Chapter 815: Farewell

Yaen Chi didn’t understand, “Isn’t it still a few days away?”

Everyone in the Nan Mansion said that Nan Jiaojiao would return for the New Year.

Elder Nan was full of energy every day, either selecting dishes or having the kitchen make new pastries, even the house’s greenery was meticulously trimmed.

Bo Yanching put down his teacup, “Elder Nan’s identity is not simple.”

Yaen Chi nodded.

He hadn’t investigated, as Jiaojiao was part of their circle.

Investigating your own people’s families is very disrespectful.

But everyone who came to visit the Nan Mansion were prominent figures, many of whom could command respect wherever they went, yet they were all exceedingly respectful to Elder Nan.

No matter how respected an elder is, to receive such treatment, their status must be exceptionally high.

“Do you remember the medical chip contract I signed with Nan’s before?”

Yaen Chi nodded, “I remember, Xu Shu said it worked very well, the technology is advanced.”

He hadn’t finished speaking and nearly bit his tongue.

Suddenly, he clapped his hands, a realization dawning on him, “Nan’s belongs to Elder Nan?

Damn it, the richest man in Green City, the Elder Nan who secluded himself deep in Green City yet holds great prestige?”

Bo Yanching pressed his lips, “Yes.”

“Oh my!” Yaen Chi patted his chest, and after the shock, his face turned white, “I see, who nurtured Jiaojiao’s demeanor?

Raised by Elder Nan since childhood, naturally she exudes an academic aura.

When I chatted with Miss Lu before, I heard her mention that Jiaojiao had a particularly bad temper as a child, and it was her adoptive grandfather who softened her temper.”

He looked around, suddenly feeling the expansive four-sided mansion appeared even grander.

He even had a fleeting thought that Bo Yanching wasn’t worthy of her.

As soon as this thought emerged, Yaen Chi quickly suppressed it.

Brother Yan’s background was also strong, if he went to the Capital City…

“In the evening, I’ll take leave of Elder Nan.

Since I can’t wait here for Jiaojiao, I’ll search elsewhere.”

Bo Yanching put down his teacup and turned to leave.

There are too many people around Nan Jiaojiao.

Now there’s even the addition of Nan Jue, someone without blood relation.

He’d never felt such a heavy sense of crisis.

After dinner, Bo Yanching proposed to leave.

Elder Nan didn’t try to retain him, had Uncle Qiu prepare many gifts, and let them stay one more night.

For more than half a month, Bo Yanching always adhered to guest etiquette without wandering around.

On the last night, he went to Nan Jiaojiao’s room.

Without needing guidance, he knew where her room was from the first day he moved in.

Opening the door, the room was lit by a warm lamp, casting a soft light, making the entire room feel filled with a warm, girlish atmosphere.

On the sofa were family plush toys of Peppa Pig.

There were a few photographs, all from when Nan Jiaojiao was young, some taken when she was a few years old, others when she was in her teens, but none from when she was grown.

“Those were taken when Jiaojiao was little, easy to coax back then.

After she grew up, she refused to.

I have some on my phone, but she doesn’t allow me to print them, especially after her uncle took her to that place.

There are no photos of them displayed anywhere else in the house except in their rooms.”

Bo Yanching’s eyebrows twitched.

He made his way there smoothly, encountering few servants, with no one stopping him.

If it wasn’t tacitly permitted, how could he have been allowed to walk that far?

“Sorry for the intrusion.”

Elder Nan smiled knowingly, holding onto the back of a chair, gesturing to sit down.

Bo Yanching set the photos right and assisted the old man to sit.

The photograph was right in Elder Nan’s view.

He picked it up, gently holding the edge.

“This was Jiaojiao at seven, just when she came to me, such a tiny little thing, maybe—”
