“I heard that this year’s top scorer of the college entrance examination chose Qing University and not Nanjing University. This time, the top scorer is different from previous years. I heard that she did especially well. Dozens of universities tried to snatch her. It looks like the opening ceremony of Qing University this year will be especially lively.”

Her friend was also from the second-generation circle in Beijing. However, she studied jewelry design overseas. She had just returned to the country and did not know what had happened in Beijing recently.

Naturally, she didn’t know about Qiao Nian’s relationship with Jiang Xianrou.

She was purely curious.

“I wonder if the top scholar of this year’s national college entrance examination will appear at the opening ceremony?”

As they say, the speaker might not have any intentions, but the listener could have their own interpretations.

Jiang Xianrou frowned. Her eyes were quite cold as she replied calmly, “Who knows? I think so.”

After all, how could Qiao Nian not attend a show-off like the opening ceremony?

Recalling what Liang Lu had asked her before she came to Lan Pavilion, Jiang Xianrou restrained the coldness in her eyes and looked at her phone again. She pursed her lips and found Jiang Li’s number on her contact list…

On the other side, in the hotpot restaurant.

Qiao Nian found a quiet seat and pulled out a chair to sit down. The waiter brought the menu over and handed it to her.

She held a pen and casually picked a few dishes before looking up and handing the menu to a man sitting opposite her.

“I chose a few dishes. Look at what you want to eat. Order for yourself.”

With that, she thought about it and added calmly, “Their hotpot tastes good. We can try it.”

Jiang Zongjin stood up and took the menu from the girl, but he did not order anything. He handed the menu to Jiang Li.

“I’m fine with anything. Look at what you like to eat.”

Jiang Li was forced to take the menu and pen from him. Stunned, he almost wanted to say that he could eat anything!

However, looking at his uncle’s slave-like appearance, he silently placed the menu on the table and circled a few more dishes with a pen. He then handed the menu to the waiter and blinked. His voice was like a breeze. “We’ll order these.”

The waiter was a girl. She had recognized him from the moment he came in. Seeing him smiling at her, her heart raced and her face turned pink. She lowered her head and did not dare to look into his eyes. She hurriedly took the menu from him and said softly, “Okay, okay.”

After Jiang Li handed over the menu, he turned to the girl sitting opposite him playing with her phone. “Nian Nian, what do you want to drink?”

Jiang Zongjin couldn’t find a topic to talk about the entire way. Now, he finally found someone he could talk to. He immediately asked, “Yes, Nian Nian. Order whatever you want to drink. Daddy’s treat!”

Qiao Nian raised her eyes and looked at the two attentive people. Raising the corners of her eyes and looking quite wild, she slowly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. Then, she placed it back on the table and lowered her dark eyelashes with a calm expression. “There’s no need. I’ll drink tea.”

“…”

Jiang Li and Jiang Zongjin were speechless.

Jiang Li could only turn around and tell the waiter silently. The waiter then left with the menu.

He waited for her to leave.

The atmosphere in the private room instantly fell silent.

Qiao Nian drank tea from time to time while replying to messages on her phone. Her arms were straight, and she looked very busy. She didn’t look up to speak to them at all.
