Not knowing his father despised him, Wei Lou stopped walking and turned back. “Why did you bring Qiao Nian here?”
Wei Mingxuan looked at him with a straight face. “Do I have to explain myself to you?”
Wei Lou said angrily, “That’s not what I meant.”
Qiao Nian saw many familiar faces. After greeting everyone, she saw that Ye Wangchuan was also there and walked over with raised eyebrows.
“Gu San said you went to the Ninth Branch?”
Ye Wangchuan was not surprised to see her. “It’s about the Ninth Branch.”
“Oh.”
Qiao Nian had already guessed it.
As they were speaking, Ye Maoshan could not help but ask Qiao Nian, “Nian Nian, you know about this?”
This happened quite suddenly. Did the Young brat tell Qiao Nian about it early in the morning?
Ye Maoshan glanced at the lazy man with uncertainty and could not make up his mind.
Qiao Nian looked away from Ye Wangchuan and faced the Old Master’s question. She said seriously, “No, I don’t know.”
She paused and looked at Wei Mingxuan. “Uncle Wei asked me to come.”
Wei Mingxuan nodded at her kindly and admitted to Old Master Ye, “I called Miss Qiao over. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have time to tell her about it.”
Qiao Nian had one hand in her pocket and wanted to pull down her baseball cap. However, she felt that it was not appropriate with so many elders around, so she did not make a move. She asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “What happened at the Ninth Branch?”
Ye Maoshan thought that, since she was already here, and they were family, he told her about the notification he had received in the morning.
Strictly speaking, it was not a big deal. A large-scale weapons exhibition invited the Ninth Branch to participate in it. They specified the new project developed by the Ninth Branch—Tsar.
The weapons exhibition was led by Continent M. The invitation letter sent to the Ninth Branch was quite rude. The subtext was that they could choose not to participate if they were afraid…
The other party was clearly provoking them, but Old Master Ye, Master Cheng, and the others still wanted to reject them because they were afraid the other party would play tricks.
Qiao Nian quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter. Under everyone’s gaze, she slowly raised her hand and covered the brim of her cap. “Why should we hide? Hiding will only make them think we’re afraid. The more afraid we are, the more they will not let go. We can only hit them back hard! Once they know pain, they will use their brains before they speak next time.”
Ye Maoshan’s tightly knitted brows slowly relaxed and he smiled. “You little girl…”
He turned to look at a certain someone. “Someone said something similar to you just now. He had the same intentions.”
When Qiao Nian heard him say that there was someone, and since he was looking at the spot beside her, she knew who that ‘someone’ was.
She could feel that the gaze on her had gradually turned from serious to gossipy and teasing. She rubbed the space between her eyebrows.
However, in the face of serious matters, Qiao Nian was still more serious. She met Old Master Ye’s gaze and paused before saying, “I know who started this.”
“You know?” Ye Maoshan was surprised.
Qiao Nian’s expression was cold and solemn. Her gaze was sharp, and she sounded a little frustrated. “I know. She’s probably prepared for a long time for this. She won’t give up easily.”
Nie Qingru had been lying dormant for so long and had not made a move even once.
This time, she wanted to force Master Cheng and the Ninth Branch to participate in the weapons exhibition in the name of Continent M. How could she let them go so easily?
