1493 Jiang Xianrou Is Mr. Huang’s Disciple?
After she finished speaking, Qiao Nian had no intention of responding. Qi Yan tidied her hair awkwardly to hide her embarrassment.
Robert noticed Jiang Xianrou and turned to Qiao Nian. “Q, you’re usually in Country Z. Have you heard of Huang Bin?”
Huang Bin was Mr. Huang’s name.
Foreigners didn’t have so many formalities. Perhaps he wanted Qiao Nian to know who he was talking about, so he directly mentioned Mr. Huang’s name.
Then, he introduced Jiang Xianrou to Qiao Nian.
“This new member of our Pharmacy Association used to be Mr. Huang’s disciple. She studied with Mr. Huang for a period of time, but because Mr. Huang’s health wasn’t good, he didn’t continue to teach her.”
Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows in surprise, her expression intrigued.
She had never heard of Jiang Xianrou learning from Mr. Huang. She only knew that Jiang Xianrou had always been learning from Liang Lu.
Later on, Liang Lu was dealt with by the Wei family because of Old Master Wei’s matter. Now, her life was a mess. Not to mention being an authoritative expert in the country, she was almost unable to survive after being dealt with by Wei Lou. She was just short of going to jail…
After Liang Lu was down on her luck, Jiang Xianrou, Liang Lu’s favored student, couldn’t wait to cut ties with her.
Forget helping Liang Lu.
In any case, she had never heard of Jiang Xianrou contacting Liang Lu.
In other words, before Liang Lu’s accident, Jiang Xianrou was still close to Liang Lu. After Liang Lu’s accident, the two of them were no different from strangers.
“She’s Mr. Huang’s disciple?” Qiao Nian’s voice was slightly hoarse, and she sounded very interested.
Robert still didn’t know that his so-called ‘Mr. Huang’s disciple’ was just a lie that Qi Yan made up because Country Z was far away from Country M. Her goal was to make Jiang Xianrou look good. Therefore, he nodded and said solemnly, “Yes, but Mr. Huang’s health is not good, so he won’t take in disciples.”
The people of the Pharmacy Association only cared about strength.
Mr. Huang wasn’t a medicine expert, but he still had outstanding achievements in the medical world. Everyone in the Pharmacy Association had heard of his name and respected this Chinese medicine master very much.
Jiang Xianrou bit her lip so hard that it almost broke. She was afraid that Qiao Nian would expose her lie. On the other hand, she felt as if she had been fried in oil. It was humiliating and embarrassing.
“I…”
Afraid that Qiao Nian would expose their lies, Tang Wanru’s back tensed up as well. She looked at Qiao Nian warily, ready to lie for Jiang Xianrou at any moment.
She had already thought it through. If Qiao Nian exposed their lies, she would say that Qiao Nian had only been in Beijing for less than half a year. It was normal for her not to know about the past.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian had no intention of exposing them. She only gave an ambiguous “Oh,” her eyes filled with interest. She didn’t say anything else.
But just one “oh” made Jiang Xianrou’s face burn. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.
“Q, well…” Robert had wanted to chat more with Qiao Nian.
Beside Qiao Nian, Zhong Yiliu interrupted him impatiently. “Alright, that’s it. You don’t usually talk so much!
“I’ve got things to do with her. Enjoy yourselves. We’ll see ourselves out.”
Robert touched the bridge of his nose and glanced in Qiao Nian’s direction. He was quite reluctant to part with her, but he didn’t dare to snatch her away from his teacher. He could only watch helplessly as Zhong Yiliu led the girl towards the medicine storage room…
Zhong Yiliu had a good relationship with Qi Yan. He ignored Jiang Xianrou and Tang Wanru, but he gave Qi Yan face and bade her farewell before leaving.
However, she only greeted him and did not take it to heart.
