Qiao Nian had been staying in Raocheng and had never been to Jingshi. The few times he came to Jingshi, he either went to Wei's house or stayed with him in Jiusuo.
Both places are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
She was always very low-key every time, and basically went back to the city the next day after finishing her work.
Therefore, few people in Beijing know of her existence.
Mr. Jiang suddenly invited everyone to dinner and said he wanted to introduce his granddaughter to everyone. When those people heard that Qiao Nian came from the surrounding city and had an ordinary background and had been living in a small place outside for more than ten years, of course they looked down on her...
I felt like it was a waste of time to come here for this meal.
This is why Old Jiang and her second uncle called to invite those people to come for dinner, but they made excuses to refuse.
I'm afraid that in those people's minds, Qiao Nian is just an insignificant person that the Jiang family brought back, and Jiang Xianrou still has the final say in the Jiang family.
"Tsk." He had a smile on his lips, and the whole person gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. He seemed to have a good temper, but his fingers were fiddling with the Buddhist beads on his wrist, and the smile did not reach his eyes.
If you look closely you can see that his eyes are extremely dark and cold.
His people have never been bullied like this!
It doesn’t matter if these people don’t come, just don’t cry and beg for this meal…
He took out his cell phone, but he couldn't make a call in front of Qiao Nian, so he sent a message instead.
He first sent a message to Ye Lan, and then to Ye Lao. After that, he looked for the group of people around him and asked if they had time and where they were. Those who had time should quickly roll over to the Imperial Mansion for lunch!
…
Qiao Nian didn't see him sitting there lazily sending messages. She looked through the people in her address book, found a few who stayed in Beijing all year round, and called them.
She doesn't care how many people come to eat at noon. According to her personality, it would be troublesome if there are too many people. She hates socializing.
For her, the fewer people, the better.
It's easy. You can eat and leave.
But she was very concerned about the tone of Jiang Zongnan's voice when he called her just now, not to mention that he apologized to her guiltily.
It’s just...very annoying!
It was obviously not a big deal, but she felt like her chest was burning with anger for no apparent reason.
"Hey, Ji Nan, um, I have something to do... Can we have lunch together at noon? Ah, my entrance banquet will be on the third floor of the Imperial Mansion."
The girl in the car had a deep and pleasant voice, and spoke at a casual pace.
Gu San and the Ye family driver in the front row were confused. The name Ji Nan looked so familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before.
Gu San tried desperately to think where he had heard it before, but he couldn't remember for a moment.
Before he could figure it out, Qiao Nian hung up the phone and made a new call: "Let's have lunch on the third floor of the Imperial Mansion. I'll be there at noon. Come early."
Gu San: “…”
Why did he feel that although Miss Qiao was not in Beijing, she knew many people in Beijing
The calls came one after another. From Miss Qiao's tone, she knew that these people were from Beijing. Otherwise, Miss Qiao would not have directly given the address for dinner without even asking whether the other party was in Beijing.
Since you don't ask, they must be in Beijing.
He also heard some bits and pieces of the call that Qiao Nian just answered, and he could roughly guess the current situation from Miss Qiao's words.
Gu San has always treated Qiao Nian as one of his own, not to mention that when Wang Ye asked him if he had stood in the right line in the future, he said that he would stand on Qiao Nian's side.
When Miss Qiao encountered such a thing, Gu San felt that he had an obligation to do something.
He thought about it, found his cell phone and started contacting people who could be called.
