Feeling gloomy, Qiao Chen lowered her head, trying to conceal her emotions. Her charming little face turned pale at the moment, and she firmly grasped her skirt.
It was Qiao Nian again!
She felt even more anxious, and pricked her ears, eavesdropping on Shen Jingyan.
Shen Jingyan pulled off the tie on his neck and said regretfully, “I asked her, but she didn’t want to.”
“She didn’t want to?” Wei Ling was a little disappointed.
But it wasn’t surprising.
Qiao Nian was more of an unyielding character than Qiao Chen. Now that she and the Qiao Family were in such a situation, it was normal for her not to want to follow them.
Shen Jingyan was disappointed, but he had a broader vision and a bigger picture. For him, Qiao Nian was the icing on the cake of the Shen Family. It was best to bring her back, but it wasn’t a big deal if they could not do so either! A granddaughter recognized by the Jiang Family, judging from the situation that Old Master Jiang hadn’t brought her back to Beijing, and the Jiang Family was still dominated by Jiang Xianrou, they might not care about Qiao Nian...
In just a short time, he went through the current situation in his heart, and said to Wei Ling, “She also has to go to Beijing to take an exam, which is also at Qing University.”
Wei Ling frowned and looked up at him. “What a coincidence?”
Qiao Chen wanted to attend Qing University.
Qiao Nian also wanted to attend Qing University.
In her memory, Qiao Chen’s grades were better than Qiao Nian’s. It wasn’t easy for Qiao Chen to pass the exam, so it would be even more difficult for Qiao Nian...
Wei Ling asked, “Then, why doesn’t she want to go back to Beijing with you? Have you ever told her, you can find her a tutor to make up for her cultural lessons?”
Shen Jingyan walked to the living room and said, “She still doesn’t want to be with us. I guess the Jiang Family has found a teacher for her!”
Wei Ling felt that this possibility was great and sighed in her heart with some regrets.
Shen Jingyan continued, “But it’s okay, I’ve already given her a gift. She should like it when she sees it.”
Mentioning this, Wei Ling’s expression finally improved, and she smiled. “Yes, there are girls who don’t like diamonds. The gift you bought for her this time is two carats! When she goes to Beijing, we’ll find time to see her again and have a meal with her. Even if she doesn’t come to the Shen Family’s house, we can still meet her often.”
Qiao Chen had also received a gift from Shen Jingyan and the others, which was also a two-carat diamond, in a small box.
She had grown up spoiled and had kept many pieces of jewelry, but the two-carat rough diamond still made her a little excited.
At this moment, upon hearing that Qiao Nian also had it, it was as if she had been poured with a bucket of ice water. So cold!
“Yes.” Shen Jingyan also had this idea, so he spent quite an amount of money on her gift.
In the blink of an eye, he walked to the living room and saw his sister’s family sitting there awkwardly. His eyes were restrained, and he looked at Qiao Chen, who was clutching her skirt tightly. He said in a low voice, “Chen Chen, you’ll have to listen to your Aunt obediently when you’re in Beijing and study hard, OK?”
Qiao Chen subconsciously tightened her grip on her skirt and took a deep breath. She raised her face and said, “I won’t let Uncle down!”
She wouldn’t lose to Qiao Nian, absolutely not!
The reason why Shen Jingyan didn’t avoid their family and directly talked to his wife about seeing Qiao Nian just now was to slap his sister and brother-in-law in the face, and also to remind her.
Seeing her ambition and unwillingness hidden in her eyes, his complexion eased.
Although Qiao Nian was good, she was recognized by the Jiang Family and wasn’t easy to control.
Qiao Chen, on the other hand, belonged to the Shen Family in all aspects. Coupled with her better academic performance and her bigger ambitions, training her might be able to win glory for the Shen Family.
When he thought about it this way, he felt a lot less regretful about not having regained Qiao Nian again.
He had no intention of having dinner with Qiao Nian anymore.
After all, with his status, so many people wanted to have a relationship with him when he traveled to Rao City.
Now that he was here, he must get acquainted with the circle in Rao City.
This was much more useful than coaxing an unrelated niece!
