Chapter 1550 - 1550 Why Are You Here?

1550 Why Are You Here?

Outside the banquet hall.

Jiang Xianrou was already looking forward to their arrival.

It had been a long time since she had seen Qin Si and the others.

She hadn’t even been hopeful.

She tacitly acknowledged that Qin Si and the others would not give her face. Who knew that the tables would turn and Qin Si would suddenly send a message saying that he was coming over?

Jiang Xianrou’s beautiful eyes were bright, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She was in a very good mood.

Jiang Yao helped arrange for a few guests to enter. Seeing that she was waiting for someone outside, he walked over and asked, “Xianrou, why are you standing here? Is anyone else coming?”

“Yes, Master Wang and the others are coming.” Jiang Xianrou didn’t hide it from him. Then, she saw someone from the corner of her eye.

Her eyes lit up. She ignored Jiang Yao and immediately went over. “Qin…”

She saw the girl behind Qin Si before she could finish speaking.

Qiao Nian was too ostentatious.

Even if she was surrounded by a group of people, it did not affect others from being the first to discover her existence.

Jiang Xianrou’s expression changed, and her tone immediately became unfriendly. “Why are you here?”

Her words were clearly directed at Qiao Nian, but the girl did reply.

Qin Si was unhappy. He stood in front of Qiao Nian and said, “I asked Sister Qiao to come with me. Why? You don’t welcome us? Forget it, then.”

“That’s not what I meant.” Jiang Xianrou reacted fast.

She knew that because of Qiao Nian, she had had many conflicts with Qin Si and the others. If she showed any more hostility, Qin Si might not give her any face.

Despite her discomfort, she suppressed it and forced a smile. She looked in the girl’s direction and said meaningfully, “I just didn’t expect her to come. I couldn’t get through to her when my father called earlier. I thought she wasn’t in Beijing.”

She had been staying in the Pharmacy Association for the past two weeks. She didn’t even know when Qiao Nian returned from Country M.

Jiang Zongnan had mentioned inviting Qiao Nian to lunch.

Unfortunately, he and Jiang Yao called Qiao Nian, but they couldn’t get through.

She didn’t want Qiao Nian to come over to cause trouble for her.

After all, even if she didn’t see anyone, she wouldn’t remember that she had met Qiao Nian in Country M. She didn’t have to wonder why Qiao Nian knew the dean.

Now that she saw the flamboyant figure in the crowd, all of Jiang Xianrou’s memories surged back. She once again recalled her meeting with the girl in the Pharmacy Association.

After that, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t find out Qiao Nian’s relationship with the Pharmacy Association. She also couldn’t find out what identity Qiao Nian had used to appear there.

So far, she only knew that Qiao Nian had a good relationship with Zhong Yiliu.

They were friends.

As for why two people with such a big age difference knew each other and how they became friends, she had no idea.

Jiang Xianrou’s expression changed several times before she finally took a deep breath and calmed down.

She was quite good at putting on a show after she returned from the Pharmacy Association. She smiled slightly, turned her head, and said to the girl, “Qiao Nian, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming back? Mom and I were worried that it wouldn’t be safe for you to be alone outside… It’s good that you came back safely. Next time you go on a long trip, remember to tell your family. Uncle doesn’t know that you went to Country M, right?”
