Ten minutes later, Independent Continent.
Qiao Nian received a spam text message from an unfamiliar number.
She lowered her eyelashes and glanced at the screen, her fair fingertips slid across the text message and directly deleted it, not even bothering to glance at the other person.
…
the next day.
Hua Ci said hello to the medical team, stayed alone, saw his companions off at the hotel, and called Ye Lan.
This time she opened the video.
The suite she stayed in had a projector.
Her phone was connected to Bluetooth, and Ye Lan's face was projected onto the screen. Judging from the background, it should be inside the company.
"Hua Ci, what's wrong?"
Ye Lan hadn't put down the documents yet. He took the time to glance at her, as if wondering, "Aren't you coming back today? Why are you still in the hotel?"
"Aunt Ye." Hua Ci was a little embarrassed to speak: "I sent a message to Qiao Nian to ask her out for dinner to apologize, but she hasn't replied to me yet. So I..."
So she didn't leave with her colleagues, but changed her flight ticket for two days and planned to stay here for two more days.
Ye Lan heard her hidden meaning and put down the folder: "You want to treat Nian Nian to dinner? Why?"
"…After that, I ran into her again and had a little conflict with her. She said something to me, and I went back and thought about it and felt that I said something wrong."
Hua Ci hesitated and didn't want to explain it clearly to Ye Lan. He took a deep breath and looked at her expectantly: "Aunt Ye, can you help me ask her out?"
Ye Lan hasn't answered yet.
She quickly emphasized: "I really want to apologize to her."
Ye Lan was silent for two seconds, and stared at her with a pair of sharp and capable eyes: "I promised your mother that I would take care of you."
Hua Ci breathed a sigh of relief: "I know Aunt Ye, you have been taking good care of me over the years. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now. I am very grateful to you."
"That was not what I meant."
Hua Ci looked at her in confusion: "Aunt Ye, what are you talking about?"
Ye Lan didn't want to say anything too harsh: "I promised your mother that I would take care of you, but that was limited to taking care of you. Your mother and I are good friends, but you and I are not that close. In other words, even if your mother were still alive, she would not be more important than my family. I told you before that Nian Nian is my family and will marry Wang Chuan in the future. You still went to provoke her... I can't understand your behavior."
"Aunt Ye." Hua Ci was somewhat embarrassed.
Ye Lan paused, "You don't have to explain so much to me. I know her personality well. She's not the type to argue with you easily. Since you said she had a conflict with you, it means that what you said at that time was definitely not excessive. You must have stepped on her bottom line for her to pay attention to you."
Hua Ci didn't expect that Ye Lan didn't even ask how they had the conflict or what they had said, but just came up and scolded her, and her words showed that she was extremely disappointed in her.
She was not only embarrassed, but also a little panicked: "Aunt Ye..."
Seeing her fair face turning red and white, Ye Lan didn't embarrass her too much for the sake of her deceased friend and said, "Wangchuan has gone back."
“You said…” Hua Ci’s eyes lit up and he curled up his fingers subconsciously.
Ye Lan saw her excitement and said coldly, "He is in the Independent Continent. I can't call Nian Nian, or he will be angry if he finds out. You are an adult, you should solve the problems you caused yourself, and take the responsibility if you can't solve them. I have a meeting here, so I won't talk to you anymore."
