บท 4: Two Million Yuan
บรรณาธิการ: Atlas Studios
Qiao Nian evaded his hand and did not seem to want his help with her bags. She kept a step behind him as they headed to the car and responded, "I don't mind."
Jiang Li looked at his empty hands and then at his young cousin. He seemed a little confused.
How had she evaded him? He hadn't seen it clearly.
Jiang Li didn't think too much about it and opened the door to the backseat for her.
"It's warm outside, get in first."
Qiao Nian had no idea what her biological parents looked like and who they were. She simply put her information up on a website for parents to look for their lost children. It didn't take long for someone to contact her.
Qiao Weimin did the rest after she was contacted. Qiao Chen had even "accidentally" revealed to her that her parents were teachers from Luohe County.
Qiao Nian looked up at the sky and then kept her gaze.
She knew this car model. Tang Jin had told her that the car itself cost two million yuan.
This car even had a sky roof and would cost at least 3.8 million yuan.
Qiao Nian raised her brow. The car that Qiao Weimin got two years back was just five million yuan. Just who was this grandfather she had in Luohe County?
The cool air hit her the moment she entered the car, and she saw the "friend" who was joining them for a meal later.
The man seemed to be in his early 20s and appeared a little cold. There was no brand logo on his shirt, but the workmanship was fantastic; the shirt fit him perfectly. The gold buttons reflected the sunlight beautifully, and there didn't seem to be a single wrinkle on his top. He looked like someone difficult to get along with.
But there were several beaded bracelets around his wrist, bringing about a faint scent of sandalwood in the car.
He was a strong Buddhist?
Jiang Li introduced him to her. "Nian Nian, he's my friend Ye Wangchuan. You can call him Brother Ye."
Qiao Nian glanced at him again.
The car had huge leg room, but this man's long legs seemed to be in an awkward position.
Qiao Nian felt his gaze on her and greeted him "Brother Ye" with her head down.
Ye Wangchuan seemed surprised to hear how meekly she greeted him.
He looked at the girl sitting by his side. Her skin was so, so fair.
When she looked up again and peered out the car window, he could see her beautiful lashes curled upwards. She was such a sweet little girl!
…
Jiang Li found a topic to engage her with every now and then, for fear that she'd feel awkward in the car.
He also tried to introduce her family background to her.
Only the man sitting right beside her kept silent the whole time.
But he was like a resting lion. Quiet as he was, his presence was impossible to ignore.
They arrived at their destination pretty soon.
Waterside Loft was situated in the city center on prime land.
It was in the busiest area possible but had a great view of the greenery as well. Waterside Loft provided some quiet in the otherwise busy environment. Hence, it was a popular choice.
"I'll park the car."
Jiang Li stopped the car at the entrance and said to the man behind, "Master Wang, I've booked the private room. You can take Nian Nian there first, I'll go over once I've parked the car."
Qiao Nian finally heard the man beside her speak. "Let's go."
บท 5: The Truly Wealthy

Qiao Nian thought about it and then followed behind him.
Waterside Loft was huge, but that man seemed very familiar with the place. He had long legs, but she kept pace with him.
Her head was hurting a little as she grabbed her bag.
She set out to look for her biological parents just to find out who they were. But now it seemed like she had fallen into some deep trouble.
"Qiao Nian?"
She was busy catching up with the man when she heard a familiar and shocked voice.
She looked up and saw a group of people standing in the dim area.
Qiao Weimin, Mother Qiao, Qiao Chen, and Old Madam Qiao were all standing around there.
Besides the Qiao family, Fu Ge and Madam Fu were around too. There two other women by the side in traditional outfits and the younger one had her arm hooked around the older one. The older woman had a head of white hair and a jade-beaded necklace. Her red dress emphasized her elegance and class. She was now turning to talk to the people around her, seemingly asking who Qiao Nian was.
The Qiao family members had interesting expressions upon seeing Qiao Nian.
"What are you doing here?" Qiao Weimin approached her in quick strides. His voice was low, but there was a hint of frustration in it.
When Qiao Nian rejected his money, he still felt that she had an admirable character. Who knew that she actually followed them all the way here!
Qiao Chen was going to formally be an apprentice to a master. The Fu family members were there to witness it as well. Qiao Weimin didn't want her to make things ugly later on, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Nian Nian, your mom and grandma and I didn't chase you out. It was you who chose to put your information online in search of your biological parents. Now that you've found them, why are you here to cause trouble again?"
He'd thought that Qiao Nian overheard their appointment at Waterside Loft and decided to come along as well.
He didn't see Ye Wangchuan when he took his wallet out and asked, "Did you think it through and decide that you still want the ten thousand yuan?"
He looked for the bank card in his wallet, all ready to hand it to her.
Qiao Nian looked at how impatient he looked and was about to say something.
But before she said a word, a hand reached across her and slipped the bank card back into Qiao Weimin's wallet. The man's hand then grabbed hers and he said, "Let's go, Grandpa Ye is waiting for you."
Qiao Nian was stunned for a moment. Anyone who knew her would know that she hated others touching her. The last time someone did that, she beat that person up and caused him to lie in hospital for three whole months.
She could feel his warm palm on her hand and was hyper-aware of the sweat from his touch. She looked up at him.
Did he really need to touch her!
Qiao Nian thought of shaking him off but chose to swallow her words when she realized that the Qiao family was still watching.
She couldn't even be bothered to look at Qiao Weimin again.
She simply went "Mm" and, under the watchful eyes of the Qiaos, headed into the private room with him.
The Qiaos were in shock.
Waterside Loft was different from other restaurants; it was way more popular and difficult to get a table here. They had had to pull strings in order to get a reservation for tonight, and all they got was an ordinary cubicle. The one that Qiao Nian and the young man went into was a private room.
That said enough about their difference in status!
