Xie Xinyao pointed at Qiao Nian and said indignantly, "Aunt. You said I'm not worthy, so is she worthy of your teaching?"
Xie Tingyun did not mean to attack her, and expressed his meaning as tactfully as possible, but he did not expect Xie Xinyao to react so strongly.
She was silent for a moment, then looked into the eyes of the angry Xie Xinyao and said calmly, "Have you ever been to a level 8 laboratory in the past three months?"
"… "
"If I remember correctly, it took you 8 years to get into the Level 8 lab. There are as many three months in 8 years as there are three months in a year, and that's how big the gap between you and her is."
Xie Tingyun said very directly: "What is a genius? Geniuses are the minority favored by God. I am not looking down on you. I am just telling you this fact. Some people are born with talents that ordinary people like us don't have."
"And you have no talent."
You have no talent!
Xie Xinyao felt as if she had been slapped hard in the face. Her face turned red and she could hardly control her anger and unwillingness.
She said to Xie's mother with a stern face: "Mom, let's go."
"Xinyao, don't be impulsive." Xie's mother was obviously still hesitating.
Xie Tingyun's network of contacts is not even as good as that of the Xie family. How could Xie's mother be willing to hand all of this over to an outsider? She still believes that Xie Tingyun has no children, so everything that Xie Tingyun has should belong to her daughter.
"Are you leaving or not?" Xie Xinyao had always been very competitive and had grown up being flattered by others. She couldn't stand this and stamped her feet, waving her hands and saying, "If you don't leave, I will!"
She didn't even bother to say goodbye to Xie Tingyun and Nan Tianyi, and just left.
"Xinyao." Seeing her turn around and leave, Xie's mother was anxious and prepared to chase after her, while trying to smooth things over: "Tingyun, we will come to see you another day."
Xie Tingyun hasn't spoken yet.
Qiao Nian blocked her way without leaving any trace, and stuffed the box he got back from Nan Tianyi into her hands. His eyebrows were very sharp, his lips were raised, and he said in a very dry tone: "I can't afford this gift, you can take it back."
Mother Xie was angry, but for Xie Tingyun's sake, she didn't want to have a falling out with Qiao Nian. She should have said a few more hypocritical words, but Xie Xinyao was walking fast and was about to disappear. She couldn't care about anything else and could only take the box back, saying awkwardly, "Aunt will give you another gift another day."
After Qiao Nian returned the things to her, he put his hands in his pockets, unable to hide his sloppy and unruly aura. He raised his eyebrows and said frivolously, "No need."
Mother Xie met her dark eyes and heard the girl casually say to her, "We are not that familiar with each other."
"I don't accept things from strangers either."
It’s clear at a glance who the stranger is!
Qiao Nian almost had the word "unfamiliar" carved on his face.
Mother Xie's face flushed. After all, she was from one of the three major families in the Independent Continent and it was not that she didn't care about her reputation.
She tried to hold it in, but couldn't help it, so she picked up her things and walked away quickly.
Xie Tingyun looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, and apologized to Qiao Nian in a tired voice: "Niannian, I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to do this. If I had known, I wouldn't have invited them."
Isn't this just causing trouble for people
But Xie Tingyun had never thought that Xie's mother would do such an indecent thing. She called the people from Xie's family because she wanted to introduce Qiao Nian to Xie's mother and others and pave the way for Qiao Nian in the future.
"It's okay." Qiao Nian didn't take this little episode to heart. After comforting Xie Tingyun, he lowered his eyes and said to Nan Tianyi, "Let's go in."
