At this thought, Jiang Zongjin looked at Qiao Nian.

The girl had her head down, chopsticks in hand, and was focused on eating.

Perhaps it was because she was quite relaxed at this moment, but her cool and overly-independent aura was gone. Her eyelashes covered her beautiful black eyes.

The girl had fair skin and looked exceptionally obedient.

Jiang Zongjin’s heart suddenly softened and his eyes followed as if there was a spring breeze. He turned his head and said to the man, “No matter what, thank you, Young Master Ye, for driving over to pick us up this time. I’ll treat you to lunch today. Don’t stand on ceremony with me!”

The others in the Jiang family all thought that he was teaching at Qing University and did not have much money on his account. Actually, Jiang Zongjin had received a lot of scientific research bonuses over the years.

He usually lived a frugal life and did not use much, so he saved all his money. Now, he had saved a considerable amount of money in his bank account.

The interest from the bank alone was enough for ordinary households to spend for several years.

Therefore, he could still afford to treat them to a meal.

Ye w.a.n.gchuan did not give him the chance. He said in a hoa.r.s.e and polite voice, “Uncle Jiang, you’re too polite. I said that I’ll treat you to lunch. How can I let you pay?”

“But…” Jiang Zongjin didn’t want Qiao Nian to owe her friend a favor and was about to refuse.

Ye w.a.n.gchuan was very sensible and gave him a compromise suggestion. “Uncle Jiang, Nian Nian and I are… good friends. As a junior, I should be the one paying today. If you don’t think it’s good, we can meet again another day. I won’t fight over it with you next time you want to pay, okay?”

The corners of Qiao Nian’s mouth twitched when she heard him tell her father that they were ‘good friends’. She slowly put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and said, “Dad.”

“Huh?” Jiang Zongjin was still thinking about the feasibility of Ye w.a.n.gchuan’s suggestion when his daughter suddenly called out to him. He instinctively responded to his daughter first. “Nian Nian, what is it?”

Qiao Nian leaned back in her chair. “Let him treat us. It’s only right, anyway.”

Jiang Zongjin was speechless.

How was it ‘only right’ of him to treat them?

He couldn’t let others treat him even if they were friends.

He was an elder and the oldest person at the table. What if his daughter’s friend looked down on him?

Moreover, Ye w.a.n.gchuan’s circle was… quite proud.

Even Jiang Xianrou had to please them if she wanted to get in touch with that circle.

Jiang Zongjin did not want Qiao Nian to be looked down upon by outsiders.

To his surprise, he frowned, still trying to figure out how to say it. “That’s… not a good idea.”

The girl said quite naturally, “There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Qiao Nian supported her chin with her hand. Her eyes were dark but bright as she said casually, “Dad, let me introduce you. He’s my boyfriend.”

The entire room fell silent the moment the word ‘boyfriend’ was spoken.

This was the first time Gu San had witnessed such a scene. He was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word. He shrunk his neck and tried his best to reduce his presence.

F*ck, he did not expect Miss Qiao to come out so suddenly and directly admit Master w.a.n.g’s ident.i.ty to Uncle Jiang. This…

Gu San subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man.

As expected.

Jiang Zongjin’s jaw almost dropped. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning and could not react for a long time. He even suspected that he was hearing things.

“Nian Nian, you said that Young Master Ye is your…”

Qiao Nian admitted frankly, “Ah, he’s my boyfriend.”
