CIATB Chapter 157 Meeting!
Chapter 157 Meeting!
"What's up?"
The voice on the other end of the phone remained calm and indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Qin Xiao's heart inexplicably calmed down.
He organized his thoughts and conveyed his father's meaning in as tactful a way as possible.
"...Brother Yan, that's the situation."
"My dad was just being cautious, after all, that thing is too special."
"He just wants to see you, that's all!"
"Look..."
After he finished speaking, he held his breath, nervously waiting for the response from the other end of the phone.
Trial.
He was prepared to be scolded by Zhang Yan.
He had even given up hope of owning the "Cheng Ying" car he had always dreamed of.
however.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
This silence was more agonizing for Qin Xiao than any angry outburst.
Every second felt like an eternity.
Just as he was about to give up and was about to say something more,
Zhang Yan's voice finally rang out again.
There seemed to be a faint hint of laughter in that voice.
"understood."
Just three simple words.
Qin Xiao was stunned.
"what?"
I said, "I understand."
Zhang Yan repeated, "What time and where tomorrow?"
Qin Xiao's mind was a little confused.
So... just like that, you agreed?
No anger?
No questions were asked?
Not even the slightest displeasure?
This...this doesn't make sense!
If any other young master in Beijing's elite circles were given such an "ultimatum," they would probably have already flipped the table.
But Zhang Yan's reaction was as indifferent as if he were listening to a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.
"Yan...Brother Yan, you're not angry?"
He asked the question instinctively.
Why should I be angry?
Zhang Yan countered with a question.
"Your father's actions are perfectly normal."
"If it were me, I would have done the same."
His tone was matter-of-fact.
It was as if all of this was within his expectations.
Qin Xiao was completely convinced.
This man's heart and vision are wider than the sea!
He quickly told Zhang Yan the time and place for their meeting tomorrow.
"Okay, Brother Yan, I'll be waiting for you at the Qin family's old residence at 10 a.m. tomorrow!"
"Um."
Zhang Yan responded and then hung up the phone.
I listened to the cold busy tone coming from my phone.
Qin Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
He felt completely exhausted and collapsed onto the sofa.
We finally got through this hurdle.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but a relieved smile appeared on his face.
He knew that tomorrow his father would meet someone who would completely overturn his understanding of existence.
He was even starting to look forward to the shocked expression on his father's face.
……
the other side.
Zhang Yan put down his phone, his face showing no emotion.
He had long anticipated that things wouldn't go so smoothly.
Since "Obsidian" is called the highest-level strategic material.
How could Qin Xiao possibly obtain it so easily with just one phone call?
Qin Changfeng is the head of the Qin family and a powerful figure in the military.
His caution and probing were entirely reasonable.
Want to see yourself?
That's fine then.
A playful smile curved Zhang Yan's lips.
He wanted to see what kind of surprise this legendary military bigwig could bring him.
"Whose call was that?"
A soft, slightly languid voice came from behind.
Nie Xiaorou rubbed her eyes and sat up from the sofa.
She had fallen asleep without realizing it while leaning against the sofa waiting for Zhang Yan.
"Qin Xiao".
Zhang Yan said calmly.
"he?"
Nie Xiaorou instantly snapped out of her daze, her gossip-loving instincts blazing. "Did he come to beg you again?"
"Not really."
"What is that?"
"His dad wants to see me."
"what?"
Nie Xiaorou's mouth formed an "O" shape. "Uncle Qin wants to see you? Why?"
Qin Changfeng is a legendary figure.
She had only seen him once, from afar, at her grandfather's birthday banquet.
That imposing aura, even without anger, still haunts her to this day.
"It's nothing."
Zhang Yan patted her head. "It's nothing."
He stood up and glanced out the window at the already pitch-black night.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
"Oh……"
Nie Xiaorou obediently stood up.
Although she was filled with curiosity.
But she also knew what she should ask and what she shouldn't ask.
Her brother-in-law's world was not something she could easily access.
Zhang Yan took Nie Xiaorou back to the Nie family's old house.
As soon as I entered, I saw Nie Qingcheng standing at the door, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.
She wore a black silk robe that accentuated her breathtakingly perfect figure.
Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders.
Her usual queenly aura was gone, replaced by anticipation and longing for her lover.
Her eyes lit up instantly when she saw Zhang Yan.
"You're back?"
She stepped forward, naturally took Zhang Yan's arm, and rested her head on his shoulder.
That intimate, domineering manner made Nie Xiaorou roll her eyes silently.
"Sis, you don't need to be in such a hurry, do you?"
She muttered to herself, "What, do you think I'm going to eat my brother-in-law?"
Nie Qingcheng glanced at her but didn't say anything.
But the meaning in his eyes was quite clear.
—That's hard to say.
Did you have fun today?
Nie Qingcheng looked up at Zhang Yan and asked softly.
"good."
"So... have you encountered anything, anything that was just plain stupid?"
"no."
"That's good."
Nie Qingcheng nodded in satisfaction.
She paused, then, as if remembering something, asked.
"By the way, did Qin Xiao call you just now?"
Although she was having a meeting in the study, she was fully aware of Zhang Yan's movements.
"Um."
"What did he say?"
"His dad wants to see me."
Zhang Yan said calmly.
Nie Qingcheng's brows furrowed instantly.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but find her appearance somewhat amusing.
He reached out and pinched her cheek.
"Okay, I understand."
His voice was gentle yet powerful.
It seems to possess a peculiar, soothing magic.
The aura emanating from Nie Qingcheng vanished without a trace in an instant.
She transformed back into that docile kitten.
"So, what do you plan to do?"
She looked up at him, her eyes filled with dependence.
Zhang Yan looked at her and smiled.
"go."
"Let's meet."
