Chapter 3486: Don’t Worry, The Deputy Director and I Are Here

“If you want to protect the people and important things around you, you have to learn to be independent and strong like Nian Nian.

“No one can always protect you. You’re a brother and a man. You need to stand up and protect her. You shouldn’t let her stand up every time and become a knife to open a path for you!”

Xie Yun had never spoken like that to Ji Nan.

She had said a lot today. She didn’t know how much her son would listen to.

Xie Yun didn’t force him to grow up overnight. She brushed her curly hair behind her ear and broke the heavy atmosphere.

“I remember that Mingshui Mansion is your Aunt Xiaoxiao’s place. Since I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I’ll treat her to tea to inquire about her progress.”

Before leaving, Xie Yun stopped and turned to look at Ji Nan sitting on the sofa. “The Ji family—”

Behind his hand, Ji Nan’s eyes were cold and firm. “I’ll ask Second Uncle to come over.”

Xie Yun’s mouth curled up. She was gratified that her son had grown up but sighed at the same time since he had been forced. She shook her head and turned around to leave, thinking about the Mingshui Mansion’s owner.

In addition, she called Xie Tingyun and asked about the rumors about the First Research Institute cutting ties with Qiao Nian.

She wanted to see if there was anything she could do to help.

Qiao Nian didn’t know that after she had left, Xie Yun took the opportunity to educate Ji Nan and make him take responsibility as soon as possible.

She had just left Ji Nan’s apartment and had yet to get into the car when she received a call from Zhou Zhou.

In fact, ever since she came to look for Ji Nan in the morning, her cell phone had never stopped vibrating.

It was just that she didn’t take it out inside.

Zhou Zhou called relentlessly.

Qiao Nian entered the car, closed the door, and accepted the call. “Speak.”

Falling silent, Qiao Nian opened the window to get some air.

Coincidentally, the chauffeur asked her where to go.

Qiao Nian gave him an address, and the chauffeur started the car.

The October wind was indescribably wet and cold on her face. Fortunately, Ye Wangchuan had forced her to change into a thicker sweater. However, the sweater wasn’t enough to withstand the cold that entered her bones when the wind blew.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?

“I’m hanging up if you keep quiet.”

As she spoke, she rested her arm on the edge of the car window. She had no intention of hanging up. She was just bluffing.

However, someone just had to fall for it.

Sure enough, silent all this time, Zhou Zhou immediately said in a muffled tone, “Don’t hang up. I’ve looked for the dean. For some reason, he won’t let go this time. He won’t tell me why he sent that email. Sun, tell me honestly. Did you say something to him? What you’re going to do is very dangerous and you’re afraid of implicating the First Research Institute, so you asked the dean to send that email?”

Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows. She had to admit that a woman’s sixth sense was on point. Her guess was very accurate, but she did not admit it. “No.”

Zhou Zhou believed her. Qiao Nian never lied.

Since Qiao Nian said no, it would be too stupid of her to insist on getting her to admit it.

Zhou Zhou took a deep breath and seemed to have figured it out. She said to the girl, “Don’t worry. I’ve discussed it with the Deputy Director. We’ll continue to reason with the dean until he relents. Stay at home and wait for our news.”
