Chapter 1389: Qiao Nian Insists on Partic.i.p.ating in the Compet.i.tion

It was unknown who the Zhu family had offended this time, but they were destroyed overnight.

He heard that even Jiang Xianrou had dropped out of school. It could be seen that this matter was not simple.

Liang Conglin ma.s.saged his temples. He didn’t expect that even Du Mingwei would feel that Beijing hadn’t been peaceful recently. Du Mingwei might not understand what he was trying to say. He only said, “Qiao Nian’s hand is injured.

“Her right wrist is fractured. It’s been in a cast for the past few days. She’ll need to recuperate for 10 days or half a month before the cast can be removed, so it’s bound to affect her performance in the compet.i.tion.”

“Then…”

Liang Conglin interrupted him and said calmly, “Old Master Ye also called me. Many people have been telling me about this in the past few days. But I asked Qiao Nian privately. She said that she can still partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion! The person involved said that she can. There’s no reason for me not to let her go.”

Du Mingwei didn’t expect Qiao Nian to insist on partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion. He was silent for a moment.

“She’s already brought glory to the country by entering the finals this time. Let’s not think too much about it and maintain a good att.i.tude. We’re definitely on the students’ side no matter the outcome. Don’t you think so?”

“That’s for sure,” Du Mingwei said without thinking.

He calmed down upon seeing that Liang Conglin was so calm in the face of this unexpected situation. No longer as anxious, he looked at the entrance.

“The broadcast is informing the tickets. I wonder when Qiao Nian will arrive.”

“Soon.” Liang Conglin looked at the time on his phone. He was quite calm. He was already used to Qiao Nian arriving on time.

As expected.

In the few minutes they were talking, a girl with a shoulder bag appeared at the entrance of Terminal 1.

It was hot in September.

The girl was dressed simply in her original T-s.h.i.+rt, black pants, and cap. She was clean and refres.h.i.+ng. She wasn’t even carrying her luggage as she walked in their direction.

Du Mingwei’s heart sank when he saw the cast on her right hand. However, Liang Conglin had just given him a heads-up. Although he felt a little regretful, he wasn’t too anxious.

He hurriedly strode forward. “You’re here? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

With her left hand in her pocket, Qiao Nian’s posture was quite cool. Seeing him, she took off her earphones and greeted him very politely, “Teacher Du.”

“Sorry about this. Traffic was bad.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine!” Du Mingwei tried not to look at her right hand. He smiled and said brightly, “We were also stuck in traffic. It’s rush hour at this time of day, so it’s normal to be stuck in traffic. Since you’re here, shall we get our tickets first?”

He had thought that Qiao Nian would bring her luggage. After all, girls always liked to bring along all kinds of clothes or skincare products when they traveled. His daughter would bring along as many bags as he and his wife combined when she traveled.

Considering that Qiao Nian might have brought a lot of things with her, he didn’t go through the luggage check-in procedures first. He thought about helping Qiao Nian carry her luggage.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian only brought a backpack with her.

Du Mingwei looked again curiously at the shoulder bag the girl had brought. He thought that it looked light and he wondered what was in it. It was as if it hadn’t been packed.

“Okay.” Qiao Nian was sitting in the business cla.s.s cabin with them this time. She had no objections and followed the two of them obediently.
