Wei Ling reached home, exhausted, in the wealthy district of Beijing.
"I'm back."
In the living room, Shen Jingyan sent someone to pick Shen Qiongzhi and Qiao Weimin up from the airport. Qiao Chen was sitting by the side as the few of them chatted.
Upon hearing something, Shen Jingyan looked over and saw that she'd returned. She got up and approached her. "You're back? Are you tired?"
Wei Ling saw how thoughtful he was to get her bag and felt much more at ease. She shook her head and said, "I'm alright."
Shen Jingyan handed her bag over to the housemaid and asked her, "Did you see Master Nie today?"
Qiao Chen was standing by the couch politely, but upon hearing this, her eyes couldn't help but light up as she turned towards Wei Ling. Her heart was practically in her mouth as she wrung her hands.
Wei Ling didn't even glance in her direction. She took off her scarf and said helplessly, "I did see him, but Master Nie did not give me any face. He rejected me right away.
I even bumped into Tang Wanru and her daughter. They were also looking for Master Nie. In the end, Master Nie did not agree to anyone, he simply said he was not accepting any disciples."
Shen Jingyan was not surprised by that. He simply sighed and said, "Ah, as I guessed. If Master Nie agreed so easily, he wouldn't be Master Nie any more! Forget it, we aren't pinning all our hopes on him anyway. If this doesn't work, we can think of something else."
Wei Ling thought so, too. She nodded in acknowledgment.
They had wanted to go through Master Nie as it was a shortcut to success. Qiao Chen could ride on Master Nie's fame to enter the elite circle of Beijing.
