Chapter 896: Sister Nian: Just a Friend
He sounded like he knew Qiao Nian very well!
They were by no means ordinary friends.
At least, Qiao Nian wasnt an ordinary person in Ji Nans eyes.
Jiang Zongnan and Old Master Jiang looked at each other in silence for a while.
Qiao Nian didnt reveal any emotions. It seemed that the person in front of her was just an ordinary person. She put her hand in her pocket, which was more casual than when she first talked to Old Man Jiang. With a sigh, she said, I appreciate your sincerity, theres no need for another gift.
She paused and then said, You told me on the phone that it was okay, so I asked you to come over for dinner. I wouldnt have asked you to come if I knew you were busy.
Ji Nan smiled again and said slowly, If I didnt know about this banquet, then we could have left it be. However, since I know of it, I have to come over no matter how busy I am!
Qiao Nian glanced at him with her dark eyes. Then, she retracted her gaze and said, Whatever you want.
She only called Ji Nan over when she received a call from Jiang Zongnan saying that no one was coming for the banquet. She flipped through her address book and realized that Ji Nan was also in Beijing, thus she invited him.
If she had known that Ye w.a.n.gchuan would call so many people, she might not have invited him.
However
Qiao Nian raised the corner of her mouth and pressed down on her cap. Ill remember what you did for me today!
Not far away, Ye w.a.n.gchuan had already come in.
As soon as he came in, he received a message from Bo Jingxing.
The message consisted of only one line.
[I saw Ji Nan. Why is he here? Did you invite him?]
Ji Nan
He squinted his eyes and put the cell phone back into his pocket. He remembered that the person the girl was calling in the car was called Ji Nan.
At that time, he thought that the person merely shared the same name.
Looking at Bo Jingxings message, he realized that the Ji Nan he was thinking of and the Ji Nan from the message was the same person. He was an influential person in the stock market, known as the Stock Market Buffett.
He was very young.
The Ji family also had a position in the illegal areas.
Qiao Nian and Ji Nan knew each other?
He didnt stop walking. He found the person he was looking for in the crowd at a glance and walked over.
Ji Nan had already left, and Qiao Nian was led away by Old Master Jiang. He wanted to introduce her to another group of people.
She just found a seat and sat down irritably.
A voice fell from over her head, and the chair next to her was pulled aside. Someone saw Ji Nan here. Do you know him?
Old Master Jiang had asked the same question, but she had replied to him vaguely.
However, she didnt hide anything from Ye w.a.n.gchuan. Yes, hes a friend.
Someone from the Red Alliance? Ye w.a.n.gchuan poured a gla.s.s of water and put it in front of her.
Qiao Nian was just feeling thirsty. She picked it up, took a sip, and spoke slowly. No, hes just a friend.
She happened to be playing with some stocks, and Ji Nan was also playing with stocks. They got to know each other after a while.
However, they seldom met each other in real life.
This was their second time meeting face to face.
They werent very familiar with each other, but they were also not strangers. They could be considered close enough for him to come over for a meal.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan narrowed his eyes when he heard that he was not from the Red Alliance. His eyes grew deeper, but he didnt question her anymore.
There were many more things he wanted to ask.
For example, except for the relations.h.i.+p within the illegal zone, he couldnt think of any common interaction between the two of them.
One of them was a hacker while the other one was playing with stocks.
Unless Ji Nan had looked for Qiao Nian to secretly manipulate the stocks behind the scenes, he really could not imagine any possible connection between the two of them.
Although the Red Alliance was operating in the illegal area and was a force to be reckoned with, it had never done any illegal businesses. Qiao Nian would also not help Ji Nan do anything illegal.
