Shen Jingyan didn’t speak, but he was very annoyed by her. He took out a box of cigarettes from his bag, took one out, and lit it.
The cigarette was between his two fingers. He seemed extremely frustrated, but he did not smoke.
Shen Jingyan maintained his smoking posture and looked up. He asked her seriously, “Do you think there’s still room for us to repair our relationship with Nian Nian?”
The cigarette in Shen Jingyan’s hand became hot. He pressed the cigarette butt into the marble ashtray beside him and frowned. He refused to give up. “Not at all?”
“No,” Wei Ling said decisively. She looked at him again and felt a little amused and sad like him. “Don’t think about winning her over again!”
He didn’t want to think about it, either.
The problem was that he went out to socialize today. Everyone was chatting about how a heaven-defying student had appeared at the Qing University’s examinations.
That student was clearly his niece. In the past, he could stand up with a smile and inadvertently reveal this information.
However, this time, even though he knew that everyone at the table was talking about Qiao Nian, he couldn’t say that he knew her. He was extremely aggrieved.
He didn’t eat much throughout the meal.
Qiao Nian’s results this time were too heaven-defying. When the results were announced in the morning, everyone in Beijing talked about it. Wei Ling was also in this industry, so of course, she had heard similar rumors.
Seeing Shen Jingyan’s depressed expression and knowing what he was thinking, she took a deep breath and splashed cold water on him. “Thanks to Wei Qi’s incident, she considers us enemies. She had a good relationship with you in the past, but because of me, she will definitely not be like how she was in the past. She has always protected the Chen family, but Wei Qi got someone to beat up Chen Yuan and almost made him unable to go to school. She still remembers all of it. Didn’t she tell us before that she let Wei Qi off, but we’re even now…”
Shen Jingyan recalled the girl’s cold expression when she said this. It was wild and cold.
Qiao Nian was indeed a person who would do as she said. She would never go back on her words.
She had said that she would call it even with them, so she didn’t reply to his message this time!
He felt even more upset.
Things wouldn’t have ended up if they hadn’t been too ruthless in the past.
They could have also benefited from Qiao Nian now that she got first place in Qing University’s examinations.
It had to be known that Qiao Nian’s first place wasn’t as simple as being first place. She had gotten full marks. There had never seen such a situation before.
He heard that the Education Bureau in Beijing was in an uproar this time. They had found a school to hold a meeting because of this. The general meaning was that although they were snatching people, everyone was competing fairly and benignly. The two universities—Qing University and Nanjing University—should not make a big fuss over it.
Even so, dozens of universities had gone to Rao City to block people at First High School.
Seeing that he was in a daze, Wei Ling interrupted him coldly. “Chen Chen also got into Qing University this time, and her results are not bad. She ranked 19th. Although I’m angry that she thought she was smart and caused Wei Qi to be on the news, I’m still satisfied with her results.”
She knew that Shen Jingyan had also heard about Qiao Nian acknowledging Nie Mi as her master. Thus, she continued, “Furthermore, about the music event, I’ve already spoken to Mr. Steven. He agreed to accept Chen Chen as his disciple in front of everyone at the event.. Although one of the reasons is my involvement in this, Mr. Steven agreed to this matter because he really likes that song from before!”
