Going to Settle Scores with Jiang Xianrou

Jiang Li could almost see the ruthlessness in the girl’s eyes through the phone. He knew that Jiang Xianrou had angered her again.

He immediately cowered and said vaguely, “Nian Nian, don’t care what she says. I’m not calling you because she said so. Don’t provoke the Qi family because of me. They are not to be trifled with. That Qi Yan is unyielding. You’ll suffer if you provoke her. Also, is Qi Lanyin with you? Ask your friend to let her go. What if she goes through the legal procedures…”

Qiao Nian smiled, her eyes relaxed and casual. “What if she goes through legal procedures?”

“What if she goes through the legal process and you…” Jiang Li didn’t know what to say.

Qiao Nian spoke up for him. “Jiang Xianrou also told you that Qi Yan was prepared to go through legal procedures with me? Did she tell you how many years they were prepared to sentence me to? 10 years? 20 years? Or were they planning to imprison me for life…”

“She didn’t say that.”

Jiang Li shook his head and realized that he was being stupid again. He was on the phone and Qiao Nian wasn’t in the hospital, so how could she see his expression and actions? He added impatiently, “She just said that the Qi family is preparing to go through the legal procedures with you. I’m worried that you’ll suffer.”

Qiao Nian roughly understood what Jiang Xianrou had said to him. She replied lazily, “Brother, don’t worry about it. I’ll handle this matter.”

“Nian Nian, you…” Jiang Li was still worried about her.

However, Qiao Nian interrupted him rather valiantly. “I’ve never taken the Qi family seriously! If they want to go through the legal procedures, I welcome them at any time. I just don’t know if I’ll be the one going in for 10 or 20 years or if it’ll be one of them.”

Jiang Li couldn’t win against her at all, and his aura couldn’t suppress her.

Qiao Nian comforted him again, promising that she wouldn’t be rash. If anything happened in the future, she would tell him in advance.

Jiang Li hung up reluctantly.

Qiao Nian waited patiently for him to hang up before putting down her phone. She lowered her delicate eyebrows and stared at her phone for a moment.

She opened her laptop and her fingers started flying over the keyboard…

Ten minutes later.

Qiao Nian sent an audio file to her phone, then got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

She grabbed her things as soon as she’d changed, slung them over her shoulder, and headed downstairs.

Downstairs.

Gu San was talking to the young man on the sofa. The man was holding a newspaper and seemed to be reading it leisurely.

Seeing the girl come down from the corner of his eye, Ye Wangchuan put down the newspaper and looked up with a gentle gaze. “You’re up?”

“Yeah,” Qiao Nian replied as she walked down the stairs. “I’m going out for a while.”

Ye Wangchuan raised his eyebrows and stood up to pick up his car keys. He walked to her side and asked quite naturally, “Where are you going? I’ll drive you.”

Qiao Nian wanted to say, “No need.”

Seeing that he already had the car keys in his hand, she moved her mouth but couldn’t refuse. She could only say, “The Jiang family.”

Gu San subconsciously looked at her with a surprised expression when he heard the words “Jiang family”, as if he was confused. He didn’t know why Qiao Nian was going there at this time.

Ye Wangchuan didn’t even look up or ask the girl for a reason. He just walked in front and said, “Let’s go.”

Feeling a little irritated, Qiao Nian touched the bridge of her nose and followed the man.

Jiang Residence.

Jiang Zongnan had just sent Qi Yan off before going back inside.

The atmosphere in the house was heavy. Everyone seemed to have something on their minds and no one spoke.

Jiang Zongnan didn’t know what to say. He instructed the servant to make him a cup of tea. “Aunt Wang, make me a cup of bitter tea.”
