"Your sister passed the preliminary review of Master Cheng's laboratory?" Xu Jishen looked at him in surprise, then smiled: "That's amazing!"
"Are you free in the evening?" Jiang Yao asked again.
Although Xu Jishen was not stingy when praising Jiang Xianrou, as soon as Jiang Yao invited him to attend a party with Jiang Xianrou's friends, he immediately showed hesitation in his eyes and was not very willing to attend.
"At night..." Xu Jishen leaned back casually, one hand on his leg, fingers tapping, the words of refusal were already on the tip of his tongue: "I'm afraid at night..."
There's no time to finish.
Jiang Yao interrupted him, not caring about his face anymore. He looked at him and asked in a slightly pleading tone, "If you have time, come with me to have a look. We'll play for a while and then leave."
Xu Jishen had a lot to say but was blocked in his heart. He couldn't refuse, but secretly he was not very willing to go.
The last time he met Jiang Yao's biological sister, Jiang Xianrou was not bad looking and had a good temperament, but there was an arrogance in her eyes and eyebrows. She thought she had concealed it well and was polite to others, but Xu Jishen had a general impression of her and was not very willing to have much contact with Jiang Xianrou.
After all, the Xu family is no worse than the Jiang family, so he won't go to such lengths to curry favor with Jiang Xianrou.
So even though I heard that Jiang Xianrou had broken into Ye Wangchuan's small circle and knew Qin Si and Bo Jingxing.
Xu Jishen had no interest in pleasing Jiang Xianrou.
Even when Jiang Yao told him that Jiang Xianrou had passed the initial review of Master Cheng's laboratory, he was still not interested and was not very willing to carry the sedan chair for the eldest lady.
No matter how unwilling he was to go, he could not resist Jiang Yao's repeated invitations.
Jiang Yao had a good relationship with him, and they were both in Tianchen, so Xu Jishen reluctantly gave in and joked, "Oh, come on, I didn't say I wouldn't go!"
"I will definitely go to your sister's celebration party. Please accompany me to the mall to buy a gift. Since I'm going there, I can't just go there empty-handed."
When Jiang Yao heard that Xu Jishen was willing to attend the party of Jiang Xianrou's friends, he felt relieved and nodded. He knew that Xu Jishen changed his mind just to give him face, so he reluctantly said to Xu Jishen, "Mr. Xu, thank you."
Xu Jishen smiled and exchanged a few polite words with him.
Jiang Yao took the opportunity to stand up and said to him, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Go ahead." Xu Jishen shrugged without objection, indicating that he could do whatever he wanted.
Jiang Yao got up and went to the bathroom.
After he left the coffee shop, he didn't walk too far. He picked up his phone again, looked down at the girl's profile picture on WeChat, and clicked on it.
Sent another message.
[Qiao Nian, I saw the trending search and heard that you made it to the finals. Congratulations on your good performance and keep up the good work in the finals.]
After the WeChat message is sent.
Jiang Yao thought for a moment and asked again: [Xianrou passed the preliminary review of Master Cheng's laboratory today. She invited her friends to dinner and I will go there too. Do you want to go? If you want, I will come to pick you up, or you can come by yourself.]
He sent the location address of the Mid-Levels Club to the girl.
The girl's profile picture was still silent, with no response at all. After he sent the message, it was like a drop in the ocean, and no one even read it.
Jiang Yao felt even worse.
He has been trying to contact Qiao Nian these days, but Qiao Nian's attitude towards him is very cold. He doesn't answer the phone or reply to messages.
Deep down, Jiang Yao still wanted to repair the relationship between his family members, but he didn't know where to start.
After much thought, he decided to invite Qiao Nian to join Jiang Xianrou's friends' party.
