1963 X’s True Identity
While they were talking, the girl sitting in the back row was looking down and playing with her phone.
No one knew what she was looking at, but Qiao Nian did not participate in their conversation along the way and kept replying to messages.
Qiao Nian received another message just as the car was about to reach home.
This time, it was from the WLA forum.
Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows slightly and clicked on it.
It was a screenshot of a report that the WLA forum had forwarded to her. It listed evidence that someone had discovered a newcomer from the First Research Institute plagiarizing her.
The WLA forum’s administrator left her a message and asked her very politely if it was true.
Qiao Nian leaned back in her seat and held her phone. Her aura was unrestrained, and there was a rare frivolity between her eyebrows. She quickly typed a reply.
[There is no plagiarism.]
If Ji Ziyin was here at this moment, she would definitely see her nickname in the chat box.
X.

In the afternoon.
Nan Tianyi also heard that Qiao Nian achieved a good result in the group examination. He took the initiative to call her and said that he had booked a private room in the Intercontinental Hotel. They would have dinner tonight to celebrate.
Qiao Nian had never been able to reject the kindness of her elders, so she agreed.
However, she said she would bring two friends over.
She asked Nan Tianyi who would be there tonight. After confirming that only Ji Nan, Xie Tingyun, Xie Yun, and the others would be there, she informed Ye Wangchuan and Qin Si.
Bo Jingxing had returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, saying that he needed to go back to settle some matters.
Gu San followed him back.
Therefore, only Qin Si was still here.
Night.
Qiao Nian brought the two of them as promised.
In the private room.
Ji Nan, Xie Yun, and the others had already arrived.
Nan Tianyi even specially came out to pick them up. When everyone was there, the waiter immediately served all kinds of dishes.
Ye Wangchuan was wearing a khaki windbreaker today. The hem was very long, making him look even more slender and extraordinary.
As soon as he entered the private room, he pulled out a chair for the girl. When Qiao Nian walked over and sat down, he pushed the chair in and pulled out the seat beside her to sit down.
After sitting down, he got the waiter to serve her a cup of warm water. He replaced the wine glass in front of Qiao Nian with it.
Then, he looked up and explained to Nan Tianyi and the others politely, “She can’t drink cold drinks for the next few days. I’ll drink a few glasses on her behalf later. Do you mind?”
Xie Tingyun had long heard from Nan Tianyi that someone would pick Qiao Nian up every time she came to the manor.
He was Qiao Nian’s boyfriend.
Xie Tingyun had long heard of Qiao Nian’s ‘boyfriend’, who had never appeared before. Today, upon seeing his series of actions, she became more and more satisfied. She smiled and asked the girl, “Nian Nian, who is this?”
Xie Yun was actually also looking at Ye Wangchuan.
At first, she thought that her son and Qiao Nian were just short of breaking through the window paper. On the surface, they were friends, but in private, they might develop some feelings for each other.
Who knew that she would bring her ‘boyfriend’ along?
She sized up her son’s ‘love rival’. Although every mother thought that her son was the most outstanding man, at this moment, Xie Yun had to admit that the man in front of her was outstanding. She couldn’t find any fault with him.
She also teased, “Miss Qiao, why don’t you introduce us?”
