"If you want to protect the people around you and the things that are important to you, you must learn to be independent and strong like Nian Nian."
"No one can protect you forever. You are a brother and a man. You need to stand up and protect her. Instead of letting her stand out and become a knife to clear the way for you every time!"
Xie Yun had never said these words to Ji Nan.
She said a lot today, and she didn't know how much her son could hear.
Xie Yun didn't force him to grow up overnight. She lifted the curly hair by her ear to break the heavy atmosphere in the apartment.
"I remember Mingshui Mansion is your Aunt Xiaoxiao's house. I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll go find her for afternoon tea and ask about her progress."
Before Xie Yun left, she paused for a moment and turned to look at Ji Nan on the sofa without looking back: "Over at the Ji family..."
Ji Nan covered his eyes with his hands, his eyes showing through his fingers were cold and firm: "I'll ask my second uncle to come over."
Xie Yun curled the corners of her mouth, feeling relieved that he had grown up, but at the same time she sighed that he was forced to grow up. She shook her head and went in her high heels to make an appointment with the actual owner of Mingshui Mansion.
In addition, after she left, she called Xie Tingyun and asked about the rumors she heard from outside about the First Research Institute severing its relationship with Qiao Nian.
See if there is anything you can do to help.

Qiao Nian didn't know yet that after she left, Xie Yun took the opportunity to teach Ji Nan a lesson and asked him to take responsibility as soon as possible.
Just as she left Ji Nan's apartment and before she got into the car, she received a call from Zhou Zhou.
In fact, since she came to see Ji Nan in the morning, the cell phone in her pocket has never stopped buzzing.
It's just that she didn't take it out to look at it in the apartment.
At this moment, Zhou Zhou called her repeatedly, so she had no choice but to get in the car, close the door, and pick up the phone with her slender white fingers: "Go ahead."
When she answered the phone, there was silence on the other end.
Qiao Nian opened the car window to get some fresh air.
The driver in front just happened to ask her where she was going.
Qiao Nian gave an address and the driver turned around and drove to the place she said.
The October wind blowing on her face was incredibly damp and cold. Fortunately, Ye Wangchuan forced her to change into a thicker sweater before she went out. However, the sweater was useless and it was windy. When it blew against her face, the cold wind still penetrated into her bones.
"Why don't you speak?"
"If you don't say anything, I'll hang up."
As she spoke, she rested her arm on the edge of the car window. She had no intention of hanging herself at all. She was just bluffing.
But some people just want to be fooled.
Sure enough, Zhou Zhou, who had been silent the whole time, immediately said in a muffled voice: "Don't hang up. I talked to the dean, but for some reason he refused to give in this time, and refused to tell me why he sent that email. Sun, tell me honestly, did you agree with him privately? What you are going to do is very dangerous, and you asked the dean to send that email because you were afraid of implicating the First Research Institute?"
Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows. She had to admit that women's sixth sense was not to be underestimated. Her guess was 100% accurate, but she didn't admit it: "No."
Zhou Zhou wasn't sure whether she had lied to him or not, but Qiao Nian never lied.
Since Qiao Nian said it was not the case, it would be stupid for her to continue to act like Qiong Yao and force others to admit it.
She took a deep breath, and seemed to have figured it out. She said to the girl on the other end of the phone, "Don't worry. I've discussed it with the vice president. If the president doesn't give in this time, we'll keep looking for him next time until he gives in. During this time, just stay home and wait for our news."
