“Who’s looking for me?” Qiao Nian’s unhurried voice came from inside.
Qi Rongguang was clearly stunned to hear such a young female voice.
Gu San looked at the two of them. Looking at Qi Lanyin, he wanted to say something but hesitated. Instead, he said a little unpleasantly, “I don’t know them.”
He did not give them any face!
Qi Rongguang’s face instantly darkened. Thinking of the identity of the person staying in this room, he forced a smile and pretended not to understand the subtext. He stood at the door elegantly and refused to leave.
After all, Qi Lanyin was young and impetuous. The Qi family’s development overseas was smooth sailing.
She was always surrounded by people who admired her when she went out. Even the masters of medical organizations taught her one-on-one. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
But her father’s warning was still ringing in her ears.
She pinched her fingertips and pursed her red lips. She kept a straight face and remained unsmiling, but she did not dare to behave atrociously here.
It felt like a century had passed.
The girl finally appeared in front of them. She was wearing a long-sleeved sweater and a pair of slim-fit jeans. Her style was casual and almost lazy. This time, she was not wearing a cap, revealing her exquisite face.
Seeing the girl walking out, Qi Lanyin’s expression changed drastically. She raised her arm and pointed at Qiao Nian. As if she had seen a ghost, she blurted out, “How come it’s you?!”
At the banquet on the top floor, she vaguely felt that she had seen Qiao Nian.
However, the figure flashed past her.
She didn’t have time to see it clearly or chase after it to confirm.
Qi Lanyin originally thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her and that she had gotten the wrong person.
But she couldn’t control her emotions when Qiao Nian appeared in front of her. Her expression was terrible!
Her attitude shocked Qi Rongguang, who was almost horrified to find out that Sun was actually so young. With a dark face, he pulled her elbow downwards and shouted angrily, “Qi Lanyin, what are you doing?!”
“Dad, she…” Qi Lanyin staggered from his forceful tug. She looked at Qiao Nian with an extremely complicated gaze, filled with jealousy and anger.
She wanted to tell him what had happened in Beijing.
However, Qi Rongguang did not give her the chance. He glanced at her warningly and lowered his voice. “Have you forgotten what I told you before!”
Qi Lanyin bit her lip. Her heart was in turmoil, but she didn’t dare to be presumptuous here.
He watched as she quietened down.
Qi Rongguang rubbed his temple and forced a gentle smile. He looked very shrewd, but he was respectful in front of Qiao Nian. “Miss Qiao, I’m sorry. I didn’t teach my daughter well. She’s my only child and I usually spoil her, which led to her lawless personality outside. I’ll definitely discipline her well when we get back!”
“Mm.” Qiao Nian recognized the two of them as well. Before she came to the illegal district, she had checked on Hengfeng Corporation and seen Qi Rongguang’s photo. As for Qi Lanyin, this wasn’t the first time they had met.
Qi Rongguang looked at her overly young face and couldn’t be sure if she was the person he was looking for.
However, the Council had already revealed that if they wanted to stand on the side of the research team of Qing University, they could only rely on the Red Alliance’s power.
There was still room for negotiation if the Red Alliance could pressure the IT Association.
If they couldn’t, the Qing University scientific research team would obtain the right to develop the chip, and their interests would be greatly damaged. They could have monopolized the entire industry, but because Qing University had also overcome the chip technology problem, they would have a share of the pie in China.
