Qiao Nian supported her long, straight legs, stood casually, looked away, and said, "No need, I can go back by myself."
"Then how ..."
The line isn’t finished yet.
Qiao Nian said concisely and naturally: "I don't live in the Jiang family."
Jiang Zongjim and his team went to the illegal area to attend a scientific research exchange meeting before Qiao Nian came to Beijing from the bypass city, and he was completely unaware of everything.
When he suddenly heard that Qiao Nian came to Beijing but didn't live at home, he was stunned and stood there in a daze: "If you don't live at home, then where do you live? Hotel?"
When he mentioned the word "hotel", his brows furrowed visibly. Although he had been very restrained in front of Qiao Nian, his expression still revealed dissatisfaction and surprise.
What do the people at home mean
Nian Nian came to Beijing to study, but actually stayed in a hotel
Ever since his daughter was lost, Jiang Zongjim has been immersed in his research and often does not return home.
He had a small one-bedroom apartment not far from the laboratory. When he was busy late, he would sleep in the apartment, eat and sleep there. His life was frugal, monotonous and very busy, but he used this busyness to greatly alleviate the pain of losing his daughter...
He himself could live a simple life and not care about material things, but he would never allow Qiao Nian to be treated with contempt!
Jiang Li was right beside him, and he could clearly sense that he was a little angry, so he tried to smooth things over: "Nian Nian is not staying in a hotel."
When Jiang Zongjin wasn't facing Qiao Nian, he was very serious and dignified when facing other people. He had his hands hanging by his side, and it was obvious that he was not someone who could be easily fooled. "She's not staying in a hotel, nor at home, so where does she live?"
Seeing that he was furious, Qiao Nian seemed to want to stand up for herself. She lowered her eyes, suppressed the warmth in her eyes, and did not embarrass Jiang Li. She said, "I live in the apartment."
"Apartment?" Jiang Zongjin was still worried, but he was not as serious to Qiao Nian as he was to Jiang Li. His tough aura suddenly dropped and he asked worriedly, "Are you alone? Why do you live in an apartment instead of at home? If you live alone outside, no one will take care of you. There are so many people at home, and there will be people to take care of you at home. I..."
"I'm not used to being around too many people." Qiao Nian put her hands in her pockets and leaned sideways. Although she was standing in a very casual posture, she looked a bit like a gangster. She explained to Jiang Zongjin, "I like to live alone, and Grandpa knows it."
"Dad knows too?" Jiang Zongjim was silent.
Although he frowned, he still didn't quite agree with Qiao Nian living outside alone, but he couldn't figure out what Mr. Jiang meant for a while.
He hesitated for a moment, seemed to compromise, raised his head again, looked at Qiao Nian, and said softly: "Where is your apartment? Dad will take you there and take a look by the way."
In his mind, it was the first time for Qiao Nian to come to Beijing from Raocheng. He was unfamiliar with the place and the prices of goods and houses in Beijing were high. He had been abroad before and no one helped Qiao Nian to find a place to live.
Of course he believed in his father's love for his granddaughter, but Mr. Jiang was in poor health after all and needed to live in a nursing home all year round and could not leave the nursing home.
Jiang Li is a carefree person...
Jiang Zongjim was afraid that Qiao Nian was living too poorly in terms of material things, so he decided to go and see where Qiao Nian lived. If the living conditions were too bad, he would immediately find a new place for Qiao Nian to live!
