She asked Guan Yan as a matter of course: "Please go up and call her for me, and tell her that I have given her the list and when I can leave."
Guan Yan heard them talking about a list before he went in. Now that he understood the whole story, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Let's go?"
"She's not going to let me go?!" Old Mrs. Xie was shocked and scared.
Qiao Nian had indeed not agreed to her conditions before, and had never promised that everything would be written off as long as she wrote out the list.
But she has already made the list, what else does she want
Guan Yan didn't know how Qiao Nian planned to deal with Old Madam Xie. Qiao Nian was still upstairs and hadn't come down yet, so she couldn't make a decision.
But she couldn't stand Mrs. Xie's domineering attitude at this critical moment, so she took the water and deliberately leaned the cup against the wall to scare her.
"Since you are here, why don't you stay at our Red Alliance headquarters for a few more days? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You can't leave the illegal area anyway, right?"
"She's really not going to let me go?!"
Old Mrs. Xie grasped the key point. Her face turned as pale as paper. She stood there with her palms clenched, her whole body shrouded in shock and anger.
Guan Yan looked at her frightened and scared expression with satisfaction, and answered her with a smile: "I've already said it, it would be too distant if you just leave. Sun wants to keep the old lady in our Red Alliance headquarters for a few more days. Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to arrange a room for you, and you can stay here with peace of mind!"
“…” That little wolf cub wants to keep her under guard!
Seeing that Guan Yan's expression didn't seem to be scaring her, Mrs. Xie staggered due to weakness in her legs. Fortunately, she grabbed the armrest of the sofa next to her and avoided any embarrassing scene.
Her lips trembled for a long time and she wanted to make trouble, but when she thought of the girl's eyes that were colder than Lake Baikal, she swallowed the anger that was just rising up in her.
All that could be heard was Guan Yan's mocking voice: "But we have limited guest rooms here, so I can only have someone clean out the utility room."
Utility room…
Old Mrs. Xie suddenly raised her head and glared at her fiercely, her fingertips trembling with anger.
Guan Yan met her angry gaze, lowered his head and drank a sip of water, then smiled at her provocatively and said meaningfully: "If I were you, old lady, you would be thankful that you are still alive, instead of worrying about whether to stay in the guest room or the utility room."
Mrs. Xie's eyes flickered. She understood that people have to bow their heads under someone's eaves, so she bowed her head in the end: "I... understand."

The next day.
Qiao Nian didn't get up until nine in the morning. She went downstairs to have breakfast and when she heard Guan Yan talking, she remembered that she had forgotten Old Mrs. Xie downstairs yesterday.
Guan Yan saw her eating a piece of bread and whispered, "Sun, what are you going to do with that old woman?"
Qiao Nian took a bite of bread, then took a sip of milk, frowned, and seemed to have a headache: "...I don't know."
"Why not just..." Guan Yan made a 'solve' gesture.
Qiao Nian glanced at her, took another bite of bread and put it down, suddenly losing his appetite. He leaned back in his chair, feeling lazy and cold: "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Just lock her up there first, and I'll deal with it when I think it through."
"…All right."
Qiao Nian sat up straight again, picked up the bread slice on the porcelain plate and continued to eat breakfast in silence.
Guan Yan saw that she was not in a good mood and did not make small talk. Just as he was about to go to the kitchen to get his own breakfast, he heard the girl ask her slowly.
"Did those people in the hotel do anything?"
