Chapter 3388: Ji Nan: Can You Come Back a Few Days Early?

On the other side.

Xie Yun had yet to receive Robert’s reply call.

Over the past few days, she was tired of dealing with the elders asking about Li Lingfeng’s condition. Unable to rest well the past few days, her well-maintained face was covered in tired lines.

“Third Uncle and the others have left?”

“Yes, they’ve just left.”

As soon as Xie Yun opened her eyes, she saw a cup of warm water in front of her.

She looked up at Ji Nan, who had returned from the old residence, standing before her, holding the water glass and gesturing for her to drink it.

Xie Yun’s tired expression eased a little. She took the glass from him and lowered her head to take a sip. The warm water flowed down her throat and into her stomach, slightly soothing her exhausted heart.

“Didn’t see your dad again today?”

Ji Nan sat down beside her. “Mm, I didn’t see him.”

Xie Yun didn’t know how to tell him for a while. After a moment of silence, she said, “Don’t worry, you’ll see him one day.”

Ji Nan didn’t answer this question directly and looked at her. “Those people come to our house every day to look for you. Why don’t you disappear for a while? Otherwise, you’ll be tired out eventually.”

“No way.”

Xie Yun was from a prestigious family, after all. She was very clear about the twists and turns. She rubbed her swollen temples and tried to move her numb face.

“Your father suddenly came back and locked himself up at home. If I don’t see these people, I’m afraid they will have evil thoughts.

“The Ji family’s current situation…” Xie Yun glanced at him and said weakly, “If you had entered the First Research Institute and not majored in finance, it might not have been so bad.

“…But if your father doesn’t appear now, you won’t be able to control the situation. I can only stabilize the situation for now, lest they cause trouble again.”

She was telling the truth.

During Ji Lingfeng’s disappearance, many internal conflicts struck the Ji family. Every family member was secretly working hard for their own benefit.

The previous farce almost made Ji Ziyin the next head of the family.

Now that Ji Lingfeng had suddenly returned, these people who had caused trouble in the past must be feeling uneasy. It was fine if they simply asked her about his condition, but if they caused trouble…

Xie Yun felt tired just thinking about it.

She sighed deeply. “I wonder when Nian Nian will be back. If only she were here now.”

Qiao Nian wasn’t a member of the Ji family and had never agreed to return.

However, the older generation was afraid of her.

If Qiao Nian were in the independent continent, these people would at least restrain themselves. They wouldn’t be like now, getting increasingly restless with Ji Lingfeng’s absence.

Ji Nan had just spoken to Qiao Nian on the phone, so he knew when she would return. “She’ll be back soon.”

Xie Yun glanced at him. Before she could ask him how he knew, her cell phone vibrated. She took it out and looked at the caller ID.

Abruptly getting up, she walked towards the bedroom. “I’ll go back to my room to rest. You can stay here for a while.”

Ji Nan thought she was avoiding him.

Although he didn’t know why she was avoiding him, he felt vaguely uneasy.

Ji Nan frowned, took out his phone, found the contact with a blank profile picture, and sent a message.

[J: Can you come back a few days early?]

Seeing the word “read” appear behind his message, Ji Nan’s tense heart relaxed slightly. He turned to his room, planning to shower as he waited for Qiao Nian’s reply.
