Chapter 152 - It's All a Trick

nHe didn’t think that Qiao Nian was having an improper relationship with the old man. He believed that she was just meeting someone that she knew.

nBut who was he?

n

n

nQiao Nian chatted with the kid for a while and managed to calm him down.

nShe looked up and asked him, “You guys haven’t eaten?”

nIt was already 8:40 PM.

nAnd they hadn’t had breakfast.

n

n

nDid he know how to raise a child properly?

nWasn’t he aware that children should have their meals on time because they were growing?

nYe Wangchuan frowned and said, “He refused to eat because he wanted to fetch you. He was worried that we would be late if we ate. We had been waiting for you since 6.”

nQiao Nian smiled.

n

n

nShe just got off school at 6 PM, how could they finish their meal so quickly?

nThank goodness Old Master Shu was tired. If they had continued their conversation for a while longer, wouldn’t that mean that they would wait till 9 PM?

nQiao Nian was speechless and felt touched. She patted the kid’s head and asked him, “What do you want to eat tonight? It’ll be my treat.”

nYe Wangchuan looked at her thoughtfully. “Anything we want?”

nQiao Nian had the money. Hence, she wasn’t afraid of him ordering something expensive. She replied nonchalantly, “Yes. Anything you want.”

nYe Qichen looked at his uncle and wanted to say something.

n

n

nBut he thought about what he threatened just now and kept silent.

nHe wanted to cut his hair so badly.

nGu San thought that Master Wang wanted to get Miss Qiao to treat them to an expensive meal.

nBut they were wrong.

n“Can you cook? You can cook anything. We want to eat something simple that you prepared.”

nQiao Nian was speechless.

n“Can I make you guys tomato omelet noodles?”

n“Okay.”

n

n

nYe Qichen never thought that his uncle was so smart. He nodded and said, “I want to eat noodles made by Sister.”

nHe could cut his hair another day.

nAfter they got in the car.

nQiao Nian was replying to Yuan Yongqin.

nSuddenly, Ye Wangchuan said to her, “Don’t worry about Zhao Jingwei. It will be settled.”

nHe had told Mayor Yuan already. The mayor’s office would be giving them their support.

nQiao Nian raised her brows and said calmly, “I’m not worried. She’s an adult already and should have thought of the implications of her actions. It’s too late for her to regret her actions.

n“She must receive what she deserves. Just because you’re weak doesn’t mean everyone must give in to you.”

nMost people would have thought that if someone was disadvantaged, everyone should give in to them.

nHowever, regardless of her family’s situation or if she lost her dad when she was young, they couldn’t justify her actions.

nIf she hadn’t followed Shen Qingqing, and if the rod hit Shen Qingqing instead of her, how could her parents seek justice?

nJust because she failed didn’t mean she didn’t do it!

n…

n

n

nHui Teng drove back to the house.

nLazing around on the sofa, Jiang Li sat up and greeted them when they entered. “Master Wang. Oh, Chen Chen is here too?”

nYe Qichen looked at him proudly and boasted. “I’m here to eat tomato omelet noodles prepared by Sister.”

n“Tomato omelet noodles?” Jiang Li was confused. He looked at Qiao Nian and followed them in. He asked, “What’s going on, is Nian Nian cooking?”

n“Chen Chen hasn’t eaten dinner because he wanted to pick me up, so I’m cooking noodles for them,” Qiao Nian said calmly, going straight to the fridge. She opened it and asked, “Do we have tomatoes and eggs?”

nDamn!

nDidn’t Master Wang promise he would only pursue her when she enrolled in university?

nYet, he picked her up and made her cook for him. How was this not pursuing her?

nJiang Li scoffed at his hypocritical behavior and exclaimed, “I want to eat it too! I haven’t had dinner as well!”
