Chapter 283: Take a Trip Abroad with Your Senior Brother

Nan Jiaojiao took a sip of her milk tea and said, “I should have one, where to?”

“The Qi Family sent me an invitation, you know, the eldest of the Qi Family, the one who gave up on the domestic market to start his business abroad using his family’s connections.

He used to mingle in politics, rising quite high in rank.

Somehow, he got outmaneuvered by his peers and lost his position.

That’s when he ventured into business.

As for his personality, he has always been rather extravagant, and now he’s throwing a full moon party for his son on a cruise ship, inviting all the bigwigs of Rongcheng City.”

Nan Jiaojiao dabbed the milk foam from her lips and sighed contentedly, “On the sea, huh?”

“Yeah,” Lu Zhenzhen glanced at the blanket wrapped around her, “Honey, let’s wear some human clothes, this getup isn’t suitable for going out.”

Nan Jiaojiao gave her a look of dissatisfaction.

She was just thinking about it, not actually planning to go out wrapped in a blanket.

“Alright, let’s go have some fun.”

“I’ll have Veil of Immortality send over an evening dress later.

Do you want to avoid it?”

Others might not know, but Veil of Immortality, the first high-fashion brand in the country with a national style theme, falls under the umbrella of E.Y.

It wasn’t Pei Dongshi’s hands-on effort that established its fame, but rather the works of its most mysterious designer that attracted fans.

Initially, Pei Dongshi gave it to Nan Jiaojiao as a plaything, but it turned into a luxury brand that socialites and celebrities scrambled for.

Whoever could wear a Veil of Immortality gown to the red carpet was guaranteed extra flashes that night.

“No need, I’m going to take a nap later on.”

“That works.

I’m going to find Elder Jiang and talk to her about something.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded.

She didn’t ask what the matter was.

Most likely, it involved the company, given that Jiang Yu wore the title of the president of the business association.

She wasn’t just idling around, her trusted assistants at the association needed to check in every few days to report on official business before leaving.

Nan Jiaojiao tucked the blanket closer around herself, her exposed hands cradling the cup, warming her delicate pale pink hands with the milk tea.

Her gaze lingered on the red plum blossoms in the courtyard, as if one day they might bloom under her steady stare.

By noon, both Jiang Yu and Lu Zhenzhen had returned.

Nan Jiaojiao was still squatting in the same spot.

Pei Dongshi scooped her up as if she were a bundle of plush dolls, but unfortunately, he couldn’t maintain his hold all the way to the dining room and set her down.

“Have you put on weight recently?”

Nan Jiaojiao silently glanced at her milk tea, “Nope.”

“Walk by yourself.

Put down the milk tea and eat first.”

She rolled her eyes, “I didn’t ask you to carry me.”

“So I owe it to you, huh?”

Pei Dongshi raised his hand as if to strike her, but Nan Jiaojiao quickly ducked and dashed away from him, snatching the blanket on her way and pulling it into her arms.

Once she settled down, she folded it neatly over her lap.

Jiang Yu gave her a look, “Are you here to recuperate after birth?”

Nan Jiaojiao muttered, “Even if I use a blanket, you despise me.

I won’t come over anymore.”

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes, tired of her threats, “Good, tomorrow you and Dong Shi go together to Country Z.

I’ve taken an order, and they specifically requested Xiao Nanshan to personally oversee the project.

I generously cut down the consultation fee before they agreed that if Xiao Nanshan isn’t available, East Sea will do.”

Pei Dongshi’s hand shook before he calmly set down his utensils, “Master, am I the backup option?”

Jiang Yu straightforwardly said, “Be confident, you are.”

Pei Dongshi shook his head resignedly.

Thankfully, he was magnanimous.

Besides the work Jiang Yu passed on to him, he no longer took private jobs.

There was already enough to keep him busy at E.Y.
