"Alright." Qiao Nian agreed quickly.
Seeing that she was no longer treating him as an outsider, Nie Mi smiled, in a much better mood. He looked at Principal Liang, who was still settling the bill, and said to her, "If you've got something on, you can go first. I'll help you let Principal Liang know. Anyway, he's already achieved his goal. Even if you leave a bit earlier, he'll be fine."
It was rather rude to leave first when dining with someone else. But Qiao Nian was really in a rush, so she decided to go ahead with it. "I'll leave first, then."
Nie Mi waved her away. "Hurry up and go. Do what you need to do."
"Mm."
Qiao Nian left with her cell phone in hand.
When she left, she happened to bump into the huge group of Qiao Family members who had also just finished dining. Cheng Wu wasn't with them. He probably left for the hotel first to catch some rest.
What had happened was too awkward. Wei Ling and the rest had rather unnatural expressions as they looked at her.
Qiao Chen as well. She dug her fingernails into her palm and looked at her with a sophisticated expression.
Qiao Nian didn't care about them. She walked right past them towards the main road to flag a taxi.
Bam.
The door of the taxi was shut and the vehicle drove off, leaving the Qiao Family in the dust.
Wei Ling's expression became even more awful. She was heaving and in a daze. After a long while, she turned towards Shen Qiongzhi and said, "What did she mean by this? Pretending not to see us?! We're her elders, after all, but she didn't even greet us."
Shen Qiongzhi had no idea how to respond to her. Her expression froze. She didn't know why Wei Ling was turning to her for an answer.
How would she know what that ingrate meant? She had cut ties with Qiao Nian long ago!
Hadn't Wei Ling done the same?
