Chapter 3843: Sister Nian Has Still Affected Her Mood

Mo Xi didn’t mind being neglected. He smiled so widely that his eyes became slits as he pulled the other party towards the sofa while brainwashing him.

“Look, we’re family now. You’ve been in the Red Alliance for so long, you should know something about Miss Qiao’s past.

“Brother, let’s chat. I’ll help our boss get some information.”

**

In the study.

Qiao Nian didn’t know that Mo Xi and Ji Lin were inquiring about her past from her subordinate.

She entered the study and saw Ye Wangchuan on a call with his back facing the door.

Qiao Nian leaned against the wall and waited for him to finish his call.

Meanwhile, she vaguely heard the words ‘Beijing’ and ‘return’. It was probably someone from Beijing urging him to return.

Ye Wangchuan quickly ended the call and put away his cell phone.

Turning around, he saw the girl leaning against the wall. A fleeting light flashed in his dark eyes as he walked over and stood in front of her. His lips curled into a smile. “When did you return? I didn’t even notice…”

Qiao Nian was used to being in close contact with him and did not feel that they were too close. She raised her chin slightly, and her gaze landed on the spot he was just at.

“Oh, just now. I didn’t want to bother since you were on a call.”

Ye Wangchuan saw stars in her eyes, and his eyebrows relaxed. He did not miss the hint of fatigue hidden between her eyebrows. He pushed away the black hair covering her eyes.

“It didn’t go well?”

His voice was pleasant to the ears.

This low voice became even more seductive, as if biting someone’s ear. The small feather fan tugged at Qiao Nian’s heartstrings.

A numbing, electric current ran through Qiao Nian’s ears. She straightened her legs slightly and changed her standing posture uncomfortably, trying to suppress the abnormality as she walked in.

“She didn’t mean to talk to me. She just asked me to let them go.”

After taking two steps and distancing herself from the man, she turned around and stared at him with dark, wild, and tyrannical eyes.

It was quite mocking.

“The reason I was given was actually–she’s my grandmother. I should listen to her.”

There was no smile in Qiao Nian’s eyes.

In fact, ever since meeting Nie Qingru, that feeling of frustration clung to her.

However, Qiao Nian was used to digesting her emotions alone and did not show it in front of Jian Jin and Guan Yan.

Mo Xi and Ji Lin also couldn’t tell.

She would only subconsciously relax in front of Ye Wangchuan. Those uncontrollable and violent emotions showed themselves now.

Qiao Nian leaned back slightly against the desk with her hands on the edge. Her eyes were so dark that they appeared to be an abyss. “Sometimes, I wonder if everyone is like this. The Qiao Family is this way, and so is she.”

They were used to relying on kinship to manipulate others. Regardless of right or wrong, they would always stand on the moral high ground and use their status as elders to threaten others.

If one didn’t do as they wished, they would often accuse them of being unfilial and cold-blooded.

It was as if they were the only ones wronged from beginning to end.

As long as the younger party talked back, they would always be wrong and should be nailed to the pillar of moral shame.

But why?

Nie Qingru had done one thing after another… which one of them looked like something an elder would do?

Nie Qingru didn’t even try to hide her disgust and contempt.

Just like that, she scolded her loudly, using her grandmother status to suppress her.

Qiao Nian suppressed her rebelliousness and quickly returned to normal. “I didn’t agree to her request.”
