At the event, Qin Yongmei and He Wanqing were welcoming the two elders to their seats.

Qiao Nian wore a long white slit styled gown. Under the companionship of Xu Yingying, she walked over.

Seeing that Qiao Nian had arrived, everyone began to chitchat.

“Is that the younger miss of the Qiao family? She sure has grown into a beautiful looking woman!” Someone complimented.

“I heard that not only is she pretty, she also gets really great grades. She’s excellent with instruments, reads a lot, and even paints. She’s a truly talented woman!” Someone else chimed in.

“But the older granddaughter of the Qiao family… it’s a little difficult to describe her in a short sentence!” Someone whispered.

“…”

Jiang Yi stared at Qiao Nian’s delicate visage. For some reason, a cold and expressionless face entered his brain.

Thinking that Qiao Qing probably still doesn’t know what he looked like, he suddenly felt a wave of inappeasable anger.

Now that he had randomly gotten beaten up last time, he didn’t dare to behave irrationally again.

Jiang Huai lowered his head and gave his son a look, “How are you and Niannian doing these days? Just when can you lock her down as my daughter-in-law?”

Jiang Yi pursed his lips and didn’t say anything else.

Qiao Nian listened to everyone’s praises and compliments, feeling pleased. Her face however, remained exalted.

She walked up to Qiao Zhizhuo and Meng Chunhua and bowed down, “Grandpa, grandma.”

Qiao Zhizhuo smiled and nodded. He then looked up and glanced over the crowd, “Why didn’t the older one come?”

“She should be here soon.” He Wanqing felt a little awkward, “Maybe something held her up on the way. I will go get her.”

“Sister-in-law, Qingqing is already of age. There’s no way she cannot find her own way in her own home,” Qin Yongmei said, “Plus, it’s father’s birthday. What’s more important than this?”

After Qin Yongmei spoke, Qiao Zhizhuo couldn’t help but frown.

Deep inside, He Wanqing felt like a disaster and was just about to ask Mu Jinghang to go get Qiao Qing when someone shouted.

“She’s here, she’s here!”

“Huh? Why’s she dressed like this?”

The crowd cleared out a lane as Qiao Qing walked over cooly and stylishly with her hands in her pockets, “Grandpa.”

Everyone’s gaze couldn’t help but land on Qiao Qing. They were all bedazzled by her beauty.

The girl before everyone had her hair up in a ponytail, looking clean and full of vitality.

Her bare face that had no trace of makeup appeared aloof and serene – she was so beautiful it was as if she didn’t belong to this human world.

Every single inch of her skin that was exposed reflected off light and shone.

Though she wore an outfit that could not be any simpler, she seemed noble and dignified.

This made everyone remember that true royalty never counted on dressing expensive to look noble. Their magnificent and grand aura came from their bones. No matter how others may try to mimic, they cannot exude this sense of nobility.

Qiao Nian, whom a moment ago, looked pretty good, appeared very average when compared against Qiao Qing.

Not only did Qiao Nian lose in terms of her temperament, her face that was full of high-end makeup, was only a sliver of the beauty Qiao Qing’s bare face had.

Those who complimented Qiao Nian all shut up upon Qiao Qing’s entrance.

Qin Yongmei didn’t need to see everyone’s reaction to realize her daughter had lost.

She couldn’t help but curse under her breath. Then, she gave Qiao Zhizhuo a look and said to Qiao Qing, “Qingqing, look at you! It’s your grandpa’s birthday. It’s such an important day, how can you dress so casually?”

“Don’t you think this is disrespectful? It makes it seem like you don’t value your grandpa’s birthday and it looks as though the Qiao family treats you badly. Aren’t your tarnishing your grandpa’s reputation?”

As expected, after Qin Yongmei’s words, Qiao Zhizhuo’s face darkened even more.

He Wanqing tightened her fists. Just as she pondered over how she should solve this, she heard a male voice from amongst the crowd…
