1583 Sister Nian Saw Through Everything!
Half an hour later.
Rhine Apartments.
Qiao Nian had just woken up, her eyes still filled with anger. She had been woken up by Jiang Li’s call. She hadn’t slept well last night, so she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head upon being woken up in the morning.
“Hello.” Qiao Nian pulled out the chair beside the desk and sat down. As it was a call from Jiang Li, her attitude was quite good. At least she didn’t blame him for waking her.
“Nian Nian…” Jiang Li found it difficult to speak.
Qiao Nian sat there patiently with her arm propped up on her elbow. Seeing the water bottle from the corner of her eye, she clutched the phone to her ear, reached for the bottle, and unscrewed the cap. She tilted her head back and gulped down a mouthful of water, finally moistening her dry throat. “You wanted to see me?”
The girl’s voice sounded much brighter. At least, it did not sound dry and hoarse.
Jiang Li had mixed feelings when he heard her voice. After a long time, he took a deep breath and asked her, “I-I heard that you kidnapped Qi Lanyin. Is that true?”
Qiao Nian had been playing with the bottle cap with one hand. Hearing this, her eyes turned cold. Instead of answering his question, she asked him, “Who told you that?”
Jiang Li became more worried. “Never mind who told me. Just tell me if it’s true.”
Qiao Nian remained silent.
Jiang Li was extremely anxious in the hospital. He tried to get up from the bed again but failed. He hated himself for his incompetence. He gritted his teeth and said anxiously, “Nian Nian, listen to me. Don’t provoke the Qi family. They are very dangerous. That Qi Yan is not someone to be trifled with. Regardless of whether my matter has anything to do with the Qi family, don’t be rash. Wait for me to recover first. I’ll handle it. Be obedient, Nian Nian.”
Qiao Nian could hear the anxiety and worry in his voice, and her heart warmed. Her hostility was mostly suppressed. She still didn’t agree to Jiang Li’s request directly. Her slender and fair fingers tapped on the desk, and she asked impatiently, “Did Jiang Xianrou tell you that?”
Jiang Li immediately stammered as if someone had hit his pressure points. “She…”
Realizing that he was being led by the nose by Qiao Nian, he panicked. “Nian Nian, that’s not the main point. I’m worried that you’ll be alone…”
“What did Jiang Xianrou tell you?” Qiao Nian was quite insistent on this question. She asked casually, “Didn’t I get someone to guard the in-patient department? No one is allowed to visit you these few days.”
Jiang Li didn’t know why he had called. He couldn’t answer for a long time, and his aura was completely suppressed by Qiao Nian.
However, on second thought, Qiao Nian figured out how Jiang Xianrou had contacted Jiang Li. The corners of her lips curled up into a smile, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. Her eyes were extremely dry. She threw the bottle cap on the table and leaned back. Her sitting posture was arrogant and lazy as she lowered her voice and said, “Let me guess. What did she tell you on the phone? She said that I provoked the Qi family. If I don’t kneel down and beg for mercy, the Qi family will deal with me. She asked you to persuade me to stop early so that I won’t be dealt with by the Qi family?”
Jiang Li was speechless.
Qiao Nian paused for a second. Seeing that he didn’t say anything, she knew that she had guessed correctly. She smiled again, her eyes wild and arrogant. “If I guess again, she also told you that I won’t listen to them. I’ll only listen to you, right?”
