Elder Mr. Lin was not in the mood to appreciate the Duan inkstone because he was displeased with Yan Xu and his daughter, but seeing his old friends being interested, he naturally did not want to dampen their enthusiasm, so he asked Lin Xiao to fetch it.
When Qiaoxu came out of the restroom, she bumped into Lu Xintong in the corridor.
Compared to those few occasions when she was arrogant and domineering, Lu Xintong looked considerably haggard now.
Lu Xintong didn't expect to meet Qiaoxu when she went to the bathroom, and her gaze immediately sank.
Qiaoxu thought she would come to pick a fight like those previous times, instinctively covering her stomach and subconsciously becoming defensive.
Seeing Lu Xintong quickly looked away from her face, as if she hadn't seen her at all, she walked past her.
Seeing this, Qiaoxu wouldn't initiate a greeting with her either. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Lu Xintong's voice speaking stiffly:
"I'm sorry."
