2343 The Chamber of Commerce Alliance’s Attitude...

Qiao Nian looked at the food piled up in her bowl and rubbed her eyebrows. She then looked up and said, "Do you think I'm a rice monster?"

Ye Wangchuan raised his eyebrows with curled lips. Then, he gracefully handed her a plate of preserved fruits. "Don't worry, I won't despise you."

Before Qiao Nian could speak, seeing that the two of them were talking about something, Ye Lan seemed to have remembered something. She called the waiter and asked the girl loudly, "Nian Nian, do you want porridge?"

Ye Wangchuan looked at her.

Qiao Nian was silent. In the face of Ye Lan's enthusiasm, she pursed her lips and slowly picked up her chopsticks. Coughing, she said, "Aunt Ye, I'm almost done eating. I don't want porridge."

Ye Lan asked the waiter to bring a bowl of silver fungus soup. She even said to the girl with a smile, "Alright, we won't eat too much tonight. I'll order you some silver fungus soup. Drink it to nourish your stomach."

Qiao Nian's temples twitched. Under Ye Lan's expectant gaze, she slowly picked up her chopsticks. "Thank you, Aunt Ye."

Qiao Nian had a headache as she agonized over how to eat the silver fungus soup.

At this moment, Ye Wangchuan snatched the bowl and calmly said to his aunt, "I happen to want to eat silver fungus."

Ye Lan glared at him. "Can't you order it yourself?"

Ye Wangchuan, on the other hand, lazily said, "Oh, I'm used to freeloading."

Ye Lan was choked by his words and could not find anything to say to him for a long time.

Some time passed.

Soon, half an hour passed.

Ye Shan looked at the time on her watch and revealed an 'I knew it' expression. She was about to remind everyone that half an hour had passed.

"It seems to be time. The person you're talking about…"

Before she could finish speaking, someone knocked on the door of the private room.

Ye Keji's eyelids twitched, and he instinctively looked in Qiao Nian's direction. He saw no anxiety on the girl's face. Instead, she was calm. He had some idea now.

Hence, he said to the person outside, "Come in."

"I'm sorry to disturb you." The person was very polite.

It was not until Ye Keji spoke that he opened the door and politely entered.

Ye Keji was already a little surprised when he heard the person's voice.

Soon, he saw the man after he entered.

The man was in his forties. He had blond hair and blue eyes and looked very gentle. He was clothed in a dark green suit. It was obvious that he had rushed over from a formal occasion and did not even have time to change out of his clothes.

Not only did Ye Keji know this person, but Ye Shan also knew him.

Shocked, she had already stood up from her seat and cried out, "President Simon?"

Simon looked around the private room. His gaze only paused on Ye Wangchuan for a moment, as if he was a little suspicious.

However, he did not have time to think too much about it. Soon, his gaze landed on the girl.

"Miss Qiao." Simon completely ignored Ye Keji and Ye Shan and quickly walked towards the girl. He greeted her solicitously and then asked, "Miss Qiao, why didn't you tell me you had time? If I had known that you were coming to the Intercontinental to eat, I'd have sent someone to arrange it."

He did not even seem to notice Old Master Ye and Ye Lan. He only looked at the others before turning to say to the girl, "Miss Qiao, why don't you move to the private room next door? Other than me, there are also people from the Arbitration Alliance and a few others who want to see you."
