nQiao Nian looked at the bank card held out to her. Her facial muscles twitched a little as she looked up. She then declined it calmly.

n“No need. Chen Chen calls me Sister, this is the least I could do.”

n

n

nShe liked this child a lot, and it had nothing to do with money.

nYe Wangchuan walked over to Ye Lan and said in a low voice, “We’re all family.”

nGu San was speechless.

nHe had so many questions in his mind.

n

n

nHis head buzzed as he watched on.

nWhy did he feel like Master Wang said something different?

nWas he thinking too much?

nYe Lan didn’t notice what he said about being “family”. What she had focused on were Qiao Nian’s words.

n

n

nHer eyes widened slightly as she asked in surprise, “You’re that Sister Chen Chen mentioned?”

nQiao Nian was puzzled. What did she mean by “that Sister”?

nYe Lan broke into a smile. She had gone from being civil to being warm and accepting. Seeing that Qiao Nian didn’t get what was going on, she said, “Chen Chen has mentioned you a lot recently. He called me a few days ago to tell me that you took him out shopping and got him many new clothes. I’ve been wanting to meet you.”

nBesides that, Old Master had even shown her a photograph of Wangchuan and a girl taking Chen Chen around a shopping mall.

nThe mall was crowded.

nBut Chen Chen appeared so carefree, just like a little genie having fun. She hadn’t seen Chen Chen smile so happily before.

n

n

nIn the photo, it looked as if they were parents taking their child out to play.

nAs a grandmother, she had tried to make it up to Chen Chen in terms of material goods, but she had been unable to fill the emotional void.

nHence, Chen Chen often threw tantrums and spoke rudely to others back in Beijing.

nIt was only after coming to Rao City that she sensed Chen Chen’s change. He had become less guarded and harsh and a lot warmer than before. He also seemed more cheerful and happier.

nShe had saved Chen Chen before, and now she had treated Chen Chen’s leg. Ye Lan liked her the more she looked at her and couldn’t wait to get Qiao Nian to be her goddaughter.

nShe eagerly grabbed Qiao Nian’s hand and asked, “Miss, how old are you this year? Are you still studying? Where are you studying? Do you intend to have a career in Beijing? I have a few…”

nShe didn’t manage to finish her sentence with “outstanding boys around me” when Ye Wangchuan interrupted her. “Little Aunt, aren’t you going to see Chen Chen?”

n“Didn’t Miss Qiao say that Chen Chen’s surgery was a huge success?” Ye Lan was unhappy that he had cut her off. She rebuked him and then said smilingly to Qiao Nian again, “Right, what’s your name?”

n

n

nThis girl was beautiful and capable, she liked her so much!

nQiao Nian didn’t like this sort of enthusiasm from an elder. But she was Chen Chen’s grandmother, so Qiao Nian bore with it. “Qiao Nian.”

nAy, she’s got a nice voice too!

n“Nian Nian? Nian Nian as in the Chinese saying of longing?” Ye Lan liked it so much and held her arm endearingly. “I’ll call you Nian Nian from now on.”

nThe Ye family was rich and powerful, and Ye Lan was the only daughter of Old Master Ye. She had been a rich girl since the start of time.

nThis was the first time Gu San had seen her so affectionate with anyone.

nBut he looked at Qiao Nian and had to admit that he found it hard not to like Miss Qiao too.

nYe Wangchuan knew Qiao Nian’s character. He was afraid that if this went on, she would be intimidated by the interaction. He walked over and held her wrist gently, pulling her to his back within his “protection range”. He said to Ye Lan helplessly, “Little Aunt, she’s tired, let her rest for a bit. You can go and have a look at Chen Chen first, I’ll take her to settle the discharge papers.”
