1654 So What If I Turn the Sky Upside Down!
She did not come to look for Wei Ying today to get the inside story from her. She knew that Wei Ying would definitely not say anything.
She was just here to confirm it!
Qiao Nian’s eyes darkened, and the corners of her lips curled up. Her hostility was quite strong. Looking at the silent person, she was basically certain that Wei Ying had something to do with her mother’s death.
At the very least, she was involved.
As for how much insider information there was, she would only find out when she went to the Independent Continent to meet the Ji family.
“Alright, I know the answer.” Qiao Nian had achieved her goal of coming here. Not wasting her breath on Wei Ying and the others, she retracted her gaze casually and said in a low voice, “I’ll investigate the connection and the meaning of what they said in this recording.”
Wei Ying watched as she was about to leave.
Anxious and flustered, and unable to hold it in anymore, she called out to her in a heavier tone, “Qiao Nian, are you trying to turn the sky upside down?!”
The girl didn’t even look back. She only stopped in her tracks and spoke disdainfully and arrogantly. “Pfft, so what if I turn the sky upside down!”
She wanted to see how powerful the Independent Continent was.
The Ji family of the Independent Continent could not be provoked.
She wanted to flip over the ‘sky’ that they thought could cover things up and see what secrets were hidden!
The girl walked away without looking back.
Wei Ying’s face was pale as she stood rooted to the ground. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was burning with anxiety.
“Mom, what’s going on? Ji Qing? I remember that this is Nian Nian’s biological mother? What’s up with her? Do you know her?”
There was no family with the surname Ji in the capital, and he had never heard of a Ji Qing.
However, from his mother-in-law’s reaction, it seemed that this Ji Qing’s background was extraordinary. At the very least, not any small family could evoke such a reaction from her.
But the Ji family?
Was there such a family in Beijing?
Shen Jingyan felt a headache coming on. “You and Nian Nian—”
“Don’t listen to her nonsense. She can’t find anything!” Wei Ying was still immersed in her own thoughts, and she spoke quickly and anxiously. Her tone was heavy, and her eyelids twitched. “What kind of place does she think the Independent—”
Halfway through her sentence, she realized that she had almost let it slip.
She swallowed her words and shut up.
What she wanted to say was: What kind of place does Qiao Nian think the Independent Continent is? Does she think anyone can go and investigate as she pleases? Qiao Nian doesn’t even have the right to go to the Independent Continent! How can she investigate Ji Qing, the Ji family, and the things she was involved in in the past?!
“Independent… what?” Shen Jingyan waited for a long time, but she didn’t continue. He couldn’t help but ask her again.
However, Wei Ying’s face was cold and she was unwilling to say anything more. “It’s nothing. I’m just saying that she’s so young. She’ll suffer a huge loss one day if she continues to be so arrogant!”
Shen Jingyan didn’t comment on her words. He looked in the direction the girl had left and couldn’t come back to his senses for a long time.
He had thought of this before and even said something similar to Wei Ying.
In the end, reality slapped him hard a few times.
Qiao Chen was ruined.
The Qiao family was ruined too.
Even Qiao Chen whom he chose back then was now stuck in Beijing!
Would he still be like this now if he had chosen Qiao Nian back then?
Shen Jingyan’s mind raced. He had asked himself this question countless times. Every time he thought of this, he regretted it dearly. He wished there was a cure for regret in the world.
Otherwise, he would have been like Wei Lou or Yuan Yongqin.
He wouldn’t be standing on Wei Ying’s broken ship that was about to collapse and sink with her.
