Chapter 1019: Master Wang’s Observation
“That means she’s not even 20.” He Wang leaned back and said in a low voice, “Why did Master Wang find such a young person? That sister is quite good-looking, but would his family agree? No matter how I look at it, Jiang Xianrou is still better. Her results are good, her family background is passable, and she’s also beautiful. She’s under Liang Lu, and Liang Lu is an authoritative brain surgeon in the country.”
Tang Ning no longer looked at him like he might be a fool. She looked at him with full certainty that he was indeed a fool. “Didn’t you see the news after you returned?”
Huh?
She was afraid that others would hear her if she spoke too loudly. Even if she wanted to pry open He Wang’s head to see what was inside, she could only endure it and raise her chin at him impatiently. She explained, “Master Wang’s girlfriend is this year’s National College Entrance Examination top scorer. She’s the first College Entrance Examination student in history to get full marks.”
“Damn, how many points?” He Wang suspected that he was hallucinating.
750 points? Was this a f*cking possible score?
Tang Ning rolled her eyes at him and threw away the last two cards in her hand. It was a pair of big and small kings. It won her the whole pot of money. Not looking at He Wang’s expression, she continued casually, “Also, you said that Jiang Xianrou’s teacher is Liang Lu. Do you know who Master Wang’s girlfriend’s teacher is?”
Just Liang Lu alone made him brag like that!
Jiang Xianrou was the same. She clearly did not have the best background in Beijing, but just because she had some ability and talent, she studied in a famous school and found a good teacher. She was so arrogant and always put on a cold attitude, making it seem like everyone wanted to kneel down and lick her feet.
She thought that she could take down Master Wang.
…
This was a slap in the face.
He Wang stopped playing cards. His eyes lit up and his curiosity was piqued. “Who is it? Is he even more awesome than Liang Lu?”
“Master Nie and Mr. Huang.”
Tang Ning recalled what had happened at her house in Rao City and felt like smoking again. She saw a fruit platter on the coffee table and stabbed a cherry tomato with her fork.
The little tomato’s sweet and sour taste spread in her taste buds.
She curled her lips bitterly and looked in the girl’s direction again, suppressing the plicated emotions in her eyes.
Back then, her brother had even had a crush on Qiao Nian. Grandma had privately objected to it, saying that Qiao Nian wasn’t worthy of her brother.
In the end, who was not worthy of whom?

…
Qiao Nian had no idea that Tang Ning and He Wang were talking about her not far away.
Her eyes were lazy as she nestled tiredly in a corner of the sofa and played games with Zhang Yang and the others. Beside her sat a man who was as beautiful as a tree. It was none other than Ye Wangchuan.
There was a mahjong table in front of the man, and the four of them were fully seated. However, the people who were playing cards with him at the table were all nervous and pressed their feet together. It was just a game of cards, but all of them were so nervous that they broke out in cold sweat. They wanted to let her have an easy win, but they were worried that if it was too obvious, they might annoy her.
Ye Wangchuan didn’t mind that they were playing slowly. After all, his mind wasn’t on playing cards. Seeing that Qiao Nian had finished her game and hadn’t taken much of the flower tea in front of her, he waved his hand and asked the waiter to e over.
After a while, the waiter brought in a cold drink.
It wasn’t a drink from Lan Pavilion.
The name of the bubble tea shop on the paper cup was quite glaring. It was obvious that the waiter had gone out to buy it.
“Take it. Iced aloe vera drink. Drink less of it, lest your stomach hurts.”
Qiao Nian took the drink from his hand and shook it. There was ice in it. She took out a straw and inserted it, taking a sip.
