nChapter 22: Jiang Family’s Little Cousin

nThe two of them slept until five in the afternoon.

nLe Yao was the first to get up and made a pot of lotus root pork rib soup. She left a bowl for Qiao Qiao and brought the rest to the hospital. When she realized that Han Baozhu was in a good mood, she was relieved. She chatted with them for a while before going back to dress up and rushing to Jiang Xiaohui’s welcome party with Qiao Qiao.

nAt the Earl’s Club.

nThis was the most impressive private clubhouse in the entire Xiling City. Of course, it represented the money of the rich.

nThe first floor was the lobby. It was no different from an ordinary bar. There was a performance every night. Anyone with money could come in and play, but those above the second floor required membership cards for entry. Ordinary people could not go up at all.

n“Let’s go up and greet them first. We can come to the first floor to dance later.” Qiao Qiao pulled Le Yao up to the second floor.

n“Okay.” Le Yao nodded.

nHan Binglan had liked dancing since she was young and was very good at it. She, Le Yao, had also learned disco and even danced the square dance. Therefore, she felt a little restless.

nThere were already several people in a large, super-luxurious private room on the second floor. There were men and women, led by Qiao Qiao’s young cousin, Jiang Xiaohui.

nQiao Qiao was from the Imperial Capital. Her father, Qiao Feng, was the president of the Qiao Corporation, and her mother, Jiang Lin, was the youngest daughter of the Jiang family in Xiling City.

nThe Jiang family of Xiling City was a Chinese medicine family. Their ancestors had produced several generations of imperial physicians. The current Old Master Jiang, Qiao Qiao’s grandfather, was a famous Chinese medicine expert. Her grandmother, on the other hand, was a renowned artist.

nAs Qiao Qiao was born prematurely and her body had always been quite weak, she had been staying at her grandfather’s house to recuperate. After that, she had been attending school here.

nQiao Qiao had two uncles, who had two sons each and no daughters. Therefore, the Jiang family doted on Qiao Qiao, especially the four cousins.

nJiang Xiaohui was the youngest son of her second uncle’s family. He was also the youngest of her four cousins. Previously, he had been studying abroad and studied AI intelligence. He graduated last year and only returned after spending a year overseas.

n“My little sister is here.” Jiang Xiaohui hurriedly got up and hugged Qiao Qiao before greeting Le Yao.

nLe Yao greeted everyone calmly, but those people looked at her strangely.

nXiling City was only so big. Nangong Jue was good-looking and capable, and he was from the Nanggong family. Therefore, few people did not know of Nangong Jue. As his wife, Han Binglan was once the most envied woman in the entire Xiling City.

nNow, Yan Zimeng has returned. Although the divorce had not been announced, everyone had a strong imagination for such gossip. Therefore, how jealous they were of Han Binglan previously was how sympathetic they were to Le Yao now.

nLe Yao was speechless.

nWas she really worth that much sympathy? Their eyes were so revealing.

n“Have a seat,” Jiang Xiaohui called out to everyone. He had always been thick-skinned and did not notice the strange looks in everyone’s eyes. “Kezi, quickly call Mengzi and ask him when he will arrive. And Qianqiu…”

nZhang Dake took out his phone and went out to make a call.

n“Cousin, why didn’t you bring a foreign sister-in-law back for me?” Qiao Qiao glanced at everyone, then pulled Le Yao to sit on the sofa. “Let me tell you, your mother is anxious. She’ll probably drag you on a blind date in the next few days.”
