1565 Sure, I Want One Billion
Qi Yan’s voice came from the other end of the phone. It was obvious that she was still a little calm. “… I apologize to you and Young Master Jiang on Lanyin’s behalf. I’m sorry.”
Qiao Nian took a sip of water, too lazy to reply.
Would it help to be sorry?
Or did Qi Yan think that her apology could erase the fact that Jiang Li was still lying in the hospital bed?
Qi Yan didn’t hear the girl’s response. Her face burned, and her breathing was heavy. She lowered her voice and said in humiliation, “In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to compensate Young Master Jiang for all his hospitalization expenses and losses. Miss Qiao, give me a number. I’ll get someone to transfer the money immediately.”
Qiao Nian slowly put down her cup. She pointed at her chin with a cold white hand, her eyelashes slightly lowered. “Do you want to compensate me?”
Did she seem short of money?
“It’s not remuneration. It’s just compensation for Young Master Jiang. This is also a token of my appreciation on Lanyin’s behalf.”
Qi Yan felt a little more confident and spoke much more smoothly. “I’m friends with your uncle and aunt, and I’m also your cousin’s godmother. Our families are considered relatives, after all. There’s no need for you to make things so tense. To be honest, the Jiang family doesn’t want you to blow things up to the point of being unable to clean up, right? Even Young Master Jiang himself doesn’t know that you made such a big deal out of standing up for him?”
Qiao Nian didn’t argue.
Jiang Li really didn’t know what she had done, and she didn’t want him to worry.
“Miss Qiao, I know you have a good relationship with Young Master Jiang, but before you do anything, you have to consider others!”
At this point, Qi Yan smiled and became more fluent. “Miss Qiao, you should have heard that there’s a spot in the Pharmacy Association to participate in the annual exchange in the independent continent.”
Qiao Nian remained silent.
She had always known about the annual exchange.
Every year an invitation was sent to her. Only, she never went.
Did Jiang Xianrou want to go to the independent continent?
A cold glint flashed across Qiao Nian’s eyes.
Did Jiang Xianrou know what the independent continent was? And she wanted to go there.
Did she think the independent continent was a good place?
Jiang Xianrou would probably be beaten up when she arrived there.
“The Qi family can help her get this spot in exchange…” Qi Yan did not finish her sentence.
Qiao Nian casually interrupted her. “Don’t you know that Jiang Xianrou is worthless to me?”
Qi Yan was speechless.
“I gave you a chance. Qi Lanyin did this alone. Every injustice has its perpetrator. I’ll look for her.” Qiao Nian’s tone was very calm.
Qi Yan felt as if someone was choking her. She could barely breathe. “Qiao Nian, what do I have to do for you to let Lanyin off?”
Qiao Nian pulled out a chair and sat down. She crossed her legs and supported her chin with her hand, as if she was seriously considering her question. Then, she replied casually, “Don’t you want to compensate me? Why don’t you give me a billion yuan first?”
Qi Yan was so angry that her head almost bled!
“How much did you say?”
“One billion.” Qiao Nian ‘thoughtfully’ confirmed it.
Qi Yan was trembling, not from fear, but purely from anger. “Miss Qiao, don’t force me. Where can I get a billion yuan for you!”
