"Something happened." Qiao Nian was in a bad mood, his tone was cold and dry, and he spoke quickly: "I have to go back to Raocheng this afternoon. I have just booked a flight for 3 pm. I will go to the airport after dinner."
She looked at the plane tickets and found that the earliest flight from Beijing to the city center was at 3:15 pm. If she missed this flight, she would have to wait until 8 pm to catch the next one.
She can't wait that long!
So he didn't have time to tell Ye Wangchuan and just booked two tickets for a flight around the city in the corridor outside.
Because of the last-minute booking, many seats were reserved and the first-class cabin was full, so she and Liang Bowen had to go back in economy class.
Qiao Nian felt inexplicably anxious when she thought of this.
Ye Wangchuan looked at the unconcealed irritability on her face, his eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "So urgent?"
It seems that something really happened around the city.
Based on his understanding of Qiao Nian, she only cares about a few people. Chenchen is being taken care of by Jiang Li, and he also arranged a guard from the Ye family to watch over her, so it definitely isn't Chenchen.
Jiang Li...
If Jiang Li had something to do, the first thing he should do was contact his family instead of looking for Qiao Nian.
Then the remaining options are easy to guess—the person looking for her is either Aunt Chen or a classmate of hers!
Ye Wangchuan's gaze fell inconspicuously on the older boy who was as quiet as a chicken beside him. Judging from Liang Bowen's reaction, the possibility of him being from Class A was very small.
He put his hands on the table and basically had the answer in his mind.
The truth is often the only guess left after all the impossible answers are eliminated. Excluding all the other impossible people, there is only one reason for Qiao Nian to rush back: Aunt Chen.
Ye Wangchuan half-closed his eyes, and the first thing that came to his mind was that Uncle Chen's condition had worsened. Aunt Chen didn't know what to do, so she called Qiao Nian. Qiao Nian was worried about Uncle Chen, so she hurriedly bought a plane ticket to go back to the city.
He leaned back in the chair, relaxed his shoulders, raised his eyes and asked, "Do you want Gu San to go back with you?"
He had originally planned to fly with her tomorrow afternoon, and had arranged a dinner party in the evening, inviting Qin Si and the NSA people. It was unrealistic to cancel the trip at the last minute, so he could only leave tomorrow as planned. But he was worried about Qiao Nian going back alone, so it was better for Gu San to go with her than for her to go back to Raocheng alone.
Gu San understood his thoughts very well and said readily, "Yes, Miss Qiao, I will accompany you back. There will be someone to take care of you on the way."
"No need to go through so much trouble. The plane will arrive in three hours, and it's too late to buy tickets now." She just looked at the tickets and there were only three left. She bought two and only one was left. They had been eating for such a long time, the last ticket must have been sold out long ago.
Qiao Nian's eyebrows were indifferent, and no emotion could be seen. She said, "Liang Bowen is with me. I will send you a message when the plane arrives."
Before Gu San could speak again, her eyebrows moved slightly, she remembered something, raised her eyes and said to Ye Wangchuan: "Cancel the box I asked you to book for tomorrow."
She didn't expect Chen Yuan would disappear. She had originally planned to have a meal with Mr. Jiang before leaving, but now it seems that it won't be possible.
Qiao Nian felt annoyed when she thought about this. She pursed her lips and added, "If I can't cancel it, I'll transfer the money to you."
She thought that the grade of Yu Mansion was no lower than that of Shuixiexuan around the city. It was difficult to reserve a table at such a place, so naturally few people would cancel at the last minute. Shuixiexuan did not have the rule of cancelling a table after reservation. It was up to you whether to come or not, and you had to pay.
