1998 This Time, It’s an Official Breakup With the Ji Family Ji Hongyuan did not expect Qiao Nian to not give him face. He couldn’t breathe as his blood rushed to his head. His old face turned red and he almost fainted from anger. Initially, he could not bring himself to beg the girl for mercy because of his status. He simply tacitly agreed that He Lin would intercede on his behalf. Thinking that he was an elder, after all, Qiao Nian should be tactful and not dare to completely offend the Ji family. But from the looks of it, how could it be that she did not dare to offend them? She probably wanted to completely fall out with the Ji family! Ji Hongyuan’s expression darkened when he understood this. He suddenly waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll give you the secret recipe! I’ll get someone to send it to the First Research Institute!” He Lin’s expression changed greatly. This was the Ji family’s secret black gunpowder formula. How could he give it away just like that… He opened his mouth, but he didn’t have time to save the situation. Ji Hongyuan said coldly, “He Lin, let’s go!” Then, he turned around and left. Anyone could tell that his back view was filled with thunderous anger! He Lin was in a dilemma. He looked here and there. In the end, he bid farewell to Qiao Nian and hurriedly followed. After the two of them walked away. Nan Tianyi took a deep breath and said to the girl with a solemn expression, “Qiao Nian, you’ve really offended him this time. “Ji Hongyuan is famous for being irritable and calculative. Now that you’ve offended him, your future in the Independent Continent will probably be difficult.” He only said this out of concern. Otherwise, he would not have said anything. Qiao Nian turned around disapprovingly and replied casually, “It doesn’t matter. Even if I don’t offend him, he won’t let me off easily. In that case, let’s fall out with each other so that we won’t have to greet each other in the future.” Ji Hongyuan came to the underground auction house today and asked He Lin to deliver them tea. He even fought with her for the meat Ganoderma… From his actions, he did not seem to want to get along well with her. Since Ji Hongyuan wanted to take her down a notch, it just so happened that she also wanted to make an example of him to those restless people in the Ji family. She did this in case they came looking for her every once in a while and threatened her with the safety of the people around her. This time, it could be considered that she had officially broken up with the Ji family! * * * Ji Hongyuan left. The meat Ganoderma naturally fell into Qiao Nian’s hands. Next were the trivial matters that Nan Tianyi had to deal with. Qiao Nian did not want to cause unnecessary trouble, so she did not stay at the underground auction house and left with Ye Wangchuan and the others. Before leaving, she even took out her black card to pay for the meat Ganoderma. However, Ye Wangchuan had already paid for it. Qiao Nian put the card back into her bag and did not say anything. As for the pink diamond, according to the rules, it belonged to her because she had gotten it from stone gambling. Qiao Nian threw the black card into her backpack and zipped it up. Then, she called Qin Si and told Nan Tianyi that she was leaving. As Nan Tianyi still had a lot of admin work to settle, he did not ask them to stay. Soon, Qiao Nian followed Ye Wangchuan and Qin Si out of the underground auction house to the parking lot of the Intercontinental Hotel. The three of them walked to a black Land Rover. Qin Si ran to sit in the back row. Ye Wangchuan opened the door and said to her, “Shall we go back?”
