"What a coincidence?" Tang Wanru was inevitably disappointed. She really wanted to win over Xu Jishen so that he could help Jiang Xianrou in the future, but he happened to be busy: "I thought Mr. Xu would be able to come this time, but I didn't expect him to go back."
"Yeah, it's just a coincidence. No one expected that Mr. Su would suddenly catch a cold. He was caught in the wind at night and caught a cold."
Jiang Yao also felt sorry. He said in a low voice, then smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if he can't come. I invited a few people from Tianchen to come and play. Two of them can come. They should be here soon."
Tang Wanru and Jiang Xianrou couldn't help but reveal expressions of surprise and surprise.
Jiang Yao looked around and stopped talking to them. He turned to ask Jiang Zongnan, "Dad, why don't I see uncle and the others?"
He didn't know yet that Jiang Zongnan hadn't invited Qiao Nian and the others at all.
Jiang Zongnan looked a little uncomfortable when asked this question. He was embarrassed and didn't know how to start: "Your uncle and his family are busy and may not be able to come."
Jiang Yao knew that they had been having an awkward conflict with their uncle's family recently.
He thought Jiang Zongnan had invited his uncle's family, but Jiang Zongjin refused and was unwilling to come.
He took a deep breath, took out his cell phone, and pretended to make a call: "I'll call Qiao Nian and ask her if she can spare time to come over."
"It's just a meal. It won't take her much time. I'll talk to her nicely and she might be willing to come."
When Jiang Yao said this, Jiang Zongnan, Tang Wanru and Jiang Xianrou did not dare to refute him for a moment.
However, neither Tang Wanru nor Jiang Xianrou understood why he cared so much about whether Qiao Nian came to dinner or not.
Only Jiang Yao himself knew who he saw outside the Municipal Hospital half a month ago!
He dialed the number and a mechanical female voice rang on the line. Then he remembered that Qiao Nian had blocked him a long time ago.
Jiang Yao had a headache and was thinking about how to contact Qiao Nian.

On the other side, Qiao Nian had just gotten off the car and was walking towards the Yu Mansion step by step.
Not long after she got off the bus, she received a call from someone.
Qiao Nian glanced at the caller ID. It was Jian Jin calling.
She raised her eyes to the stairs of the Imperial Palace and answered slowly: "Hello."
She has been busy with school matters lately and has relatively free time.
Sleep quality has improved dramatically.
Her voice wasn't as hoarse as before, but she sounded lazy and she didn't seem to be very interested in the things around her.
"Joe, where are you?"
Qiao Nian glanced at the main road and said nothing.
Jian Jin's cheerful and cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm up. Do you want me to drive over to pick you up?"
Qiao Nian tapped her phone with her fingertips, her eyelids drooping, her raven-black eyelashes drooping, hiding the willfulness in her eyes, and answered casually, "No, I'm already outside the door. Which private room did Lu Zhi book? Is there a seat available? Send me the location."
"You're here?" Jian Jin was incredulous and immediately said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask him to give you the location."
Qiao Nian hung up the phone.
He put one hand in his trouser pocket, inserted the earphones into his ears, and continued walking towards the Imperial Palace.
The plaster on her right hand had been removed. Since it was only a small fracture and not a major bone injury, the doctor did not bandage her.
Her injured hand basically has no impact on her life except that she is temporarily unable to lift heavy objects.
Lu Zhi’s location information was sent over quickly.
Qiao Nian opened WeChat and searched for the location based on the little red dot he had sent her.
