Wei Ling walked out of the Imperial Mansion with an ugly expression. As she walked down the stairs, her anger had not subsided. Her face was dark, and the corners of her mouth drooped.
Qiao Chen followed behind her and turned back to look at the Imperial Mansions door in deep thought. She then caught up to her and said softly, seemingly unintentionally, “I wonder who booked the place. The manager didn’t even give you face.”
“Hmph.” Wei Ling suppressed her anger, but her eyes also lowered as she said calmly, “Beijing is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. I’m not as powerful as you think. I’ll always meet someone who doesn’t give me face.”
“But…” She paused and walked to the car. Then, she stopped and looked back with a complicated gaze. “This is the first time I heard that this place can be booked. I think the person who booked this place has a high status. He’s at least the kind of person who goes on news programs.”
Qiao Chen had seen a lot of things in the past month. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but look in the Imperial Mansion’s direction again.
Those people who could appear on the news in Beijing were all at the top of the pyramid.
Envy and yearning could be seen in her eyes.
“Let’s go. Let’s eat somewhere else.” Wei Ling didn’t notice the yearning and ambition in her eyes as she opened the car door.
Qiao Chen obediently retracted her gaze and opened the car door. “Yes.”
She was about to get into the car when she suddenly saw a black car with a red flag drive over from the corner of her eye.
There were many luxury cars in Beijing. A luxury car could be seen every three to five steps. Many good cars that couldn’t be seen even if one went around Rao City were common here.
However, very few people in Beijing drove with red flags.
This car’s license plate was especially arrogant.
Behind the Beijing car plate was a series of 8s.
Such a car plate was not something that could be bought with money.
Before getting into the car, she couldn’t help but look over. When she did, she saw that the black car was parked at the entrance of the Imperial Mansion.
After a while, a man and a woman got out of the car.
The man was tall and had a straight back. One could see his noble aura from his back. The Imperial Mansion’s manager, who had just rejected them, plastered a smile on his face and bent down to curry favor with them, as he took the car key from the man and talked carefully.
As for what he said, Qiao Chen was too far away to hear.
However, from the manager’s actions, it was obvious that he was extremely respectful to that man and was even very careful.
Was this the person who had booked the entire Imperial Mansion?
He looked very young from the back.
She lowered her eyes, her gaze mainly landing on the girl walking in with the man.
The girl had her back to her and did not turn back from the beginning to the end. However, her insufferable aura reminded Qiao Chen of someone.
Qiao Nian!
Qiao Chen thought of her for no reason. She stared intently at the back of the girl who was about to enter. The more she looked, the more familiar she felt.
In Rao City, she had specially asked around. The people from First High School said that Qiao Nian had not gone back to school.
She wasn’t surprised that Qiao Nian appeared in Beijing.
The strange thing was, didn’t the manager say that the entire place had been booked by someone? Her aunt also said that the person who booked the Imperial Mansion was probably someone who could attend congressional events… How could Qiao Nian be related to such a person?
She immediately became frustrated. She bit her lip and wanted to chase after her to see if it was really Qiao Nian.
Wei Ling had already gotten into the car. Inserting the car key and seeing that she was still standing there in a daze, she couldn’t help but shout, “Hey, hey, what are you doing? Get in..”
