Cheng Feng Corporation’s Chairwoman.
“Oh.” Shen Qingqing nodded half-knowingly, then mumbled, “Is Sister Nian’s ‘friend’ as powerful as the people Qiao Chen invited?”
She mainly wanted to give that Xu Xu a slap to the face.
She was too detestable.
“Uh... how do I say this... almost.” Liang Bowen was unsure how to explain it to her. “Sister Nian’s friend is very powerful, but Qiao Chen invited many people. In terms of quantity, Qiao Chen still has the upper hand.”
The Qiao family invited Tang Wei and that Steven, so it was hard to compare.
Shen Qingqing felt a little better now, at least.
They spoke very softly and nobody else could really hear them.
Qiao Nian and Yuan Yongqin didn’t, either. They just knew that the two of them were whispering to each other.
“Mm, they’re my classmates.”
“What a bunch of good kids.”
Yuan Yongqin naturally had a good impression of the people around her. She smiled and handed the bag to Qiao Nian. “Oh right, I wasn’t sure what to get you for your birthday, so I bought this. Just keep it.”
“What is it?” Qiao Nian was curious, not knowing what Yuan Yongqin got for her.
Yuan Yongqin smiled and encouraged her. “It’s not much. Why don’t you open it up and take a look.”
She already put it this way. So, being a sensible person, Qiao Nian took the item out of the Seven paper bag.
It was a leather bag.
Qiao Nian raised a brow.
Shen Qingqing, Chen Yuan, and the rest came over. They were curious to see what gift this “friend” who was as old as their aunt would get for Sister Nian.
Qiao Nian’s fair hand opened the leather bag.
Three property deeds were inside.
Their expressions froze.
What in the world... had they been lost in the world of books for too long? Did they miss the memo that the trending birthday gifts now were no longer cakes, flowers, and bags but rather properties?!
Yuan Yongqin didn’t think it was much, though. She smiled and said, “I know you spend money freely and don’t buy properties. You leave your money in the bank and aren’t into investments, either. It’s your birthday, and I wasn’t sure what to get you. But Su Mo reminded me of new listings in Beijing the other day, by Chang’an Street. So, I bought you three units...”
“Oh.” Properties again. Qiao Nian wasn’t surprised anymore.
Yuan Yongqin was always getting her properties. She bought properties for her for every occasion. Sometimes, even on an online festival like the 11.111, Yuan Yongqin would get her property too. After seeing the property deeds in the leather bag, Qiao Nian didn’t show much of a reaction. She put them back in and held the bag casually as she said, “Aunt Yuan, you’ve bought me many units. You don’t have to get me more...”
“I just like getting them for you.” Yuan Yongqin smiled and patted her shoulder gently. “Nian Nian, you’re still young, you don’t know it yet. In any case, I’ll leave these with you. You can sell them anytime you want to.”
Qiao Nian had no way around it and could only nod helplessly.
One of them gave it casually, and the other received it casually.
All her Class A friends widened their eyes so much, they almost fell out of their sockets.
Liang Bowen took a deep breath, but the shock on his handsome face was obvious.
He couldn’t see Yuan Yongqin and Qiao Nian the same way.
