Without waiting for the person on the other end to ask, she looked at the time and lowered her eyes, saying slowly, "About half an hour to the dining venue."
Her plane landed at 10:30 AM. She left the terminal at 10:40 AM. She could arrive at around 11:10 AM. If she encountered a traffic jam on the way, she might be delayed until 11:30 AM.
The mealtime was set to be at noon. No matter what, she would arrive early.
Initially, Qiao Nian thought that Jiang Zongnan was calling to urge her to go over earlier. Unexpectedly, the man on the other end of the line was silent for a moment. A hint of guilt could be detected in his deep voice as he said awkwardly, "There's no hurry. Come over slowly. Be careful on the way."
Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Nian Nian."
Jiang Zongnan called her name again.
Qiao Nian put her hand on the windowsill and narrowed her eyes. Her expression was lazy and casual. She hummed and reacted quickly. "What happened?"
"I..." Jiang Zongnan seemed to find it difficult to speak. He didn't know how to tell her, but he had to. Qiao Nian would be here soon. He took a deep breath and said in an embarrassed tone, "Um... there might not be many people at the school promotion banquet today. Only a few family friends are coming."
Qiao Nian's eyes darkened, and her hand paused on the window for a second. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised and her eyes were quite deep.
She didn't care how many people were coming, but she could tell from the tone of Old Master Jiang's earlier call that the Jiang family had originally planned to hold a grand banquet. There must have been an 'accident' in the middle, and in the end, not many people were willing to come.
