Just after walking a short distance, Zhan Nanjing saw Chi Yuhang leading Qiao Jing and her group through the door.
Inside the banquet hall, Chi Yuhang also noticed Zhan Nanjing.
He excused himself to Qiao Jing, then separated from them and walked towards Zhan Nanjing.
When Chi Yuhang approached, Zhan Nanjing curiously asked, "I heard soone was causing trouble at the door, what exactly happened? Has it been resolved now?"
"Actually, it’s nothing major. It’s just that those people who ca in with couldn’t produce an invitation and were stopped by the waitstaff at the door."
"According to them, they did receive an invitation from the Zhan Family, but it was stolen when they got out of the car."
"I didn’t think they seed like they were lying, so I brought them in."
Chi Yuhang briefly explained the situation, then suddenly asked, "Nanjing, do you think I’m too naive and too easily trusting?"
Zhan Nanjing listened, raised her hand to gently flick his forehead with her finger and said with a smile, "Aren’t you always like this? If not for this kind of personality, you wouldn’t have been bullied so often before."
"However, they should be fine, you can trust them."
Hearing this from Zhan Nanjing, it was Chi Yuhang’s turn to be curious.
He asked sowhat skeptically, "Why do you say they’re fine?"
Zhan Nanjing explained, "The one holding the child’s hand just now, she’s the apprentice that Master Zhou has his eyes on. I saw her at the Wonderful Hall before, and there’s no doubt about her character."
Upon hearing this, Chi Yuhang was stunned for a mont. He hadn’t expected that the girl who resembled Professor Qiao in deanor had such high achievents in dical skills.
Outstanding people always have so similarities, don’t they?
Returning to his senses, Chi Yuhang asked curiously again, "Has she beco an apprentice yet?"
"No." Zhan Nanjing shook her head and then told Chi Yuhang what happened at the ti.
"She proposed a treatnt plan and so insights of her own, which amazed Master Zhou, who offered to take her as a disciple. But she said she didn’t intend to beco an apprentice, so it was put on hold."
"So that’s how it is..."
Chi Yuhang nodded in understanding, feeling a newfound admiration for this person.
Couldn’t believe soone would refuse Master Zhou!
This shows that she’s not soone seeking fa and fortune!
The banquet hall was full of guests, everyone toasting and drinking, glasses clinking.
For a mont, the scene was bustling, laughter and talk filled the air.
However, Qiao Jing felt sowhat uncomfortable with the noisy atmosphere.
Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin, on the other hand, were in their elent, pulling Zhan Qiaoyu into a lively chat about the venue’s layout and grandeur.
Qiao Jing greeted them and then walked alone towards a corner, intending to find a quiet place to calm down.
As she passed through the crowd and by the long table with drinks, she noticed a familiar silhouette.
Upon closer inspection, she recognized the person as Young Master Xu, Xu Moqian.
At this mont, Xu Moqian was being reprimanded by Xu Hongzu.
Xu Hongzu frowned at his grandson, his tone one of exasperation, "Look at you, back in the day you couldn’t compete with that Zhan Qipei kid, and now you’re this old, even Zhan Qipei’s sister is engaged, and you’re still single without a girlfriend!"
Xu Moqian shrugged and said sowhat wistfully, "I can’t help it, Sister Jing has had too great an impact on , loving Sister Jing at first sight has ruined for life, I don’t think I will ever like another woman."
Upon hearing this, Xu Hongzu beca even more furious.
If that’s the case, how is he supposed to have great-grandchildren?!
He snorted and said irritably, "Can’t you learn from your grandpa’s open-minded spirit? If I were like you back then, wouldn’t I have missed your grandma, and then where would your dad and you co from!"
"How could that be the sa?"
Xu Moqian didn’t even think about it before blurting out, "How could my grandma compare to Sister Jing? Sister Jing is excellent in every way, she’s my life’s benchmark!"
"In my eyes, no woman can compare to Sister Jing!"
"Alright, you, I agree on praising Xiao Jing, but how dare you belittle your grandma?! Looks like you’re itching for a beating!"
Xu Hongzu, angry, raised his cane to hit his impudent grandson.
Xu Moqian quickly jumped left and right to dodge.
This slightly comical scene made Qiao Jing pause and watch for a while.
She always felt that this humorous interaction between grandfather and grandson seed familiar sohow.
But with her lost mory, she couldn’t recall when she had seen it before.
After a few more glances, Qiao Jing stepped away.
When she turned around, Xu Hongzu accidentally caught sight of her back.
This sight made Xu Hongzu abruptly stop hitting his grandson and stare intently at that silhouette, muttering, "Hey, this girl’s figure looks a lot like Xiao Jing’s..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Moqian followed his grandfather’s gaze, and after a few glances, he recognized the person.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "It’s not just the figure that’s alike, even the na is very similar."
Xu Hongzu withdrew his gaze and looked at him skeptically, "How do you know?"
Xu Moqian answered truthfully, "I happened to et her a few days ago; she’s the Third Miss of the Qiao Family in Nandu, nad Qiao Jing, but not the ’Jing’ of Sister Jing, hers is the ’Jing’ of scenery."
Xu Hongzu was silent for a mont after hearing that.
A mont later, he raised his cane again, "Alright, are you done talking? Don’t change the subject; continue to face my cane!"
With that, Xu Hongzu chased after Xu Moqian again to hit him.
anwhile, Qiao Jing had arrived at a relatively quiet place.
But she hadn’t been there long before she was bothered by a pesky and nauseating fly.
Jiang Zihong noticed her, imdiately followed over and began to pester her.
This scene was witnessed by Zhan Nanjing and Zhan Qipei who happened to be passing by.
Zhan Nanjing uttered an "oh", paused in her steps, and said, "Isn’t that the Third Miss of the Qiao Family!"
Zhan Qipei looked away expressionlessly, his thin lips slightly parted, coldly replying, "What does it have to do with ?"
With that, he wouldn’t spare another glance and moved to leave.
Seeing this, Zhan Nanjing tily spoke up, "It may have nothing to do with you, but, there’s a thing—her na is quite similar to sister-in-law, also Qiao Jing, with the ’Jing’ of scenery."
Previously at the Wonderful Hall, she felt that this Third Miss Qiao had a deanor very much like her sister-in-law, so she inquired about her identity.
That’s how she learned this was the Third Miss of the Qiao Family—Qiao Jing.
Upon hearing Zhan Nanjing ntion this na, Zhan Qipei stopped his steps and looked back in the direction from earlier.
Seeing his reaction, Zhan Nanjing displayed a look of ’just as expected’.
She knew that when it ca to any topic related to her sister-in-law, her brother would definitely react this way!
