Chapter 687 - 685: Really Doesn’t Understand the Rules
Ye Xinyan suddenly remembered, if Wong Qiao was to do an undercover job for Jinrong, then what kind of attitude should she and Grandpa have towards Wong Qiao?
"So, what do we do, pretend to completely cut ties with him?" Ye Xinyan asked.
Jiang Yifan shook his head, "No need, it’s enough if I completely cut ties with him. Grandpa should treat him the same as he always does, and you should do the same."
Ye Xinyan gave Jiang Yifan a closer look. Just yesterday, that middle-aged woman had gone to see Lady Zhao, and today Jiang Yifan said that the woman had been fishing for information from Xiuqin. He probably knew about yesterday’s incident on the same day it happened, which was rather quick.
"That... Xiuqin..." Ye Xinyan looked around cautiously and then shut her mouth.
This damned spying work is too meticulous, right? That’s her home, and Xiuqin is just a village girl of twenty-eight, yet they managed to develop her into a sleeper agent.
Jiang Yifan was thinking about how to steer the conversation back, when Qi Jiaer ran back from ahead, holding a corner of a paper filled with boiled broad beans, steaming hot with spices mixed in, the scent wafting enticingly with the steam.
Qi Jiaer stuffed the paper cone of boiled broad beans into Jiang Yifan’s hands and said, "Lord Jiang, here, I’ve tried them, and they’re really tasty, very fragrant and soft."
Ye Xinyan glared back and forth between the two of them, completely failing to catch on. Damn it, not to mention this wasn’t something men should be eating on the street, but considering how close or distant relatives should be, shouldn’t this boy be offering it to her instead? After all, she was his older sister.
"Qi Jia!" Ye Xinyan reached out to grab Qi Jiaer’s ear but was stopped by Jiang Yifan, "Brother Jia is worried that you’ll find it too hot to hold, and if you’re holding it, it’s also not convenient to peel the broad bean skins, so he gave it to me to hold for you. Right, Qi Jia?"
