Chapter 682: Sister Nian Pretends Not to See You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Alright.” Qiao Nian agreed quickly.

Seeing that she was no longer treating him as an outsider, Nie Mi smiled, in a much better mood. He looked at Princ.i.p.al Liang, who was still settling the bill, and said to her, “If you’ve got something on, you can go first. I’ll help you let Princ.i.p.al Liang know. Anyway, he’s already achieved his goal. Even if you leave a bit earlier, he’ll be fine.”

It was rather rude to leave first when dining with someone else. But Qiao Nian was really in a rush, so she decided to go ahead with it. “I’ll leave first, then.”

Nie Mi waved her away. “Hurry up and go. Do what you need to do.”

“Mm.”

Qiao Nian left with her cell phone in hand.

When she left, she happened to b.u.mp into the huge group of Qiao Family members who had also just finished dining. Cheng Wu wasn’t with them. He probably left for the hotel first to catch some rest.

What had happened was too awkward. Wei Ling and the rest had rather unnatural expressions as they looked at her.

Qiao Chen as well. She dug her fingernails into her palm and looked at her with a sophisticated expression.

Qiao Nian didn’t care about them. She walked right past them towards the main road to flag a taxi.

Bam.

The door of the taxi was shut and the vehicle drove off, leaving the Qiao Family in the dust.

…

Wei Ling’s expression became even more awful. She was heaving and in a daze. After a long while, she turned towards Shen Qiongzhi and said, “What did she mean by this? Pretending not to see us?! We’re her elders, after all, but she didn’t even greet us.”

Shen Qiongzhi had no idea how to respond to her. Her expression froze. She didn’t know why Wei Ling was turning to her for an answer.

How would she know what that ingrate meant? She had cut ties with Qiao Nian long ago!

Hadn’t Wei Ling done the same?

Wei Ling dragged Shen Qiongzhi into it subconsciously while in a fit of anger. When she came back to her senses, she also realized that the Qiao Family had long cut ties with Qiao Nian as well.

With Wei Qi’s matter, and then Qiao Chen’s, she could never repair her relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Nian.

She knew this long ago, but it had not mattered to her. Who cared that she couldn’t repair her relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Nian? Qiao Nian was just a girl from a small place like Rao City. Even with the Jiang Family as her backing, she wouldn’t be able to do much.

She never would have expected that the student who caused a stir among dozens of top-tier inst.i.tutions was actually Qiao Nian.

But the facts were right before her eyes.

The girl who she despised, and thought could not make it into the university, turned out to be the 650-pointer who stunned the nation!

What a slap to her face.

The moment Wei Ling thought about this now, she would feel tightness in her chest. But there was nothing she could do about it.

Qiao Chen looked at how her expression kept changing. She bit her lip and said by the side, “H-hasn’t she applied to the Chinese Medicine Faculty?”

She wasn’t loud.

But loud enough for everyone around to hear her clearly.

Everyone’s expression became rather interesting.

Shen Qiongzhi’s eyes lit up as if she had found the last straw to hold onto. “That’s right! So what if she does well? Chen Chen has a major in Music and a minor in Finance, with Professor Cheng Wu as her direct mentor. But she’s going to learn Chinese Medicine. Everyone knows that Chinese Medicine is one of the lousiest faculties in Qing University. n.o.body even wants to try for it. If not for Mr. Huang’s name, the faculty might have been disbanded entirely. What future can she have!”

Wei Ling’s expression softened as well. She forced a smile and said, “She’s just so used to being wild. This is what happens. Let’s go.”

“Mm.”

Qiao Chen was afraid that she’d think about Qiao Nian’s results again, so she kept quiet and stayed obedient this whole time.
