Was this the "birthday gift" he said he didn't prepare?!

What Master Wang meant was that they didn't prepare gifts, so his gift was particularly prominent!

Jiang Li regretted being careless at the start!

He had known a long time ago that Master Wang was planning something for Nian Nian. He felt that Master Wang wouldn't give up such a good opportunity to strike!

Unfortunately, he could only regret his actions. It was impossible for him to tell Qiao Nian about everything Ye Wangchuan did. It was not because he didn't want to say it, but he just didn't have the guts to… He didn't dare to offend Master Wang.

He could only watch as Qiao Nian opened the brocade box. Inside was an ordinary-looking stone placed in blue silk.

He saw Qiao Nian pick up the stone and examine it for a while before raising her head and asking, "Is this… a meteorite?"

Jiang Li was speechless.

He thought it was just a broken stone.

Ye Wangchuan raised his lips. He knew that she would recognize it instantly. He said softly, "Didn't you say that you wanted a star in the sky? Stars can't be taken down, but I can give you a star that has fallen down. What do you think? Do you like it?"

Qiao Nian didn't think he would actually take her words so seriously and give her a present that was related to the stars. There was an unspeakable feeling in her heart, and she felt as if she owed him.

"Yes, I like it."

In fact, she said it so casually, but in reality, no girl would dislike a "star" as a gift.

Qiao Nian looked down, touched the meteorite, and pondered for some time. Aunt Yuan told her that she had bought a rare rough peacock blue diamond in South Africa. It would look good if it was made into men's cufflinks…

As she was playing with the meteorite, her phone suddenly rang.

Qiao Nian glanced at it.

Oh, a foreign number.

A number from Rao City.

Few people knew her mobile phone number, and she had a software that specifically blocked spam messages, so the possibility of her receiving any spam messages was very low.

She leaned back on her chair, picked up her phone, and looked down.

157XXXX.

A long text message.

[Nian Nian, I'm sorry that what happened today made you sad. I apologize on behalf of your mother and your grandma, and I should apologize to you too. I've considered your sister's situation. She shouldn't have stolen and submitted your work to win an award. It was unfair to you. As for that kid… Can you help me talk to Young Master Ye and help me apologize to him? Help me apologize to the kid. If they want any compensation, we're willing to cooperate.]

After reading the long message, Qiao Nian already knew who sent it.

Qiao Weimin.

Previously, she had blacklisted all of the Qiao Family members. It seemed that they used a new phone number to send her a message.

Her eyebrows drooped, and her eyes filled with unbridled wildness. Compared to Qiao Weimin's lengthy message, she only replied briefly.

[QN: Has Qiao Chen decided on her leg or Ren Yi?]

Her message was like sinking all of his hopes into the ocean. She didn't care much and put her phone back on the table.

If Qiao Weimin still wanted to play the emotional card, he didn't really need to try.

She had no emotional ties to the Qiao Family for them to exploit anymore.

Everyone was an adult. Since they wanted to tear her apart, there was no need to put on a show. Even if they tried to put on a front, it was already obvious that their relationship was ruined.

The Qiao Family and her were on different paths, and she was no longer willing to tolerate them anymore.
