Even though the lecture hall was noisy, the Qiao Family was silent.

They were utterly humiliated.

They could only watch as Jiang Zongjin led Class A out to lunch. However, Shen Qiongzhi couldn’t control herself and called out when they walked past them.

“Professor Jiang…”

Her sudden yell halted Class A.

Jiang Zongjin stopped as well. He looked at the woman who stopped him and asked puzzledly, “You are?”

Shen Qiongzhi had a lot to ask. She looked at Qiao Nian and asked, “Professor Jiang, is it true what you just said, that you’re Qiao Nian’s dad? Is that true?”

That was impossible!

They must have heard wrongly!

How could a professor from Qing University be Qiao Nian’s father?

Qiao Weimin and Madam Fu looked at him eagerly as well. They wanted him to deny it.

Especially Qiao Chen, she stared hard at him. She bit her lips so hard that they were almost breaking.

They must have heard wrongly.

Jiang Zongjin was from a reputable family. Even though his focus was on academia and he didn’t like to interact with others, he still knew how to judge a situation.

He could tell that they had a malicious intention and wanted him to deny what he said just now.

His face turned cold. He turned and asked Qiao Nian, “Nian Nian, do you know them?”

The way he addressed her…

Qiao Chen’s heart sunk.

She clenched her fists. It felt as though someone was gripping her heart tightly.

She still carried some hope.

Qiao Nian looked at the Qiao Family.

Qiao Weimin, Shen Qiongzhi, and Qiao Chen…

She looked at them with disdain before replying, “I know them.”

Then, she continued nonchalantly, “My foster parents.”

She didn’t hide anything. She said it as though they were strangers to her.

Jiang Zongjin’s eyes turned cold. He turned to look at the Qiao Family with anger in his eyes.

When he found his daughter, he sent someone to investigate how she was treated as she grew up.

If they treated her well, the Jiang family would definitely reciprocate the kindness.

They could even be sworn relatives.

But when he saw the results of the investigation, it broke his heart!

The Qiao Family didn’t treat his darling kindly. They adopted Nian Nian because they needed her to transfer blood to their daughter.

Nian Nian was forced to transfer blood to the Qiao Family’s daughter every month.

Qiao Chen learned piano, dance, drawing, and was enrolled in the best school and wore the best clothes…

Even though Nian Nian was in the family, the Qiao Family never sent her for any enrichment classes!

Qiao Chen was enrolled in a private school, while Nian Nian was enrolled in the worst public school.

Qiao Chen could get into the upper echelon of Rao City with her piano skills.

His Nian Nian was treated as though she was invisible.

He didn’t want to take revenge on them. They had brought her up, after all.

He didn’t want his daughter to be branded as a heartless person.

The Qiao Family wasn’t worth it!

But since they had approached him shamelessly, he wasn’t going to go easy on them.

Hence, when he found out that Shen Qiongzhi was Qiao Nian’s foster mom, Jiang Zongjin’s face turned cold. He looked at her coldly and asked, “Oh, what’s the matter, Madam Qiao?”

Everyone could tell the change in his tone.

He didn’t like Shen Qiongzhi, and he wasn’t going to give her any basic respect!
