Chapter 399: Here For Who
Jiang Yuran knew it wasn’t going to end well right after he blurted those words out, and when he heard what Li Weiyun said, he almost died of regret.
He wasn’t Qiao Yanjue, who didn’t know what Li Weiyun intended.
As a friend of theirs, he could see things very clearly.
If this was before, he would help her by steering the conversation in the way she wanted, although it never helped at all.
However, Qiao Yanjue had someone he liked now. If Li Weiyun came to visit, things might get ugly.
“Hmm... I’m going back in a few days’ time. Let’s meet up when I’m back.”
After a moment of silence on the other end, Li Weiyun replied, “You aren’t welcoming me?”
“How can I not!” Jiang Yuran denied it immediately. “It’s just that City G isn’t my place. I don’t know any entertaining places here, so we might as well meet when I’m back at the capital.”
“Is that so?” Li Weiyun laughed, “It’s alright, I have an acquaintance in City G. I’ll ask her to show us around when I’m there.”
Now that Li Weiyun had made up her mind, what more could Jiang Yuran say in response? He had no choice but to nod along, “Alright then, let’s have fun together.”
“Yea, ask the rest of the squad to join too. We haven’t met for quite a while.”
“Okay.”
“By the way, I heard that Brother Liran hasn’t been well. I know a pretty great doctor here. Do you need my recommendation?”
“A doctor?” It sparked Jiang Yuran’s interest for a second, but he turned it down as he thought of what Xia Xibei had said. “No need for now. I happen to know a doctor here too. I’ll see how that turns out first.”
“Alright then. Just tell me if you need it.”
“Sure.”
Jiang Yuran still looked awkward, even after the call ended.
He was hesitating over whether he should tell Qiao Yanjue about it.
Now that Li Weiyun was going to come meet them, things might get a bit out of hand.
Besides, everybody knew who she was coming here for.
Jiang Yuran had heard that the Li family wanted to unite its power with the Qiao family through marriage.
Sure enough, no exact names were mentioned, but the only members of the Qiao family of a suitable age who weren’t married by now were none other than Qiao Yanjue and Qiao Haoming, who were in their twenties.
The rest were far too young.
As for the Li family, Li Weiyun and her twin brother Li Feiyun were the only ones whose ages were compatible.
Qiao Haoming already had a fiancée, so Qiao Yanjue was the only one left to consider.
There was no way Qiao Yanjue would be matched with Li Feiyun, who was a man. Therefore, only Li Weiyun was left.
In fact, everyone knew that Li Weiyun liked Qiao Yanjue. It was an open secret.
However, everyone also knew for a fact that Qiao Yanjue didn’t like her.
Qiao Yanjue’s status was different, after all. His parents doted on him a lot. They wouldn’t force him to do anything that he didn’t want to. Thus, they had declined the Li family’s proposal.
However, it seemed like Li Weiyun hadn’t given up on him after all!
Jiang Yuran couldn’t help but shake his head as he thought of the complicated relations involved.
He was glad that it wasn’t something that he had to deal with.
On the other end, Li Weiyun’s expression was ice-cold as she hung up the call.
After staying quiet for some time, she dialed a number.
Very soon, a surprised voice came through from the other end.
“Sister Weiyun?”
“It’s me,” Li Weiyun spoke in a cheerful voice. “Qinghan, you’re in City G now, right?”
“Yes! I study here!” Xia Qinghan was shocked and surprised at the same time. She hadn’t expected Li Weiyun to call her.
After all, the two of them weren’t close. Although they had each other’s contact number, they rarely hung out together.
The Li family was far more powerful than the Xia family, so she dared not disturb Li Weiyun on normal occasions.
“Then you must be familiar with City G, right?”
“That’s for sure!” Despite her puzzlement, she nodded right away.
“Perfect!” Li Weiyun’s smile widened, “Recommend some interesting places for me to visit, please.”
“Are you coming to City G, Sister Weiyun?” Xia Qinghan was even more surprised.
