Master Wang, Which Table Should We Sit At?

Zhong Yiliu ignored them. He drank the tea leisurely and looked calm.

It was as if what these people said had nothing to do with him.

Ji Lingfeng didn’t care about what they said. Instead, he tilted his head and asked Zhong Yiliu casually, “Elder Zhong, you know Qiao Nian. What kind of person do you think she is?”

Ji Lingfeng wasn’t a simple person in the independent continent. Even the Pharmacy Association couldn’t offend him.

Zhong Yiliu thought for a moment. “Are you talking about Qiao Nian?”

Ji Lingfeng nodded gently. He didn’t rush him.

The other people at the table looked at Zhong Yiliu. All of them were filled with curiosity. They really wanted to know some news about the heir of the Xie family.

Zhong Yiliu’s expression was serious as he looked at Ji Lingfeng and the other curious people seriously. He only replied calmly, “Oh, she’s a genius.”

Everyone at the table was in an uproar.

“Genius?” Someone couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “Elder Zhong, what do you mean by that?”

“That’s right, Elder Zhong. What’s a genius? Genius isn’t a word to describe a person.”

They thought that Zhong Yiliu would say that the other party was a sensible and kind person. No one expected Zhong Yiliu’s evaluation of Qiao Nian to be only one word—genius!

Zhong Yiliu was unwilling to continue. He shut his mouth and waited for the banquet to begin.action

…

On the other side, outside the banquet hall.

Xie Tingyun held Qiao Nian’s hand and whispered something to her.

“Nian Nian, you should have experienced this long ago. Unfortunately…” She seemed to want to mention Ji Qing, but she only smiled and gently stroked the girl’s hair. “Today is a happy day. I shouldn’t have mentioned this.

“Follow me later. I’ll introduce you to some elders.”

“Yes.” Qiao Nian didn’t seem to mind her half-sentence. She was very good-tempered.

The heartache in Xie Tingyun’s eyes intensified. Then, she continued, “I know you don’t like these occasions. I’ve discussed it with your Uncle Nan. We didn’t want to make such a scene in the beginning, but this is the fastest way to introduce you to the people in the independent continent. In the end, we chose to eat this method. Nian Nian, do you mind?”

Qiao Nian entered the banquet hall with Xie Tingyun, Nan Tianyi, and the others.

The gazes of the people from 30 tables fell on her.

She pressed down on her baseball cap, restrained her bandit aura, and replied to Xie Tingyun gently, “Aunt Xie, I don’t mind.”

Xie Tingyun’s heart was filled with soft motherly love at seeing how sensible she was.

Since they had already entered, Xie Tingyun didn’t say anything else. She wanted to bring Qiao Nian to get to know her connections in the independent continent.

Qiao Nian looked at Ye Wangchuan, Qin Si, and the others, pursed her lips, and said helplessly, “I’ll go with Aunt Xie first. What about you?”

Ye Wangchuan had one hand in his pocket, his bearing especially outstanding. He smiled at her. “Uncle Nan has arranged a seat for us. Don’t worry about us.”

Qiao Nian let out a “hmm” and added before she left, “I’ll look for you when I’m done.”

“Mm.”

Ye Wangchuan nodded.

Only then did the girl restrain her unruliness and follow Xie Tingyun.

…

Qiao Nian walked away.

Qin Si and Gu San were at a loss for what to do now.

Qin Si had seen many such occasions in Beijing, so it was fine to him. He looked up at the noble and lazy man and asked softly, “Master Wang, what table should we sit at?”
