"You're thinking about someone."
Gu San was playing games on his mobile phone. He was playing the popular chicken game, which Ye Qichen also loved to play. Sometimes he would play with Ye Qichen. Today, Ye Qichen was not there, so he played alone to pass the time. At the critical moment, he answered Jiang Xianrou without even raising his head.
Jiang Xianrou saw that he was playing games, her brows slightly furrowed, and her pair of autumn-water eyes were more concerned about what he said unintentionally.
"Who are you thinking about?"
"Of course..." Gu San almost blurted out 'Of course I am thinking about Miss Qiao', but when the words came to his lips, he came back to his senses and saw Jiang Xianrou looking at him with concern. He reacted and changed his words tactfully: "Um... I don't know about Mr. Wang's affairs, I just said it casually, Miss Xianrou don't have to take my words to heart."
If he didn't shirk it, Jiang Xianrou would not have thought about the woman yet. When she heard him deliberately change his words to perfunctorily deal with her, her heart sank...
She has always been a patient person, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in this circle relying on Jiang Li's relationship. She pursed her lips and said nothing.
Gu San was afraid that she would guess it, so he took the initiative to find a topic to ask her: "Ms. Xianrou, didn't you have something to do today and couldn't come over? How did you find time to come?"
The first time Qin Si and the others called her, they didn't tell her that Ye Wangchuan was coming, they only told her the second time.
The first time Jiang Xianrou said she had something going on at home and couldn't come over, but she just came again, so Gu Sancai just found a random question to ask her.
Jiang Xianrou was quite annoyed when she mentioned this. She put her hands on the handlebars, and a mocking expression appeared on her beautiful face. She said sneerly, "Because someone stood me up."
"Uh, who is it?" Gu San just asked casually, mainly because he was afraid that she would pester him and continue asking him who Wang Ye was thinking about.
Who knew Jiang Xianrou would really answer him, holding the cup with her manicured hands, she said proudly and impatiently: "A cousin. You probably haven't seen her. She came to Beijing to take an exam, and she canceled her dinner appointment with her family at the last minute."
When they were having dinner at Shuixiexuan before, only Ye Wangchuan and Jiang Li were there, but Gu San was not there. Jiang Xianrou thought that Gu San must have never met Qiao Nian.
Little did he know that as soon as she mentioned the key words "cousin", "coming to take the exam", and "standing up", Gu San realized who she was talking about almost immediately.
She was definitely talking about Miss Qiao!
Gu San's eyes moved slightly, and he asked out of curiosity: "Then... Director Jiang is not angry, right?"
Jiang Xianrou thought that he didn't know Qiao Nian from the beginning to the end, so she thought it didn't matter to tell him, and said casually: "My grandfather is almost spoiling her. Anyway, every time she gives him something casually, the old man is very happy."
"Last time she sent a bottle of a three-no product, something like pills, to the old man, and he happily accepted it. This time she stood him up and had someone send a bottle of that three-no health product over, and also reminded the old man to remember to take it. My grandfather was so happy that he couldn't stop."
She spoke with disgust, completely unaware that Gu San was about to scream out in his heart.
WTF!!! A bottle!!
He wondered how many little pills were inside.
He remembered seeing the transparent glass bottle that Qiao Nian put in her schoolbag before. It was quite full. He estimated it with his eyes and there were at least 20 tablets.
The eldest lady said at lunch that the price of small pills on the black market has increased recently, and 5 million yuan is no longer enough to buy one. The one she bought through connections was close to eight figures, which means... Miss Qiao just asked a courier to deliver it to Mr. Jiang, and he got a courtyard house in Beijing.
