Chapter 898: The Slap Was Loud

These words—from Rao City, this year’s college entrance examination top scorer, the nation’s top scholar, and Nie Mi’s last disciple—became keywords in Beijing.

…

In the laboratory of Kang Hui Hospital in Beijing.

The team members were gathered at the experiment table to observe the changes in the rat’s drug reaction. Only Jiang Xianrou found a corner alone and played with her phone.

Liang Lu was one of the top neurosurgeons in the country. The members who could enter her team were all top medical students. They were required to be accomplished in medicine and needed to work hard to qualify.

Only Jiang Xianrou had entered the team based on her strong background.

All the members of the medical team knew that this young lady was not very passionate about medicine. Back then, she had only chosen the clinical faculty as a major because it was the most awesome major in the school. She had only come in to gain some fame, but it wasn’t certain if she would be engaged in a medical-related profession in the future…

Therefore, they were used to Jiang Xianrou being sneaky in her experiments or not coming at all.

At this moment, she went to the side to play with her phone. Everyone pretended not to see and did what they needed to do. They were all busy with their own matters.

…

In the corner, Jiang Xianrou’s expression was not good.

Since half an hour ago, her phone had been exploding with all kinds of calls. Some people who couldn’t contact Old Master Jiang called her asking about Qiao Nian’s school promotion banquet.

She wasn’t in the mood to answer the next call and simply turned her phone off.

However, even so, the news in the group was still ringing non-stop.

Her group had always been small.

They were a bunch of people from Beijing who either played well with her or curried favor with her. She had also dragged Qin Si and Bo Jingxing into the group. She knew that Ye Wangchuan did not like these things, so she didn’t dare to pull him in.

However, with Qin Si and Bo Jingxing, these two living signboards, many second-generation heirs in Beijing racked their brains to enter her group. The group had also become a way for her to gather connections.

Early this morning, she sent a message to the afternoon team in the group chat.

It was originally harmonious.

However, Zhang Yang did not say anything.

She definitely couldn’t stop just because he wasn’t coming. Therefore, she tagged Qin Si again. After all, as long as Qin Si was willing to come out, the level and status of her team would increase.

This was a small matter, to begin with.

She had done this a lot in the past. Basically, Qin Si would give her face and come out to play with her whenever there was nothing to do. But this time…

[I’m having dinner outside… Speaking of which, this person is someone you know. Qiao Nian, my sister. She came from Rao City. Take care of her in the future.]

Jiang Xianrou watched as Qin Si tagged her in the group chat. Her hand holding the phone turned cold. Her entire body felt like it had fallen into an icehouse, and she couldn’t feel a single trace of warmth.

She had never thought that Qiao Nian knew Qin Si. From his posture, it was obvious that he was very close to her!

Otherwise, with Qin Si’s ostentatious character, he couldn’t have said this publicly.

And what Zhang Yang said next, that Old Master Ye, the Wei Lou, and the Wen family had all attended Qiao Nian’s school promotion banquet…

Everyone in Beijing knew that she didn’t like her cousin, who had been reunited with her in Rao City. She would rather stay in the laboratory than attend the banquet. Everyone thought that if she didn’t go, Qin Si and the others wouldn’t go either. However, when this news came out, it was like a slap. Slap after slap landed on her face. The slap was crisp and loud. She could even hear its echo!
