Unlike Chen Man's anger, Nan Qiao remained very calm.
Chen Man admired Nan Qiao's calm composure, able to handle anything with ease, completely unfazed.
"Qiaoqiao, you're so calm. Compared to you, I'm really too impulsive." Impulsiveness is the devil!
"I was impulsive too, but the consequences were terrible. Manman, you're different from me, you have the capital to be impulsive. When I was a child, I also wanted to act on impulse, but no one was there to clean up the mess for me."
Chen Man was different, she had family who loved her and could help her clean up her messes.
"Qiaoqiao, you had it so hard before, thankfully your aunt found you. I was also blind to see people clearly, mistaking pearls for fish eyes, being so good to Bai Yurou, only for her to use me!"
Recalling the past, Chen Man was only left with shame.
Nan Qiao smiled and gently flicked her on the forehead: "Classmate Chen Man, what are you trying to say? Let bygones be bygones, now we're both doing well."
Chen Man laughed, "My Qiaoqiao is still so generous!"
Nan Qiao: "Whatever Li Ning wants to do, it's her right. None of us can stop her. But if she wants to go against me, I won't let her off easily."
Li Ning better not cause trouble!
"I can't believe Li Ning dares to compete with you. Doesn't she know she'll lose miserably? Hope she won't cry when she loses!" Chen Man fiddled with her fingers, eager to see the show. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NoveIＦire.net
Nan Qiao: "Our experiment is nearing its end, this year's school medical competition, you'll lead the team."
Chen Man was excited and surprised: "Qiaoqiao, you're letting me lead the team? I'm not up to it."
"You can do it, you definitely can. You're my right-hand person, my confidant!" Nan Qiao teased playfully.
"Phew, at least I'm not your arch-nemesis." That was a relief, and Chen Man couldn't stop grinning.
Nan Qiao: "Let Xiao Xue help you. If there are other suitable people, you can promote them appropriately. The prerequisite is to pay attention to their character, we can't have people with the wrong values and intentions."
"Don't worry, Qiaoqiao. I promise to complete the task." Chen Man, with her phone in hand, kept typing ceaselessly.
Seeing Chen Man work in an orderly manner, Nan Qiao felt more at ease.
With Chen Man helping her, she could relax a lot.
After handling school matters, Chen Man linked arms with Nan Qiao and went with her to the western restaurant next to the school for a meal.
"This western restaurant got caviar salmon and foie gras flown in today, it tastes really good. Qiaoqiao, today I'm treating you, order whatever you like, no need to be polite with me."
The two of them arrived at the restaurant, took a menu, and ordered the dishes they liked.
Chen Man wanted to drink red wine, but Nan Qiao stopped her.
"Have some drinks instead, there's still work this afternoon, drinking isn't a good idea."
"Alright, whatever you say, you're the boss." Chen Man asked the waiter to replace the red wine with drinks.
The spot they sat in was a corner spot, and a dense plant beside them happened to block Nan Qiao's view.
Soon, Nan Qiao heard a familiar voice.
"Hello, my name is Du Qianqian."
Nan Qiao perked up her ears and sent Chen Man a message: "Don't speak, I know the person behind us."
Chen Man got up from her seat and sat next to Nan Qiao, listening to the people behind them.
"My name is Wang Tianci."
Nan Qiao & Chen Man: "..."
They weren't speechless at the person's name but at the arrogant tone of the man's speech, as if he was the most exceptional in the world.
At this moment, Wang Tianci lifted his chin: "I heard that you're the daughter of the Du Mansion, working at your family's company. I understand women like you very well, go abroad for some gilding and come back to manage family assets, but in reality, you know nothing, just dressed up nicely for family alliances, right."
Du Qianqian almost broke her composure, but she quickly calmed herself down.
Du Qianqian was a little hard of hearing.
Wang Tianci: "I said your family wants to marry you off!"
"What?" Du Qianqian rubbed her ears, once again failing to hear clearly.
Wang Tianci was fuming.
He changed the subject and continued to belittle Du Qianqian: "I heard that your family used to fight internally, very disunited. After we get married, you must listen to me, for the sake of our family's harmony and unity. We're all modern young people, there's no need for dowries at weddings, after all, we're one family, no need to differentiate so clearly."
Du Qianqian clenched her fists, very angry, she didn't expect her aunt to set her up with such a character!
Damn it, is this looking down on her? Or deliberately annoying her!
Wang Tianci smugly: "When marrying, you should obey your husband, I believe we don't even need to buy the three golds, those tacky things can't represent love, don't you think I'm right, I believe you're not a materialistic girl."
Just as Du Qianqian was about to explode, Nan Qiao appeared.
Nan Qiao sat down, gently placed her hand on the back of Du Qianqian's and raised her eyebrows, speaking with a smile.
"You've got a point, so you don't need to find a wife, get a silicone doll instead, it can be as affectionate as you want, choose any look you like, it'll guarantee not to hit back or talk back, and you won't have to worry about having kids, avoiding the pain of raising children, how great."
Wang Tianci was so angry, he pointed at Nan Qiao, his finger trembling.
Nan Qiao's arrival calmed Du Qianqian's raging emotions significantly.
Du Qianqian gave Nan Qiao a grateful smile, thanking her for speaking up for her.
Nan Qiao returned the smile and continued to argue with Wang Tianci.
"Mr. Wang, don't you think this suggestion is excellent? No need to thank me too much, I'm a straightforward person who likes to tell the truth."
I'm going to... &$*...&%^%$##!!
Wang Tianci was half-dead with anger.
"Who are you! I'm on a blind date with Du Qianqian, not with you, how dare you meddle in her affairs!"
"I'm Qianqian's sister, though it's said that people will be punished for not being selfish, one must help when witnessing injustice!" Nan Qiao coldly replied.
Wang Tianci was twitching in anger.
Nan Qiao continued: "Earlier, you hinted at doubts about Qianqian's work, so let me ask you, what's your company's direction? What are your business plans?"
Du Qianqian covered her mouth and chuckled, Nan Qiao was her voice indeed!
Wang Tianci stammered, unable to give an answer.
Nan Qiao asked again: "How much does your family earn annually? How many people are in your family? What books do you read every day, what medicines are you on?"
With these words, Wang Tianci seemed to grasp what was happening.
"You're cursing me! And cursing my family!"
"Which ear of yours heard me cursing your family? I'm genuinely concerned about your family! Knowing your family situation, Qianqian can decide if you meet her criteria!"
Du Qianqian's tense nerves slowly relaxed as she heard Nan Qiao say further: "Since you've bragged about yourself so much, let me test you."
Du Qianqian stopped speaking, she also wanted to hear how Nan Qiao intended to test this blind date candidate!
