2135 Sister Nian’s “Simple Meal”

He picked it up.

Shen Qingfeng’s voice came from the other end of the call. “Xu Yi, have you arrived?”

“We just got here.”

“Is Xue Zhu with you?” Shen Qingfeng did not forget to ask Xue Zhu.

Xu Yi looked at Xue Zhu and nodded. Realizing that Shen Qingfeng could not see him, he said in a low voice, “She’s with me.”

“Where are you?”

Xu Yi looked around and told him the location.

Shen Qingfeng came to look for them not long after.

As soon as Xue Zhu saw Shen Qingfeng, she immediately mentioned to him the people she had seen entering the hotel. She smacked her lips and sighed. “… I wonder what day it is today. So many people came to the Intercontinental Hotel.”

Shen Qingfeng looked at her in surprise and then asked after a moment, “You don’t know?”

Xue Zhu was stunned. “Know what?”

Did she miss something?

Seeing that she really did not know, Shen Qingfeng rubbed his temples and explained, “They all came to attend Qiao Nian’s filiation banquet.”

Xue Zhu was confused.

She was completely stunned by Shen Qingfeng’s words.

Xu Yi was slightly better. He forced herself to calm down and then said, “Qiao Nian told us that it’s just a simple meal. What did you just say… a filiation banquet?”

“Mm.”

Shen Qingfeng had known them for three to four years, and the three of them had always had a good relationship. He did not hide it from them. He briefly explained it to Xu Yi and Xue Zhu, then touched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly, “I reckon she herself did not know that the banquet would be so grand. She even invited my grandma. Grandma…”

There were some family matters that Shen Qingfeng could not say much about. He swallowed what he was about to say. “Let’s go in first. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult for us to greet them when there are more and more people later.”

They were all marginal figures in the research institute, and they could not even touch the edge of the independent continent. Usually, they could not even touch the edge of Ji Ziyin’s circle, let alone come into contact with the banquet that Feng Yu, Ji Lingfeng, and the others attended.

Xue Zhu was completely dumbfounded.

It was as if she was stepping on cotton. She walked as if she was floating as she followed Shen Qingfeng into the hotel.

A few times she wanted to call Qiao Nian and ask. However, she gave up when she touched the edge of her cell phone.

She had known Qiao Nian for a few months and knew a little about her personality.

Qiao Nian had told her and Xu Yi that it was just a simple meal. Perhaps she really did not treat today’s lunch as a big deal.

In the house.

“Miss Qiao, are we setting off?” Gu San packed his things and happened to see Qiao Nian coming downstairs. He quickly put down his work and asked her.

Qiao Nian was still wearing casual clothes and looked very carefree as she came downstairs.

Gu San immediately went out to get the car.

Qin Si was playing games. Seeing that Qiao Nian had come down, he also logged out of the game. He put his phone aside with a smile and greeted the girl, “Sister Qiao, good morning.”

“Good morning.”

Qiao Nian pulled out a chair and sat down. Seeing that Ye Wangchuan was also looking at his cell phone, she turned her head and asked him, “Today…”

“Huh?” The man looked back at her in a dignified and lazy manner.

Qiao Nian swallowed what she was about to say. “Nothing.”

Ye Wangchuan was wearing a windbreaker today with a thin black sweater inside. The collar of the sweater was high. It might look weird if an ordinary person wore such a turtleneck sweater. However, he had the aura of a cold young master.
