1492 Sister Nian Slapped Her Backhand
Jiang Xianrou wished she could find a place to hide. She opened her mouth with difficulty and let out a dry and unpleasant note.
“I…”
Robert looked at her intently, as if he wanted her to introduce him to Qiao Nian.
Jiang Xianrou’s mind was a mess. Her breathing was rapid and nervous, and she didn’t know how to answer.
She kept glancing in Qiao Nian’s direction.
The other party’s expression was arrogant and very lazy, as if she had no intention of paying attention to her.
Jiang Xianrou retracted her gaze in humiliation and bit her lip. Her eyes flickered as if 10,000 ants were crawling on her heart.
She weighed the loss quickly. In spite of her utter humiliation, she intended to admit it.
“We know each other—”
The girl’s lazy voice sounded at the same time. “No.”
Robert was listening to her at first, but the moment Qiao Nian spoke, his attention was immediately drawn to her. He didn’t hear what Jiang Xianrou had said at all.
“You don’t know them?” Robert wasn’t surprised. He nodded in sudden understanding and explained, “I thought you knew them.”
This did not include Qi Yan.
However, Qi Yan still felt embarrassed.
Needless to say, Jiang Xianrou’s face turned pale. Not long after, her face turned red. Her fingernails were about to pierce into her palm, but she didn’t feel any pain. She only felt as if Qiao Nian’s words had slapped her in the face. Her face turned red and green. Her humiliation doubled when she thought of how she had said ‘We know each other’ at the same time.
Qiao Nian did it on purpose!
She deliberately embarrassed her!
Jiang Xianrou was no longer willing to say another word. She even wanted to leave immediately.
However, she didn’t dare to leave. She had just reported to the Pharmacy Association. She didn’t dare to be impudent at all in front of Zhong Yiliu…
Qiao Nian didn’t look at Jiang Xianrou and Tang Wanru’s reactions as she replied calmly, “No.”
Qi Yan’s lips twitched. Not to mention anything else, she felt embarrassed for the Jiang mother and daughter.
However, she was quite embarrassed herself at this moment and could not be bothered to feel embarrassed for others.
Robert exclaimed in disappointment when he heard that she didn’t know Jiang Xianrou and the others. His enthusiasm for them had obviously decreased.
But after a moment’s thought, he made a brief introduction for both sides.
“Let me introduce you! This is the new member of our Pharmacy Association, Jiang Xianrou. Beside her is her mother, and the other is the Countess, surnamed Qi. Speaking of which, they are also from Country Z.”
Robert immediately turned back to Qi Yan and the others. “This is the dean’s friend, Q.”
Zhong Yiliu wasn’t interested in socializing. He didn’t have much patience when he heard that Qiao Nian didn’t know these people. It was obvious that he was quite impatient.
Qi Yan had never been humiliated like this before, but she was much better at socializing than Jiang Xianrou and the others. She immediately put away the complicated feelings in her heart and smiled. “Hello, Miss Qiao. It’s our first time meeting. Please take care of me in the future.”
Qiao Nian had no intention of being polite to her. She said coldly, “I’m not in the position to take care of you.”
This meant… they weren’t that close!
Qi Yan’s smile froze. She hadn’t expected Qiao Nian to not give her any face. She held it in and didn’t show it.
“Hehe. Miss Qiao, you’re too polite. You’re young and promising. We still need you to take care of us in the future.”
