The Ji Family Is Not Done!

After the meal, he picked up a lot of food for Qiao Nian. He didn’t eat much and even accompanied Nan Tianyi to drink two glasses of baijiu—the strong distilled spirit unavoidable at Chinese social functions.

Upon seeing that his earlobes were slightly red, Qiao Nian put down her chopsticks and took away his wine glass. She then asked the waiter to serve a cup of sobering tea.

Next, she said to Nan Tianyi, “Uncle Nan, drink less.”

“I know.” Nan Tianyi couldn’t help but laugh when he saw her interference. His thick eyebrows and tiger eyes were a little amused.

He wanted to tease the girl again, but his wife slapped his thigh under the table and rebuked him, “Why are you drinking again? I remember you saying you’ve quit drinking.”

“Nian Nian got first place. Aren’t I happy?”

Xie Tingyun was a little speechless. “Then, why are you forcing Little Ye to drink?”

Nan Tianyi was not afraid of anything but his wife. He immediately told Ye Wangchuan that he did not want to drink anymore and quickly apologized to her. “I’m not drinking anymore.”

Xie Tingyun glanced at him again before feeling satisfied.

At this moment, Qiao Nian stood up, picked up her phone, and said to them, “I’m going to the washroom.”

Qin Si was deep in conversation with Ji Nan when he noticed her. He straightforwardly asked, “Sister Qiao, do you want me to accompany you?” He immediately covered his mouth as soon as he finished speaking. “Ahem, pretend I didn’t say anything. Be careful.”

Ye Wangchuan was more at ease. He only reminded the girl softly, “Send me a WeChat message.”

Qiao Nian was only going to the washroom. She did not expect them to have such a big reaction. She was a little taken aback. However, she pulled out a chair and replied casually.

Then, she greeted Xie Tingyun and left.

Outside the private room.

Qiao Nian didn’t go far.

She went to the washroom and came out after washing her hands.

She was on her way back when someone stopped her.

Qiao Nian subconsciously frowned and stopped upon hearing this voice. action

He Lin quickly followed and stood in front of her. After interacting with her a few times before, he understood the girl’s personality better now. Not wasting his breath, he said concisely, “Young Miss, the Sixth Elder is waiting for you in the private room.”

“I’m not seeing him.” As expected, the girl had no intention of meeting him.

She was about to walk around him when He Lin stopped her and said anxiously, “Young Miss, you should see the Sixth Elder. We’ve been following you for a day.”

Qiao Nian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. Her eyes were extremely dark, as if a ferocious beast was about to pounce. “You followed me?”

He Lin was suddenly frightened by her. However, he had been by Ji Lingfeng’s side for many years, after all. He had not lived this long for nothing.

After a moment of daze, he quickly calmed down, but his heart was still trembling a little. Not daring to look at Qiao Nian, He Lin lowered his head and quickly said, “Young Miss, don’t misunderstand. We just want to talk to you about something. We don’t mean to threaten you.”

Ha, he wasn’t threatening her?

However, he pointed out that they had been following her.

Wasn’t this a threat?

What was it, then?

A warning?

Warning her to meet him?

The corners of Qiao Nian’s mouth curled up into a fierce smile. An evil aura quickly spread around her, and her eyes grew cold and dry…

If not for the fact that Nan Tianyi, Xie Tingyun, and the others were still in a private room not far away, she might have asked He Lin on the spot.

However, she did not plan to return to the Ji family and did not want to alarm them.

Qiao Nian took a deep breath to suppress her frustration. Then, she looked up coldly and asked, “Where is he?”
