“Zhou Hengfeng, who was popular in the country previously, is also on this list, but he’s ranked outside the top 500.
“Mom, do you know what Qiao Nian’s ranking will be if she can enter the finals of this competition?”
Tang Wanru took a deep breath and looked at him with a wavering gaze. “What’s the ranking?”
“Within the top 50.”
After giving her a heavy blow, Jiang Yao continued elegantly, “She can enter the top 50 of the rankings as long as she can pass the group stages and enter the last round. She can enter the top 20 if she gets another ranking. Even Tian Chen wants to poach the people in the top 20.”
“You’re saying that even Tian Chen wants to poach Qiao Nian?!”
“Yes. If Qiao Nian can get a ranking in this competition, Tian Chen will definitely come into contact with her. She’s only a freshman. As for whether she’ll give up her studies and enter Tian Chen, that depends on the outcome of her conversation with Uncle.”
Tang Wanru’s neck stiffened and she could not say a word. Her eyes shook violently, clearly unable to digest what Jiang Yao had told her.
The thing she should be most proud of in the first half of her life was that Jiang Yao had worked hard and entered Tian Chen.
On the day Jiang Yao successfully entered Tian Chen, not only was she happy, but everyone in the Jiang family was also happy. The year before last, they even held a banquet to celebrate.
Jiang Yao thought for a moment, then looked up and said, “Mom, even if Qiao Nian loses the group stage, she will have done her country proud this time. Do you understand?
“Before her, no one in the country could enter the group stage! She’s only a freshman, but she defeated the contestants from the 16 countries as a representative of the country and obtained the only spot to advance to the finals. To be honest, she worked hard this time.”
Tang Wanru didn’t want to talk to him at all, mainly because she didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t possibly praise Qiao Nian for being capable like Jiang Yao did.
She was about to die of anger now, okay?
It was already good of her not to blow her top.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be standing here listening to Jiang Yao praise Qiao Nian. She couldn’t stand it anymore.
“I’ll go up and tell Dad the good news first.”
Jiang Yao did not notice her abnormality. He picked up his phone and walked upstairs to the bedroom as he said, “I’ll book a private room in the Imperial Mansion later. Let’s have a meal as a family.”
Tang Wanru had no time to stop him. Jiang Yao had already gone upstairs and closed the door. He called Jiang Zongnan to tell him the ‘good news’.
She was so angry that she picked up the mask on the table and threw it on the ground. Her chest heaved as she breathed heavily. Tang Wanru tried her best to endure it after smashing something. However, her face muscles twitched, betraying the anger and grievance in her heart.
Ha, she had thought that the family would stop after they separated.
It didn’t matter if the old man handed the old residence to the eldest branch. Anyway, they had already taken control of the old man’s connections and were in charge of the family’s business.
So what if Qiao Nian was given the old residence?
No one in Beijing would treat her as the future heir of the Jiang family.
However, who would have thought that Qiao Nian would be able to turn the tables? In the blink of an eye, a lousy card had been thrown at her, disrupting her entire plan.
Tang Wanru’s eyes were sinister as she stood looking at the mess on the ground. She instructed the servants to clean it before turning around and returning to her room arrogantly.
After finding the phone in the drawer that she had not used for a long time, she sat in front of the dressing table and hesitated again and again. In the end, she couldn’t resist the torture of her jealousy. She found the only phone number in the communication record and dialed it. “…Hello?”
