1455 You Won’t Get Me Into Trouble, Will You?

In the reception hall on the first floor.

Tang Wanru was talking to Qi Yan. Only when Qi Lanyin returned did she find an opportunity to stand up elegantly and smile at Qi Yan. “I’m going to the washroom.”

“Alright, go ahead.” Qi Yan placed her bag on her lap and smiled politely.

Tang Wanru left in a hurry.

Qi Yan immediately stopped smiling. She frowned and looked at Qi Lanyin and asked coldly, “Why did you take so long? What happened outside? I think there’s something wrong with the Jiang family’s reaction.”

“You know them, Aunt. But I don’t know them. It’s no fun for me to come in, so I walked around outside for a while and got some fresh air.”

Qi Lanyin sat down beside her and continued calmly, “As for what happened outside, I’m not sure. I saw a large group of people outside when I came back. It was noisy, as if they were all relatives of the Jiang family. I didn’t go over to join in the fun.”

Qi Yan observed her. Seeing that her expression was calm and did not seem to have caused trouble for her, she heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you didn’t cause trouble.”

Qi Lanyin was indignant and frustrated. “Aunt, what can I do?”

Qi Yan found a mirror and lipstick in her bag. After touching up her makeup, she put the lipstick and mirror back and looked at her sharply. She said, “I know you’re not satisfied that I gave the spot to Jiang Xianrou but not to you.”

Qi Lanyin’s back stiffened and her expression turned ugly when she heard that.

“You got that spot through your relationship with the Pharmacy Association. You can give that spot to whoever you want. I don’t blame you for this…”

Although she said that she did not blame Qi Yan, her hands on her lap were clenched into fists.

What kind of person was Qi Yan? She had long cultivated a pair of sharp eyes. At a glance, she could tell that Qi Lanyin was hiding her unwillingness to fight.

She sighed imperceptibly and patted Qi Lanyin’s shoulder. It was not appropriate to say too much to her. “I know you’re feeling uncomfortable. You’ve always been talented in medicine. I’ve discussed it with your father before, and I also wanted to give the Pharmacy Association’s spot to you. It’s just that there was an accident in the middle. You know that our family almost didn’t survive that period…”

Qi Lanyin lowered her head. “I know, Aunt. I don’t blame you or my father. It’s just that I wasn’t as good as her and lost to Qiao Nian in the medical competition. Otherwise, I could have entered the Pharmacy Association with my own abilities.”

“It’s good that you’ve thought it through.” Qi Yan’s eyes were filled with relief. She patted Qi Lanyin’s back and comforted her in a low voice, “Jiang Xianrou is inferior to you in every aspect, but we can only give her the spot in the Pharmacy Association. Her background is not as simple as you think. There are still many things you don’t know concerning this matter. I’ll tell you when I have the chance.

“Just remember not to mess with her. Try to get along with her. It’ll do you good.”

Qi Yan narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully, “This Jiang Xianrou will have a great future!”

Qi Lanyin looked up at her aunt and frowned. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t understand why her aunt valued this small Jiang family so much.

The Jiang family was inconspicuous in Beijing.

Not to mention that Jiang Xianrou had been expelled from the family by Old Master Jiang not long ago. She was only short of having a bad reputation in the upper circles of Beijing…
