Chapter 3362: Sister Nian’s Going to Rao City, Immediately
Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Wangchuan gave her a meaningful look.
Qiao Nian met his eyes and knew the answer without him saying anything.
She placed the half-empty Coke bottle on the bar counter and went to the stairs. “I’m going to Rao City.”
Gu San looked at her back view as she went upstairs and then looked at Ye Wangchuan anxiously. “Master Wang, aren’t you going to stop Miss Qiao?”
“I won’t.”
Qiao Nian was worried about Aunt Chen and the rest. It was normal for her to want to go over and confirm Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen’s safety. He had no reason to stop her.
Moreover, the matter in Rao City had basically been settled.
The Zhou family wouldn’t be able to do anything.
If Qiao Nian wanted to go, he would go with her.
Ye Wangchuan retracted his gaze. Still as noble and lazy as usual, as if he could not even be bothered looking up, he instructed Gu San, “Book two tickets for the earliest flight to Rao City.”

At the Fu residence in Rao City.
Fu Ge had just returned home when he saw his mother beckoning him.
After a day of hard work, he was not in the mood to hear about blind dates. However, he endured it and walked over.
Before Mother Fu could speak, he beat her to it. “Mom, I had a meeting today and I’m exhausted. If it’s not important, I’ll go to my room and shower first.”
“Stop right there!”
How could Mother Fu not know what he was thinking? She looked at her son’s back view as he turned to go upstairs and explained, “I’m not going to ask you to go on a blind date.”
Fu Ge stopped and looked back at her, but he had no intention of walking back. He just stood there and waited for her to speak.
Mother Fu looked at his distant demeanor, and her heart tightened. “You’re still thinking about why you couldn’t stay in Beijing…”
Fu Ge graduated from a prestigious school and was favored by the heavens. He was the heir of the family and the one she valued the most.
Who knew that her youngest son, who she was most proud of, would end up like this? She had to admit it even if she didn’t want to.
Fu Ge’s current state had something to do with her.
If she had not despised Qiao Nian and insisted on tying the Fu family to Qiao Chen, the family wouldn’t have declined to this point.
In a small place like Rao City, they were almost reduced to an ordinary family.
“Sigh, you’re still blaming me.” Mother Fu’s eyes reddened and she rubbed them, her tone indescribably defeated and self-reproachful.
Fu Ge was already very tired. Seeing her expression, he felt even more tired and did not have the strength to comfort her. “I don’t blame you.”
He did not want Mother Fu to cry in front of him, so he changed the topic. “By the way, Mom. What did you want to say to me just now?”
Sure enough.
Mother Fu stopped crying as she recalled what she wanted to share with him and became excited. “It’s not a big deal.”
What?
“Today, Cai Gang personally went to the Food Administration to pick up someone and send him to the hospital.”
Mother Fu couldn’t hide her envy upon mentioning Cai Gang.
The Fu family had declined.
In the past two years, Cai Gang had become more and more stable in his post. He had become the number one person in Rao City.
“I thought it was odd. Just wanted to ask if you’d heard anything out there.”
“Me? What makes you think I know?”
Fu Ge’s eyes were lonely. He smiled and said directly, “That circle has always been tight-lipped. Even if there is news, it will only spread within the circle and not reach the ears of outsiders.”
He was talking about the circles of the big families in Rao City.
