Cui Yan then said, “Maybe my secretary got the wrong address. As to who that person is... I’m sorry, until I strike a deal with her personally, I cannot leak that information.”
Qiao Nian’s face turned pale.
The group of people standing before the west house were just about to go to the east house when they saw the two Qiao elders come out with two men.
Qin Yongmei greeted them right away, “Dean, why did you come out? Sorry I took a little while – I was just about to go back. Why are you leaving so early? It’s not that convenient for you to come here and share the news personally. You should at least stay for a meal.”
Qiao Ziwen went up to him as well, “She’s right. Dean, please eat with us before you leave. If the food at our place isn’t good enough, we can go to the best restaurant in the City of Brisk. It will be my treat.”
Cui Yan frowned at this, “I’m sorry. The person I chose isn’t Qiao Nian. It was my fault for disturbing your family. Please forgive me.”
His words made Qiao Ziwen and Qin Yongmei’s smile freeze on their faces.
Everyone else at the scene was first stunned, then they made an awkward face. On the inside, they were beyond happy.
Mu Jinghang wasn’t about to give anyone here face. Leaning against the door, he began to laugh and snort like a pig, “Auntie, Qingqing, come out and watch the show!”
Qin Yongmei’s expression was extremely ugly. She stared at Cui Yan, “Dean, did you get something wrong? Didn’t you just ask about Nianian? If the person you chose isn’t Niannian, why are you here?”
Cui Yan didn’t pay attention to what she had said. Instead, he stared at Mu Jinghang’s face. Why did he look familiar?
In the living room, Jun Yexuan watched as Qiao Qing headed upstairs, “Don’t you want to go outside? Maybe you’re the one he chose.”
Qiao Qing didn’t even turn her head, “Not going.”
Just as she was about to go up the stairs, she heard a shout from outside, “Qingqing! Qingqing, are you home?”
Luo Chen pulled away the few people who were blocking the door and came to Qiao Qing’s living room, “Qingqing!”
Mu Jinghang pushed him back out out of the door the moment he stepped in, “Why are you here?”
Mu Jinghang’s number one job right now was to defeat all love rivals of his third brother. It didn’t matter who that person was!
“I’m looking for Qingqing!” Luo Chen answered, “Why are you blocking me?”
Qiao Qing’s fingers tapped against the railing of the stairs and she turned back around.
Jun Yexuan squinted his eyes.
He Wanqing had just sent the servants away to run some errands when she noticed Jun Yexuan’s expression.
“Little Xuan, don’t be jealous. I will watch Qingqing for you. I promise you that I won’t let her cheat on you!” Then, she dragged Qiao Qing down the stairs and left the house.
The moment they got out, He Wanqing had forgotten all the promises she made Jun Yexuan.
She didn’t even pay attention to how Qiao Qing interacted with Luo Chen. instead, she went straight up to Qin Yongmei, “Ayo, ayo, sis-in-law, weren’t you just gloating to me? What’s happening? The one he picked isn’t your daughter?”
She wasn’t someone who enjoyed gossips or liked to laughed at other people. But this person before her was not a person. B!tches and people should not be compared.
This b!tch had been constantly asking for trouble for Qingqing and herself. Did she really think they were mute and didn’t know how to bite back?
Qing Yongmei’s face was purple and she snickered, “Even if they didn’t pick my daughter, there is no way they would’ve picked yours. If you have the time to laugh at me, you should see how much your daughter is worth!”
Right after she spoke, she saw Cui Yan walk towards Qiao Qing.
Qiao Nian’s heart dropped. She felt unsettled.
Everyone’s gaze followed Cui Yan and they were confused as to what he wanted to do.
They watched as Cui Yan walked up to Qiao Qing, “I saw you at the Go competition yesterday. You’re Qiao Qing from Class 22, right?”
Qiao Qing nodded. “What is it?”
Jing He immediately gave Cui Yan a look of blame and bitterness.
See! He didn’t get the address wrong! This man had the audacity to glare at him!
