Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

However, he had been nurtured by a prestigious family, so he was not stupid.

Lu Yiming rubbed the space between his eyebrows and smiled again. He looked at a café by the roadside not far away and gently asked, "Miss Qiao, can we talk in private?"

Qiao Nian's patience was basically exhausted. She looked at the time and said without looking up, "Just say it here."

Lu Yiming hesitated for a moment. Seeing the frustration in the girl's eyes, he knew that he did not seem to be welcome. He hesitated for a moment before glancing at the person in the car. He did not see Ye Wangchuan's face clearly.

Hence, he looked at Qiao Nian again and said cautiously, "I heard that Miss Qiao is making things difficult for the Gu family?"

Qiao Nian was patient with him on Lu Zhi's account. Unexpectedly, Lu Yiming questioned her about the Gu family.

Lu Yiming's voice was gentle and soothing as he said softly, "I don't know what grudges Miss Qiao has with the Gu family, but I hope Miss Qiao won't implicate them in personal grudges. After all, they're innocent."

"Are you done?" Qiao Nian looked up. Her eyes were emotionless.

Lu Yiming felt awkward. He hesitated for a moment before tactfully asking, "Miss Qiao, did you… did you make things difficult for the Gu family because of Ziyin?

"I know that you have some conflicts with Ziyin. Gu Hengbo is her teacher, and something unpleasant happened between the two of you.

"But you're Elder Feng's chosen successor now. Gu Hengbo was from the First Research Institute, after all. He's an elderly of the institute. I'm afraid you'll disappoint the 'old men' of the First Research Institute if you go after him. So, I hope you…"

Qiao Nian was not in the mood to listen to his long speech. She only asked him, "Who asked you to come?"

Suddenly interrupted, Lu Yiming awkwardly said, "Qiao Nian, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to persuade you."

"Persuade me to do what? To be kind?" Qiao Nian asked casually. "Didn't Lu Zhi tell you that I'm not swayed by persuasion?"

"I didn't mean that." Lu Yiming was getting more and more embarrassed.

Qiao Nian did not want to entertain him anymore. She turned around and opened the car's door.

Lu Yiming anxiously tried to stop her. "Qiao Nian."

Suddenly, the door on the other side opened. Ye Wangchuan got out of the car and grabbed his wrist. Then, he turned to the girl and said, "Get in."

"Mm."

Lu Yiming was Lu Zhi's biological brother, after all. Qiao Nian suppressed her anger and nodded. Then, she got in.

Lu Yiming saw the man's face clearly. "You…?"

He felt that Ye Wangchuan looked familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen him before.

After all, be it Lu Yiming or the Lu family, they were not really into Ji Lingfeng, Ye Wangchuan, and the big families' circle.

Lu Zhi was the only one from the Lu family on equal footing with these big bosses.

And he never represented the Lu family.

Ye Wangchuan closed the door for the girl before turning around and leaning against it. Then, he exuded a condescending aura. "It's not easy for Young Master Lu to find us, right? How did you find out about our schedule? Was it Ji Ziyin or the Gu family?"
