Chapter 219: Disliked by the Second Brother

Lu Zhanxing had been persistently staying away from home, and it wasn't because his work kept him so busy he had no time.

He was intentionally not coming back, avoiding prolonged contact with his family, protecting them.

Qiao Yun felt a sense of relief.

She had wondered before, did her second brother dislike her?

Now it seemed, there was a reason for everything...

...

Xun Minzhi stiffened as she followed Qi Lu into the drawing room.

The room was occupied by six well-known senior scientific research professors.

Their gazes toward her were indescribable by Xun Minzhi, but they felt anything but friendly.

Surprised, yet not showing it outwardly, Xun Minzhi kept her composure and politely greeted each one in turn.

Their responses to her were lukewarm at best; they barely nodded in acknowledgment.

Suppressing the strangeness she felt inside, Xun Minzhi just assumed that's how aloof the big shots were.
