Chapter 590: Sister Nian Has Arrived in Beijing

Shen Jingyan was calmer than her. After some thought, he said, "I doubt it"s an overseas specialist. The elderly usually don"t trust foreign doctors, and have always insisted on turning to local doctors. The best neurologist in the country is none other than Liang Lu. Since Mom has contacted Liang Lu, I believe they couldn"t have gotten a better doctor than her…"

"That"s true, too."

Wei Ling nodded but still felt unsettled. She looked up at him. "I"ll still have to make a trip down tomorrow. This is a crucial moment for Old Master, I can"t let Mom face this alone."

If it was a stroke, then the splitting of a.s.sets would come into the picture.

The Wei Family"s business was huge and many people were involved. Splitting the family a.s.sets was a serious and important matter. Whoever spent more time by Old Master"s hospital bed now might just manage to get a larger share.

Wasn"t everybody rus.h.i.+ng back from other states and countries just because of this?

Shen Jingyan had been in the industry for so long and knew the thoughts that went on in their heads. He nodded solemnly. "Mm, it"d be good for you to return this time."

It wouldn"t be helpful for her to face Qiao Chen all the time, anyway.

If it wasn"t for Wei Qi"s case, Wei Ling could have returned to Beijing today already. Now, he was also stuck in this city and unable to fly to Beijing until Wei Qi"s sentence was finalized.

…

The next day.

Qiao Nian"s flight arrived at the capital airport.

She had just gotten off the plane and was walking out. She had one hand in her pocket and the other holding onto her black cell phone. Her white earphones were plugged in, leaving the dangling wire that seemed to accentuate her jawline.

"h.e.l.lo."

Qiao Nian arrived at 10:00 AM in Beijing. It was a 7:00 AM flight, and she had gotten up at 5:00 AM to prepare for departure. She took the pills and other handy items, and Jiang Li sent her to the airport. She had to collect her air tickets and queue for the security checks, leaving her with no time to rest. She was now exceptionally tired, and her beautiful eyes were squinted. The tips of her eyes were a faint red from the lack of sleep, making her appear slightly threatening.

She purchased a canned coffee from the vending machine when she pa.s.sed by one. After conveniently scanning the QR code to make payment, she picked her coffee up, pulled the tab, and started sipping.

It was October now, and Beijing was colder than Rao City. Here in the North, the air was slightly drier, and she realized that she was dressed too thin for the weather here.

Fortunately, the warm coffee from the vending machine allowed her to warm her hands, and Qiao Nian felt much more comfortable with that. She was leaning against the wall, watching the people in the airport. Soon enough, she found herself looking at her cell phone.

The caller ID showed Ye w.a.n.gchuan.

The man"s voice was deep and alluring, and the background was rather noisy. "You"re off the plane?"

"I just got off." Qiao Nian looked up again and took another sip of coffee. Her slender fingers were wrapped around the can as she twisted the can casually. Her lush lashes and dark eyes were exceptionally beautiful. After remembering something, she asked a little unnaturally, "You?"

"Ha." The man chuckled genuinely. "Is this reciprocal concern?"

Qiao Nian didn"t think too much when she asked him. Now that he responded this way, she was unsure of what to say.

Fortunately, Ye w.a.n.gchuan saved her the trouble by going on. "I just got off the plane as well, and I"m preparing to go over now. I checked the time and thought you"d have landed about now, so I called to ask."

He and Gu San had already left the previous night.

Qiao Nian didn"t have to ask to know where they were headed.

It should be the customs where the goods were held.

Well, it was worth a few hundred million yuan, after all…

She acknowledged what he said softly and blinked her eyes tiredly.
