But if we really talk about the most powerful families, the Jiang family and the Tang family are definitely at the top, and the Shen family and the Fu family can only be considered to be barely able to squeeze into this circle.
Among these families, the Jiang family is the head.
Because the Jiang family has a close relationship with Beijing, Mr. Jiang was also a prominent figure in the city when he was young.
But as he got older, his health deteriorated, so he moved to Beijing for recuperation ten years ago and rarely came back since then.
These young people have heard of his name but rarely seen him in person.
When Mr. Jiang saw the group of people, he was in high spirits and laughed loudly, "Come back to pick up my granddaughter."
"Granddaughter?" Tang Wei looked at Qiao Nian who was silently pushing his wheelchair behind him.
She has fair skin and outstanding eyebrows.
"It's this little girl. She's so pretty!" She wasn't exaggerating. Everyone in the Jiang family was good-looking, but the appearance of the girl in front of her was...how to put it, absolutely amazing!
Mr. Jiang couldn't help laughing: "Haha, you're just a kid, your appearance isn't important."
He said this, but his face couldn't hide the pride as he introduced her to Qiao Nian: "Niannian, this is Grandma Tang."
Qiao Nian's eyebrows moved slightly, and she called out obediently, "Grandma Tang."
Tang Wei immediately took off the beads on her wrist and stuffed them into Qiao Nian's hand, saying guiltily, "Oh, Nian Nian is so good. I didn't know your grandfather brought you here for dinner today. If I had known, I would have prepared a good gift for you. I have worn this bead string for several years. It was given to me by Master Wuming when I went to Puzhao Temple a few years ago. Please don't despise it."
Qiao Nian tried to refuse several times, but failed. And since Mr. Jiang asked her to accept the gift, she reluctantly accepted it.
Tang Wei presented a gift and chatted with the old man contentedly about family matters.
The Qiao family, including Mrs. Fu, were all stunned.
Especially He Yujuan and Qiao Weimin, their faces turned blue and purple, and Qiao Weimin just stood there, not knowing whether to talk to them or not.
At this moment, Qiao Chen looked like she was struck by lightning, her delicate face turned as pale as paper.
She pinched her fingers together and murmured in disbelief in a voice that only she could hear: "Aren't her parents from Luohe County? How could Grandma Tang know them?"
Moreover, Tang Wei's attitude was not just about knowing each other, but she even showed a hint of deliberate closeness to the old man next to Qiao Nian!
Qiao Nian, how could she know such a person
…
Tang Wei chatted with Mr. Jiang for a few words, and then asked about Qiao Nian: "Looking at Nian Nian's age, she should be in high school, right?"
"I'm about to enter my third year of high school." Grandpa Jiang replied with a smile.
Tang Wei looked at Qiao Nian and asked, "Where are you studying?"
Old Master Jiang did not hide anything and answered casually, "Raocheng No. 1 Middle School. She had taken a year off from school before, so she had to choose a new school. I asked her, and she thought Raocheng No. 1 Middle School was okay, so I let her stay here to study for the time being." Qiao Chen and the Qiao family, who were distracted, heard the name of Raocheng No. 1 Middle School. The little bit of blood color left on Qiao Chen's lips disappeared, and she almost couldn't stand.
Around the city No. 1 Middle School
Qiao Nian is going to Raocheng No. 1 Middle School? !
Thinking back to when she was taking the high school entrance exam, her family had gone to great lengths to get her a spot in Ring Road No. 1 Middle School, but the other party just said something casually. The huge gap of disappointment made her look dazed.
She was in no mood to listen to what Tang Wei said afterwards.
It was not until Qiao Nian and Mr. Jiang and his group left that she came to her senses and heard her grandmother asking about the distinguished Grandma Tang and Aunt Tang.
"Who was that old man just now?"
Tang Wei didn't know their relationship with Qiao Nian, so she answered casually: "Oh, you mean Mr. Jiang? An old friend."
He Yujuan asked in confusion: "What friend? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
"We rarely see each other, so I didn't mention it specifically." Tang Wei and He Yujuan have a good relationship, but the Qiao family is not in the real top-class upper-class circle of the city after all, and the old man of the Jiang family has some connections with the upper class, so even she has to be cautious. She couldn't reveal the other party's identity to irrelevant people, so she just smiled and said, "After all, Mr. Jiang is still half of my teacher."
She loves Chinese painting, and Mr. Jiang is a master of Chinese painting. She has sought advice from him several times.
It’s not an exaggeration to call him half a teacher.
"Oh." He Yujuan understood after hearing this.
Those poor relatives of Qiao Nian's family came from Luohe County, but they were good teachers and should be well-known locally.
She knew that her good friend was obsessed with Chinese painting, and judging from the old man's age, he might have some talent in this area!
Don't TV dramas often show a master appearing in the countryside? Unfortunately, he is not a famous teacher.
"I heard before that one of his granddaughters was lost and never found. I didn't expect that after such a long time, she was finally found!"
"The child of the family has been lost for such a long time, and it is not easy to find him. He will definitely treat the child as the apple of his eye."
"That girl is so lucky. I heard that Mr. Jiang found the information about his granddaughter on the Internet. The girl posted the information online, which shows that the family that adopted her didn't treat her very well... I wonder if that family will regret it in the future?"
The Qiao family members felt so much pain in their faces that they saw stars and were so embarrassed that they couldn't say a word!
When Qiao Weimin thought about how he had just thought Qiao Nian was chasing him for money, his face was burning with anger, and his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys were almost squeezed together! He was too embarrassed to respond to this question.
He Yujuan, on the other hand, looked at Qiao Nian's back coldly, with a noncommittal expression on her face: "… She's just a teacher, what's there to regret?"
"..."Teacher? Did she misunderstand something
After everyone left, Tang Wei didn't say anything else.
