1706 Right, What’s Your Friend’s Name?
Qiao Nian frowned but didn’t say anything.
He said unhurriedly, “They spend their own money on their own goods. They’re already so old. How can they take advantage of the younger generation? Let them pay for it themselves.”
Qiao Nian gritted her teeth. She really wanted to say that she wasn’t from the Ye family, either. Who would cheat their own family like this?
He glanced at her and seemed to know what she was thinking. He smiled and said in a low voice, “You’ve helped them this time. I’ll get them to give you a big red packet on your birthday.
“My girlfriend is young. She came all the way here. She has never seen a big city. She has no money!”
He said ‘no money’ very confidently. He bent his legs and leaned against the side of the single sofa in a lazy and casual posture, his eyes filled with smiles.
Qiao Nian almost believed his nonsense.
However, she was completely convinced!
He was awesome!

On the other side.
Ji Nan had just arrived home.
“You’re back?” A lady in her forties walked out and pulled him inside. As she walked, she asked him excitedly, “Where’s your friend? Why didn’t you bring her home for me to see her?”
“She’s back at the hotel.” Ji Nan’s mind was still filled with the fact that Qiao Nian had a boyfriend, especially since her boyfriend was someone he couldn’t figure out. He couldn’t help but worry that Qiao Nian was too young and had been deceived.
After all, SN’s personal abilities aside, she was really young. In addition, she was too good-looking, so it might be unsafe.
“Why is she back at the hotel? Didn’t you invite her home?” Xie Yun followed him all the way. Seeing that her son was rarely distracted, she felt that there was a chance. She asked him with interest, “By the way, what was your friend’s name again?
“Speaking of your friend’s hotel, there was a small incident at Paradise Hotel today. Even your father was alerted.”
Ji Nan unbuttoned his collar, took off his jacket, and threw it on the sofa. He looked at her, unsurprised. “I heard some things. It’s just a small matter of someone fighting with the president of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Torre, for an auction item. This kind of thing doesn’t happen every day in the Independent Continent, but it’s not rare. There’s nothing to be surprised about.”
Qiao Nian had told him about this, so Ji Nan thought that she was referring to this.
However, Xie Yun shook her head and said, “No, it’s not just fighting for something at the auction. That’s not enough to alarm your father.”
“Then…” Ji Nan looked at her.
Xie Yun thought for a moment before saying, “The key is that after this thing was auctioned off, the people from Bright Gate broke into the Chamber of Commerce Alliance’s headquarters and captured Torre.
“The Chamber of Commerce Alliance is considered a force in the Independent Continent. Bright Gate is very domineering this time. Someone from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance contacted your father. It’s said that they also contacted the Xie family. I wonder if your father will appear this time.”
There were a few top factions in the Independent Continent, and these factions were almost like gods.
The Ji and Xie families were both one of them.
There was also an ancient martial arts family, the Nan family, that had transcended the battles on the Independent Continent.
Xie Yun didn’t care much about trivial matters outside the Independent Continent. She lowered her eyes and said casually, “I heard that all the forces in the Independent Continent are investigating the background of the girl who had a conflict with Torre. They don’t know who she is.”
Ji Nan was so shocked that he couldn’t speak.
At this moment, Xie Yun looked at him and became concerned about Qiao Nian again. “By the way, Ji Nan, you haven’t told me the name of the friend you ate with today.”
