“I’m going to count to three. Think about whether you want to apologize.”
Her lazy appearance did not look intimidating, but if one looked closely at her eyes, they would discover that they were extremely dark and so deep that they seemed to be bottomless. It was terrifying.
Jiang Zongjin knew that Qiao Nian was standing up for him. His eyes reddened. As a man, he almost lost control of his emotions.
His daughter was too filial. He had clearly not done anything for her, but Nian Nian had always stepped forward to protect him.
Jiang Zongjin turned his head away and clenched his fists to hold back the tears in his eyes. He then walked over and pulled the girl’s arm.
“Nian Nian, forget it.”
Qiao Nian did not turn around. She only said, “I’m just a junior. It’s fine if no one respects me. After all, I don’t have much contact with this family. But you’re different. Since they kept saying that they wanted you to apologize, after finding out what happened, they should practice what they preach themselves. Those who have to apologize, do it!”
She returned the money.
It was equivalent to returning the kindness they had shown her in Rao City.
Just as Jiang Xianrou and the others had said, if they wanted to be fair and clear about the split, they had to do it for everything.
Jiang Xianrou was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She frowned and emphasized, “Qiao Nian, my mother is your second aunt!”
“I know.” The girl’s delicate eyebrows raised wickedly. Her dark and beautiful eyes looked at her casually. “She’s my elder, but it’s not like anyone in this world is in the right just because they’re older. There’s no reason for you to be calculative when you want someone to return something, but you make all sorts of excuses and play the family card when someone asks you to follow the rule.
“If you want to be fair, then be fair to the end!”
The scene froze for a moment.
Everyone was suffocated by the girl’s aura.
Especially Tang Wanru.
She could hardly believe that Qiao Nian would dare to ask her to do this.
While Tang Wanru’s heart was in turmoil, she was also shocked and angry. She pointed at Qiao Nian with a trembling hand, but she could not say a word.
The girl still had her brows raised. She did not seem to care about anything. When she really cared, it was as if no one could withstand her seriousness.
“Just apologize.”
It was the same demand!
These words were directed at Tang Wanru.
Tang Wanru looked into the girl’s pitch-black eyes for a second. It was as if she saw the ferocious beast hidden in those eyes about to pounce on her. Her blood ran cold and she looked away.
The way Qiao Nian looked at her was too scary.
However, she had to apologize to Jiang Zongjin in front of the elders, her husband, and her daughter.
Her pride wouldn’t allow it.
Wouldn’t she be trampled all over today if she apologized? How would she face anyone in the future?
“One.”
Qiao Nian had already started counting.
It was obvious that she was not joking with Tang Wanru.
Jiang Xianrou had just been suppressed by her aura. Like Tang Wanru, she could not come back to her senses for a moment. When she did and realized that she had been overpowered by a country bumpkin from Rao City, her face turned green. Her expression darkened as she warned in a low voice, “Qiao Nian, you’re too much! Do you think this house is a place where you can mess around?”
Qiao Nian chuckled. She was quite fearless.
Was the Jiang family a place where she could mess around? Was there a need for Jiang Xianrou to remind her again like a fool?
