Chapter 1175: Chapter 1171: Much Ado About Nothing
The old man also knows that once this identity is revealed, there’s no turning back.
"Okay."
The grandfather and grandson exchanged some private words and hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Qiao Xiaren took a deep breath and then opened the family group chat. Just as they were flooding the chat, Qiao Xiaren suddenly popped in with: "I might announce my identity."
Shangguan Ye: ???
Gu Ming: ???
Gu Changjia: ...
Lu Qian: Ranmei, you aren’t really going to announce a pregnancy before marriage, are you?
"..."
Qiao Xiaren: Lu Qian, why can’t I find any connection between these two things?
Pei Ningxuan: Hahahahaha, don’t mind that fool Lu Qian. Congrats to our Ranmei for finally going public with her identity, slap those status snobs in the face, quickly!
If this identity gets revealed, the young ladies flaunting their aristocratic ties will be scared witless! No, this will blow up!
Shangguan Ye: Ranran, can you at least prepare your fans mentally? I really pity them, having to endure shock after shock!
After the announcement, isn’t marriage next?
Well, there’s another round of shock.
Actually, Qiao Xiaren’s mind is a bit scattered right now, she just feels it’s best to let things take their course.
Never mind the fans, even Qiao Xiaren is a bit confused now.
Qiao Xiaren: This identity probably can’t be kept a secret; I’ll deal with it when the time comes.
At this moment, the rarely-seen Qiao Yi’an actually spoke up: Ranran, you better brace yourself, grandpa’s about to make a move, he’s ready to drop a bombshell.
Seeing her brother say this, Qiao Xiaren suddenly felt a bit anxious.
Make... a... move?
After logging off WeChat, Qiao Xiaren put her phone back in her bag. She already sensed an upcoming turbulent period, the key is this will definitely be sudden, she’s already anticipating the overwhelming waves it will stir.
What must come, will come.
Qiao Xiaren calmed her slightly agitated mood, just in time to see Yunduo running out while still brushing her teeth, mouth full of foam: "Xiaren, Xiaren, come quick and see, big news!"
"What news is so startling? Finish brushing your teeth first." Annie, who has OCD, can’t stand seeing things half-done, and seeing Yunduo’s mouth full of foam was driving her crazy.
"I’m just too excited!" Yunduo shook her phone, continuing to say unclearly, "My friend just called me, the top socialite of the Capital was exposed!"
Hearing the words ’top socialite,’ Qiao Xiaren’s heart skipped a beat reflexively, she pretended to be calm and glanced at her: "What top socialite?"
"Of course, it’s the top socialite of the Four Great Families!"
Yunduo really hated why she was brushing her teeth at this time... no, seeing the news at this time!
She dashed into the bathroom to spit out the foam, brushed her teeth in a simple and crude manner, then ran back out: "Xiaren, as someone from S Country living in the Capital, surely you know the Four Great Families?"
"Not particularly."
Seeing her excitement, Qiao Xiaren averted her gaze.
"You clearly don’t care about national affairs!" Yunduo looked at her with disappointment but patiently explained, "The Four Great Families are prestigious families from the Warring States period, they control the entire economic lifeline of the Capital."
"To say something that might get my door knocked by the authorities, the Four Great Families are deeply tied with the country, they’re not just surface-level wealthy clans, but true nobility! Haven’t you seen the news? The heads of the Four Great Families, who interact with foreign economic systems, are about to attend the annual international economic exchange meeting again."
