Qiao Nian had just put down the key. Upon hearing this, she glanced at him and walked inside. She looked quite nonchalant and said in a casual tone, "Of course it's not that simple. This should just be her 'greeting gift' to me. It can't be called a lesson."
Nie Qingru's attitude that day clearly showed that she wanted to "teach her a lesson" and let her know her place...
She had long expected that she would be expelled from the Privy Council, so this little incident was definitely not a lesson for Nie Qingru. It could only be said to be... a warning to her.
"I have the same idea as you." Ye Wangchuan followed closely, cautiously saying, "She should be more than that."
Qiao Nian was more open-minded: "Wait and see what she wants to do."
She walked to the sofa, found a comfortable position and sat down. She took out her cell phone and said without raising her head, "I'll call Jiang Li and ask when he'll be back."
She had not planned to return to Beijing in the short term, but Mr. Jiang and Mr. Ye were almost out of their medicines, so she wanted to go to Country M to see Yuan Yongqin. She happened to borrow some land from the Pharmacy Association on the way to make some small pills and bring them back to share with the two of them.
Then she went back to the First Research Institute and did the experiment with Xu Yi on the rest of the USB drive to determine whether the contents left in Ji Qing's USB drive were what she thought...
Basically, after doing all this, she can find out the person behind the scenes without wrongly accusing a good person or missing a bad person.

In the M Continent Hotel.
Jiang Li had just finished a call, which lasted for more than half an hour. His mouth was dry and he hadn't yet taken out a bottle of water from the small refrigerator in the suite.
His cell phone rang again.
Jiang Li frowned, thinking it was the same thing again, so he put down the bottle of water, walked over quickly, picked up the phone, and looked down to find that it was Qiao Nian calling.
If it had happened before, Jiang Li would definitely not be able to express how happy he was, but this time his eyebrows were twitching wildly and he seemed very nervous as he continued speaking.
"Hey, Nian Nian, why are you calling me at this time?"
"Are you filming?"
Jiang Li has been extremely busy these past few days and has no mood to film. Today, he asked the director for half a day off to stay in the hotel to deal with the situation.
When Qiao Nian asked him, he was afraid that Qiao Nian knew something, so he immediately denied it nervously: "No, no."
"I just wonder how you found the time to call me." He realized that he answered too quickly and tried to smooth things over.
Qiao Nian was such a smart person that she immediately noticed Jiang Li's abnormality, but she didn't ask, she just said: "I'm going back to Beijing, when are you going back?"
Back to Beijing...
Jiang Li's heart was pounding wildly, and he subconsciously asked back: "Why did you want to go back when you were fine? Didn't you say you didn't have time to go back recently?"
This wasn't his usual reaction...
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes slightly, but still didn't ask him: "I just happened to be going to see Aunt Yuan, so I went back by the way. Why, you don't plan to go back for the time being?"
"No." Jiang Li said immediately: "I will go back the day after tomorrow."
Qiao Nian said 'hmm': "Then let's go together."
Jiang Li felt even more nervous when he heard her say that she wanted to go with him, but it was difficult to refuse, so he had to agree: "Okay, I'll call you when the time comes."
He waited for Qiao Nian to hang up the phone, then anxiously dug out his agent's contact information from his address book and called.
"What did the family say? Are they still unwilling to reconcile?"
"They insisted that Professor Jiang molested their son and refused to accept any compensation. They also said that no matter how poor they were, they would never sell their son."
