Old Master Jiang's face didn't look good. He looked at her sullenly and spoke slowly, "You said Nian Nian came to Beijing alone, and Jiang Li didn't go with her?"
Jiang Xianrou was unwilling to put the blame on Qiao Nian, and answered truthfully: "I only saw her in Nanluoguxiang, carrying a bag, as if she was shopping. I only saw her alone at that time. My friend asked her to go with us, but she refused, saying that a friend was waiting for her outside. But I have never seen her friend, so I don't know if the friend she was talking about is a man or a woman."
There was silence in the living room.
Tang Wanru lowered her head, concealed her contemptuous look, and raised the corners of her mouth.
Both Mr. Jiang and Jiang Zongnan looked unhappy.
Jiang Zongnan first asked his daughter: "Did you see clearly? Are you sure she is alone and there is no one else around her."
Being suspected by him, Jiang Xianrou shouted to him unhappily: "Dad! There are so many of my friends together, it's impossible that we are all wrong. She is just one person."
Jiang Zongnan didn't know what to say. He couldn't say anything bad about Qiao Nian in front of the old man. He could only say that it was his son. He frowned angrily and rolled up his sleeves to find his phone: "This Jiang Li! I asked him to stay in Raocheng and take good care of his sister. Is this how he takes care of her? I'll call him and ask him what's going on!"
Tang Wanru usually doesn't care much about her youngest son. She cares the most about her eldest son and daughter, and has always been indifferent to the second child who is stuck in the middle. Now when she heard Jiang Zongnan put all the blame on Jiang Li, she put down her chopsticks unwillingly and said, "This matter can't be blamed entirely on Jiang Li..."
She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but the meaning was clear.
"Okay." Mr. Jiang has been a master of his time, leading the Jiang family from the Ring City all the way to the capital. How could he not see what his daughter-in-law was thinking? This was said to him, saying that Qiao Nian was also wrong! He sighed in his heart and called Jiang Zongnan lightly: "The matter has not been clarified yet, why are you in such a hurry."
Jiang Zongnan looked at his wife helplessly, then slowly walked back, stuck in the middle, not sure what to do.
Jiang Xianrou had long been accustomed to her grandfather and father's partiality, so she did not comment on it and poured herself a glass of water. Qiao Nian was a hopeless case anyway, so their partiality was useless.
Mr. Jiang took a long time to mentally prepare himself before accepting the matter again. He then asked, "By the way, Xianrou, you said Nian Nian told you that she came to Beijing City for an exam. Did she tell you what the exam was?"
Qiao Nian came to Beijing without even saying hello to them. He was a little angry, but more worried.
But he was not worried about what Jiang Xianrou and the others thought—for example, Qiao Nian was hanging out with bad friends.
Jiang Li is his grandson. He has watched Jiang Li grow up. That child... is not like his father Jiang Zongnan. His personality is more like Nian Nian's father Jiang Zongjin.
I have loved freedom since I was young. I would immerse myself in something I like without any regard for the consequences. Although I seem careless, I am actually thoughtful and kind.
Qiao Nian is his sister.
He couldn't possibly feel at ease letting Qiao Nian come to Beijing alone. Since he didn't come with her, it meant that someone followed her.
Apart from Ye Wangchuan, who else could make him so relieved
It can be seen that the friend that Xianrou heard Qiao Nian talking about outside Nanluoguxiang was most likely Ye Wangchuan!
With Ye Wangchuan by his side, he was not too worried about Qiao Nian's safety, but more worried about other things... such as the exam that Xianrou mentioned.
