Chapter 2909 Qiao Nian, Give It Back to Me!  

Lu Yiming was not stupid. He immediately stood up. "Then… what will you do?"

He did not have much of a relationship with Qiao Nian.

It was not even a friendship.

Qiao Nian was surprised and tilted her head slightly. "Me?"

Lu Yiming nodded. "If I say that, they won't let it go. I'll be fine. But what about you?"

Qiao Nian snorted, stared at him with her dark eyes, and said coldly, "Do you think I care about them?"

She did not care.

Lu Yiming's brain worked faster than his mouth, but he still could not help but remind the girl in a hoarse voice, "They're the reclusive families. The person who wants this painting is one of the three big shots of the Privy Council. You've stayed in the Privy Council before, so you should have seen him… Leonard."

Qiao Nian nodded casually. "Yes, I have."

"Then why are you…" Lu Yiming was even more confused.

Qiao Nian did not intend to explain to him. She casually said, "I'm taking the painting with me. Remember what I told you. If you don't want to get into trouble, just insist that I stole your painting!"

Lu Yiming watched the girl leave. Then, he left the café without any hesitation…

He was wondering if he should chase after her and send her off when his cell phone vibrated. He lowered his head and saw the name 'Ji Ziyin' flashing on the screen.

Lu Yiming slowly picked up his cell phone and rejected the call.

**

On the side of the road.

In a high-class car.

Seeing that her call was rejected, Ji Ziyin pursed her lips and looked over, only to see someone walking out of the café.

She calmed down slightly after realizing that the person was very familiar. Moreover, she was holding a drawing board.

The painting!

Ji Ziyin's pupils were constricted. She immediately unbuckled the seatbelt, opened the door, and quickly got out of the car.

"Qiao Nian!" Ji Ziyin quickly caught up to the girl and blocked her way.

A little surprised to see her, the girl placed the white canvas at her feet and pulled down the brim of her baseball cap to cover her cold eyes. "A good dog doesn't block the way."

The voice was hoarse and casual.

It was Qiao Nian's voice!

Ji Ziyin's expression changed slightly, and her breathing almost stopped.

Qiao Nian called her a dog?!

However, Ji Ziyin had seen the big scenes. She quickly pinched her palm and calmed down. Refusing to give in, her gaze landed on the drawing board by the girl's feet. "That's… Lu Yiming's painting, right?"

She thought Qiao Nian would at least brush her off.

Unexpectedly, the girl did not even bother lying. "Oh, so what if it is?"

The blood rushed to the top of Ji Ziyin's head. She barely controlled her emotions and coldly asked, "Why is the painting with you?" The girl's attitude was lazy. "Does it have anything to do with you?"

Ji Ziyin subconsciously blurted out, "Of course, he…" It seemed like she had never had an open relationship with Lu Yiming. All along, they only had an unspoken mutual understanding.

However, Ji Ziyin quickly found a more suitable way to put it. "I've known him since we were young. It's normal for me to be concerned if my friend's painting is stolen, right?"

Then, she stretched her hand towards the girl. "Give it back to me!"
