Chapter 2600  Little Miss, Why Are You Suddenly Interested in Us?

However, Qiao Nian had already received a call from Old Master Jiang.

Old Master Jiang asked her the same question: Do something about it or not?

If Qiao Nian wanted to, he would risk his old face to plead with Wei Lou.

However, Qiao Nian only lowered her eyes and said casually, "Don't worry about him."

She had known Wei Lou for so long, he was one of her few friends in Rao City.

She would not interfere in his conflict with Shen Jingyan this time.

She had already cut ties with Shen Jingyan back then, so she was not obligated to help him now.

Besides, the other party was her friend.

"It's not convenient for us to interfere in their family matters."

Old Master Jiang did not ask about this anymore. Instead, he asked when she would be back.

Qiao Nian calculated the time and promised him that she would be back for her birthday in three months. Old Master Jiang hung up in satisfaction.

Then, he secretly transferred a six-figure sum of pocket money to her on WeChat and insisted that she accept it. He said that he was worried about her being alone outside.

Qiao Nian leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the transfer record. She could not help but smile. Her heart warmed, and her fair finger clicked on "Accept".

Seeing that the red packet had been accepted, Old Master Jiang was very happy and sent her a voice message telling her to be careful outside and wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold.

Blah, blah, blah.

Qiao Nian patiently listened to all his voice messages before putting down her cell phone to charge and going to the bathroom to shower.

Half an hour later.

Qiao Nian came out of the bathroom and wiped the water droplets from her hair. She saw the phone screen on the table light up when she came out.

She walked over and picked it up again.

It was a call from He Lin.

If it were in the past, Qiao Nian would definitely not have picked up this call.

This time, she hesitated for a moment before picking it up. "Hello."

She had just taken a shower. Her voice was cold and distant as if it came from afar.

He Lin was a little surprised. "Little Miss, I thought you wouldn't answer my call."

"What's the matter?"

Qiao Nian sat down and propped up her legs before asking him impatiently.

He Lin composed himself and said in a low voice, "It's the Patriarch's 45th birthday party in a few days. Do you have time to attend? I sent the invitation to your residence, but I haven't received an answer from you. That's why I called."

Qiao Nian frowned. She should have rejected him without thinking, but the words hang on the tip of her tongue.

In the end, she asked, "Where is it?"

"Intercontinental, the first-floor lobby of the Intercontinental Hotel."

He Lin was pleasantly surprised. Afraid that she would say anything, he quickly added, "We booked the first-floor lobby. There won't be many people, just some acquaintances. Little Miss knows quite a number of them.

"Young Master Ji will come too."

He was talking about Ji Nan.

Only now did Qiao Nian remember that she had not contacted Ji Nan for a long time. She did not know what he had been doing recently.

She did not agree immediately. She only said, "We'll see when the time comes."

He Lin was afraid that she would go back on her word, so he hurriedly said, "Alright, come and tell me when the time comes. I'll pick you up."

Qiao Nian remained silent.

Before hanging up, He Lin couldn't help but whisper, "Little Miss, why are you suddenly willing…"

He did not mention what exactly she was willing to do.

He was afraid that he would say the wrong thing.

Qiao Nian understood what he meant. "I just felt that it was too easy for me to return this time, so I was wondering if someone helped me from behind the scenes."
