Chapter 3842: Brother, We’re Family

Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Nian watched as her car disappeared around the bend, then turned to enter the building.

Just as she was about to reach the bungalow, she received a call from Guan Yan.

Qiao Nian looked at the caller ID and casually accepted the call. “Qin Si said that you’re not back yet. Where are you?”

“Why is he watching me all day long? I’m not his mother.”

Guan Yan complained before changing the topic. “By the way, I called to tell you that a friend I know in the slums is looking for me. I want to meet him. There’s a high chance I’ll eat with him and will only be back after dinner. So, I won’t be eating at home. Help me tell Young Master Ye not to make food for me tonight.”

Since coming to the illegal district, Ye Wangchuan had been the one to settle their meals.

Of course, Guan Yan knew very well that she was just one of the extras. Young Master Ye was definitely not willing to cook for supporting characters like her.

However, no matter what, she had been eating free food for so many days. She still understood the principle of taking someone else’s food. Since she wasn’t eating dinner today, she should let him know in advance.

Qiao Nian stopped in her tracks. “You want to see a friend?”

This timing was too coincidental. She had to think about it.

She did not think Nie Qingru would arrange something right after they met.

However, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Guan Yan was very open-minded. “He’s an old friend. He’s reliable. You don’t have to worry.”

Qiao Nian was silent before saying softly, “Be careful.”

Guan Yan agreed.

They exchanged a few more words. Guan Yan was on the way to her appointment already. She briefly told her when she would be back before hurriedly hanging up.

Qiao Nian hung up and stared at the cell phone with her dark eyes for a while. She considered the friend Guan Yan had mentioned, then stopped thinking about it.

She put her phone in her pocket and took two steps into the western-style building.

“Sister Qiao, you’re back?” Qin Si heard the commotion at the entrance and craned his neck to see who it was. Although he did not see who he was expecting, he still greeted Qiao Nian happily upon her return.

Qiao Nian put down the box of cakes that Jian Jin had forced on her and walked in. Besides Qin Si, she saw Tattoo Arm, Mo Xi, and Ji Lin in the living room.

They seemed to have become familiar with each other.

Tattoo Arm saw her and called out, “Sun.”

The others greeted her respectfully. “Miss Qiao, you’re back.”

Ji Lin and Qiao Nian had always been half-acquainted. Qiao Nian did not take their previous disagreement to heart, but Ji Lin had always been thinking about this and did not dare to get too close to her.

Mo Xi was much better. He was a smooth-talker, to begin with. In addition, he had sharp eyes and had never thought that Qiao Nian was ordinary.

He smiled and greeted the girl. Then, he pointed at the study and said meaningfully, “Master Wang is on a call inside.”

Qiao Nian happened to have something to discuss with Ye Wangchuan. She did not think too much about it and went straight to the study.

The few people outside looked at each other.

Mo Xi watched as Qiao Nian entered the study and closed the door. Then, she patted his shoulder and smiled like a fox. “Brother, we’re family!”

Tattoo Arm was straight. He was disgusted by the intimacy with people of the same gender. Frowning, he slapped his hand and said coolly, “I understand.”
