2319 Elder Ye Wants to Pave the Way for Sister Nian to Enter the First Research Institute
However, Ye Maoshan was not angry that Qiao Nian and the others lied to him.
Instead, he was worried.
He was worried that Qiao Nian would suffer in the independent continent.
He did not mention how anxious Old Master Ye and Ye Lan were or how straightforward they were in arranging matters in Beijing and rushing to the independent continent.
However, Qiao Nian had already guessed something.
She asked after a moment of silence, “What time will Elder Ye and Auntie Ye arrive?”
Ye Wangchuan told her the time.
Qiao Nian stood up and walked upstairs. “I’ll pick them up with you.”

At the same time.
On the Ye family’s private plane.
Old Master Ye was sitting upright and flipping through the information on the Ye family’s power in the independent continent over the years.
Ye Lan brought him a cup of tea and gently placed it on his table. Seeing that Old Master Ye did not even look up, she could not help but worry. “Dad, you have to rest. You haven’t closed your eyes for more than 10 hours since you boarded the plane. It won’t be too late to look at this information when we get there.”
Old Master Ye flipped the page and took a deep breath before sitting up straight. He looked at her and said, “The forces in the independent continent are complicated. I’m worried about Nian Nian. The Ye family’s foundation is in Beijing, not in the independent continent. I’m afraid I can’t protect her.”
Ye Lan remained silent.
After a while, she rubbed her forehead and said with a headache, “I don’t know why Nian Nian went to the independent continent. Wangchuan won’t tell us the truth.”
Old Master Ye did not know much, but he knew Ji Qing.
Ji Qing was once from the First Research Institute.
Old Master Ye opened his mouth and his expression darkened when he mentioned the First Research Institute. “She should want to enter the First Research Institute.
“The Ye family’s power is not in the independent continent, and the First Research Institute is a place where the three big families of the independent continent have to give face. I’ve heard of the research institute’s selection system. If she wants to enter the First Research Institute, I have to think of another way.”
Ye Lan nodded, noticing that the atmosphere was a little solemn.
Wanting to break the solemn atmosphere, she smiled and said, “We’ll talk about the future later. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. I also know a few forces in the independent continent. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll ask them if they have a way to let Nian Nian enter the First Research Institute. By the way, Dad, did Wangchuan reply to you? Does Nian Nian have time to eat with us tonight?”
At the mention of Qiao Nian, Old Master Ye could not be stern anymore.
His wrinkled face visibly relaxed and revealed a warm expression. His voice became gentle. “We can meet another day if she’s busy. We also have to reorganize our power in the independent continent. There’s no hurry.”
“Mm.” Ye Lan turned her head and said to the Old Master, “Don’t spout nonsense when you see Nian Nian. If she doesn’t want to say why she went to the independent continent, don’t insist on asking. Young people have their own things to do. We can help as much as we can. Nian Nian has always been so sensible that it makes my heart ache. Since she did this, she must have her own reasons.”
“Do I need you to teach me what to do?” Old Master Ye glared at her unhappily and snorted. “I was just about to tell you not to ask.”
Ye Lan wanted to laugh upon seeing how protective he was. The corners of her lips indeed curled up as she smiled. “I won’t ask random questions.”
Old Master Ye was unhappy. He looked at her again, thought for a moment, and said solemnly, “I remember that Ye Keji knows someone from the First Research Institute.”
