When she entered, she went through the side door instead of the main door, thus avoiding the possibility of running into a group of people from the Jiang family.
Qiao Nian is already very low-key.
But her aura is too strong.
Even though she tried her best to keep a low profile and didn't want to have anything to do with the Jiang family, Yuan Qing still saw her from behind when she went in.
"That person is Qiao Nian?"
Yuan Qing was wearing a red double-breasted modified Fu gown today, and her gray hair was combed meticulously.
If she wasn't so mean in her daily life, looked a little cold and difficult to get along with, she should be a blessed old lady at her age.
"Qiao Nian?"
"there."
The one who accompanied her to attend Jiang Xianrou's family recognition party was Yuan's son, a middle-aged man with a pale face and thin body who did not look in good health.
The middle-aged man looked in the direction her cane was pointing, and at first glance, he only saw a corner of clothes and no one at all.
He looked away carelessly, pushed his old mother, and said, "I didn't see it, Mom, did you see it wrong? It seems that the eldest family will not come to eat at noon today."
"Didn't you see the person who just walked over?" Yuan Qing was unwilling to give up and wanted to follow him to see what was going on, but her legs were not convenient: "I think it was Qiao Nian."
The middle-aged man didn't want to cause trouble on this occasion: "Mom, forget it, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter to us whether she is or not. Why do you worry about these things? I'll push you back."
"You know nothing!"
Yuan Qing was very angry at his disappointing words.
"I am doing this for your son. Both of the first wife's family are not up to the task. We can only cling to the second wife's family. My brother is confused, and I can't be confused."
After rolling her eyes a few times, she did not chase after him to see if the person entering the Yu Mansion was Qiao Nian due to the occasion.
*
As noon approached, the guests invited by the Jiang family arrived one after another. The people from the Qi family also arrived.
Only two people from the Qi family came this time, one was Qi Yan, and the other was Qi Lanyin who came with Qi Yan.
The two people received by Jiang Yao.
Qi Yan also gave Jiang Xianrou a gift.
The scene looked very harmonious for a while.
Everyone entered the banquet hall of the Imperial Mansion while chatting and laughing.
Only Qi Lanyin, who was following behind Qi Yan, had a cold face the whole time. Her bright oval face was stretched long, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was in a bad mood.
Especially when she saw Qi Yan giving the Qi family's emblem as a gift to Jiang Xianrou, her eyes were filled with extreme dissatisfaction and anger.
But Qi Yan ignored her.
Qi Lanyin didn't dare to act unruly in front of her aunt.
She was feeling upset, so after entering the banquet hall, she whispered to Qi Yan, "Aunt, I'm going to the bathroom."
Qi Yan tied her hair up in a bun today and wore a shirt suit, which weakened her soft femininity and added a touch of elegance.
She knew what Qi Lanyin was upset about, but in front of Tang Wanru's family, she did not show any abnormality. She just gave Qi Lanyin a look that said "don't make trouble" and smiled, saying, "Well, go ahead."
Qi Lanyin is not a fool.
On the contrary, she has been one of the most valued heirs of the Qi family since she was a child and has always been very outstanding.
The only Waterloo in her life was the time she met Qiao Nian in the medical competition and was pinned to the ground. At other times, she was the only one who outshone others.
Of course she saw the warning in her aunt's eyes, and the discomfort in her heart became even more upset.
