Nian Xi thought she heard him wrong, “I thought you didn’t care for the Ye family? Ma is always pleading you to go to their events, what’s gotten over you today?”

“Yeah, I didn’t want to go, but grandma nagged at me. I was thinking that I should be more filial and get to know her side of the family better since she’s so old already.”

Nian Junting said n.o.bly, “I’ll take over the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation when Ma retires, I should maintain an amicable relations.h.i.+p with Ye Dongwei. He is, after all, a senior executive at the company.”

“Oh…” Nian Xi blinked her eyes, she thought her brother’s excuse was kind of suspicious.

“I’ll drive over to pick you up now…”

“Later, I’m not done with work yet.”

“How long more do you need?”

“About forty minutes?” Nian Xi looked at her watch.

“…It’s quite rude to arrive late at someone else’s party, how about half an hour from now? I’ll be at the entrance of the police post,” Nian Junting scolded her.

“I have things I need to take care of, I told Chuen beforehand. If you’re worried about being late, you can go ahead first,” Nian Xi said matter-of-factly, she found it strange that he was being so persistent.

“Anyway, I am the daughter of the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation CEO, I am a VIP at the party. VIPs always arrive later than the normal folks.”

“…”

“See ya,” Nian Xi put down her phone and started keying in information into the computer.

She was finally done with her work after half an hour when another police officer brought a burglar into the station. After taking down his statement, Nian Junting called her, “It’s been fifty minutes, I’m here. Come down now.”

“It’s going to take me a while more.”
