meaningfully, then looked her over and said, "Why didn't I think of this before? There aren't many people with the surname Jun, and I never thought you would be the third daughter of the Jun family."

"No." Jun Jiuge denied it flatly, and added, "I don't want to have anything to do with the Jun family."

From the fact that she doesn't want to go with her sister to see Mr. Jun, it can be seen that she may have some conflicts with them?

Qiao Xi opened her mouth and was about to ask, but held back, "Forget it, I won't ask. You won't tell me even if I ask."

Anyway, we already know her identity today, which is enough. We can learn the rest later.

If she didn't ask, Jun Jiuge would definitely not tell her on her own initiative, but some people seemed to completely ignore her help and still looked indifferent.

Qiao Xi was never polite to such people. "You used me as a shield this time, so I helped you. You don't have to repay me. I just hope we can be more honest with each other in the future."

Since she was unwilling to say thank you, Qiao Xi had to remind her.

Jun Jiuge still had no intention of thanking her, and even threatened her coldly, "If you want to be your wife Qi, stay away from me."

"Reason." Qiao Xi continued her words without changing her expression.

Jun Jiuge said with a sudden serious expression: "People who get close to me will not have a good ending."

Qiao Xi didn’t know what kind of secrets she carried, nor did she know what she had experienced, but for someone who had died once, it was nothing.

"I've died once, so nothing can scare me anymore." Qiao Xi said fearlessly.

Jun Jiuge didn't doubt what she said, nor did he find it strange. Instead, he changed his way of warning her, "If you don't want to die again."

Qiao Xi smiled disapprovingly, feeling that it was pointless to say more, so she simply said, "If you need me as a friend."

As she said this, she looked at Jun Jiuge with an extremely sincere and affirmative look.

It was also at this moment that Jun Jiuge seemed to be touched deep in her heart. She lowered her eyes slightly, and the next second she clenched her hands tightly. When she raised her eyes again, she resolutely turned around and took a step forward.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but call her, "Where are you going?"

"Silence him." Jun Jiuge said bluntly.

Qiao Xi followed and asked, "What do you want to silence?"

Jun Jiuge suddenly stopped and said to her seriously, "They all saw what you looked like just now. You probably don't want your identity to be known."

Qiao Xi blinked at her a few times, not quite reacting, and then suddenly realized and agreed, "It's true."

Jun Jiuge took another step forward, his determination to silence the witness extremely firm.

"Come back!" Qiao Xi chased after her again and tried to dissuade her, saying, "There's no need to go through the trouble of silencing them. As long as they're here, it'll be easy."

Jun Jiuge seemed to have heard it, but after a while she walked forward again.

Qiao Xi continued to chase her, wanting to cry but unable to, "Where are you going now?"

"See you later." Jun Jiuge suddenly quickened his pace and disappeared at the end of the corridor in a short while.

Qiao Xi silently watched Jun Jiuge's back as he left. How should she explain to Miss Jun at that moment?

What if Miss Jun comes to ask for the person and she can't hand him over?

Alas, in the end she had to bear everything!

But... they are real friends now. When Jun Jiuge said the word "silence", she admitted that they were friends.

Qiao Xi could only go back to Qi Jincheng in shame. If Miss Jun really came to see her, she would have no choice but to apologize to her.

Qi Jincheng was getting a little anxious waiting. He opened the door and was about to go find her when he ran into her at the door.

"Xier, why did you take so long?" Qi Jincheng reached out and hugged her into the room.

Qiao Xi originally wanted to go look for her uncle, but instead of finding him, he was taken away. She looked around the house, but still no sign of her uncle. She subconsciously asked, "Has my uncle not come back yet?"

Qi Jincheng replied knowingly, "We should go to your grandfather's place."

Qiao Xi thought about it and thought so. She suddenly frowned with regret and said beautifully, "I don't know where Grandpa and Master Jun are."

Although she didn't know, Qi Jincheng knew. Just as Qi Jincheng was about to tell her, Qiao Xi suddenly said, "I just met a classmate."
