Chapter 979: Sister Nian, Something Has Happened

Beep, beep. 

Her phone had been beeping non-stop since she had the signal.

Qiao Nian knew that during the time she was watching the show, many people were looking for her.

She thought it was Qin Si or Nie Mi.

To her surprise, she looked down casually and realized that it was mostly people from Rao City who had sent her messages.

[Qiao Nian, I called you, but your phone was switched off. If you find it convenient, return my call. I’ll wait for you.]

The person who sent the message was Shen Hui.

Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows, surprised that Shen Hui would message her.

Ever since the end of the college entrance examination, during the time that she left Rao City and arrived in Beijing, Shen Hui rarely sent her any messages unless she had to contact her for school matters.

However, during festivals or when the weather in Beijing got cold, Shen Hui would occasionally send her a message.

Every time she received those messages, her heart would feel warm.

Qiao Nian frowned and looked at the message Shen Hui had sent her again. Even though it was just a cold text, she could feel the other party’s anxiousness.

What happened?

Qiao Nian pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes. She was in no hurry to call Shen Hui. Instead, she left and scrolled through WeChat.

As expected, Liang Bowen, Shen Qingqing, and Chen Yuan had left her some messages as well.

Liang Bowen’s was at the top.

Qiao Nian lowered her head and pulled down the brim of her cap. Her long legs were casually placed against the wall. They were straight and proportionate. Her expression did not change as she tapped on Liang Bowen’s profile picture.

His message was very succinct.

It was eye-catching.

Just one sentence.

[Sister Nian, something has happened!]

…

At the Shen Family’s home.

Qiao Chen had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower and drying her hair. Her soft chestnut hair hung on her shoulders, and her skin looked even fairer and slightly pink under the water. She looked innocent and harmless.

After she came out, her cell phone, which had been thrown onto the bed, rang.

Qiao Chen calmly put down the towel, walked over, and bent down to pick up the phone.

The caller ID showed that it was Shen Qiongzhi’s number.

She lowered her lashes, her features delicate and gentle. She placed the cell phone next to her ear and answered the call.

“Hey, Mom.”

The moment the call went through, Shen Qiongzhi’s worried voice came from the other side. She asked, “Chen Chen, why did you ask me for that information previously? The more I think about it, the more worried I feel. That’s why I called to ask you. You must not do anything stupid! If you expose that matter, given Qiao Nian’s personality, she will definitely not let you off. That matter itself isn’t glorious for us, either. You…”

Qiao Chen’s eyes darkened. She gently interrupted her, “Mom, I know. I’m not as stupid as you think. Don’t worry. I just suddenly remembered what happened in the past and decided to ask you. I don’t mean anything else.”

“It’s good that you don’t have any other intentions. You must not be rash! Even if she’s recognized by the Jiang family, you have the Shen family backing you. She’s not qualified to compare with you. You don’t have to compete with her and throw your life away. You know that she’s a lunatic, an ingrate. When things get rough, she disregards her family!”

Seeing that Shen Qiongzhi’s nagging wouldn’t stop anytime soon, Qiao Chen called her impatiently, “Mom!”

Silence.

Shen Qiongzhi quieted down as expected.

Seeing that she had quieted down, Qiao Chen was no longer as impatient as before. She controlled her emotions and said calmly, “I know all that you said. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything stupid. She’s not worth it!”
