Jiang Xianrou hid her phone without leaving any trace, and said absentmindedly with a forced smile: "Nothing, a message from the school."
She changed the subject perfunctorily: "By the way, brother, why isn't Brother Xu with you today?"
Jiang Yao saw that she looked very bad and her eyes were wandering, but he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that something went wrong at school. He leaned back in his chair and answered nonchalantly: "You mean Xu Jishen? He went to pick up his grandfather."
"Mr. Su?" Jiang Xianrou asked with concern.
Jiang Yao did not hide it from her and nodded: "He said that his grandfather has an important friend in Beijing, so he took time out to come and meet his friend."
Jiang Xianrou couldn't help but think of what happened at Qiao Nian's graduation banquet.
She remembered very clearly that Zhang Yang had said in the group that Mr. Su had also attended Qiao Nian's graduation banquet!
Could it be that the important friend that Mr. Su came to Beijing to meet this time is Qiao Nian
She felt her breathing quicken just thinking about it.
Jiang Yao saw that her face was getting worse and worse, frowned, and asked with concern: "Xianrou, are you really okay? I see that you look very bad, do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No need, brother." Jiang Xianrou held his hand, took a deep breath, and explained reluctantly: "I've been busy changing my major recently, maybe I'm too tired."
When Jiang Yao heard her talk about how Qiao Nian offended the Wei family and Wei Ying, which led to Liang Lu being suspended from her job, his brows furrowed further and further, and he said nothing.
He was just trying to cheer Jiang Xianrou up, so he changed the topic and talked about the World Software Competition to be held in China.
Suddenly, his phone lit up.
Jiang Yao was interrupted. He picked up his phone impatiently and opened it to take a look.
It turned out to be a WeChat message sent to him by Xu Jishen.
[How many people named Qiao Nian are there in Tsinghua University?]
Jiang Yao looked confused.
He tapped the editor with his slender fingers and replied: "Why are you asking this?" Xu Jishen sent another WeChat message soon.
[you do not know?]
Jiang Yao frowned and hadn't finished typing yet.
The other party shows that they are typing.
Soon, another message came in.
[You don't know that the person who represented our country in the World Software Competition this time has the same name as your cousin, also called Qiao Nian. What a coincidence, they are both students of Tsinghua University. I thought they were the same person, so I asked you.]
—You don’t know that the girl representing our country in the World Software Competition this time has the same name as your cousin, Qiao Nian, and both are students of Tsinghua University.
Jiang Yao couldn't believe what he saw and checked it several times to make sure he was not seeing things.
Xu Jishen was talking about Qiao Nian.
He recalled that Jiang Xianrou was playing with her mobile phone just now and her expression changed while playing. He did not reply to Xu Jishen's WeChat. Instead, he raised his head and stared at the girl opposite him with complicated eyes.
After a long while, he hesitated to speak: "Xianrou, do you know about this World Software Competition?"
"… "
Jiang Xianrou had finally managed to calm down her emotions, but now they were provoked again. She was restless and looked unhappy.
Jiang Yao didn't know how bad the situation between Qiao Nian and her family was, so he asked her again: "Xu Jishen just sent me a message saying that Qiao Nian won the place for this year's competition."
Jiang Xianrou's body was stiff, and she took a deep breath: "I just saw the message the school sent me."
Jiang Yao frowned and was about to ask her why she had concealed the fact when he asked her just now.
