The waiter looked curiously in Qiao Nian’s direction when he brought the drinks.
His eyes seemed to be saying, “Why is this girl so insensible? It’s only been a while, but she has already made the old woman cry.”
Qiao Nian felt her gaze on her. Her pure black and white eyes glanced at her.
The waiter immediately placed the lemonade in front of her, not daring to look at her any longer. “Your coffee is here. Please enjoy.”
He walked away quickly.
He was gone in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Nian held the glass in her fair hand and did not pick it up. Her fingers rubbed against the edge of the glass as she looked at He Yujuan, who was crying in frustration. Her tone was cold as she said, “Did you ask me for a drink just to say this?”
Shen Qiongzhi comforted the teary-eyed He Yujuan and looked at Qiao Nian unhappily. She endured it and said, “Nian Nian, look at how much your grandmother is crying. She’s already so old and has only begged you once. Why don’t you just let it go? I know Chen Chen did something wrong this time. Can’t I ask her to apologize to you? Can you sign the agreement? It’s just a signature.”
With that, Shen Qiongzhi took out a stack of A4 paper from her bag. The words “Agreement of Understanding” were printed clearly in bold letters.
It was obvious that they had already made preparations and were just waiting for Qiao Nian to sign.
Qiao Nian smiled irritably and looked at her with hostility. She sneered. “Don’t tell me you’ve prepared a pen for me too?”
Shen Qiongzhi actually did not hear the mockery in her words.
Thinking that she was willing to sign it, she quickly took out a black fountain pen from her bag and placed it on the table. “I was afraid you didn’t bring a pen…”
Qiao Nian smiled.
Instead of taking it, she leaned back and folded her hands. She looked at the two of them with extremely cold eyes. “Give it up. I won’t sign it.”
“Nian Nian…” Shen Qiongzhi became anxious. She couldn’t sit still and wanted to say something.
He Yujuan, who had been wiping away her tears and snot, finally couldn’t take it anymore. She rolled her eyes and was so angry that her face turned pale. She slammed the table and raised her voice. “Qiao Nian, Chen Chen is your sister! You’ve already caused her to be unable to go to university. What else do you want? Do you want me to die? We’ve raised you for 18 years for nothing! Even dogs will wag tails for their owners. What about you? You only know how to bite!”
At this point, Qiao Nian could not be bothered to maintain the pretense with them. She asked her bluntly, “Didn’t you raise me just to draw blood from me for Qiao Chen every month?”
He Yujuan instantly deflated like a poked balloon. A little embarrassed, she refused to look her in the eyes and said stubbornly, “Even so, we still raised you. That’s a fact. You’ve been eating and drinking at our house for all these years. You’ve enjoyed everything in our family. What’s wrong with us wanting a little of your blood? Haven’t you grown well until now?”
She spoke loudly, like a shrew.
It immediately attracted many people’s attention.
Some people did not understand what was going on, but they knew Qiao Nian.
They immediately pointed at them.
“Isn’t that the freshman from this year? What’s her name again? Qiao… Qiao Nian? What are they doing? Are they arguing?”
“I heard her grandmother talking about her. I don’t know what she was talking about.”
“That old woman is already so old, but she doesn’t give in. Fortunately, she has a beautiful face. She doesn’t even know the basic principle of respecting the old.”
“That’s right. No one quarrels with their grandmother. No matter how wrong an old person is, they’re our elders.”
