Jiang Zongjin instinctively frowned and wanted to refuse. Then, he looked at the girl beside him and hesitated.

He had been buried in scientific research all these years and had no interest in anything else. After so many years, he had never gotten a driver’s license.

He was used to taking buses and subways. At worst, he could walk to the station or scan the code and ride a small yellow car. In the past, he had thought that his lifestyle was fine and quite healthy. As long as he was happy, he did not have to care about what others thought.

However, at this moment, Jiang Zongjin hated himself for not learning how to drive. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so embarrassed that he needed Jiang Yao to send them off.

They had a conflict with Jiang Yao.

According to his temper, even if he walked back today, he would not take Jiang Yao’s car.

However, Jiang Zongjin had to consider Qiao Nian.

Jiang Yao saw his uncle’s hesitation and said smoothly, “It’s not easy to get a taxi here. It’s fine. Let me send you back.”

Jiang Yao’s handsome face was filled with sincerity.

However, Jiang Xianrou, who was standing beside him, did not hide her cold expression and mockery at all. Even if she did not speak, anyone could tell that she looked down on him!

Disdain filled the corners of her eyes!

“…” Jiang Zongjin felt as if he had eaten a fly. He couldn’t swallow it or spit it out. He felt uncomfortable holding it in his heart and was about to speak.

The girl walking behind him said lazily, “No need to trouble yourself. We’ll get a ride back ourselves.”

“Here…” Jiang Yao still wanted to say something.

Jiang Xianrou interrupted him. “Brother, it’s fine if she doesn’t want to take our car, but why force her? Let’s leave first. Anyway, she made it very clear that in the future, we won’t greet each other when we meet.”

Jiang Yao frowned fiercely. He wanted to say something but held it in again, but he subconsciously turned his head to see Qiao Nian’s reaction. However, he realized that the girl did not show any reaction. Her fair face was cold as if she had not heard what Jiang Xianrou had said. One hand was in her pocket, and the other was holding her phone as if she was sending a message. Her posture was casual and restrained, and the face hidden under the brim of her cap was ostentatious and evil.

Jiang Yao only took a look before retracting his gaze. He frowned again.

He still felt that Qiao Nian’s face was too attractive.

When he looked at it again, he was still a little dazed by her beauty. He was already unable to resist it, let alone outsiders.

It was not unreasonable for Xianrou to be worried that Qiao Nian would go astray.

With such a face, Qiao Nian was the top scholar in the college entrance examination and was representing the country in the competition. If her uncle did not interfere, this kind of young and famous halo would sooner or later go to the heads of little girls. Qiao Nian was not in a small place like Rao City. Beijing was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Many families could not be offended.

What if Qiao Nian caused trouble one day and they couldn’t resolve it?

Why didn’t Uncle and Grandpa understand his painstaking efforts?!

He felt that he was deliberately looking for trouble because he was ostracizing Qiao Nian.

Jiang Yao could tell that Jiang Zongjin and Qiao Nian did not intend to take his car, so he did not insist. Holding the car key in his hand, he turned his handsome face to Jiang Xianrou and said, “Let’s go.”

Jiang Xianrou did not even greet him as she walked past Jiang Zongjin and walked straight to the Land Rover by the road.

Compared to her, Jiang Yao was much more polite. Before he left, he even said politely to Jiang Zongjin, “Uncle, I’ll send Xianrou home. We’ll leave first.”

He paused and looked at the empty road. There were no cars. He added, “Give me a call if you and Qiao Nian don’t get a car. I’ll come back and pick you up.”
