1450 Qiao Nian, Who Are You Eating With?
Everyone instinctively followed his gaze—the girl was standing a few steps away from them, as if she was watching a show that had nothing to do with her.
Until all eyes focused on her.
Only then did she raise her head casually. Her gaze was sharp and mocking as she glanced past the crowd and landed on the Jiang family members.
“Why? Have you booked the entire Imperial Mansion today?”
The girl’s voice was cold and hoarse.
The sarcasm was unmistakable.
Jiang Xianrou’s face turned pale. She pinched her palms and was so angry that her eyes turned red. “You!”
How dare she mock them!
Jiang Zongnan didn’t expect Qiao Nian to really be here. He was stunned for a moment, unable to regain his senses.
Frowning, he looked at Jiang Xianrou and the precious coral that had been smashed on the ground. He had a headache. “Alright, Xianrou, there must be a misunderstanding. Nian Nian is not such a person. Go and change your clothes. The Qi family is still waiting for you.”
“Dad!” Jiang Xianrou couldn’t accept his way of handling things. Her face was filled with anger. “She ruined all the gifts the Qi family gave me. If you don’t pursue the matter, are you going to let me off? How am I going to explain myself when the Qi family asks?”
So much commotion outside.
Many guests who had just arrived were attracted over and stopped to watch.
In the crowd, Jiang Yao saw his two colleagues from Tian Chen had finally arrived.
The expression on his handsome face kept changing. He felt extremely embarrassed.
He looked at the girl and hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, “Qiao Nian, what are you doing here?”
He didn’t say he suspected her, but the very fact that he asked the question was tantamount to outright suspicion.
Qiao Nian smiled contemptuously as she glanced at him with her dark eyes and then said in a low voice, “To eat.”
Jiang Yao was speechless.
He frowned. He took a deep breath and stared at the girl intently. “Who are you eating with?”
Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows. She didn’t understand where he got the confidence to interrogate her.
However, Jiang Yao treated her silence as guilt. He lowered his brows even more and said irritably, “Since you came to the Imperial Mansion to eat, you can’t possibly come alone. As you can see, the gift Godmother gave Xianrou was broken for no reason. This gift is very expensive. Just that coral alone is worth more than eight figures.
“I’m not doubting you. I just want to ask exactly who you’re having dinner with. If it’s convenient, could you have that person drop by?”
He spoke reasonably and seemed polite.
However, Qiao Nian suddenly lost interest in arguing with them. She lowered her gaze, her dark eyelashes covering the coldness in her eyes. “If you think that I’m the one who broke Jiang Xianrou’s things, you can call the police if you have evidence. I’ll stay here and wait for the police to find me. But if you don’t have proof…” Her eyes were deep and dark, only mockery left. Her stance was uninhibited, and her lips curved in a sneer. “I stand by what I said,” she said casually.
“Do you own the Imperial Mansion?”
Jiang Yao was speechless.
After saying that, she ignored him. She turned around and pulled the brim of her cap to leave.
“Wait.” Jiang Yao instinctively ran after her.
The other Jiang family members were also restless.
There was no lack of discussion in the crowd.
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence, causing Jiang Yao to break out in a cold sweat.
“I’m meeting her for dinner here. Any objections?”
