Chapter 2138
2138 You Want Sister Nian to Be Xie Xinyao’s Assistant? Dream On
Indeed.
Xie Xinyao frowned and stared at him for a long time.
She suddenly remembered the off-road vehicle she saw outside the Mountain Sea Pavilion and the man inside the vehicle.
Could this Ye Wangchuan be Qiao Nian’s… boyfriend?
Xie Xinyao grew frustrated as this thought passed through her mind. She felt like she was being suppressed everywhere, making her unable to breathe.
Her expression became visibly ugly the moment she saw Qiao Nian. Anyone with eyes could tell that she harbored deep hostility towards her.
“It’s you?”
Xie Xinyao’s tone was cold as she rushed towards the girl.
Xie Tingyun was still talking to Ye Wangchuan and the others. Hearing this, she immediately frowned and said warningly, “Xinyao, what are you doing?”
Nan Tianyi also pulled a long face. He could no longer hide his dissatisfaction.
Mother Xie reacted quickly and immediately stood in front of Xie Xinyao. She looked dignified and elegant as she sized up Qiao Nian. A trace of disdain and contempt quickly flashed across her eyes before an intimate smile appeared on her face. “Is this the goddaughter you mentioned?”
She reached out towards Qiao Nian. “Your name is Nian Nian?”
Qiao Nian dodged her hand without a trace. Her eyes showed frustration, but because of Xie Tingyun, she still gave her face and replied, “Qiao Nian.”
“Qiao Nian?” At first, Mother Xie was a little embarrassed and angry. She felt that Qiao Nian had taken advantage of their Xie family and was too arrogant.
At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something. Coupled with her daughter’s reaction, she realized something. “You’re the newcomer who entered the research institute this year.”
These words were filled with malice.
Qiao Nian pressed the brim of her cap, ignoring her.
The smiles on Qin Si and Gu San’s faces faded.
Qiao Nian’s godmother’s relative was a little annoying.
The atmosphere was heavy.
Mother Xie was someone who had seen the world. She quickly realized that her emotions were too exposed, and everyone noticed her attitude.
She was not embarrassed. Instead, she quickly adjusted her mood and smiled. “I heard from Xinyao that you’re quite talented. Our Xie family needs a talented person to help Xinyao in the future. Otherwise, I won’t be at ease if she’s alone in the research institute.”
She was saying that Qiao Nian would only be Xie Xinyao’s assistant in the future and would always be suppressed by her.
She even emphasized that everything in the Xie family belonged to Xie Xinyao. Xie Xinyao was the legitimate heir of the Xie family.
Qiao Nian was quite impatient. Her eyes were cold and dark, but she still endured it and did not retaliate.
She could hear the warning in the meaning between the lines.
However, she had agreed to Xie Tingyun and Nan Tianyi’s proposal not because she had any ulterior motives for the Xie family.
She had never thought of taking advantage of them.
If she had known that these people from the Xie family would have such a huge reaction, she might not have agreed so easily back then.
“Sister-in-law, if you’re not here to eat, why don’t I get Tianyi to send you back?” Xie Tingyun looked weak, but her tone was unyielding at this moment. She did not even give Mother Xie any face.
Mother Xie’s expression froze. She was a little embarrassed. However, she had been exposed to big scenes before. She tightened her shawl around her neck and smiled. “How could that be? Of course, I came today to eat sincerely. I even prepared a gift for Nian Nian.”
After saying that, she pulled out the box containing the brooch.
