152: Face Slapping

Face Slapping

"There are three of us - how do we play when we are missing a player?" One of them said. 0

"Plus, we heard Niannian got accepted into UCC. We are all excited for you, how could we play after that? See, I even prepared money. When's the celebration for your kid?"

Qin Yongmei replied, "Aye, there's no need to bring money! You're acting like we aren't close! A great thing happened so I will for sure host a dinner. I'll be happy if you can show up to that!"

Everyone smiled and joked, but nobody knew what they were all really thinking or feeling.

After all, they all had kids. There was no way they weren't jealous.

Qiao Ziwen got out of his car and slammed it shut, "Where's the Dean?"

Qin Yongmei, "He's at home! Niannian, mom and dad have gone over."

Hearing the chaotic conversations outside, Mu Jinghang exchanged glances with Jun Yexuan, who sat across from him at the dining table.

"Is Dean Cui really that blind? They admitted Qiao Nian? Even if Qingqing doesn't get it, it shouldn't be her. Could it be that her dad bribed them?"

Jun Yexuan pursed his lips and shook his head, "Dean Cui is a righteous man and has always advocated everyone to follow policies and rules. He would never take bribes and cheat the system."

"Then what's the problem? Something doesn't feel right." Then, his eyes rolled around. Looking at the distracted He Wanqing, he said, "Auntie, eat, quickly, there's going to be a good show to watch after."

He Wanqing looked up, stunned, "What?"

Mu Jinghang raised an eyebrow, "You'll find out soon."

At the same time, Qiao Nian and the two elders arrived at the east house.

Qiao Zhizhuo looked at the man sitting on the couch and he extended his arms with a smile.

"You must be the Dean of UCC. What a pleasure! I'm Niannian's grandfather. I appreciate you seeing potential in my granddaughter. For you to visit us personally is an honor to the Qiao family!"

Cui Yan stood up and shook his hand, "Please! It's because your granddaughter has great qualities. That's why I picked her."

Qiao Nian heard this and felt a wave of joy. She could no longer stop herself from smiling.

Qiao Zhizhuo laughed, "You flatter us."

Cui Yan looked behind Qiao Zhizhuo and said curiously, "Where's she?"

"What? Oh, you mean Niannian." Qiao Zhizhuo stepped to the side and pushed Qiao Nian before Cui Yan, "She's here."

He then looked over to Qiao Nian and said lovingly, "Niannian, why don't you go say hi to the Dean? Go thank him."

When Cui Yan caught sight of Qiao Nian, his face dropped.

Before she could speak, he interrupted, "What's your name?"

Qiao Nian was a little startled but still responded in the most respectable manner she could manage, "To answer your question, Dean, my name Qiao Nian."

Qiao Zhizhuo was also puzzled by this, "What is it, Dean? Is there a problem? DIdn't you pick Niannian? Don't you know her name?"

The secretary, Jing He shuddered in cold sweat.

Cui Yan's face tightened and he glared at Jing He. Then, he looked over to Qiao Zhizhuo, "I apologize. I believe there's been a mistake. I need to go back and confirm something."

Then, he picked himself up and walked towards the door.

Qiao Nian, Meng Chunhua and Qiao Zhizhuo were all dumbfounded at once.

When they finally reacted, they hurried and chased after Cui Yan. 

Qiao Zhizhuo walked after him using all the strength he had. As he walked, he asked, "Dean, please tell us what's going on. What's the mistake? Weren't you going to admit Niannian into the school?"

Cui Yan's footsteps never stopped, "I'm sorry, no."

Qiao Zhizhuo and Qiao Nian's heart both felt extremely cold.

Qiao Nian couldn't really accept this, "Then, why did you come here? Who's the person you wanted to accept into the university?"
