"Besides." Ji Hongyuan had lived for many years, but this was the first time he felt so humiliated. His eyelids were twitching. If he hadn't seen that Qiao Nian was the direct descendant of the Ji family who was stranded outside, he would have been furious today. Even so, he couldn't suppress the anger rising in his chest: "Ji Xiao and Ji Ziyin should not know the news that the direct descendant of the Ji family has been found, right?"
He Lin was confused: "Ms. Ji probably doesn't know."
Ji Hongyuan picked up the teacup but didn't drink it. Instead, he ordered him coldly, "Go spread the news, but don't let them know who they found."
Ji Ziyan is a smart person.
Anyone who knew this news, even if she was not sure that Qiao Nian was the one, would spare no effort to suppress Qiao Nian in the research institute.
This is exactly what Ji Hongyuan was thinking.
He wanted to see the girl suffer a loss and wear down her spirit, so that she would return to the family and serve the family!
"…and find two people to follow her, half protecting and half monitoring her whereabouts, to see what the Nan family wants to do with her."
He Lin looked up at the direction the girl left again, with a complicated expression, nodded, indicating that he understood, and went to do it quickly.
…
Outside the InterContinental Hotel.
As soon as Qiao Nian walked out of the hotel, he took out his cell phone and called Wei Lou: "Please take care of the Jiang family for me. If there is any disturbance recently, call me."
"OK." Wei Lou was far away in Beijing.
There is a time difference of more than ten hours between Beijing and Independent Island. He had just gotten up and was awakened by Qiao Nian's phone call. He just opened the curtains to let the morning light outside shine into the room.
While walking towards the circular sofa in the room, he turned on the coffee machine on the coffee table and poured himself a cup of black coffee.
As he picked up the cup and took a sip of hot coffee, he asked the girl, "Who did you offend again? Why are you suddenly worried about this?"
"Just... a self-righteous person." Qiao Nian lowered his eyelids, suppressed the rebelliousness in his eyes, and took a deep breath: "During the time when I'm away, please help me keep an eye on my grandfather and the others. If any strangers approach them, remember to tell me."
"Yes, I know. You've told me twice!"
Wei Lou smiled, but still kept his tone serious and said to her seriously: "Don't worry, I will take good care of your uncle and the others for you."
"By the way, when will you be back? And where have you been?"
Qiao Nian left in a hurry this time and did not tell him and Yuan Yongqin. So far, the two of them don't know where Qiao Nian went.
"Independent State."
Wei Lou was drinking water, but when he heard these three words, he spat out all the coffee in his mouth. His throat was dry, and he coughed, "Where?"
"I have some things to do in the Independent Continent, so I won't be back for the time being. I'll tell you when I'm done. Just take care of my family for me." Qiao Nian was brief and didn't go into too much detail. She just said, "I'll leave this matter to you. I'll treat you to a meal when I get back."
"Okay." Wei Lou didn't ask any questions. He told her a few places to eat and hung up the phone.
After he hung up the phone, he went downstairs to the living room, looked through his phone, found some contacts of the Wei family, and called them. He changed his nonchalant and unreliable image when he called Qiao Nian, and said in a capable and calm voice: "Help me keep an eye on the Jiang family, and protect the people of the Jiang family during this period!"
He arranged everything, sat down on the sofa, and looked through the girl's WeChat profile picture. He couldn't come back to his senses for a long time...
