1446 Sister Nian Has Already Arrived at the Imperial Mansion

“What a coincidence?” Tang Wanru was disappointed. She really wanted to rope in Xu Jishen to help Jiang Xianrou in the future, but the other party happened to have something on. “I thought Young Master Xu would be able to come this time. I didn’t expect him to go back.”

“That’s right. I can only say that this timing is too coincidental. No one expected Old Master Su to suddenly catch a cold.”

Jiang Yao was also very regretful. Then, he smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if he can’t come. I invited a few people from Tian Chen to come and play. Two of them can come. They should arrive later.”

Tang Wanru and Jiang Xianrou were surprised.

Jiang Yao looked around and did not speak to them again. He turned to ask Jiang Zongnan, “Dad, why don’t I see Uncle and the others?”

He still didn’t know that Jiang Zongnan hadn’t invited Qiao Nian and the others.

Jiang Zongnan’s expression became a little uncomfortable. He was so embarra.s.sed that he didn’t know what to say. “Your uncle and the others have something on, so they might not be able to come.”

Jiang Yao knew that they had recently fallen out with his uncle’s family.

He thought that Jiang Zongnan had invited his uncle’s family, but Jiang Zongjin had rejected him and was unwilling to come.

Taking a deep breath, he took out his phone and pretended to make a call. “I’ll call Qiao Nian and ask her if she can spare some time.

“It’s just a meal. It won’t take her long. I’ll talk to her nicely. She might be willing to come.”

No one dared to refute him for a moment.

However, neither Tang Wanru nor Jiang Xianrou could understand why he was so concerned about whether Qiao Nian would come for dinner.

Only Jiang Yao himself knew who he had seen outside the city hospital half a month ago!

He made a call and heard a robotic female voice. Only then did he remember that Qiao Nian had already blacklisted him.

Jiang Yao felt a headache coming on. He thought about how to contact her.

…

On the other side, Qiao Nian had just alighted from the car and was walking towards the Imperial Mansion.

She got a call from someone not long after she got out of the car.

Qiao Nian glanced at the caller ID.

It was Jian Jin.

She glanced up at the stairs and slowly answered, “h.e.l.lo.”

She had been busy with school recently and had more free time.

The quality of sleep shot up.

Her voice was not as hoa.r.s.e as before. It was just lazy, as if she was not interested in her surroundings.

“Qiao, where are you?”

Qiao Nian glanced at the main road but didn’t say anything.

Jian Jin’s bright, cheerful voice came over the line. “I’m up. Do you want me to drive over and pick you up?”

Qiao Nian’s fingers tapped on her phone, her eyelids drooping, hiding the unrestrained look in her eyes. She replied casually, “No need. I’m already outside. Which private room did Lu Zhi book? Do you have a seat? Send me the location.”

“You’re here?” Jian Jin said immediately, incredulous. “Give me a minute and I’ll tell him to send the location to you.”

Qiao Nian hung up.

With one hand in her trouser pocket and the earpiece in her ear, she continued on her way to the Imperial Mansion.

The cast on her right hand had been removed. Because it was only a minor fracture, not even a bone injury, the doctor had not bandaged her.

Apart from not being able to lift heavy things, her injured hand basically did not affect her life.

Lu Zhi’s location was quickly sent over.

Qiao Nian opened WeChat and followed the red dot.
