Old Master Jiang put down his teacup calmly and answered meaningfully, "You forgot that Old Master Ye is here today, too."
Jiang Zongnan instantly understood. "On Young Master Ye's account?"
As he stood at the door to welcome the guests, he realized that most of the families here had good relations with the Ye family.
As for the small portion of others... he didn't think too deeply about it.
They felt that Qiao Nian, a student from Rao City, couldn't know so many people even if her results were superb. Moreover, some of them were people who barely even turned up for social events.
He was about to mention Ji Nan to Old Master Jiang.
To his surprise, Jiang Weishang walked past him and looked at the door. He was no longer as calm and composed as before. He revealed a worried expression and asked, "Where's Nian Nian? Did you call to ask? Why isn't she here yet?"
Old Master Jiang paused for a moment before continuing, "I just called her, but she didn't answer. Did something happen on the way?"
He didn't care why so many people came to Qiao Nian's school promotion banquet. At such a ripe age, he was more concerned about his granddaughter's safety than these useless things.
Jiang Zongnan looked back but did not see Qiao Nian. He pursed his lips and said immediately, "I'll call her. She should be here soon. I asked her previously, and she said she got off the plane and was on the way. She'll be here in about half an hour. She should be almost here..."
Old Master Jiang nodded, but it appeared that he did not hear Jiang Zongnan mention the "half an hour". He said worriedly, "Call her and ask."
As soon as Qiao Nian walked into the dining area, Jiang Zongnan's call came in. She raised her eyes and frowned. Although she had already arrived, she did not hang up. She picked up the call and placed the phone by her ear.
"Hello... Mm, I'm here. I was downstairs and couldn't answer my phone..."
She glanced up and saw that the banquet hall was crowded. Many of the tables were filled with people, and there were more people than she had expected.
