Chapter 895: An Online Friend

“Nian Nian, let me introduce him to you. This is Mister Ji Nan. He’s here to attend your banquet.”

He smiled slightly again and properly introduced Ji Nan to Qiao Nian. There was a faint sense of pride in the depths of his eyes. He then spoke to the young man. “Mister Ji, this is my granddaughter, Qiao Nian. She was studying in Rao City and has just arrived today.”

Jiang Zongnan was secretly sweating by the side.

He knew that the purpose of today’s banquet was to introduce Qiao Nian to this circle and to tell other people in Beijing that there was one more person in their Jiang family.

It was just that Ji Nan could only be here on the Ye family’s account. He might not even put the Jiang family in his eyes.

Since the Jiang family might not even be in Ji Nan’s eyes, what if the Old Master abruptly introduced the two of them to each other and Ji Nan didn’t care about Qiao Nian? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for her?

Worried, he asked himself if he should interrupt.

Unexpectedly, the young man glanced at Qiao Nian and smiled slightly. He spoke slowly and with a soothing tone. “I know who she is. We’re acquainted.”

Old Master Jiang was speechless.

Jiang Zongnan couldn’t speak.

Did he not come because of the Ye family?

Was he here because of Qiao Nian?

Jiang Zongnan reacted relatively quickly and subconsciously looked in the girl’s direction.

The girl pulled the brim of her cap down and did not speak.

It could be seen as her silently agreeing.

Was Ji Nan really here for Nian Nian?

He was in a daze and took a long time to recover.

Qiao Nian felt their gazes on her and explained dryly, “He’s an online friend. I invited him.”

He was an online friend?

Online?

If Jiang Zongnan didn’t know the identity of the man in front of him, he would have felt that the friend she met online was a normal person.

Young people were fashionable, and it was normal to make friends online.

However, Qiao Nian managed to make friends with a person at the top of the circles in Beijing online. He was unable to accept this fact for a long time.

“Haha.” Ji Nan smiled heartily. He wasn’t angry at Qiao Nian for labeling him as just an ‘online friend’. He smiled and agreed. “That’s true. S and I have been online friends for a long time. I only knew about this banquet when she called me. I then came uninvited. Please forgive me, Old Master Jiang.”

He paused for a while. He appeared lighthearted, and his outstanding features couldn’t be ignored. He said, “I didn’t prepare a proper gift as I came in a hurry. I’ll have to make it up to you next time.”

Old Man Jiang couldn’t speak for a long time, not knowing how to react. He originally meant to introduce Qiao Nian to Ji Nan, but he never thought that it would be the other way around. Now, he felt like his granddaughter was introducing Ji Nan to him.

This situation was so sudden that he did really not know how to react.

Fortunately, Ji Nan didn’t insist on an answer. He turned his head and said to the girl in a familiar tone, “I’m in a hurry, so I won’t stay.”

The relationship between him and Qiao Nian could be classified as online friends since they generally only contacted each other online.

However, they weren’t simply online friends.

Ordinary ‘online friends’ were not qualified enough for him to visit them personally.

However, this ‘online friend’ was Qiao Nian, Ji Nan felt that he should give her the proper respect.

However, he did have an urgent matter at hand, so he couldn’t stay for the banquet.

“I have been waiting for you for a long time. I just wanted to come here to give you a gift and congratulate you. I will make it up to you next time.”
