Qiao Nian didn't look at the reactions of those people standing by the entrance.
Mainly because she couldn't be bothered.
Noon was approaching, and the people who were supposed to come were arriving.
Her cell phone rang non-stop.
Before she managed to have a proper conversation with Yuan Yongqin, Wei Lou and Su Huaiyuan arrived at the same time.
Both of them didn't seem to have brought a present as they greeted her.
"Morning, Qiao Nian."
"Happy birthday, Nian Nian."
Yuan Yongqin was stunned for a moment when she saw Su Huaiyuan. She had no idea Qiao Nian knew him and intuitively turned to her with a questioning look.
Qiao Nian received that side-eye and casually explained to her, "Grandpa Su was a patient of mine."
Yuan Yongqin and Wei Lou both knew her identity. They immediately showed understanding and didn't probe further.
Qiao Nian wasn't planning to explain much, either. She would need more time to make things clear to them.
She glanced at her cell phone and then said to the people around, "We'll wait for a bit more. A few more
friends are arriving, we'll enter once they're here."
Liang Bowen was completely sold. Even his soul had gone numb and immune. He now raised a hand and said, "That's alright, I'm not hungry yet anyway."
"Me too."
The rest of Class A echoed him.
Be it Yuan Yongqin or Su Huaiyuan, these students who spent most of their time in school had no exposure to this circle of people.
To them, Yuan Yongqin and Su Huaiyuan were just elders whom Qiao Nian knew.
Rather than get caught up with this, Jiang Tingting and the other girls were more interested in Wei Lou.
Ooh, that friend of Sister Nian's was so handsome. And that dressing... how suave!
