881. Nian Nian, Probably Not Many People Are Coming

********
Without waiting for the person on the other end to ask, she looked at the time and lowered her eyes, saying slowly, ''About half an hour to the dining venue.''

Her plane landed at 10:30 AM. She left the terminal at 10:40 AM. She could arrive at 11:10 AM. If she encountered a traffic jam on the way, she might be delayed till 11:30.

The mealtime was set to be at noon. No matter what, she would arrive early.

Initially, Qiao Nian thought that Jiang Zongnan was calling to urge her to go over quickly. Unexpectedly, the man on the other end was silent for a moment. A hint of guilt could be detected in his deep voice as he said awkwardly, ''There's no hurry. Come over slowly. Be careful on the way.''

Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows in surprise.

''Nian Nian.''

Jiang Zongnan called her name again.

Qiao Nian put her hand on the windowsill and narrowed her eyes. Her expression was lazy and casual. She hummed and reacted quickly. ''What happened?"

''I...'' Jiang Zongnan seemed to find it difficult to speak. He didn't know how to tell her but he had to. Qiao Nian would be here soon. She took a deep breath and said in an embarrassed tone, ''Um... there might not be many people at the banquet today. Only a few family friends are coming.''

Qiao Nian's eyes darkened, and her hand paused on the window for a second. The corner of her eyes were slightly raised and her eyes were quite too deep.

She did not care how many people were coming, but she could tell from the Old Master Jiang's call earlier that the Jiang family had originally planned to hold a grand banquet. There must have been an ''accident'' in the middle, and in the end, not many people are willing to come.

''I'm sorry. Your grandfather and I originally wanted to call more people to join the banquet, but many are busy today and can't come...''

Qiao Nian came back to her senses and pulled the brim of her cap. Her expression was calm, clearly not taking it to heart. ''It's fine. It's just a normal meal. It's more comfortable eating with lesser people.''

Jiang Zongnan didn't seem to know what to say. After a long time, he said, ''Then, tell me when you arrive. I'll come out to pick you up.''

''Okay.''

Qiao Nian spoke consciely and only put down the phone slowly after he hung up the call. She narrowed her eyes and leaned against the sect relaxedly as if she was thinking about something. She was completely distracted.

Ye Wangchuan was sitting beside her. Seeing that she seemed to be in deep trouble after the call, she turned around and held her finger, ''What's wrong?"

Qiao Nian's fingers were pinched by him again. Speechless, she realized that he liked to play with her fingers. She took her hand away, held her phone, and flipped through her contacts. She said, ''Nothing. Just now my second uncle called me and told me not to rush over. Not many people are coming. I'm wondering if I should call a few friends over.''

''Not Many People Are Coming?" Ye Wangchuan leaned his head back. His eye-catching face was filled with shock as if he had not expected such a situation.

He and Qiao Nian had the same thoughts. This time, Old Master Jiang clearly wanted to introduce her to the people of Beijing under the pretext of school banquet. How could not many people come? Then, this meal would be meaningless...

He turned his head and looked at the girl's side profile, from which he realized that she was not really bothered. The brim of the cap covered her over exquisite face, only revealing her cold chin. She was playing with her phone with her head lowered. Her aura was especially outstanding.
