2343 The Chamber of Commerce Allianceâs Attitudeâ¦
Qiao Nian looked at the food piled up in her bowl and rubbed her eyebrows. She then looked up and said, âDo you think Iâm a rice monster?â
Ye Wangchuan raised his eyebrows with curled lips. Then, he gracefully handed her a plate of preserved fruits. âDonât worry, I wonât despise you.â
Before Qiao Nian could speak, seeing that the two of them were talking about something, Ye Lan seemed to have remembered something. She called the waiter and asked the girl loudly, âNian Nian, do you want porridge?â
Ye Wangchuan looked at her.
Qiao Nian was silent. In the face of Ye Lanâs enthusiasm, she pursed her lips and slowly picked up her chopsticks. Coughing, she said, âAunt Ye, Iâm almost done eating. I donât want porridge.â
Ye Lan asked the waiter to bring a bowl of silver fungus soup. She even said to the girl with a smile, âAlright, we wonât eat too much tonight. Iâll order you some silver fungus soup. Drink it to nourish your stomach.â
Qiao Nianâs temples twitched. Under Ye Lanâs expectant gaze, she slowly picked up her chopsticks. âThank you, Aunt Ye.â
Qiao Nian had a headache as she agonized over how to eat the silver fungus soup.
At this moment, Ye Wangchuan snatched the bowl and calmly said to his aunt, âI happen to want to eat silver fungus.â
Ye Lan glared at him. âCanât you order it yourself?â
Ye Wangchuan, on the other hand, lazily said, âOh, Iâm used to freeloading.â
Ye Lan was choked by his words and could not find anything to say to him for a long time.
Some time passed.
Soon, half an hour passed.
Ye Shan looked at the time on her watch and revealed an âI knew itâ expression. She was about to remind everyone that half an hour had passed.
âIt seems to be time. The person youâre talking aboutâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, someone knocked on the door of the private room.
Ye Kejiâs eyelids twitched, and he instinctively looked in Qiao Nianâs direction. He saw no anxiety on the girlâs face. Instead, she was calm. He had some idea now.
Hence, he said to the person outside, âCome in.â
âIâm sorry to disturb you.â The person was very polite.
It was not until Ye Keji spoke that he opened the door and politely entered.
Ye Keji was already a little surprised when he heard the personâs voice.
Soon, he saw the man after he entered.
The man was in his forties. He had blond hair and blue eyes and looked very gentle. He was clothed in a dark green suit. It was obvious that he had rushed over from a formal occasion and did not even have time to change out of his clothes.
Not only did Ye Keji know this person, but Ye Shan also knew him.
Shocked, she had already stood up from her seat and cried out, âPresident Simon?â
Simon looked around the private room. His gaze only paused on Ye Wangchuan for a moment, as if he was a little suspicious.
However, he did not have time to think too much about it. Soon, his gaze landed on the girl.
âMiss Qiao.â Simon completely ignored Ye Keji and Ye Shan and quickly walked towards the girl. He greeted her solicitously and then asked, âMiss Qiao, why didnât you tell me you had time? If I had known that you were coming to the Intercontinental to eat, Iâd have sent someone to arrange it.â
He did not even seem to notice Old Master Ye and Ye Lan. He only looked at the others before turning to say to the girl, âMiss Qiao, why donât you move to the private room next door? Other than me, there are also people from the Arbitration Alliance and a few others who want to see you.â
