Chapter 2836 Sister Nian: What Makes You Think I'll Let You Off?

"Mom, what did Elder Ye say?" Wei Ling impatiently asked when Wei Ying returned home.

Wei Ying had aged a lot. In just three days, her hair had turned white. Facing her daughter's expectant gaze, she dragged her heavy body past her. "I didn't get to see him."

"How could that be?" Wei Ling's legs went weak. "Elder Ye was unwilling to see you?"

Wei Ying put down her bag and turned around to talk to her face-to-face. Her eyes were dark. "I thought he would give me face no matter what. Who knew that after waiting for two hours, he would refuse to see me just like that? I have no choice this time!"

Wei Ling felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

There was nothing she could do?

Their entire family had bet on the reclusive families. Now that Wei Ying told her that there was no other way, what should they do?

Was she joining Wei Qi in jail?

"Jingyan isn't home?" Wei Ying asked after noticing that she was alone.

Wei Ling's mind was in a mess. She vaguely said, "He went out in the afternoon. I don't know where he went." Wei Ying guessed where Shen Jingyan had gone.

At this juncture, Shen Jingyan could only look for connections. He had most likely found out Qiao Nian's location and went to look for her.

…

Reality proved Wei Ying's guess right.

Outside Lan Pavilion.

Shen Jingyan only found out about Qiao Nian's movements from his friends after asking around. He rushed to Lan Pavilion and waited.

Hard work paid off.

He finally found the person he was waiting for.

Shen Jingyan rushed out of the car, afraid that the person would leave if he was a step late.

Lan Pavilion's security was strict. In his current situation, he might not even be able to enter Lan Pavilion, let alone go in to find someone.

"Nian Nian!"

Shen Jingyan shouted before the girl stepped into Lan Pavilion.

Ye Lan was in charge tonight. Ye Wangchuan, Qin Si, and the others were all together. Everyone planned to gather together. It was more lively with more people.

Qin Si turned around and saw the sallow Shen Jingyan not far away. He blinked unhappily and said, "Why did he follow us?"

Qiao Nian pulled down her baseball cap and turned to them. "You guys go in first."

Ye Wangchuan called the others. "Let's go." Qin Si, Gu San, and the others tactfully went in without saying anything.

Ye Wangchuan waited until everyone entered before asking, "Do you want to talk to him alone or should I stay with you?"

Qiao Nian looked at the time on her phone and looked up at him. "Go in. I'll be there in 10 minutes."

This meant that she would have a few words with Shen Jingyan alone.

"Yeah."

Ye Wangchuan nodded slightly. He was not worried that Shen Jingyan would cause any trouble. Since Qiao Nian wanted to talk to him alone, he went in first.

…

"Nian Nian." At this moment, Shen Jingyan walked up to Qiao Nian.

He was in a sorry state. His life was not good. He had lost more than 10 kilograms of weight and was so thin that his appearance from his prime was gone.

Qiao Nian turned her baseball cap to the back, revealing her exquisite face. Her facial features were stunning and flamboyant. It was obvious that she was much more mature and steady than a year ago.

"You want to intercede with me?"

Shen Jingyan was trying to say something when her words disrupted his rhythm. He stood there awkwardly and could not speak for a long time.

Qiao Nian did not waste any time with him. After all, Old Master Ye and Ye Lan were still waiting for her upstairs. Thus, she went straight to the point. "So that family was instructed by you to frame my father?"

"Nian Nian." Shen Jingyan was embarrassed and could only squeeze out the words. "I didn't know what your aunt's mother did until after the fact…"

Qiao Nian did not indulge him. Her black eyes seemed able to see through his heart. "Oh, and you didn't do anything after you found out. Instead, you waited to see how things developed. Now that you're at your wits' end, you came looking for me. Do you think I'll let you off just because you treated me kindly in Rao City?"
