Two Visits in Three Days

Ye Wangchuan glanced lazily over at her again. His lips were curled up, but he didn’t expose her.

Qiao Nian wasn’t picky?

Eh?

Sort of, but not really.

!!

She was quite indifferent when she went out to eat with the others.

She would always eat less if the table was filled with dishes she didn’t like, but she never complained.

But she preferred spicy food when she ordered.

Qiao Nian preferred Sichuan Cuisine, such as Boiled Fish and Spicy Chicken.

Qiao Nian would always order these dishes whenever she ordered.

She never got tired of these dishes.

Just like she liked hot pot. Basically, if you let her choose, nine times out of ten she’d choose hot pot.

The wheels rolled through the night.

Ye Wangchuan drove to a supermarket not far from the apartment to buy fish and vegetables. Then, he drove back to Rhine with Qiao Nian.

He made boiled fish for dinner.

Because he had bought fresh Sichuan peppercorns from the supermarket, Qiao Nian was able to eat a hearty meal of boiled fish. She even ate a little more than usual.

After dinner, Qiao Nian took the initiative to clean up the dishes. After taking a call, she returned to the second floor to take a shower.

The Qi family’s downfall was faster than expected.

Qi Yan came to visit again three days later.

It was still the Jiang family’s house and the original living room. Qi Yan sat on the sofa with a haggard expression, looking much older.

Jiang Zongnan, Tang Wanru, and Jiang Xianrou were all present today.

Jiang Yao was also at home.

With a guest visiting, Jiang Yao also walked out of the study with his father and accompanied him and his mother to receive Qi Yan.

“President Jiang, Mrs. Jiang.”

Qi Yan was obviously haggard this time. Her face was pale, and the greenish-brown color under her eyelids showed that she had not slept well for a long time.

Jiang Xianrou’s heart skipped a beat when she saw her haggard appearance.

Qi Yan wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to how others looked at her. She was already in a pinch. Seeing Jiang Zongnan and Jiang Yao coming down, she said impatiently, “I’ll get straight to the point. President Jiang, what do I have to do for you to help me?”

Jiang Yao had just returned from the illegal district and things were not going well. He didn’t even see Lu Zhi. Thus, he could only return, helpless.

He still didn’t know what was happening at home. He turned to his father and asked, “Dad, what happened? What favor?”

Jiang Zongnan didn’t know how to tell him about what happened to Jiang Li for a moment.

He shook his head and temporarily suppressed his urge to explain to him. He had to deal with Qi Yan first.

Jiang Zongnan was also very direct. “Countess, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help you, but I can’t help you. Jiang Li is my son. He’s still lying in the hospital bed. How can I help you?”

Qi Yan took a deep breath. She couldn’t care less. First, she laid out her conditions. She took out a piece of paper from her handbag and pushed it in front of the four of them, then said concisely, “This is the transfer of 10% of Hengfeng Corporation’s shares. I’m willing to transfer these shares to your son. In addition, doesn’t Xianrou want to take the spot to the independent continent? I’ll step in and help her get it. I only need President Jiang to help me tell Qiao Nian to be magnanimous and let the Qi family off. How about that?”

She pushed the share transfer agreement to Jiang Zongnan. Her attitude was humble and sincere.

It was as if she was not the same person who had threatened Jiang Zongnan three days ago to get a lawyer to ask how many years Qiao Nian would be sentenced to for kidnapping.
