“Wow, a Rolls-Royce!”
Jiang Nai grabbed Nan Yan’s hand in surprise. “Sister, look, it’s a top-class luxury car!”
“Yeah,” Nan Yan replied with a faint smile. “Do you want to ride in it?”
“I do!” Jiang Nai nodded vigorously, then sighed. “But these are the kinds of cars only the rich can ride. I can only dream about it.” The little girl was quite aware of her own status.
Nan Yan ruffled her hair and said, “Let’s go, get in the car.” Jiang Nai widened her eyes in astonishment. “Ride in this car?”
“Yes.”
As they were talking, Qin Lu had already opened the door and stepped out of the car, walking briskly towards them.
Qin Lu glanced at Jiang Nai and furrowed his brows slightly, then shifted his gaze to Nan Yan’s face.
“Is this the little sister you picked up?”
Nan Yan nodded. “Yes, I’m lucky I arrived in time, or she might have been in danger.”
Jiang Nai blinked her eyes and asked, “Big brother, you look so handsome, are you the one who was on the phone with sister just now?”
Qin Lu wasn’t particularly fond of interacting with women, but since this little sister was brought home by Nan Yan, he didn’t want to be too distant. So, he tried to be as accommodating as possible and gave her a nod in response.
“Get in the car first.
Today, Wu Yue wasn’t around, so Qin Lu had personally driven here.
Nan Yan accompanied Jiang Nai in the back seat. This unexpected change made Qin Lu slightly annoyed.
In the car, Qin Lu didn’t say much. Most of the time, it was Jiang Nai talking with Nan Yan.
Listening to the two girls chatting so lively, Qin Lu felt a bit restless, being excluded from their conversation.
When they arrived at the old mansion, Qin Lu didn’t show any intention of getting out of the car.
“Big brother, won’t you come in and sit for a while?” Nan Yan asked.
Qin Lu lowered the car window and said in a low tone, “No, I have some matters to attend to. Get some rest and sleep early.”
“Okay, please take care on the way.”
After saying this, Nan Yan entered the old mansion with Jiang Nai.
Watching Nan Yan walk away without turning back, Qin Lu couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “This little heartless…
No matter how strong she was, she was still just a young girl.
Well, she needed to be pampered.
Qin Lu glanced at the lollipop he had forgotten to give her and rubbed his temple in resignation.
He’d give it to her tomorrow…
At this hour, Old Master An was still awake, sitting in the living room, sipping tea and chatting with An Xiran.
“Yanyan, you’re back!”
Seeing Nan Yan, Old Master An’s stern expression immediately softened, and he greeted her with a warm smile. Then, noticing Jiang Nai following her, he couldn’t help but ask, “Who’s this little girl?”
“Grandpa, Fourth Brother.”
Nan Yan nodded towards the two of them and introduced, “This is Jiang Nai,
Grandpa. I’d like her to stay here for a few days.”
Jiang Nai was a bit nervous but greeted them politely, “Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Big Brother.”
She looked cute and endearing, with clear and innocent eyes, easily gaining people’s favor. So, as soon as she expressed her desire to stay, the servants were called to prepare a guest room.
Of course, Old Master An readily agreed, but it was also because she was brought by Nan Yan. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy.
Nan Yan had the servants show Jiang Nai to her room and help her get familiar with her surroundings.
Out of sight of outsiders, An Xiran frowned and asked, “Yanyan, with such a big incident, why didn’t you tell Fourth Brother?”
He was referring to the incident where she injured Luo Ling.
An Xiran had become the sole shareholder and manager of AEG now, and there were a lot of things to handle. If it weren’t for the information he received from An Mulin, he might still be unaware of the incident.
“It’s not a big deal,” Nan Yan calmly replied. “Even if I had told Fourth Brother, you wouldn’t have been able to help.”
An Xiran was speechless.
A stab from his own sister.
Indeed, he couldn’t help.
An Xiran’s dispiritedness was written all over his face. He looked helpless.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan was silent for a moment before saying, “Fourth
Brother, with the Qin family’s help, you don’t have to worry.” An Xiran asked, “Is Qin Lu planning to help you resolve it?”
“Yes.”
She could handle it herself, but Qin Lu wouldn’t agree, and Grandpa wouldn’t be at ease either.
With free assistance available, Nan Yan felt more relaxed.
Seeing his younger sister act this way, An Xiran couldn’t help but feel a bit despondent. “Am I a failure, Yanyan?”
“No.” Nan Yan furrowed her brows, struggling to find the right words to comfort the seemingly hurt An Xiran.
After a moment of silence, she spoke with sincerity, “Fourth Brother, you’re already very helpful. ”
An Xiran’s expression brightened. “Really?”
Why did he sense a hint of pity in his little sister’s tone?
“Serves you right,” Old Master An chimed in with a smile.
“When I asked you to join the company back then, you refused and insisted on forming an esports team outside. Now you understand the importance of power and influence, don’t you?”
An Xiran’s expression was a little dispirited from the blow.
“Grandpa, it’s not wrong for Fourth Brother to pursue his dreams. It’s good that he’s like this.”
Nan Yan said calmly,” Some dreams, if not pursued when you’re young, you may never have another chance in the future.”
“Leaving behind a lifetime of regrets.”
An Xiran’s originally dispirited mood suddenly improved.
“Yanyan, you’re the best!”
It was his little sister who understood him!
“Yanyan is right.” Old Master An chuckled.
“Xiran, since you have the heart to develop in e-sports, then do your best. In time, you would still be able to make a name for himself.”
An Xiran replied with determination, “I will, Grandpa!”
Feeling that he couldn’t be of any help with the current situation, An Xiran finally relaxed. Since it was Qin Lu who had intervened, he could rest assured.
As it was getting late, he decided to stay for the night as well.
After treating Old Master An with acupuncture, Nan Yan went to check on Jiang Nai.
Having taken a bath, Jiang Nai was now in her pajamas, lying on the soft bed and rolling around.
When she saw Nan Yan entering, she quickly sat up as if she had done something wrong, ready to be scolded.
“Sister!”
Nan Yan sat down on the edge of the bed and patted the space beside her. “You don’t have to be so tense. Come, sit.”
Jiang Nai obediently sat down about a foot away from her, waiting for her to speak.
“Tomorrow, I’ll go with you to school and help you deal with those school bullies,” Nan Yan said.
Jiang Nails eyes glistened with gratitude. “Thank you, Sister!”
Nan Yan looked at Jianz Nail s fluffv head after her bath and couldn’t resist reaching out to touch it.
“I’ll help you as much as I can, but if we don’t address the root of the problem, my help tonight would have been meaningless.”
Feeling the soft and fluffy texture under her hand, Nan Yan felt like she was becoming just like Qin Lu, wanting to pat people’s heads.
Realizing this, she restrained herself from continuing and silently withdrew her hand.
This habit wasn’t good; she needed to change it!
Jiang Nai had no idea what Nan Yan was thinking. She was feeling overwhelmed with gratitude and joy.
Meeting her sister was truly a stroke of luck for her!
If she hadn’t been outside the private room at that exact moment, her life would have been ruined…
“Rest well tonight, and I’ll take you to school tomorrow.”
“Okay!”
After checking on Jiang Nai, Nan Yan returned to her own bedroom.
Sitting on the bed, she turned on her computer.
She had completed quite a few missions in the Dark Realm’s mission area, and her level had finally reached A rank.
This meant she could now take on higher-level missions with better rewards.
Earning points had also become easier.
Nan Yan glanced at her points and absentmindedly clicked on the A-rank mission board.
As soon as she entered, she saw a mission posting marked in red….
