Chapter 2598 Is Sun Alright?

"Why did the dean call you over?" Ye w.a.n.gchuan blanched a few pieces of tripe for the girl and put down his chopsticks.

Qiao Nian was still eating. At his question, she raised her beautiful eyes. "Oh, something happened."

Without waiting for him to ask, she took the initiative to say, "He wants me to enter the Privy Council."

Ye w.a.n.gchuan's eyes flashed. As expected, he knew about this inst.i.tution.

"The Privy Council of the reclusive families?"

He thought for a moment and lowered his eyes. "The dean is doing this for your own good."

Qiao Nian glanced at him, not surprised that he knew about this place. She nodded and continued casually, "I know what he's thinking. He also shared his thoughts with me."

Ye w.a.n.gchuan looked at her. "What do you think?"

He wanted to know what Qiao Nian was thinking.

This time, Qiao Nian did not look at him as she picked up another piece of beef. "I haven't thought it through yet. I might give it a try, or I might not."

Qiao Nian suddenly lost her appet.i.te. She put down her chopsticks and looked at him. Her entire body was enveloped in a cold air that was not to be trifled with. "He wants me to partic.i.p.ate in the Privy Court's recruitment, but the condition for them to recruit new people is to admit that the Ji family's blood flows in my veins"

She grew gloomy at the mention of the Ji family. "You should know what I found out. The Ji family was also involved in my mother's death."

Ye w.a.n.gchuan held her hand. He lowered his eyes and said in a soothing and pleasant voice, "But no matter what, Auntie is still a member of the Ji family."

Qiao Nian suddenly looked up.

His expression was firm and unwavering as he calmly stated. "Auntie has never denied her ident.i.ty."

Qiao Nian pursed her lips and avoided his gaze. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating again.

A full minute pa.s.sed.

Only then did she say irritably, "I'll think about it."

Ye w.a.n.gchuan did not want to force her. He just provided her with a new perspective.

Seeing that the girl seemed annoyed, he silently picked up his chopsticks again and put a few pieces of tripe in her bowl. "Eat first. Think about it after you're full."

Gu San acted as the background throughout. He did not interrupt, speak, or ask questions.

At this moment, his cell phone vibrated.

Gu San put down his chopsticks, took out his cell phone, and looked down.

Zhou Zhou had sent him a message.

[Is Sun alright?]

Gu San secretly looked at Qiao Nian and typed a reply: [Miss Qiao is fine. She's eating hotpot.]

He had yet to put his cell phone back when Zhou Zhou followed with a new message: [It's good that she's fine. I was worried she was in a bad mood.]

[Keep an eye on her for me. Send me a message if anything happens.]

Gu San wanted to say that this was not appropriate.

However, after some thought, he still replied: [Okay.]

Qiao Nian did not notice Gu San's movements. Coincidentally, she was almost done eating, so she put down her chopsticks and said to the three of them, "I'm full. I'll go upstairs first. You guys eat slowly."

"You're already full?" Qin Si had just sat back and was chatting with Gu San about Beijing.

Something had happened to the Wei Family recently.

Wei Lou had chased his aunt Wei Ying's lineage out of the family. Wei Ying's son-in-law, Shen Jingyan's promotion was affected.
