Taking advantage of her age, He Yujuan decided to go all out. She gritted her teeth and put on the face of a shrew. “Qiao Nian, don’t think that you can be lawless just because you know a few people. Let me tell you, I’m not afraid. I’m already old. I won’t live for long, anyway. I’ll go to your school and make a fuss if you don’t sign the paper. I’ll block the entrance of your school every day and shout. I don’t believe that you’re that shameless.
“If you are, fine. Let’s see who’ll be more shameless! I’m not studying in your school, anyway. At most, I’ll throw away my face and ruin your reputation. Do as you see fit!”
Shen Qiongzhi pulled her back and pretended to be a good person. “Mom, didn’t we agree to talk to Nian Nian properly? Why are you doing this?”
She said as if she had no choice, “Nian Nian, look at your grandmother. You know her temper. I can’t persuade her, either. She’ll definitely do what she says. Why don’t you sign the letter of understanding? It won’t be a loss to you.”
Qiao Nian looked at them, one playing the good cop, the other the bad cop. They were putting on a vivid performance in front of her. She suddenly sneered and raised her eyebrows. She looked at them and asked, “Do you think I can’t finish Qiao Chen off?”
He Yujuan and Shen Qiongzhi were shocked by her words.
One stopped making a scene and the other stopped persuading.
Qiao Nian slowly unfolded her hands. Her eyes were icy when she looked at them.
“Feel free if you guys want to go to Qing University to cause trouble. I don’t care.”
She stood up, her tone casual.
However, Shen Qiongzhi and He Yujuan felt as if a fishbone was stuck in their throats. They couldn’t say a word.
They did not dare to go…
They didn’t know the people around Qiao Nian, but they knew that they couldn’t afford to offend her.
Before Shen Qiongzhi came to find Qiao Nian, she had already cried and begged her younger brother many times. Shen Jingyan had clearly told her that the Shen family could not afford to offend the people around Qiao Nian.
They were people whom even the Shen family could not afford to offend.
She couldn’t imagine what kind of people surrounded Qiao Nian.
She instigated He Yujuan to cause a scene here, saying that she wanted to go to school to make a scene. She had no choice.
However, she was just taking a gamble. She was betting that Qiao Nian wanted to save face and would not let them go to school to cause trouble.
Would she really dare to go now that she had lost the bet?
Shen Qiongzhi was angry and anxious upon seeing that the girl was about to leave. In a moment of desperation, she grabbed the girl’s arm and said anxiously, “Qiao Nian, can you let Chen Chen off? Chen Chen really can’t have a criminal record. Her life will be ruined. You grew up with her. She’s still your sister even if she’s in the wrong. You’re her sister. Can’t you give in to her? Huh? I’m begging you.”
Qiao Nian looked at her hand solemnly for a second before looking away again. Her face was expressionless. “I’ll say it one last time. Qiao Chen is 18 years old. She’s an adult. She should have considered the consequences before doing anything. Since she did it, that means she can bear the consequences.
“I won’t sign the letter of understanding.”
Shen Qiongzhi let go of her hand as if she had lost her soul. Her eyes were already red. At this moment, she felt extremely bitter. She looked at Qiao Nian with a pair of dazed eyes and muttered softly, “If you don’t sign the letter, Chen Chen can only study adult education. With her personality, aren’t you forcing her to death?”
