Qin Si felt like he was stabbed in the heart and couldn't laugh anymore.
Ye Lan looked him up and down, sighed, reached out and patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "…Unrequited love! Don't be too sad."
"..." Qin Si was stabbed in the heart again, causing internal injuries.

Qiao Nian booked a meal in a private room at Shanhai Pavilion.
While drinking and chatting.
Old Master Ye ate a lot. He was in a good mood today and made an exception to drink a few sips of wine. He looked radiant.
Qiao Nian sat on his left and ate with him. After the meal, he actually picked up his chopsticks and ate something.
Old Master Ye told Ye Wangchuan about the Ye family's industry in the Independent Continent. He did not avoid Qiao Nian, Qin Si and others and chatted with them for a few minutes.
Ye Wangchuan also replied to him with a few words, and the two sides stopped talking briefly.
Old Master Ye turned his head and his eyes fell on the girl who had not spoken much the whole night, who had been quietly listening to their conversation while eating with her head down.
He hesitated for a moment and put down his chopsticks: "Nian Nian, do you... do you want to enter the First Research Institute?"
Ye Lan was also chatting with Qin Si, asking him what the name of the girl he liked was, where she lived, and what her parents did for a living...
Hearing the old man asking Qiao Nian about the First Research Institute, she stopped talking and couldn't help but look in the direction of the girl.
Qin Si was in a state of panic when he was suddenly rescued.
Everyone in the box was paying attention to Mr. Ye and Qiao Nian.
Grandpa Ye ignored their gazes and only focused on the girl. His face was kind and he spoke gently, "If you want to enter the First Research Institute, I will help you find a way. It's just... it may take some time. Nian Nian, tell Grandpa Ye, do you want to go in?"
Mr. Ye has a very strong network of contacts, and naturally there is more than just Liao Quan.
It's just that he doesn't want to contact some people.
For him, it would be better for the Ye family if these connections could be left alone. But Ye Maoshan felt sorry for Qiao Nian, so he decided that as long as Qiao Nian wanted to enter the First Research Institute, he would go and beg those old friends even if he had to sacrifice his reputation.
Qiao Nian probably didn't react yet. Before he put down his chopsticks, he looked at Grandpa Ye in surprise.
But Mr. Ye thought she was embarrassed to talk to him, and was about to say something to her again.
Ye Wangchuan interrupted him: "Grandpa, you eat first."
Ye Maoshan frowned slightly, very unhappy: "I'm talking to Nian Nian, don't interrupt me. You don't know..."
Ye Wangchuan directly picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in his bowl, his eyebrows and eyes were like paintings: "Eat first."
Qiao Nian reacted now, coughed awkwardly, put down his chopsticks, reached out and touched the tip of his nose, still thinking about how to explain to Mr. Ye.
Old Master Ye looked left and right, always feeling that he had missed some important details. Seeing that Ye Wangchuan didn't let him continue, he was silent for a moment, slowly picked up his chopsticks again, lowered his head and started eating.
Qin Si and Gu San looked at each other.
Both of them showed complicated expressions.
… It seems that Mr. Ye still doesn’t know that Sister Qiao has entered the First Research Institute and is the future successor chosen by Feng Yu.
This is a big misunderstanding.
*
Mr. Ye and his family had planned to stay at the InterContinental Hotel and had booked two penthouse suites in advance.
After Ye Wangchuan found out, he called Mo Xi.
Mo Xi came over quickly and arranged a private residence for Mr. Ye and Ye Lan not far from the villa where Qiao Nian and the others lived.
