Qiao Yiyi stood near the doorway, looking extremely reserved.
Qiao Lian paused in surprise when she saw the girl. As she was puzzling over who the girl might be, someone introduced her, "This is Lu Nanze's wife, Qiao Yiyi."
A sudden look of realization crossed her face.
She quickly got onto her feet, walked over to Qiao Yiyi and asked, "Why are you here? Do you want to take a seat?"
Qiao Yiyi stared at Qiao Lian for some time and then suddenly hung her head, saying, "No, no, I- I just came to see you."
Qiao Lian smiled in a very friendly manner and said, "You're here to see me? So now you've seen me!"
The girl nodded and squeezed the pendant in her hand tightly. Nodding again, she said, "Yes, indeed."
Qiao Lian looked at her in silence and, after a while, asked, "And is there something you wish to say to me?"
