1751 Sorry, You Can’t Go In
Qiao Nian’s dark eyes swept across Zhong Yiliu’s email. Her eyes darkened, but she didn’t say anything and closed the email.
Then, she went online to take a look.
Her Weibo post’s popularity was still growing. It was originally not a big deal, but because too many people were invested in the drama, the popularity increased.
There were several trending topics about it on the trending list.
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes. Not very interested in the follow-up comments and private messages she was tagged in, she went offline after roughly reading the public opinion on Weibo.
At this moment, she received a WeChat video call request from the Independent Continent.
Qiao Nian lowered her eyes and stared at a certain person’s profile picture that popped up on her phone. She pressed her temples and rubbed her dry eyes. Then, she picked up the earpiece on the table, stuffed it into her cochlea, adjusted her phone on the table, and accepted the video call.

On another side, at the entrance of Rhine Apartments.
A guard in a formal uniform said solemnly, “I’m sorry, you can’t enter if you do not live here.”
Jiang Xianrou ran over on impulse. At this moment, she was standing at Rhine’s entrance and looking at the cars and people entering and leaving. Her face was hot and embarrassed.
She gripped her bag tightly and took a deep breath, then looked at the guard and said very nicely, “A relative of mine lives here. I came to look for her.”
Having just let a car with a Beijing license plate pass, the guard turned around and took the time to size her up, as if he didn’t believe that she had relatives living there.
After all, Rhine Apartments was no ordinary place.
Those who could live here were not ordinary people.
However, she was well-dressed and did not look like the kind of person who wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in.
After sizing her up, the guard retracted his gaze and said with a straight face, “Then call your relative and ask her to pick you up or call the guard’s office. I’ll let you in then. Otherwise, you still can’t go in.”
The Jiang family was reputable in Beijing.
As one of the most outstanding women in the capital, Jiang Xianrou had never suffered such humiliation.
But she knew exactly what sort of place Rhine was.
Although the Jiang family had a reputation and status in the capital, they were nothing in a place like Rhine.
Although all the blood in her body rushed to her brain and she was so angry that she wanted to speak to Qiao Nian immediately, she didn’t dare to barge in.
The guard ignored her after telling her to call her relative to let her in.
Jiang Xianrou’s face turned cold. She walked to the side and opened her bag, took out her phone, found Qiao Nian’s number, and dialed it.
The outcome was obvious.
She had long been blacklisted by Qiao Nian.
She couldn’t get through at all.
Her temples bulging, she took a deep breath and walked to the guard’s office to borrow his phone. “I’m sorry, my phone is out of service. Can I borrow your phone? I’ll ask her to come down and pick me up.”
The guard did not expect this as he saw that she was dressed in branded clothes. He looked at her from head to toe and said after a long time, “Wait for me.”
Jiang Xianrou wished she could find a hole to hide in. However, she could only stand straight in place with a numb face and pretend not to see the disdain in the guard’s eyes.
Fortunately, the guard quickly handed her an old-fashioned black phone. “Hurry up and call her. Get your relative to come down and pick you up.”
