1641 Junior Sister Isn’t Like Us
Qiao En was the epitome of having his plans backfire on him.
When the assistant saw Qiao En tear the cheque apart, he inhaled deeply. He did not even get the chance to make Qiao En stop. “Prof Qiao…”
Qiao En looked at the shreds of paper in his hand. After snapping out of his fury, he froze. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Use money from my account.”
The assistant touched his nose and muttered softly. “You don’t have that much money in your account.”
It was a hundred million.
However, he ripped it to shreds without a second thought.
He was simply rash.
Qiao En did not know what to say.

As Huo Yao and the others walked back to the hotel, someone from the Math department suggested hanging out together for dinner. After dinner, they could go to a well-known music bar nearby.
Huo Yao was sending text messages on her phone. Since she did not answer, Li Chenhui asked her if she was in.
Meng Jue found out she was in Country M and DO Corporation’s headquarters were also located here, so he kept texting her recently to see if she was free.
Huo Yao raised her head to see everyone looking at her. She replied. “I’ll pass. You can enjoy yourselves.”
“Huh? Why aren’t you going?” asked Li Chenhui quizzically. “Why can’t we have fun together?”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “I’m not interested.”
Li Chenhui wanted to say more, but Wen Ping kicked him in the calf. He turned to glance at Wen Ping.
Wen Ping cleared his throat. “Junior Sister isn’t like us.”
Li Chenhui blinked quizzically. “How is she different?”
Wen Ping raised his hand and rubbed his brow. He said softly in Li Chenhui’s ear, “Junior Sister is dating someone, but you aren’t.”
Li Chenhui instantly felt hurt and went speechless.
“Why don’t you ask your boyfriend to join us too?” Li Chenhui tilted his head. “We’re abroad together for once, so we should relax.”
The moment the suggestion came, Ji Ya automatically looked at Huo Yao standing beside her.
She even tightened her grip on her friend’s arm when the word ‘boyfriend’ popped up.
Huo Yao smiled as she shook her head. “He’s not free tonight.”
Li Chenhui felt disappointed, but he did not insist. “Fine then.”
Huo Yao nodded. She glanced at everyone and said, “Have fun.”
She veered her eyes and continued typing on her phone.
Ji Ya lowered her eyes disappointedly.
Then again, it was unlikely for someone from the Min family to go to the bar with mere students like them.
Ji Ya thought to herself in self-deprecation.
Before long, they took a car to the restaurant.
They had booked a big private room, enough for over ten people. Since they were in the mood, they extravagantly ordered two bottles of red wine.
Huo Yao knew she was not a good drinker, so she did not have a single drop. Also, she did not talk much. She simply sat there quietly and hardly spoke.
By the time they were done with dinner, it was 7:00 pm.
Huo Yao and Meng Jue had made plans to meet at 7:30 pm.
After settling the bill, Li Chenhui and the others used their phones and booked three cars to go to the bar.
“Junior Sister, why don’t we send you back to the hotel first before heading to the bar?” asked Li Chenhui as he turned to look at Huo Yao in concern.
Huo Yao was beautiful, so her senior brothers were worried about letting her go alone.
Huo Yao placed her hands in her coat pocket with her slightly wavy hair hanging over her shoulders. “I’m good. My friend is picking me up.”
