Chapter 3729: No Matter How Important You Are, You’re Not As Important As My Family
10 minutes later.
The independent continent.
Qiao Nian received a trashy ssage from an unknown number.
She lowered her eyelashes and looked at the screen. Then, she swiped her fair fingertips across the screen and deleted the ssage, not sparing another glance at it.
…
The next day.
Hua Ci greeted the dical team and stayed behind alone. After sending her companions off at the hotel, she called Ye Lan.
This ti, she started a video call.
Her suite had a projector.
Her phone was connected to Bluetooth, and Ye Lan’s face was projected on the screen. Judging from the background, she should be in the company.
“Hua Ci, what’s wrong?”
Holding a docunt, Ye Lan looked at her in puzzlent. “Aren’t you coming back today? Why are you still in the hotel?”
“Aunt Ye.” Hua Ci found it hard to speak. “I ssaged Qiao Nian asking her out for a al to apologize, but she hasn’t replied yet, so I…”
Hence, she did not leave with her colleagues. Instead, she changed her flight ti to two days later.
Ye Lan could tell what she was implying and put down the docunt. “You want to treat Nian Nian to a al? Why?”
“After what had happened, I bumped into her again and had a conflict with her. She said sothing to . I went back and thought about it and felt that I said sothing wrong.”
Hua Ci stamred, not wanting to make things clear to Ye Lan. Then, she took a deep breath and looked at her expectantly. “Aunt Ye, can you help ask her out?”
Before Ye Lan could answer, she quickly emphasized, “I really want to apologize to her.”
Ye Lan was silent for two seconds, her sharp and capable eyes staring fixedly at her. “I promised your mother that I would take care of you.”
Hua Ci heaved a sigh of relief. “I know you’ve taken good care of all these years. Without you, I wouldn’t have my current achievents. I’m very grateful to you.”
“That’s not what I ant.”
Hua Ci looked at her in confusion. “Aunt Ye, you an?”
Ye Lan did not want to make things too unpleasant. “I promised your mother to take care of you, but it’s only limited to taking care of you. Your mother and I were good friends, but we didn’t have that deep of a relationship. In other words, even if your mother was still alive, she wouldn’t be more important than my family. I told you before that Nian Nian will marry Wangchuan in the future. But you went to provoke her… I can’t understand what you’re doing.”
“Aunt Ye—” Hua Ci was a little embarrassed.
Ye Lan stopped her. “You don’t have to explain. I know her personality. She’s not the kind of person who easily argues with soone. Since you said she had a conflict with you, it ans what you said is definitely not ordinary. You must have crossed her bottom line for her to act this way.”
Hua Ci did not expect Ye Lan to scold her without asking anything. She was extrely disappointed in her.
Not only was she embarrassed, but she was also a little flustered. “Aunt Ye…”
Seeing her fair face turn red and then pale, Ye Lan did not make things difficult for her on account of her deceased friend. “Wangchuan has gone back.”
“Tell …” Hua Ci’s eyes lit up, and her fingers subconsciously curled.
Ye Lan saw her agitation and said coldly, “He’s in the independent continent. I can’t call Nian Nian, or he’ll be angry if he finds out. You’re an adult. You’ll settle the matter yourself. If you can’t, you’ll take responsibility. I have to go to a eting. I won’t talk to you anymore.”
