Chapter 234 - 234 Winning the Award
Although his vote represented the school board’s, the older board members were not interested in this kind of thing. In the end, the school board’s vote depended largely on Qiao Jing.
And two of the performances this year involved Qiao Jing’s family members. One involved his fifth brother while the other, his sixth sister. It was unknown which performance he would vote for.
Qiao Xin clenched her fists and looked at Qiao Jing from the audience.
Qiao Jing was related to her by blood. He couldn’t possibly vote for a godbrother who wasn’t his blood relative, right?
Qiao Xin then remembered that since Qiao Yue came to live with them, her second brother had completely forgotten about her. She couldn’t help but look at Qiao Yue.
Why did Qiao Yue have to butt heads with her on everything? Everyone in the family seemed to like him more. Even her own sister had told her not to butt heads with Qiao Yue.
Qiao Xin was furious.
At this moment, the countdown to the school board’s vote appeared on the big screen.
Everyone held their breath, waiting to see who Qiao Jing would vote for.
Except for Qiao Yue, who was chatting with YQ on her phone with her head lowered.
Although she also wished that her class would win the award, the competition was already over, and the rankings had already been decided. It’s pointless to look at the vote now.
The students around Qiao Yue exclaimed when the school board’s vote appeared on the big screen.
“Our class got another 20 points!” Xu Hao grabbed Qiao Yue’s arm and shook it. “Your brother is so loyal. He voted for us. We got this in the bag!”
Qiao Yu wasn’t as excited as Xu Hao, but he smiled.
He didn’t care if his class won the award. He only cared if winning the award would make Qiao Yue happy.
If their class won today because of Qiao Yue’s performance, Qiao Yue would definitely be happy.
“There’s still the vote from St. Faustina’s. Don’t get excited too early.”
At this moment, the spotlight fell on the student representatives from St. Faustina’s Institution. The representative who would vote on behalf of St. Faustina’s was Oswald.
His face was bathed in gold from the follow spotlight in the hall, and he had the air of an aristocrat.
The other noble students from St. Faustina’s looked shabby next to him. In the entire hall, only Qiao Yu and Qiao Jing’s looks and aura could compare to Oswald’s.
The infatuated girls also looked at Oswald.
He smiled, stood up and took a bow, looking very gentlemanly.
“On behalf of St. Faustina’s, I vote for…”
Everyone’s eyes were on Oswald. Right now, Qiao Yue’s class was in the lead, but they were only 20 votes ahead.
St. Faustina’s vote was equivalent to 30 points. If they voted for Qiao Xin’s performance, Qiao Xin’s class would win the award.
St. Faustina’s vote was therefore of utmost importance.
Oswald paused mid-sentence and looked to his right.
Qiao Yue felt his gaze and looked back.
Oswald looked at her and revealed a gentlemanly smile.
“Look, Oswald seems to be looking in the direction of Qiao Yue’s class!”
“Yeah, don’t tell me he’s looking at Qiao Yue.”
“How can that be? One look and I can tell that Oswald isn’t into boys. How can he be looking at Qiao Yue?”
Instead of seeing the plot where Oswald fell for Qiao Yue, the students were more keen for a plot where the noble western boy fell for an eastern classical beauty.
Qiao Yue retracted her gaze and looked forward.
Oswald seemed to be paying too much attention to her, which made her even more suspicious.
“No. 02,” Oswald continued.
02 was the program number for Qiao Yue’s class performance.
On the big screen, 50 points were added to Qiao Yue’s class. Now, there was a 50-point gap between Qiao Xin’s class and Qiao Yue’s.
The students in Qiao Yue’s class were overjoyed. They stood up and hugged each other, screaming and cheering.
“Hong Ning, go backstage and get ready to receive the award!” Someone from the student council called out.
Hong Ning was overjoyed and ran downstairs.
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Jing, who was sitting in the VIP area, and Qiao Jing looked back at her.
He smiled at her. Qiao Yue rarely saw Qiao Jing smile, so she felt an indescribable joy in her heart and smiled back.
Qiao Yu, who was standing on the other side, saw Qiao Yue’s expression. He looked in the direction of Qiao Yue’s gaze and saw Qiao Jing smiling at Qiao Yue.
Qiao Yu suddenly felt bitterness in his heart.
