Therefore, regardless of w.a.n.g Yang’s ident.i.ty and character, as long as Chen Jun had yet to ascertain whether he would be of any value to him, he would not miss out on the chance to build a network with him.

Today, Chen Jun had been silent from beginning to end, and he did not even cast a glance at w.a.n.g Yang.

Based on this alone, Qiao Nan was certain that something was not right with Chen Jun. He was not his usual self.

This proved that there was something going on between Chen Jun and w.a.n.g Yang.

Qiao Nan tried to probe by asking if they knew each other, and both Chen Jun and w.a.n.g Yang jumped in to deny.

Their unison replies showed that there was something going on.

From what Qiao Nan knew of Chen Jun from the previous life, Chen Jun would definitely give an excuse and said that perhaps he had seen w.a.n.g Yang at a certain place and that it was such a coincidence to run into each other again.

Qiao Nan had mentioned several times that w.a.n.g Yang had a very close relations.h.i.+p with the Zhu family and that w.a.n.g Yang had such an influential figure like Zhu Chengqi as his uncle, and he used to be very good to w.a.n.g Yang.

If it was the Chen Jun whom Qiao Nan knew, he would have tried to strike up a conversation with w.a.n.g Yang. He would not fawn on him or flatter him, but he would make w.a.n.g Yang feel as if he was highly valued and of importance.

Even though w.a.n.g Yang would not warm up to Chen Jun right away and address him as his brother, at the very least, he would not give him the cold shoulder and treat him with indifference. They never had any eye contact when they were at her house.

Chen Jun was not that type of person, and w.a.n.g Yang was not either.

Chen Jun knew that w.a.n.g Yang’s uncle held an influential position, yet he did not bother to chat with him. Qiao Nan was even more certain that there was something going on between the two of them.

Why would they hide the fact that they know each other and pretend to be strangers in front of her?

Qiao Nan thought of a very terrible scenario.

w.a.n.g Yang and Chen Jun might be cunning and scheming, but they did not know that Qiao Nan had been through rebirth.

“Nan Nan, what’s wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to lie down and rest? Nan Nan, it’s not that I want to lecture you. After all, Dad is a man. He doesn’t know how to take care of you. Look at you. You have only left our house for half a year, but you have grown thinner. Mom knows how to take care of you more than Dad. After all, you are still young. If there’s anything wrong with you, it will be inconvenient for Dad to take care of you. Even if you want to throw a tantrum, half a year should be enough. Shouldn’t you persuade Dad to bring you back home?” Qiao Zijin was elated after she was certain that Chen Jun came from established family background.

By the time she came to her senses, she noticed that Qiao Nan looked very pale and pitiful.

“No need.” Qiao Nan sighed in anger. “In the past six months, at least n.o.body has yelled at me, and n.o.body will call me wretched girl for every single day and order me around. n.o.body will despise me and put me down. Qiao Zijin, do you think that I have no respect for myself and will stoop so low as to be willing to go back to lead that kind of life? Do you think that the more I am humiliated, the better it is for me?”

Qiao Zijin was embarra.s.sed. “Nan Nan, why did you put it that way? Mom… No matter what, it was for your own good. It was so that you would toughen up. If Mom knows about this, she will be heartbroken.” What was wrong with Qiao Nan? Why was she in such a bad mood today?

“Since Mom likes you so much, why did she not train you for your own good?” Qiao Nan placed her hands on her legs and supported herself to stand up.

It could be due to the fact that she had her menses or that she was agitated by w.a.n.g Yang and Chen Jun. The moment Qiao Nan stood up, she felt dizzy as if the world was spinning around her. “Don’t spout nonsense in front of me. I won’t be fooled. If you want Dad to go back, you can tell him yourself.”
