He tried his best to tell himself that he was not jealous. Jiang Li and Sister Qiao were cousins and she had lived with Jiang Li for some time in Rao City. Sister Qiao’s relationship with Jiang Li was better than with him. It was normal.
But he felt sour. So sour that it hurt.
Qin Si was originally already upset, and now, upon hearing what Gu San said, he stopped talking and could not continue. In the end, he looked left and right and saw the man sitting beside him waiting for the live broadcast. He seemed to have thought of something and asked seriously, “Master Wang, didn’t Sister Qiao install a live broadcast software for you??”
His question froze the air in the private room for a few seconds.
Until Ye Wangchuan moved.
He raised the corners of his eyes; deep and reserved. He looked at him coldly and replied slowly, “No.”
Qin Si shrunk and touched the back of his neck. He felt better.
Even Master Wang, the real boyfriend, could not get the treatment of Sister Qiao personally installing the software for him. Now it seemed alright that he, the supporting cast, did not get the special treatment too!
…
The live broadcast would begin in three minutes.
The atmosphere in the private room was tense.
In the beginning, Qin Si would joke around and talk about other things. But just before the competition started, even he stopped talking.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Tang Ning, Zhang Yang, and the others were all staring at the computer, waiting for the live broadcast to start.
Ye Wangchuan went out to answer a call. It was from Old Master Ye. He asked him if Qiao Nian was prepared for the competition.
He comforted the person on the other end of the line, who was even more nervous than him, and returned to the private room. He sat back in his original seat and quietly waited for the competition to begin.
At the same time, Tang Wanru was also at Lan Pavilion.
However, unlike Qin Si, Ye Wangchuan, and the others, she did not manage to book a private room. She just sat with a group of wealthy ladies outside in the main area and had some drinks.
Tang Wanru was dressed in a dark green silk cheongsam with exquisite workmanship. The embroidery on the cheongsam was exquisite.
She also wore a necklace of emeralds.
She could be said to be eye-catching among the noblewomen.
At this moment, Tang Wanru was holding a cup of coffee and stirring it gently with a spoon. She was listening to the ladies sitting at her table chatting.
She wasn’t much interested in the topic and had been showing a lack of interest.
Until a noblewoman brought the conversation to her attention.
“Mrs. Jiang, I heard that your family has split up. What’s going on?
“Didn’t your family always get along very well? You didn’t mention any conflicts at home.”
Tang Wanru’s sharp gaze saw that the other party was waiting to watch a dramatic show unfold from the corner of her eyes. She put down her coffee cup with a cold face and replied impolitely, “Do I have to tell you about my family’s conflict?”
The other party’s face turned pale and she immediately felt embarrassed.
“I’m just asking. There’s no need for you to overreact, right? Oh, right, I also heard that the niece your family found was chosen to represent the country in this year’s World Software Competition. Have you heard? My son said that this competition is impressive. Every year, only one person will be chosen to represent the country. I didn’t expect it to involve your family this year.”
Tang Wanru’s expression became even more solemn. However, she knew how to keep her composure. She didn’t show it on her face and silently put the coffee stirrer to the side, making a crisp sound. “If Madam Song is envious, you can also bring your illegitimate daughter back. I heard that President Song has a daughter who is already in high school. Her results have always been good. Your family might also have a top scorer in the college entrance examination if you are willing to let her come back.”
