Chapter 44: Socializing with you, Sis, is just wild!

Inside the police station.

Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan were separated into two individual interrogation rooms to give their statements.

Qiao Weimin rushed over, barely even parking his car properly. His square face was flushed with anger. As soon as he entered the station, he immediately grabbed a local officer. "Hello, officer."

"Can I help you?" The officer he grabbed sized him up with an arrogant attitude.

What kind of attitude was this!

Ever since his company successfully went public a few years ago, Qiao Weimin had become a prominent figure in the city. He had never endured such disrespect before. Ultimately, it was all because Qiao Nian was so useless. He forced a smile, swallowing his pride, and said, "I'd like to ask you something."

"Did you bring in a girl for fighting in a group? Her name is Qiao Nian."

"Qiao Nian? I believe we did bring someone in like that..."

"Where is she?"

As he was speaking, his peripheral vision caught a group of people walking down the corridor.

The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen. She was exceptionally beautiful, with a slender waist, long legs, and fair skin. That aura of rebelliousness made her stand out instantly in the crowd!

The veins in Qiao Weimin's temples throbbed violently. He strode forward and called out loudly to the person walking with the police.

"Qiao Nian!"

Qiao Nian had just finished her statement and was preparing to pack her things and leave.

Suddenly hearing Qiao Weimin's voice, she turned around to find him marching up to her in a rage. Without a word of greeting, he launched into a barrage of scolding.

"Were you fighting with people again? Can you not stay out of trouble for even one day? Every day, besides working, I'm constantly cleaning up your messes!"

Qiao Nian's eyes were pitch black, a flash of hostility flickering in her gaze. Suppressing her emotions, she asked him, "Who told you?"

Qiao Weimin was in the middle of a temper tantrum, his face turning a mottled pale and blue. If they weren't in public, he likely wouldn't have spared her any dignity at all. "Is there any point in asking when you already know?"

"Who else could it be but Auntie Chen?! Auntie Chen called me, begging me to come bail you out."

So it was Auntie Chen. Qiao Nian pursed her lips.

His expression was grim, and he wouldn't even look her in the eye. He pressed on impatiently, "Why were you fighting? Where is the person you hit? Why haven't I seen them?"

A coldness drifted from the corners of Qiao Nian's eyes as she replied nonchalantly, "It was just a fight. Was I supposed to consult an almanac to pick an auspicious day?"

Look at the way she spoke!

Unable to suppress the fire rising in his throat, he forced himself not to explode. "Your grades are terrible all day long. It's bad enough you don't work hard—I don't even expect you to get into a university in Beijing like Chenchen. But at the very least, don't cause trouble for me by getting into group fights in public!"

Qiao Nian looked at him, a mocking smile on her face. Her eyes were extremely dark, filled with defiance and wildness, but devoid of any sense of obedience. "Didn't Qiao Chen get recommended to the Arts Academy because you used your connections and hosted dinners?"

There was still a whole year left until the college entrance exams; how could Qiao Chen have applied for university yet? It was nothing more than using connections to go through the back door and squeeze out someone else's opportunity.

"You..." Qiao Weimin was nearly choked by anger. This was a police station, and there were people around; how could she say such things so bluntly!

He snapped back, "That's because Chenchen's grades are usually good. Do you think anyone can be recommended? If I used my connections for you, would you even be recommended?"

With Qiao Nian's grades, she could only manage average scores at the most ordinary schools in the city; at No. 1 High School, she was destined to be at the bottom of the class.

She might not even make it into university in the future, and she still wouldn't learn her lesson!

She was truly beyond saving!

Fearing that Qiao Nian would continue to argue with him—especially since Qiao Chen's recommendation slot was indeed obtained through questionable means—Qiao Weimin suppressed his rage and tried to build rapport with the nearby officer. "Hello, officer. I am Qiao Nian's..."

At the thought of the trouble Qiao Nian had caused, his expression soured, and he didn't even want to admit his relationship to her. "...I am her father."
