really.
Xie Xinyao frowned and stared at him for a long time.
Suddenly I remembered the off-road vehicle I had seen outside Shanhai Pavilion, and the man who did not show up in the off-road vehicle.
Could this Ye Wangchuan be Qiao Nian’s...boyfriend
This thought just came to my mind.
Xie Xinyao felt extremely upset, as if she was being suppressed everywhere, which made her feel suffocated.
Her expression became visibly ugly the moment she saw Qiao Nian. Anyone with eyes could see that she had deep hostility towards Qiao Nian.
"It's you?"
Xie Xinyao spoke in a cold tone and walked straight towards the girl.
Xie Tingyun was still talking to Ye Wangchuan and the others. Upon hearing this, he immediately frowned and said with a warning tone, "Xinyao, what are you doing?"
Nan Tianyi's face also furrowed because of Xie Xinyao's tone as she rushed over, and he could hardly hide the dissatisfaction on his face.
Mother Xie reacted quickly and immediately stood in front of Xie Xinyao. She looked dignified and elegant. She looked Qiao Nian up and down, and a trace of disdain and contempt flashed across her eyes. She still had an intimate smile on her face: "Is this the goddaughter you said you wanted to adopt?"
She reached out to pull Qiao Nian: "Your name is Nian Nian?"
Qiao Nian dodged her hand without leaving a trace, his eyebrows and eyes were very annoyed, but because of Xie Tingyun, he still gave her face and responded: "Qiao Nian."
"Qiao Nian?" Xie's mother was a little embarrassed and a little angry at first. She thought that Qiao Nian was taking advantage of their Xie family and still acting arrogantly, which was really too arrogant.
At this moment, her mind was turning, as if she had thought of something. Combining it with her daughter's reaction, she realized: "You are the newcomer who entered the institute this year."
This sentence is full of malice.
Qiao Nian reached out and pushed down the brim of his hat, ignoring her. The smiles on Qin Si and Gu San's faces also faded a lot.
Qiao Xiaonian's godmother's relative is a bit annoying.
The atmosphere was heavy for a while.
Xie's mother was also a person who had seen the world, and she quickly realized that her emotions were too exposed and everyone had noticed her attitude.
She was not embarrassed, and quickly adjusted her mood. She smiled and said, "I heard Xinyao talk about you. You are very talented. Our Xie family also needs a talented person to help Xinyao in the future. Otherwise, I will not feel at ease if she stays alone in the research institute."
She meant that Qiao Nian would only be Xie Xinyao's assistant from now on and would always be suppressed by Xie Xinyao.
He even emphasized explicitly or implicitly that everything in the Xie family belonged to Xie Xinyao, and that Xie Xinyao was the rightful heir to the Xie family.
Qiao Nian was quite impatient, with a dark and cold look in his eyes, but he still controlled his temper and did not fight back against Xie's mother on the spot.
She could hear the warning in Xie's mother's words.
But she agreed to have this meal with Xie Tingyun and Nan Tianyi, not because she had any intentions towards the Xie family.
She never thought of going to the Xie family.
If she had known that these people in the Xie family would react so strongly, she might not have agreed to Nan Tianyi so easily.
"Sister-in-law, if you are not here for dinner, how about I let Tianyi take you back?" Xie Tingyun looked weak, but her tone was very tough at this moment, and she didn't even give Xie's mother any face.
Mother Xie's face froze, a little embarrassed, but she had seen big occasions before, so she gathered her shawl around her and immediately smiled, "How could that be? Of course I came here to eat sincerely. I even prepared a gift for Nian Nian."
She was taking out the box that contained the brooches.
Old Mrs. Shen came over.
