Chapter 1003 Do Not Blame Me

The meeting took place at a private club, where Qiao Zhan invited the person to meet.

The arrangement was handled with proper decorum.

Ning Ran got out of the car and exchanged pleasantries with Qiao Zhan.

“Did he reveal his identity to you?” Ning Ran asked.

Qiao Zhan appeared somewhat hesitant. “He didn't disclose it. But he was very courteous.”

Ning Ran could not quite comprehend what he meant. “Courteous?”

Qiao Zhan responded with a serious nod. “Yes. Courteous.”

“Why does he want to see me? Did he explain that?” Ning Ran continued asking.

“He just wanted to see you, that's all. By the way, Sir Chen approved the arrangement, so if you're unhappy about it, please don't blame me,” Qiao Zhan said.

His remark got Ning Ran even more confused. Why would this meeting make me unhappy? Is he unattractive? Or are there any other reasons that might upset me when I meet that man?

“What do you mean? I feel you're keeping a lot of things from me.” Ning Ran pressed on.

Qiao Zhan hurriedly gestured. “No, no, absolutely not! You should go in and meet him. He has been waiting for you for quite some time.”

Ning Ran knew how tight-lipped Qiao Zhan was, and if Nan Chen wanted him to keep something a secret, Qiao Zhan would never divulge the information. Well, I guess I have to see for myself.

Nonetheless, she was confident that meeting the man would not jeopardize her safety. Otherwise, Nan Chen would not have permitted it to happen.

After entering the room, Ning Ran was taken aback by what she saw.

Sitting on an Epean leather couch was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

Clad in a black suit, he looked a little frail and skinny. His gray hair was combed backward, and he possessed a distinguished air about him.

It might not be entirely appropriate to describe someone of his age as “handsome,” but it was evident that he exuded a pleasant demeanor. One could tell that he must have been extraordinarily attractive in his younger days.

The man still emanated a steady and elegant aura. It was evident that he must be an influential figure, and his presence commanded respect and admiration.
