Chapter 588: Wei Ling Really Wanted to Slap Qiao Chen

Qiao Nian looked up at him and her features softened. She seemed to be getting used to the way they interacted and was no longer as resistant to him as if he was an outsider. She shook her head and said, "No need, there are many flights to Beijing from Rao City, I'll get it myself."

She paused for a while before saying, "He might've bought it for me already. We'll see."

In order to purchase someone else's flight tickets, one needed their full name and ident.i.ty card number. Ye w.a.n.gchuan had no idea how close this 'friend' was to her that he would even know her identification card number. He squinted a little threateningly but said gently, "If you need help, just let me know. Gu San is familiar with this, he sometimes manages to get tickets for even the sold-out flights."

Qiao Nian thought about the last time she and Liang Bowen returned from Beijing. This was exactly what had happenedthere were no longer any seats in the first-cla.s.s cabin, but he had managed to change her economy seat ticket to a first-cla.s.s one. She had only found out that he'd done this privately when she got the ticket.

Qiao Nian felt her heart go warm and fuzzy. She cut the civilities and said rather naturally, "Okay, I'll let you know if I can't get it."

Ye w.a.n.gchuan looked at how she no longer seemed guarded against him and couldn't help but smile. He didn't say a word.

The car drove on quietly.

The atmosphere in the Qiao Family was exceptionally heavy now.

Wei Ling pulled a long face as she sat on the couch quietly.

With her not talking, Qiao Weimin and Shen Qiongzhi dared not say a word, either. After all, it was really Qiao Chen who made a grave mistake out of selfishness this time. It was their fault that Wei Family's brother was going to be reported on the news. What made things worse was that Qiao Chen would require Wei Ling's help for her development in Beijing in the future.

Shen Qiongzhi had always made impulsive comments without much thought, just because she was the elder sister-in-law. But even she was quiet now.

Meanwhile, it was Shen Jingyan who adjusted his collar and spoke up first to the lady on the couch. "Alright, what's happened has happened. There's no point in you being angry now. That Ye fellow doesn't want to give us the face, and we can't possibly go to Old Master Ye for help again. We can only accept it."

He said to "accept it" like it was an easy matter. But Wei Ling felt the fury in her heart rise with no outlet to vent.

If it was some outsider who implicated her brother, she wouldn't possibly let it go.

But Qiao Chen was Shen Jingyan's biological niece. Could she really hold onto grudges for long!

But her brother was in a terrible state as it was. He was already in the juvenile center initially. Now, because of Qiao Chen's mess, he not only had to be incarcerated for three years, he even had to be on the news.

In a social circle like theirs, how was Wei Qi ever going to regain his pride and dignity in the future?!

She wanted to strangle Qiao Chen and give her two tight slaps.

Wei Ling was heaving angrily, her expression awful.

"Don't be too angry now. At least the Ye fellow only said he'd get Cai Gang to do what was needed, he did not say how long Wei Qi would be in there for."

Shen Jingyan had been her husband for so many years now, he knew what she was thinking. He was also furious with what Qiao Chen had done, but as he said, there was no going back. They could only accept it and move forward.

"He still isn't making things too ugly for now. Don't think too much about the news, most people don't follow this sort of social affairs. As for the social media news, I'll get someone to mask it and make sure it won't circulate too much. There won't be many people knowing about Wei Qi."
