2156 I Have a Friend Coming Over Later. Do You Want to Come With Me?

Outside the hospital.

Qiao Nian had just walked out when she received a WeChat message from Ji Nan.

You all right?

Qiao Nian slowed down slightly. Her eyes narrowed and her lips curled up slightly as she typed a message back.

The handsome young man was leaning against an SUV and playing with his phone with his head lowered. Qin Si and Gu San were chatting beside him.

Sensing something, the young man suddenly raised his head and looked straight at her.

Qiao Nian clicked her tongue and strode over.

“Sister Qiao, you’re back.” Qin Si noticed Qiao Nian and asked, “How’s it going inside?”

Qiao Nian opened the door casually and said frivolously, “She’s not sick.”

“She’s not sick?” Qin Si immediately understood. He observed her and saw that Qiao Nian did not have a depressed expression. Relaxing, he patted the girl’s shoulder and said righteously, “They just have poor eyesight. Don’t argue with a blind person.”

“By the way, where’s Auntie Xie? Didn’t she come out with you?” Qin Si looked back and asked when he didn’t see anyone with Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian placed a hand on the door. Hearing this, she did not say anything. “This has nothing to do with them. It’s normal for people to be afraid that I’ll take advantage of them.”

What she meant was that Xie Tingyun did not know. It was normal for the old lady to be afraid that she would take advantage of the family. She did not care.

Qin Si cursed, “Normal my ass!”

Qiao Nian turned around and glanced at him.

Qin Si was furious and did not hide his disdain. “The Xie family is one of the three big families in the independent continent, after all. They’re not as elegant as the families in Beijing. They can just say it if they’re afraid that you’ll take advantage of them. There’s no need to pretend to be sick. Just based on this behavior, they’re petty. It’s better if we don’t get involved with them, lest they cause another farce.”

Ye Wangchuan opened the door for Qiao Nian and let her sit in the front passenger seat, saying casually, “The Xie family didn’t rely on their strength to stabilize their position among the three big families, to begin with. They are rich and relied on marriage to stabilize their status in the independent continent.”

“Auntie Xie didn’t come out with you?” Ye Wangchuan explained the distribution of forces in the independent continent to Qin Si and Gu San. Then, he lowered his head and asked Qiao Nian gently.

“Yes,” Qiao Nian replied. She didn’t think much of it. “Those people are her family. I can understand.”

Xie Tingyun did not expect things to turn out like this. Otherwise, she would not have sincerely convinced Qiao Nian to hold the banquet back then.

What had happened had already happened.

Qiao Nian did not like to dwell too much on the past.

Thinking of something, she raised her eyebrows and asked, “By the way, are you here in the independent continent to look for Tian Chen’s people?”

Qin Si vaguely mentioned it before. It seemed that he had come to the independent continent this time to look for Lu Zhi through Ye Wangchuan.

The Qin family seemed to want to work with Tian Chen.

However, it should be a commercial cooperation.

As expected, Qin Si said in a daze, “I want to cooperate with Tian Chen on a project. Master Wang is still arranging it for me.

“But Tian Chen haven’t replied. I wonder if they’re interested.”

Qiao Nian nodded. “I have a friend coming over later. Do you want to come with me?”
