She thought that it was a message from Shen Qingqing and the others asking when she would be done. She picked up her cell phone and looked down at the message in front of Shen Qiongzhi and He Yujuan.
In the end, the person who sent the message was not Shen Qingqing and the others.
Instead, it was Wei Lou.
His message was very simple. It could be seen that he was in a bad mood. [The time of my grandfather’s funeral has been decided. It will be at the Wei residence at 9:30 AM the day after tomorrow. Do you have time to come?]
Old Master Wei’s funeral had been set?
Qiao Nian had already forgotten about He Yujuan and Shen Qiongzhi. At the thought of Old Master Wei, she pursed her lips and tapped her pale fingers to reply.
[QN: I’ll be there on time.]
Seeing that the message had been successfully sent, Qiao Nian put down her cell phone.
Her mood was not as good as before.
Looking at He Yujuan and Shen Qiongzhi, who were still pestering her, she did not have the patience like a while ago. She just took a look at them and picked up her bag to leave. “Do you think I care about my reputation? Anyway, my reputation is just like that. It’s not much better. Go ahead if you want to go to Qing University to cause trouble. You don’t have to inform me anymore.”
He Yujuan and Shen Qiongzhi’s hearts sank.
Qiao Nian’s words made it clear that she was unmoved by force or persuasion.
Shen Qiongzhi did not give up. She reached out and wanted to pull her back. “Nian Nian.”
The girl nimbly dodged her outstretched hand and looked at her coldly. She said concisely and without giving her any face, “Madam Qiao, you don’t have to force yourself like this. We already made it clear that from the moment I walked out of the door when I left the Qiao family back then: we are strangers. I don’t take advantage of the Qiao family, and you guys pretend not to know me.”
Shen Qiongzhi said this herself.
Her exact words were even worse.
She had said, “Qiao Nian, since you’ve found your biological parents, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. In the future, you’ll have nothing to do with the Qiao family when you return to Luohe. You don’t have to say that you’re my daughter outside, and I won’t sponsor you anymore. Of course, I won’t take advantage of you if your results are good in the future and you finish your studies. We’ll part on good terms and pretend that we never knew each other.”
She spoke freely then!
That was because she thought that Qiao Nian’s biological parents were poor teachers from Luohe County.
How promising could a daughter from an ordinary family with no background be? She would just get into a good university and find a job in the future.
Could she compare to Chen Chen, who had a good family background and an elite boyfriend?
Besides, Qiao Nian’s grades were average back then. Not to mention a good university, even getting into a university was a problem.
At that time, she had never thought that their positions would be reversed one day. They would become insignificant, and the free blood bag that she looked down on would become an existence that they could not reach.
How ironic fate was!
“I…” Shen Qiongzhi still wanted to defend herself, but she felt too uncomfortable. Her heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. She did not want to lower her head, but she had to lower herself for Qiao Chen.
“I always remember what Madam Qiao told me at that time. I never thought of taking advantage of the Qiao family. Similarly, I hope you remember what you told me. We’re strangers after I leave that door. Please don’t call yourselves ‘Mom’ and ‘Grandma’ in front of me in the future. It’s meaningless. You probably think it’s a mouthful, too.”
The girl’s voice was light and casual. She was just stating the truth, and there was no mockery in it.
