1448 She Looked Down on Jiang Xianrou
Qi Lanyin glanced at Jiang Xianrou, who she had once looked down on but was now extremely glorious. She sneered and clenched her fists, then reluctantly answered, “Auntie, I’ll come and find you later.”
“Okay.”
Qi Yan didn’t have time to talk to her alone. She was surrounded in the blink of an eye.
Qi Lanyin clenched her fists and looked at Jiang Xianrou in disdain. Then, she turned around and left without looking back.
…
The Qi family’s power was mainly overseas, but it did not affect Qi Yan’s status and influence.
She was a unique existence in the Qi family.
Even the head of the family, Qi Rongguang, had to give her face. It was because Qi Yan had married into a royal family in Continent O.
Her husband was third in line to the throne, and she herself had been made a countess.
None of that was the point.
The main point was that these royal families had always been closely related to places like the Independent Continent and the illegal district. The forces behind them couldn’t be underestimated.
For Jiang Xianrou to be able to attach herself to Qi Yan, she was definitely considered to have climbed up the social ladder.
Including this time.
Qi Yan was the one who pulled strings for Jiang Xianrou to enter the Pharmacy Association. It took a lot of connections for her to successfully enter the association.
Jiang Xianrou was definitely not qualified to enter a place like the Pharmacy Association.
For that very reason, the Jiang family treated Qi Yan extremely formally. Jiang Yao accompanied her the entire time and introduced Qi Yan to many connections in Beijing.
Qi Yan also gave him enough face and showed a very loving attitude towards Jiang Xianrou the entire time.
Of course, Jiang Xianrou was flattered. She spoke to Qi Yan carefully, afraid that she had not performed well and won the favor of this extraordinary godmother.
She chatted with Qi Yan for a while before saying, “Godmother, I’ll go prepare. Take your time.”
She meant playing the piano.
Jiang Xianrou had already planned to show off her skills in front of Qi Yan this time, so she told Qi Yan that she would play a piano piece for her.
She stood up now.
Qi Yan immediately patted the back of her hand and said gently, “I’ve long heard that you play the piano very well and even won an international award. I haven’t even won an award at your age. It’s already very impressive that you can have such achievements at such a young age.
“Go. I’ll wait for you.”
Jiang Xianrou quickly lowered her head, but she couldn’t hide her arrogance. “Yes.”
She also told Jiang Zongnan and Tang Wanru before leaving.
…
Meanwhile, on Qian Nian’s side.
She first went to the location that Lu Zhi gave her, asked the waiter, and confirmed that this seat was reserved by a Mr. Lu.
She dragged out a chair by the window, sat down, and ordered a lemonade.
The waiter brought the drink quickly.
Qiao Nian drank lemonade while playing with her phone.
Neither Jian Jin nor Lu Zhi had arrived by the time she finished the entire glass of lemonade.
She checked the time.
11:45.
15 minutes to the appointed time.
Annoyed, Qiao Nian got up and picked up her phone, planning to go to the washroom.
She put the peaked cap on and pulled the brim down. As she walked, she sent a message to Jian Jin, telling her that she was going to the washroom.
The Imperial Mansion was very big, and the decor was low-key and stylish.
After sending Jian Jin a message, Qiao Nian put her phone back into her pocket and walked calmly towards the washroom.
