How could Qiao Nian manage to get into Class A?
âGet it wrong?â Cai Gang didnât hear him clearly.
Qiao Weimin snapped out of his daze and looked at Cai Gangâs curious expression. He swallowed the thought âQiao Chen only managed to get into Class B, how could Qiao Nian possibly get into Class A?â instead of voicing it. He then quietly said, âN-Nothing much.â
He remembered what he was here for today. After some struggle, he finally said, âSo, Officer Cai, regarding Qiao Nianâs fight...â
Cai Gang immediately continued, âOh, about that.â
He had received five calls on the way hereâfrom his direct superior to Jiang Zongnan, to Cheng Feng Corporation, to the Wei family, and even someone from Beijing...
Every one of them was superior to him, and he was so stressed out by the calls that he didnât even manage to finish his meal. He rushed here right away.
Qiao Weimin seemed rather embarrassed, and he turned to glare at Qiao Nian as if blaming her for causing trouble. He then smiled awkwardly at Cai Gang and said, âThis child can hardly be disciplined since she was a child, unlike her younger sister. Sheâd just found her biological parents a few days ago and went to live with them. I only found out about the trouble she caused now.
âAlthough sheâs no longer under my care, sheâs lived with us, after all. I donât wish to see her get into trouble outside. What Iâm trying to say is that we can compensate these people whatever amount theyâre asking for, as long as this situation can be settled...â
He caught a flicker of elitism and arrogance in the corner of his eyes. He didnât even bother to ask if Qiao Nian was agreeable to it. It was as if he should decide it all on his own.
He made his relationship with Qiao Nian very clear, putting distance between the two of them but making himself sound like a nice man.
But he spoke fiercely to Qiao Nian when he turned to her. âQiao Nian, youâd better apologize when you go down with me later!â
Qiao Nianâs eyes were dark, and she seemed fierce and opinionated. She firmly said, âIâm not going.â
Qiao Weimin was about to spit fire, but in order to maintain his image, he suppressed his anger. However, his expression was obviously dark as he lectured her through clenched teeth. âYouâre so stubborn!â
No wonder they said children were just like their parents!
Cai Gangâs smile stiffened a little as he watched their tense interaction. He re-evaluated Qiao Weimin and was colder towards him now as he cut him off.
âChairman Qiao, did you find out exactly what happened before you came over today?â
âThis... I did hear some stuff about it...â Qiao Weimin didnât want to go into detail and appeared rather upset about it. âI donât even need to think about it, itâs surely she who caused the trouble.â
Aunt Chen had told him over the phone that Qiao Nian had stood up for her over her stall, and someone called the police on Qiao Nian because of that. The policemen then came and took Qiao Nian to the police station.
At the end of the day, it was all because of Qiao Nianâs strong-headed personality!
Why was she poking her nose into othersâ businesses, anyway!
It was just like what Chen Chen had told him previously. Qiao Nian had jumped into the river to save a child without even knowing what had happened. Thankfully, nothing went wrong. But if Qiao Nian hadnât managed to save the child eventually, resulting in his death, wouldnât she have had to take responsibility for it?
He took matters into his own hands and admitted to the fault on Qiao Nianâs behalf. âOfficer Cai, I know that she caused trouble for you. Could you take it that youâre doing me a favor...â
The Qiao family was rather renowned in Rao City, so it wasnât strange that he was making this request as a well-known businessman.
But it seemed like Cai Gangâs expression towards him was getting colder and colder, making Qiao Weimin feel as if heâd made an inappropriate request.
