After she returned, the party began.
Wen Ruxia originally wanted to arrange Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan at the main table, together with Old Man Wen and his friends.
Later, Ye Wangchuan took into consideration that Qiao Nian didn't like such lively social occasions, so he arranged her to sit in an inconspicuous corner in the back row.
Ye Wangchuan sat at that table, and Qin Si and Nie Mi naturally chose that side as well.
Originally, the seats at the Wen family banquet were arranged according to status, and the guests sitting around their table were all unimportant.
Just because Ye Wangchuan was sitting there, that side became eye-catching.
"Why is Master Ye sitting there?"
"If I had known, I wouldn't have sat in the front. I would have chosen a seat in the back. Maybe I could have gone up to toast you."
"Why."
When Qiao Nian came over, he heard rustling sounds around him.
She walked over and pulled open the empty seat between Ye Wangchuan and the little guy and sat down, looking up at him: "Why aren't you sitting with Aunt Lan?"
Ye Lan is here too.
As the person who came to dinner on behalf of the Ye family, Ye Lan couldn't just sit anywhere he wanted like Ye Wangchuan.
So Ye Lan sat at the main table and was arranged to sit with the old man of the Wen family. The two were chatting.
Ye Wangchuan poured her a glass of water and pushed it in front of her, saying lazily, "It's quiet here."
"..." Qiao Nian picked up the water cup and glanced at him. She always felt that he chose this position not just because of the quietness.
However, since Ye Wangchuan said so, she herself didn't like going to the front to eat with too many people she didn't know, so she lowered her head, took a sip of water, and stopped talking.
But Nie Mi saw her coming. He hadn't had a chance to talk to her properly all day, so he took advantage of the fact that everyone was around him and asked her, "Niannian, when are you leaving?"
"Three days later."
Qiao Nian bent his long, straight legs and sat in a lazy posture.
Just at this time, the previous congratulations were almost finished.
The birthday boy was standing under the spotlight and thanking the guests who came to dinner.
Qiao Nian lowered his head, a strand of black hair fell from his brow, covering the anxiety in his eyes. He paused and said, "I originally planned to leave early, but I was afraid that once I left Beijing, the hidden family would take the opportunity to make some small moves."
Zhou Zheng is also somehow related to Nie Qixing's death.
Given Nie Qingru's strong personality and her tendency to blame others for her mistakes, she must want to extradite Zhou Zheng back to vent her anger.
Qiao Nian turned the cup with her fingers, her fair skin glowing white under the light. She tried her best to suppress the anger in her eyes and said, "Zhou Zheng almost killed Master Cheng this time. I don't care if he is involved in other things, but he must pay for what he did to Master Cheng."
So she has to wait for the final result to come out.
Because once the final verdict comes out, Zhou Zheng will be imprisoned.
The possibility that Nie Qingru would use crooked means to extradite someone out of the country again is extremely small.
There was another reason why she didn't leave in a hurry—she couldn't be sure that the person who asked Zhong Yilu for medicine was Ji Lingfeng.
She guessed that the probability that person was Ji Lingfeng was more than 50%.
But guesses are just guesses after all. Without real evidence, she couldn't be 100% sure that the person was Ji Lingfeng.
"Also, a few termites have come to Beijing these past two days. I have to keep an eye on what they want to do before I leave." Qiao Nian said in a very general way.
Nie Mi was not aware of the messy situation in the Independent Continent, nor did he know the inside stories of the hidden families, but he just heard her talking about these things with a frown.
