His expression was still noble and indifferent, but it made Wei Ling nervous. She wanted to cover the mouth of the fool beside her.
However, Shen Qiongzhi had already shouted, and others had also already heard her.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet. She clenched her handbag tightly and forced a dry smile. “What a coincidence seeing you here, Nian Nian. I heard that you did pretty well in the College Entrance Examination. Congratulations.”
It was extremely difficult for her to say the word ‘congratulations’.
Qiao Nian’s College Entrance Examination results couldn’t be described as ‘pretty well’. If she really wished her well, she would definitely emphasize the divine results of the nation’s top scorer.
She casually brushed it off with the phrase ‘you did pretty well’.
It could be seen how torturous it was for her to wish Qiao Nian well for her results.
Wei Ling braced herself and sent her blessings.
However, Shen Qiongzhi couldn’t even be bothered to pretend. She turned her head away with a cold face and a high and mighty attitude. She was just short of rolling her eyes.
“Why didn’t you tell your family that you did well for the College Entrance Examination?” she questioned.
It made it seem like Qiao Nian was from the Qiao family, and that she had the responsibility to let her, the ‘parent’, know about the results.
Qiao Nian didn’t tell her, and it became her fault.
The girl lowered her cap and ignored her.
Her eyes turned cold.
Everyone who knew her well would know that this was her sign of frustration.
Ye Wangchuan shielded her behind him and told Gu San, “Go in with Nian Nian first.”
He turned around and said to the girl, “Go in first. Be good.”
Qiao Nian looked up and glanced at Shen Qiongzhi and Wei Ling. She had her hands in her pocket, seemingly still thinking about whether she should go in.
Ye Wangchuan knew her personality. In a low voice, he said, “Grandpa Jiang is still waiting for you inside. Do you want to argue with them here? Today is your school promotion banquet. I know you don’t care, but Grandpa Jiang and your second uncle have gone through so much trouble to invite a group of friends to congratulate you. You don’t want two pieces of rat shit to ruin this and have Old Master Jiang disappointed, right?”
Qiao Nian looked up when these words reached her ears. Her black eyes were beautiful and pure. Her tone was lazy but serious. “I’ll go in. Are you fine here?”
“Tsk.” Ye Wangchuan held her hand and squeezed her fingers. In a good mood, he let go of her and looked up again. There was a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes were extremely cold. “It’s just cleaning the trash. What problem can I have? Go in, don’t worry.
“I’ll send you a message if there’s anything.”
At this point, Qiao Nian couldn’t say anything. It was mainly because just as Ye Wangchuan had said, she didn’t want Shen Qiongzhi to ruin the school promotion banquet that Old Master Jiang had meticulously prepared for her.
Therefore, she lowered her eyes and waved her cell phone. “Remember what you said. Text me if there’s anything.”
“Okay.”
Silence.
With Ye Wangchuan’s status, she didn’t think that Wei Ling and Shen Qiongzhi would dare to do anything to him. She just felt that these two were quite annoying. They were like flies, buzzing by the side. They didn’t have much in terms of ability, but their annoying skills were top-notch.
Just then, Old Master Jiang called again. He was most likely calling to ask where she was and when she would arrive.
Qiao Nian wasn’t far from the entrance of the banquet hall, so she didn’t pick up the call. She took one last look at him and said, “Then, I’ll leave this to you.”
“Mm, go on in.”
“…Alright.”
After Qiao Nian said that she would hand it to him, she trusted him completely and left without hesitation. She wasn’t shy at all, and her back view was very valiant.
