Everyone reflexively looked in the direction he was looking—the girl was standing a few steps away from them, as if she was watching a lively event that had nothing to do with her.
Until everyone's eyes were focused on her.
She raised her head casually, her eyes sharp and full of mockery, passing through the crowd and falling on several people from the Jiang family.
"What? Is the Imperial Mansion reserved by you today?"
The girl's voice was cold and hoarse.
Undisguised irony.
Jiang Xianrou's face turned pale, she pinched her palms, her eyes red with anger: "You!"
She still has the nerve to mock them!
Jiang Zongnan didn't expect Qiao Nianzhen to be here. He was stunned for a moment and didn't come back to his senses.
He couldn't help but frown, and turned back to look at Jiang Xianrou and the precious coral that was smashed on the ground, feeling extremely headache: "Okay Xianrou, there must be a misunderstanding here, Nian Nian is not that kind of person. Go change your clothes first, the people from the Qi family are still waiting for you."
"Dad!" Jiang Xianrou couldn't accept his way of handling the matter, and was filled with anger. "She destroyed all the gifts that the Qi family sent me. Are you not going to pursue the matter and just let me let it go? How am I going to explain to the Qi family when they ask about this?"
There's such a big commotion outside.
Many newly arrived guests were attracted and stopped to watch.
Jiang Yao also saw two colleagues from Tianchen whom he had invited with great difficulty in the crowd.
The expression on his handsome face kept changing, and he felt extremely embarrassed.
He looked at the girl, hesitated for a while, and whispered: "Qiao Nian, what are you doing here?"
He didn't say he doubted it, but the fact that he asked the question itself was tantamount to naked doubt.
Qiao Nian smiled contemptuously, raised her eyelids, looked at him deeply, and said in a low voice: "Eat."
Jiang Yao: "..." His brows were almost wrinkled into a "川" shape. He took a deep breath, stared at the girl with a sharp gaze, and asked, "Who are you having dinner with?"
Qiao Nian raised an eyebrow, not understanding where he got the confidence to question her.
Jiang Yao thought she was guilty of not speaking, and frowned even more, saying irritably: "Since you came to the Yu Mansion for dinner, you can't come alone. You also saw that the gift that Godmother Xianrou gave her was broken for no reason. This gift is very valuable, and the price of the coral alone is more than eight figures."
"I'm not doubting you. I just want to ask who you were having dinner with. If it's convenient, could you ask that person to come over?"
What he said was reasonable and seemed very polite.
But Qiao Nian suddenly lost interest in arguing with them. She lowered her eyebrows and pressed down her black eyelashes to cover the coldness in her eyes: "If you think I broke Jiang Xianrou's things, you can call the police if you have evidence. I'll be here, waiting for the police to find me at any time."
"If you don't have evidence..." Her eyes were deep and heavy, with only mockery in them. She stood in an unruly manner, raised the corners of her lips in a sneer, and said nonchalantly, "I still say the same thing."
"You opened the Imperial Mansion?"
Jiang Yao was speechless after being criticized.
After she finished speaking, she seemed not to want to pay any attention to Jiang Yao. She turned around, pulled down the brim of her hat and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Yao chased after him instinctively.
The other members of the Jiang family were also restless.
There was no shortage of discussion among the crowd.
at this time.
A voice broke the deadlock, and Jiang Yao instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
"I asked her to have dinner here. Do you have any objections?"
