2272 Twins
But why should Qiao Weiyang give in to Qiao Jierou? Because she was shameless?
“Old Master Qiao is over there. We think it wouldn’t be convenient for him to come over,” he explained.
In that case, Qiao Weiyang didn’t say anything else. She hadn’t seen Grandpa in a long time, so she nodded and said, “If Grandpa is there too, I’ll go over.”
The reporters quickly packed their things and said, “Fortunately, it’s not far away. Let’s go, Miss Qiao.”
Qiao Weiyang followed the reporters, and Tao Huan followed behind her with her things.
It was indeed not far. It was in the hall next door.
Qiao Weiyang looked up at the banner hanging above, and Tao Huan read it out loud. “Congratulations, Miss Qiao Jierou, for obtaining second place in the International Fashion Design Competition in S Country’s preliminaries. This… doesn’t seem to be something to be proud of.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. You’ll be scolded if the reporters hear you.”
Tao Huan thought of the crazy fans and could not help but stick out her tongue.
Qiao Weiyang walked in.
Most of the guests in the hall were old acquaintances of the Qiao family, so they naturally recognized Qiao Weiyang.
Seeing her dressed up, they couldn’t help but greet her. “Weiyang.”
“Is Weiyang also here to celebrate with Jierou?”
“Jierou is too awesome. Weiyang can learn from her too.”
Qiao Weiyang replied calmly, “I’m here to see Grandpa.”
“Weiyang, you’re here?” The smile on Old Master Qiao’s face was especially bright. “Come over!”
“Grandpa!” Seeing Old Master Qiao, Qiao Weiyang revealed a sincere smile. She lifted her skirt and quickly walked toward Old Master Qiao. She squatted beside him without caring about her image. “Grandpa, how have you been recently?”
“I’m doing just fine.” Old Master Qiao reached out and stroked her hair. “Even if you refuse to come and see me, I’ll still miss you a lot.”
“I’m here to see you now.” Qiao Weiyang’s tone was a little coquettish in front of Old Master Qiao.
Old Madam Qiao said indifferently, “Alright, how old are you? Don’t be impudent in front of so many people! Don’t let others gossip!”
Old Master Qiao said, “It’s none of your business. She’s my granddaughter. What can outsiders gossip about? Whoever dares to say anything, tell them to face me!”
It was because he had not been in good health in the past few years that he did not manage the family business much. He let Old Madam Qiao manage it.
However, the dignity he had cultivated over the years and his unwavering style in Qiao Group still made him sharp.
When he said that, Old Madam Qiao stopped talking.
Qiao Jierou, who was watching from the side, felt upset. She had always been willing to be humble in front of her grandfather and say all kinds of nice things, but her grandfather had always doted on Qiao Weiyang.
The entire family, be it shares or businesses, was in Old Master Qiao’s hands. His words were still very decisive.
However, he just didn’t like her very much.
She didn’t know what method Qiao Weiyang used to please him.
“Weiyang, get up.” Old Master Qiao smiled and said, “Sit beside me.”
“Okay, Grandpa.” Qiao Weiyang sat beside her grandfather and chatted with him softly, her words very intimate.
Old Madam Qiao couldn’t stand such a scene and said, “Aren’t the reporters going to interview Jierou? Let them come over and interview her here.”
Immediately, the reporters gathered around.
Seeing that there was something to watch, the guests gathered around.
Qiao Jierou stood in the middle and smiled at everyone.
The reporters began to ask, “Miss Qiao, I heard that you entered the finals with a good result of second place in the preliminary round, right?”
“Yes.”
“How many years have you been studying design?”
“I don’t think it’s possible to calculate this accurately. Everyone knows that our Qiao family is in this industry. I’ve been influenced since I was young and have been interested in this since a long time ago. Later, I officially studied it, but even after I entered the entertainment industry, I didn’t give up on it. That’s because I don’t think people should forget their roots.”
Her words made Old Madam Qiao nod repeatedly.
“Miss Qiao, you’re really amazing. Then how did you balance your busy work in the entertainment industry with your design work?”
Qiao Jierou smiled and said, “As long as it’s something you like doing, you’ll find a way.”
“Miss Qiao, you’re right.”
“Yes, it does make sense.”
“Miss Qiao, you’re really worth learning from!”
Everyone started discussing in unison.
“Everyone, thank you for your flattery.” Old Madam Qiao smiled and said, “But Jierou has indeed been very hard-working since she was young. She loves to learn. No matter what she does, she’ll put in 100% effort and sincerity.”
“It’s all thanks to Old Madam’s good education,” someone said with a smile.
“No, no. It’s all thanks to her own contribution and ability.” Old Madam Qiao was very humble.
Suddenly, someone said, “I heard that Weiyang also participated in the preliminaries. How are her results?”
Finally, someone asked this question. There was no need for Qiao Jierou to think of a way to guide the reporters into asking this question.
She quickly said, “We’re doing my interview right now. Sister will do a special interview later. Why don’t you ask this question when you interview her later?”
She said it very tactfully, but she was already hinting to everyone that Qiao Weiyang’s results were not good.
Jiang Lin said from the side, “Since you two are here today, why don’t we let Weiyang answer this question directly? Everyone is concerned about Weiyang, right? It doesn’t seem to be a difficult question to answer either.”
The reporters were very interested in this question and wanted to get first-hand information. When they heard Jiang Lin’s words, they also said, “Miss Qiao Weiyang, is it convenient for you to answer our question? I believe your fans also want to know about this. Can you help everyone solve their doubts?”
Qiao Weiyang hesitated for a moment.
Old Madam Qiao said, “You’re already a big star. Why are you still being so wishy-washy? It’s just a question. Why can’t you answer it?”
Old Master Qiao glanced at Qiao Weiyang and said, “Child, do you want to answer?”
He looked protective. As long as Qiao Weiyang said something, he could immediately stop these reporters.
Old Madam Qiao said calmly, “So many reporters came all the way here. Anyway, it’s up to you.”
She looked like she couldn’t be bothered. Her expression seemed to say, ‘I did my best.’
Qiao Weiyang responded to Old Master Qiao’s comforting gaze and stood up. She walked toward the center and stood in front of the reporters.
“Everyone, what questions do you want to ask me? If there’s anything you want to know about me, please ask me directly.” Qiao Weiyang’s tone was steady and clear. “Come on.”
