âPerhaps... Professor Liang Lu suddenly gave them a break?â Zhang Yang casually said. If one listened carefully, one would be able to hear the mockery in his tone.
Qin Si picked up his hand and squinted. He replied directly, âNo! Iâm not free!â
Gather my ass!
CO
This time around, Jiang Xianrou had been too dishonest. After so many years of being friends, he had always treated her as his younger sister. He couldnât say harsh words, but he didnât want to give her any face!
âIâll see whether Sister Qiao is free after lunch in the afternoon. The last time, I said that I would bring her to some scenic areas to have a look. If sheâs free, Iâll take her around.â
Zhang Yang was smart and immediately said, âIâll go with you.â
He also said with a smile, âI happened to earn a small sum of money from speculating in the stock market some time ago. Iâll pay for it if Iâm going in the afternoon. Miss Qiao can feel free to buy anything she wants!â
In their circle, even if someone like Zhang Yang made a small sum of money, it would definitely be in the eight-figure range. They would be too embarrassed to bring it up if it was any less.
Qin Si glanced at him and understood that he was trying to curry favor with Qiao Nian. However, he didnât say anything and tacitly agreed.
Sister Qiao was going to study at Qing University soon, and she would definitely have to stay in Beijing in the future. The more people like Zhang Yang, the better.
He wasnât afraid of a smart person like Zhang Yang, but he was worried that Qiao Nian would meet some mean people and be bullied!
He wouldnât know about it every time. Qiao Nian was someone who wouldnât talk about anything. As her brother, he had to protect her.
Otherwise, he wouldnât be deserving of that title!
Jiang Zongnan really didnât expect Qin Si and the others to come. He looked at the large group of people in front of him in astonishment and couldnât recover for a long time.
When he regained his senses, the first thing he did was look in Tang Wanruâs direction, thinking that it was someone Jiang Xianrou had called over.
But seeing that Bo Jingxing and the rest were here, he felt that Jiang Xianrou might not have been capable enough to call for so many people.
At that time, when Xianrou was admitted to the Qing Universityâs Medical Faculty, the Jiang family had also held a school promotion banquet. At that time, Old Master had not retired yet. Many people had come, and all of them had high statuses, but they were not as big-shot as todayâs guests. Qin Si, Zhang Yang, Bo Jingxing... Jiang Zongnan looked around and saw Luo Qing and the others, all of whom had given him gifts and red packets.
Their words were the same.
âUncle Jiang, we heard that Miss Qiao (Sister Qiao) is holding a school promotion banquet here today and came over at the last minute. We didnât let you know beforehand, do you mind?â
At first, Jiang Zongnan thought that they were giving Jiang Xianrou face. Later on, although he felt that Jiang Xianrou might not have that much face, he didnât think that it was her they were being respectful towards. Hearing that everyone was here for Qiao Nian herself, he opened his mouth and his body stiffened. He reacted quickly and said, âHow could I mind? Quick, please come in. Iâll bring you to your seats.â
Qin Si and the others also walked past Tang Wanru without looking at her, let alone greeting her.
A group of people came from Qin Siâs gang and the Ninth Branch. When Ye Lan and Ye Maoshan brought Ye Qichen over, it was not as shocking. Tang Wanruâs expression was stiff the entire time. She smiled obsequiously, but her actions were a little awkward and numb.
Qin Si didnât greet her, and Yuan Yongqin ignored her. Even Ye Lan and Ye Maoshan, who came from behind, pretended not to see her.
One person was like this, two, three... Everyone was like this. Even if she was a fool, she could tell that these people were helping Qiao Nian! They felt that Qiao Nianâs auntie had treated her harshly, so they were all giving her face!
