Chapter 25
Su Yan was quite different from the other rich young heirs in An City. He was obsessed with the field of medicine and had a straightforward nature. Many medical professors praised him for his talent and intelligence, saying that would definitely achieve great things within the field of medicine in the future.
Gu Zhou stared coldly at the man in front of him for a while, then recalled that this man was indeed Su Yan. He gave an impassive grunt, then seemed to have thought of something, asking in a hoarse voice, “What time does the banquet start?”
Su Yan was momentarily stunned when he heard Qiao Xin’s words. He followed her gaze and saw Qiao Nian wearing a white evening gown, casually eating some refreshments. He felt a wave of disgust, and averted his gaze in displeasure.
Butler Zhao, who was carrying a platter of fruits, saw that Qiao Nian was about to leave the house. She looked at Qiao Nian in surprise and asked, “Second Young Madam, it’s already so late. Where are you going?”
On the surface, this banquet was just a networking event for the big shots in the medical field, but in fact, it was for Dr. Wang to select a few young doctors to participate in his cancer research project.
Even though Su Yan didn’t care about his family’s affairs, his parents had always told him to be polite to Gu Zhou even when Su Yan was a child. That man wasn’t someone the Su family could afford to offend.
Su Yan had thought that Qiao Nian would have a clearer mind after recuperating in the hospital for five years. He didn’t expect her to continue pestering him, almost akin to a ghost haunting its murderer.
“Nian Nian, S University is holding a banquet tonight. Doctor Wang from the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine will be attending too. Aren’t you interested in this field? You could speak to him.”
Five years ago, Su Yan was discussing medicine with Qiao Nian. He felt that Qiao Nian wasn’t too bad a person. Later on, he heard from other people that there was something wrong with her character.
Not only did Qiao Nian announce to everyone that she was his girlfriend, but she also bullied her weaker classmates. Because of this incident, the value of Su Yan’s scholarship was deducted.
Su Yan’s eyebrows knit tightly together, his frown growing deeper. He didn’t think that being missed by a lunatic was anything to be proud of. He turned away and replied lowly, “Go ahead!”
Su Yan was one of the most handsome gentlemen in An City. He had a good family background, a good education, and good looks. For countless girls, Su Yan represented the ideal boyfriend.
Qiao Xin held Su Yan’s arm affectionately. She could tell that he was a little nervous, and spoke comfortingly. “Brother Yan, don’t worry. You will definitely be chosen by Dr. Wang!”
Qiao Xin and Su Yan were casually having a bite in the banquet hall when her gaze landed on her sister not far away. She whispered, “Brother Yan, I see my sister. I’ll go greet her!”
Back then, Qiao Xin had seen how close Qiao Nian was with Su Yan. She had always liked to steal what Qiao Nian had, so she confessed to Su Yan in public and made him her boyfriend.
Qiao Xin naturally sensed Su Yan’s change in attitude and she hurriedly consoled him. “Brother Yan, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to tell Sister that you will be attending tonight.”
