Chapter 1732: My Real Sister

Nan Jiaojiao put away her phone, “Big brother.”

Ye Jun waited for a moment, then smiled helplessly, “Just calling me that? Nothing else to say? Why so distant with your big brother?”

“I’m not good with words.”

Ye Jun found her earnest appearance amusing, “Not good at what? I think you’re quite clever. What’s this about, you’ve just arrived and now you want to leave?”

Nan Jiaojiao spoke without hesitation, “I have some business to attend to, so I have to leave first.”

“What kind of business won’t even let you eat?”

Ye Jun raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, “Just in time, I have a few partners here who also have business relations with your E.Y. They’ve brought their wives too, several of whom are your clients. Let me introduce you.”

Just as Nan Jiaojiao opened her mouth, he cut her off, “No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. I won’t drink tonight, I’ll take you back later.”

She pinched the inner seam of her pocket, “Alright, but I don’t know what to say.”

“You don’t need to speak, nor do you need to laugh deliberately; I’m here for that.”

Ye Jun led her inside, always staying slightly behind her shoulder. Once they entered the banquet hall, he took a step forward and naturally walked ahead of her. Many people approached them to chat, and Ye Jun handled each interaction with care. Seemingly concerned that Nan Jiaojiao might feel bored, he offered apologies to several people and kept shielding her, eventually bringing her to those clients.

Among them were two people Nan Jiaojiao actually recognized; she had met them while accompanying Su Miaotong to visit clients.

“President Ye, who is this?”

“This is my sister,” Ye Jun took Nan Jiaojiao’s hand and brought her forward, “my real sister. I told her she knew Mrs. Dong, but she didn’t believe me.”

Mrs. Dong glanced at her and laughed, “We’ve indeed met. The young girl is very quiet, and Master Su has praised her many times. The work featured on E.Y’s official blog last time was hers, I remember. I even specifically asked Master Su about it, hoping to hire her for a project, but I was too late, she had other commitments. Is she available now?”

E.Y has a rule that designers cannot take private commissions unless they’re at Master Su’s level.

But the boss is an exception.

Nan Jiaojiao understood the rules, and although she wasn’t familiar with the ways of the world, there was no need to decline directly. She said, “I’m available. Whenever you’re free, I can come to you. Just tell me your requirements, and I’ll report to Master Su in the afternoon.”

Mrs. Dong looked slyly, knowing that if it were reported, the credit would go to Su Miaotong, as Nan Jiaojiao wasn’t independent enough to handle projects alone.

“Alright, leave a contact method, and I’ll reach out to you.”

She was initially just being polite because of Ye Jun, intending to commission a necklace or bracelet as a favor, not caring much about the result—it was just to maintain her husband’s connections.

Nan Jiaojiao was aware of this, so she didn’t rush to please, engaging in normal conversation. Soon, Ye Jun led them to the dining table.

He kept Nan Jiaojiao by his side, not introducing her to many people. Occasionally, when someone approached to talk, he quickly wrapped it up.

“Sit with me, at Grandpa’s table.”

That was the main table, reserved for family.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t feel awkward, Lin Shuyun wasn’t there, and Su Rong and Chen Nian were friendly with her. Ye Congjie gave her a faint glance, nodded as a greeting, but it was Ye Linlin who made a few sour comments. Before she could say more, Ye Jun tapped her forehead, and she swallowed her words.

The meal was quite peaceful.

Lin Shuyun was in high spirits today; the earlier unpleasantness in the lounge seemed not to have affected her at all.
