Tang Wei did not answer directly. She only said, “I’ve been friends with her for decades. I heard that she’s not feeling well recently. She asked to meet me, so I went out to meet her. I didn’t know she would send me an invitation beforehand.
“I saw that girl from the Qiao family before. Qiao Chen’s results are average. It’s difficult for her to get into a top-tier school according to her original results. I didn’t expect her to get into Qing University for the joint examination. It’s a little unexpected.”
“Qing University is a good school, but didn’t you say before that you would no longer have anything to do with the Qiao family? Even if Qiao Chen gets into Qing University, you don’t have to go…”
Tang Qi pursed his lips disapprovingly. He had seen Qiao Chen before. No matter what, she was pretentious and ambitious. He did not think that she could do anything just because she was admitted to Qing University. Her qualities were too lousy! She was also too ambitious. Such people were the easiest to fall down after climbing to the top.
Tang Wei picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water to moisturize her throat. Then, she looked up and said to him, “You don’t know. It’s said that Wei Ling of the Wei family thinks highly of her. For her promotion banquet, Wei Ling invited many people. Many families from Beijing will come as well… The Tang family has been in a bad situation recently. If we can build a good relationship with these families from Beijing, it might be a way out…”
She was quite hesitant about this.
After the incident with Liang Heng and her fall at the Waterside Pavilion birthday party, she was really afraid and did not want to provoke Qiao Nian again.
She did not want to provoke Qiao Nian. Thus, she drew the line between her and the Qiao family.
However, the Tang family had been suppressed for the past six months. From business to work, nothing went smoothly. In the past six months, her originally silver hair had turned snow-white, showing that her life was not smooth.
She also wanted to escape from the predicament and revive the Tang family’s former glory.
Tang Wei was hesitating. She sat there drinking water intermittently, wondering if she should go.
Tang Qi’s cell phone rang.
He picked it up and greeted the person on the other end. They didn’t know what the person on the other end said, but he handed the phone to the exhausted old woman on the sofa with a complicated expression.
“Grandma, Tang Ning called. She asked me to speak with you.”
“Ning Ning?”
Tang Ning was the hope of the Tang family’s new generation. Tang Wei had high hopes for her. Hearing Tang Ning’s name, a rare smile appeared on her face. She took the phone from Tang Qi and placed it beside her ear.
“Hello?”
Tang Ning did not waste her breath and went straight to the point. She briefly explained how she had bumped into Qiao Nian during Qin Si’s meeting in Beijing. Then, she emphasized how Ye Lan had also come over and invited them to dinner.
In the end, she directly told her grandmother that she could not provoke Qiao Nian. She had seen it clearly that night. Qin Si, Ye Lan, and the others were all supporting Qiao Nian. They were part of the most powerful circle in Beijing. If Qiao Nian could enter this group, she could still be flattered. No matter what background Qiao Nian had, with this group of people around, they had to be pampered!
In addition, she also told Tang Wei that news of Nie Mi taking in a disciple had spread throughout Beijing. Nie Mi had admitted that he had taken in a disciple at his birthday party.
His last disciple.
Her name was also Qiao Nian!
She came from Rao City and was in her third year of high school!
She only did not say that this was the same Qiao Nian and left some space for Tang Wei to find out.
Tang Wei hung up the phone and remained silent for a while before returning the phone to Tang Qi. The hesitation on her face disappeared completely as she looked at the red invitation letter on the table and instructed Tang Qi calmly, “Help me tell your Grandma He that I’m sick. We’re not going to Qiao Chen’s promotion party anymore!”
