3060 Master w.a.n.g Hopes Sister Nian"s Life Will Be Smooth
He was stunned for a moment before looking at the old couple and saying to Jiang Zongnan, "It seems the old couple is not simple."
Jiang Zongnan opened his mouth slightly. "Why did so many unfamiliar faces come to Nian Nian"s birthday?"
He did not recognize Smith, let alone Elder Qian.
Jiang Yao took a deep breath. "I"m afraid it"ll be difficult for us to see these people a second time in our lives. Let"s watch! These are people we"ve never heard of."
Today, he was lucky to have broadened his horizons.
He would be able to brag about the people he had seen today in the future.
Jiang Zongnan frowned. He did not understand why his son was exaggerating. He sighed and focused on Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian recognized him. As the two elderly approached, her expression became respectful. She consciously took off her baseball cap, revealing her clean face to show her respect.
The white-haired old man noticed this. He smiled and said, "Little girl, I heard it"s your birthday."
Qiao Nian pursed her lips and guessed something. She turned to Ye w.a.n.gchuan, who was quietly leaning against her. She was a little touched.
Qiao Nian said, "Yes."
"Right, you"re at the prime of your life." The old man took out a small toy and handed it to her. "Happy birthday, little girl."
Qiao Nian saw that it was an amulet. It was not expensive, but it was full of meaning. She took it and replied in a slightly hoa.r.s.e voice, "Thank you."
The old man said with full and loving eyes, "You don"t have to thank me. He was the one who found me and asked me to go to the temple to pray for one for you. He said that since we were already in our eighties, the amulet we asked for would be more effective. I hope this amulet can protect you for the rest of your life. We didn"t come for nothing."
He spoke with a smile, and there was no sharpness to his words. It was like an ordinary old man at the age of knowing his destiny guiding his juniors.
However, those who knew him knew how much effort Ye w.a.n.gchuan had spent to find someone to bless Qiao Nian.
"Are you Elder Qian?"
The angry Smith could not hide his shock upon seeing that old man. He restrained his arrogance and lowered his aura.
Elder Qian politely faced him, only saying, "I heard you making things difficult for this little girl just now. You insisted that she accept your gift?"
Elder Qian smiled. "It"s the little girl"s birthday today. We"re already so old, so let"s not make things difficult for the younger generation."
Smith hesitated since he was here on Lu Zhi"s behalf.
Elder Qian noticed his hesitation and asked with a smile, "Why? You"re not willing to give me face?"
"No…" Smith was stunned. He looked into the old man"s wise eyes and let out a shaky breath. "It"s fine if she doesn"t want it. It"s just that I was entrusted by someone to deliver it."
If Lu Zhi had not insisted that he come to give his friend this birthday gift, with his status, he would never have come to someone"s birthday party. That was why he was angry when Qiao Nian did not accept the gift.
However, compared to these trivialities, Smith was excited to meet the old man.
