Chapter 885 I’m Not Going, I’m Not free
“Perhaps… Professor Liang Lu suddenly gave them a break?” Zhang Yang casually said. If one listened carefully, one would be able to hear the mockery in his tone.
Qin Si picked up his hand and squinted. He replied directly, “No! I’m not free!”
Gather my ass!
CO
This time around, Jiang Xianrou had been too dishonest. After so many years of being friends, he had always treated her as his younger sister. He couldn’t say harsh words, but he didn’t want to give her any face!
“I’ll see whether Sister Qiao is free after lunch in the afternoon. The last time, I said that I would bring her to some scenic areas to have a look. If she’s free, I’ll take her around.”
Zhang Yang was smart and immediately said, “I’ll go with you.”
He also said with a smile, “I happened to earn a small sum of money from speculating in the stock market some time ago. I’ll pay for it if I’m going in the afternoon. Miss Qiao can feel free to buy anything she wants!”
In their circle, even if someone like Zhang Yang made a small sum of money, it would definitely be in the eight-figure range. They would be too embarrassed to bring it up if it was any less.
Qin Si glanced at him and understood that he was trying to curry favor with Qiao Nian. However, he didn’t say anything and tacitly agreed.
Sister Qiao was going to study at Qing University soon, and she would definitely have to stay in Beijing in the future. The more people like Zhang Yang, the better.
He wasn’t afraid of a smart person like Zhang Yang, but he was worried that Qiao Nian would meet some mean people and be bullied!
He wouldn’t know about it every time. Qiao Nian was someone who wouldn’t talk about anything. As her brother, he had to protect her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be deserving of that title!
Jiang Zongnan really didn’t expect Qin Si and the others to come. He looked at the large group of people in front of him in astonishment and couldn’t recover for a long time.
When he regained his senses, the first thing he did was look in Tang Wanru’s direction, thinking that it was someone Jiang Xianrou had called over.
But seeing that Bo Jingxing and the rest were here, he felt that Jiang Xianrou might not have been capable enough to call for so many people.
At that time, when Xianrou was admitted to the Qing University’s Medical Faculty, the Jiang family had also held a school promotion banquet. At that time, Old Master had not retired yet. Many people had come, and all of them had high statuses, but they were not as big-shot as today’s guests. Qin Si, Zhang Yang, Bo Jingxing… Jiang Zongnan looked around and saw Luo Qing and the others, all of whom had given him gifts and red packets.
Their words were the same.
“Uncle Jiang, we heard that Miss Qiao (Sister Qiao) is holding a school promotion banquet here today and came over at the last minute. We didn’t let you know beforehand, do you mind?”
At first, Jiang Zongnan thought that they were giving Jiang Xianrou face. Later on, although he felt that Jiang Xianrou might not have that much face, he didn’t think that it was her they were being respectful towards. Hearing that everyone was here for Qiao Nian herself, he opened his mouth and his body stiffened. He reacted quickly and said, “How could I mind? Quick, please come in. I’ll bring you to your seats.”
Qin Si and the others also walked past Tang Wanru without looking at her, let alone greeting her.
A group of people came from Qin Si’s gang and the Ninth Branch. When Ye Lan and Ye Maoshan brought Ye Qichen over, it was not as shocking. Tang Wanru’s expression was stiff the entire time. She smiled obsequiously, but her actions were a little awkward and numb.
Qin Si didn’t greet her, and Yuan Yongqin ignored her. Even Ye Lan and Ye Maoshan, who came from behind, pretended not to see her.
One person was like this, two, three… Everyone was like this. Even if she was a fool, she could tell that these people were helping Qiao Nian! They felt that Qiao Nian’s auntie had treated her harshly, so they were all giving her face!
