Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again



"If it's not convenient for you, I'll get someone to pick you up." It sounded very considerate, but there was a strong sense of superiority in his tone, making one feel disgusted.

Qiao Nian smiled and hid the coldness in her eyes, then said lightly, "Alright, I'll be there in an hour."

After hanging up, she decided not to think about the message from Slim Waist Control for now. She went into the bathroom to take a cold shower, changed into a loose and comfortable long sweater, and walked downstairs in a pair of canvas shoes. After informing Ye Wangchuan, she took her shoulder bag and left.

He Lin came with him this time.

He booked a private room and the entire cafeteria on the first floor of the Intercontinental Hotel. No irrelevant people were allowed to enter.

The Ji family's status in the Independent Continent was extraordinary.

Although their actions were arrogant and despotic, the people here were used to their ostentatious and domineering style. Upon learning from the people in the cafeteria that the Ji family had booked the entire venue, no matter how uncomfortable they were, no one dared to challenge them.

Ji Hongyuan was already there waiting for her when Qiao Nian arrived.

The old man was wearing rough linen clothes and looked extraordinary. However, the tea set and plates in front of him were all exquisite and rare.

Qiao Nian looked at the tea set, then at the old man's white beard and hair. He looked like an otherworldly expert. She couldn't help but smile.

"Hello, Miss Qiao. I'm He Lin." He Lin greeted her at the door. Seeing the girl coming over, he hurriedly introduced himself to her, then mentioned it again. "I contacted you previously by text."

Qiao Nian pulled down the brim of her baseball cap. Expressionless, she nodded and understood.

He Lin felt a little awkward, but he had seen this young lady's coldness before. He was no longer surprised.

After all, he had experienced more than one setback in the past. Qiao Nian was very cold to him, so he wasn't too surprised.

He Lin restrained his awkward expression and led the way politely. "Please follow me."

Qiao Nian followed him with her hands in her pockets.

After a while, the two of them walked to the window.

He Lin's expression turned serious as he reported respectfully to the old man, "Sixth Hall Master, Young Miss has arrived."

Holding the teacup, the old man looked up and glanced at the girl. He said very calmly, "Sit."

Qiao Nian pulled out a chair and didn't waste any time with him. The first thing she said when she sat down was, "Why are you looking for me?"

Ji Hongyuan had not expected her to be willing to come, and he, even more, didn't expect her attitude to be the same.

He thought that Qiao Nian was willing to come because she wanted to acknowledge her ancestors and return to the Ji family.

But based on Qiao Nian's attitude… she didn't seem to have that intention.

He pondered for a moment but did not show it on his face. "I heard that the results have been released. Have you been assigned to the Level 3 laboratory?"

"Isn't that so?" Qiao Nian took a glass for herself and poured herself a glass of plain water. Her eyes were casual and a little bandit-like.

This was the first time Ji Hongyuan had seen someone with such an aura at such an age. She looked like a wolf cub. It was obvious that she was not the kind of person who was easy to manipulate. She was born rebellious, surly, and difficult to provoke.

He frowned, a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes. However, the Ji family needed a capable direct descendant, and Qiao Nian was talented in black gunpowder. She had even successfully entered the research institute. He still said patiently, "You shouldn't just be at Level 3 based on your results."
