1407 It’s Not That I Don’t Have Time, It’s Just That I Don’t Have the Time to Care About Them

Then, Madam Fu subtly tugged at her son, indicating for Fu Ge to invite Qiao Nian.

Stunned, a complicated expression appeared on Fu Ge’s handsome face. He invited her softly, “That’s right, Qiao Nian. It’s my mother’s birthday. Come and eat with us.”

Qiao Chen’s expression changed drastically. She was so shocked and angry that she almost broke her nails.

Shen Qiongzhi’s expression did not look good, either.

Qiao Nian pulled up the brim of her cap. Seeing the sudden change in their expressions, she curled her lips in disdain and said lazily, “I’m not free.”

Her refusal was concise and straightforward!

Fu Ge, Madam Fu, and the Fu family looked a little embarra.s.sed.

Madam Fu refused to give up. She wanted to pester her some more.

Just then, a nimble figure pushed past them into the room.

“Miss Qiao.” Cai Gang shook off his a.s.sistant and welcomed her with a smile. “What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

“What a coincidence.”

“Yes, what a coincidence.” Cai Gang was all smiles. His att.i.tude towards Qiao Nian could only be described as respectful. He rubbed his hands together and he said with a smile, “I heard that you were coming to Rao City to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. I wanted to pick you up at the airport, but I didn’t ask about your flight…”

“Have you eaten?” Cai Gang was much more natural than Madam Fu. He looked at Qiao Nian’s right hand, which was in plaster, and immediately looked away. He said brightly, “I happened to b.u.mp into you. If you haven’t eaten, I don’t know if I’ll have the honor to treat you to a meal.”

As he spoke, he carefully observed the girl’s reaction and added, “Old Madam Tang is also inside. We booked a private room.”

Madam Fu and the others turned green.

Cai Gang and Tang Wei were the people they had invited previously.

There was no need to talk about Cai Gang. Cai Gang could be said to be a man of his word in Rao City after Wei Dongshan’s downfall.

The Tang family was one of the top families in Rao City.

However, both Cai Gang and Tang Wei rejected their invitations and said in unison that they did not have time today.

From the looks of it, they had just made up their minds to ask Qiao Nian out for a meal and had no time for them!

Madam Fu felt ashamed, as if she had been slapped in the face. She saw stars and found it difficult to breathe.

She was paying attention to Qiao Nian’s reaction.

Qiao Nian raised her hand and glanced at the elevator that was still going down. Then, she looked at Cai Gang impatiently and said calmly, “I’ve eaten. Maybe next time.”

“You’ve eaten…” Cai Gang looked a little regretful, but he quickly perked up and bowed with a smile. “Alright. I’ll wait for you.”

“Hmm.” Qiao Nian’s voice was lazy as if in agreement.

Cai Gang had specially waited in the hotel to show his face to Qiao Nian and get to know her. This time, not only had he shown his face, but he had also received a promise from Qiao Nian. What could he be dissatisfied with?

Cai Gang revealed a satisfied smile and laughed loudly. “Then, Miss Qiao, I’ll wait for your news. Let me know when you have time. I’m free anytime.”

Ding.

Just then the elevator chimed and the doors opened.

Qiao Nian held the thermos and nodded at him. Then, she walked into the elevator without looking in Qiao Chen and Shen Qiongzhi’s direction.

They waited until the elevator doors closed.

Madam Fu and Fu Ge didn’t have a chance to speak to Qiao Nian.
