He wanted to ask the teachers and parents what was going on. What explanation was the parent asking for?
He genuinely had no idea.
But Qiao Chen, who was standing behind him obediently, knew exactly what was going on. Her face went pale and she lowered her head, biting her lip. She tried her best not to attract any attention.
Her heart was racing and almost jumping out of her chest.
It seemed like Wu Jie had successfully blown up the matter of Qiao Nian hitting someone. She was even smart enough to get the parents to create trouble at school… As she guessed, the school dared not defend Qiao Nian so openly, and the time had finally come for the school to settle the issue.
She dug her fingernails into her palms. Her eyes were flickering, and she was excited but also uncertain. She had no idea why Qiao Nian called her here.
Also, Shen Jingyan’s attitude towards Qiao Nian made her feel even less confident about the situation.
Qiao Nian had beaten Wei Qi up and then pulled strings to settle the matter. Even if Uncle did not want to hold it against Qiao Nian on the account that they were relatives, he shouldn’t be acting like he was afraid of her.
Having spent a month in Beijing, Qiao Chen was very clear about the Shen Family’s status. She knew how capable her uncle was and how many high-profile figures were in touch with the Shen Family on a daily basis.
No matter how good Qiao Nian was, which meant that even if she did well enough to enter Qing University and had a rather well-to-do biological family… all of these added up would still not allow her to surpass the Shen Family. She had no idea why Shen Jingyan had to be so nice to her.
Qiao Nian saw the girl behind Shen Jingyan and her hands balled up into fists.
She smiled almost evilly and put her arms akimbo as she glared coldly at Shen Jingyan, who had asked her the question. Her voice was slightly hoarse and threatening as she said, “It’s nothing much. Qiao Chen told my classmates that I beat someone outside until he became crippled. Now they’re asking me for an explanation, wanting to make things public.”
Qiao Chen looked up and widened her eyes. She couldn’t believe that Qiao Nian said it so plainly and directly in front of everyone!
She was saying that Qiao Chen instigated Wu Jie!
Was she not afraid that Qiao Chen herself would not admit it?!
Qiao Nian glanced at her calmly and with indifference as if she did not know fear.
“You said you beat someone…” Shen Jingyan doubted his hearing and subconsciously repeated what Qiao Nian said. Then, he stopped himself and turned to Qiao Chen hiding behind him. Although he was trying to suppress his anger, his tone was not too pleasant. “Chen Chen, what exactly is going on!”
Qiao Chen hadn’t expected him to ask her about it instead of Qiao Nian. Seeing how angry he looked, her heart pumped wildly and her face went pale. She opened her mouth, shook her head, and denied it. “I- I didn’t.”
Then, she calmed herself down and looked aggrieved. She went on, “Uncle, you know that I spend all day practicing on the piano with Aunt. I didn’t even come to school, how could I find trouble with her…”
This was true.
Shen Jingyan furrowed his brows slightly, but his features had softened. He turned back to Qiao Nian and asked, “Nian Nian, did you get it wrong? I was at the Qiao household as well. She isn’t lying, she really spends all day practicing on the piano with Aunt Wei. She doesn’t even have time to be on her cell phone.”
Qiao Nian didn’t want to beat about the bush. Her gaze was piercing as she asked him, “Then, how does Wu Jie know about Wei Qi’s matter?”
