Chapter 3485: Sister Nian: Then Let’s Decide On This First
Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Nian didn’t buy it. “Since there’s no better way, it’s decided.”
Veins bulged on Ji Nan’s forehead.
He clenched his fists and was about to say something when the girl picked up her bag, walked over, and patted his shoulder. “Let’s go.”
Not waiting for his reaction, Qiao Nian turned to Xie Yun and said, “Auntie Xie, I still have something on. I’ll leave first.”
Xie Yun looked at her son, then at the unmoved Qiao Nian. Her eyebrows twitched, and she nodded lovingly.
The girl left Ji Nan’s apartment without hesitation.

Ji Nan walked to the sofa in frustration and sat down. He buried his head in his knees and scratched his hair forcefully.
.
His neatly trimmed short hair was fluffy and messy from his actions. The usually refined and handsome Young Master Ji looked up, his eyes faintly bloodshot as he stared fixedly at his Mom.
“Mom, why didn’t you persuade her?”
“You tried to persuade her. Did it work?”
Xie Yun rolled her eyes at him.
However, he was still her biological son. She knew Ji Nan was venting his anger, so she tolerated it. Bending down and grabbing her bag, she glanced at Ji Nan, sitting on the sofa scratching his head and cheeks. “It’s very difficult to change Nian Nian’s mind. Instead of thinking about how to convince her, why don’t you think about ensuring her safety?”
“Mom, you mean…” Ji Nan gradually calmed down and glanced at her.
Why did she give birth to a stupid boy!
Xie Yun walked over and flicked his forehead. Seeing him frown in pain, she retracted her hand in satisfaction and looked down at him. “Does Nian Nian representing the Ji family in the game this time solve the urgent needs of those old men?”
“…Yes.”
Seeing that he wasn’t too stupid, Xie Yun nodded and continued, “Nian Nian is going to resolve their urgent needs. Don’t you know how to use this as a condition to get those old men to show some ‘sincerity’?”
Silence.
Ji Nan wasn’t stupid. He had already started to think along this line of thought.
Xie Yun briefly explained the workings to him.
“This isn’t the first time those old men are participating in this activity. The independent continent will hold a treasure hunt event every two years. They know more tricks than you!”
Ji Nan understood. “You want me to use Nian Nian’s willingness to represent the Ji family in the treasure hunt to speak terms?”
Xie Yun smiled and did not say anything. She just looked at him quietly.
“What you have to do is not to wallow in self-pity here, but to protect your sister as your father expects. Nian Nian has already done a lot for us. If we can’t even do anything for her, why are you still talking about being a family and wishing her well?”
Xie Yun’s voice was calm. There was no criticism or resentment.
She just wanted to reason with him calmly.
“Ji Nan, I don’t blame you for refusing to participate in the family’s business back then.”
“You were young and weren’t interested in family matters. That’s why I allowed you to pursue your hobbies. After all, life is short. Mom will be happy if you can find something you love!”
Xie Yun’s tone suddenly changed. “But it’s different now. You’ve also seen the family’s chaotic situation. Ever since your father vomited blood and fainted, no one among the family’s underlings submitted to you. Those elders even relied on their qualifications to not take you seriously… You can ignore all of this, but you’re an adult. Through these few days, you should be able to tell that just because you gave in doesn’t mean that others will let you off.
