Chapter 132 Call Me Aunt
Nina realized that Noah was a member of the Ye family. Her judgment of Noah when she first met him was not very accurate.
He was not only rich but also had an eminent family background. His family was one of the three giants of Lexingport City.
He was as low key as her.
"Yes, I mean Noah. He's my senior." Nina nodded, took out another lollipop from her pocket, and handed it to Kristina. She pursed her lips and said, "You must be his aunt that he mentioned. Nice to meet you. My name is Nina Lu."
In the field of criminal psychology, Nina worshiped Noah. He was a god in the field. Even through the phone, they could discuss a case to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.
Noah guided Nina and often praised her grit, which encouraged her. At present, her goal was to become better if not as good as him.
When it came to friends, Nina treated hers well. She also cherished the families of her friends as if they were her own.
Although Kristina had been a little aggressive just now, Nina did not mind it. She was too busy smiling to herself thinking of Noah.
"You..." Looking at Nina's girly, beautiful face and gentle smile, Kristina was slightly stunned. She stared at the lollipop Nina just handed to her.
She had not seen Noah for a year.
She could not even get in touch with him, so when she heard Nina call him her senior and saw his customized lollipop in her hand, her eyes turned misty with excitement.
"Can you get in touch with Noah? I haven't spoken to him for a year. I can only get some information from Director Shen. I only know that he's very busy every day and that he's well. I have no idea if he's getting enough sleep or eating healthy every day." Although Kristina was only two years older than Noah, she worried about him like she was his mother.

Noah lost his mother when he was three years old, and his father brought home his stepmother and stepsister not long after his mother's funeral. At that time, only his aunt, Kristina, who was five or six years old, stayed with him.
Although Kristina was about the same age as Noah, she took care of him and accompanied him growing up.
In order to make Noah feel safe, Kristina had to grow up in such a short period of time. She changed from being a sweet girl to a fierce one. She quarreled with Vivian and her mother every day and oppressed them in any way she could. Only in that way could Noah grow up healthily.
"Yes, I can get in touch with him." Kristina said that she did not know that Noah had gone home to Lexingport City. She did not know whether it was others' deliberate concealment or Noah's own decision.
She had to know straight from Noah's mouth. She could not tell others that she knew now that Noah was back in Lexingport City. There were many conflicts among rich and powerful families. Kristina might be happy that Noah had returned, but others might not feel the same.
"Really? That's great. Tell him I miss him very much. I won't force him to come back and take over the family businesses. He can be a policeman for all I care as long as I get to see him." Kristina grabbed Nina's hand. Her slightly cold fingertips made Nina shiver a little.
She was compromising now, and her eyes spelled exhaustion. They were no longer as aggressive as before. She was acting like a disappointed mother whose son did not even bother to send word of his homecoming.
"I'll make sure your message gets to him. He'll contact you. Noah is a mature, steady gentleman, and you are his favorite aunt. He won't let you down." Nina did not really know how to comfort others, so she just said those words.
A relieved smile slowly spread across Kristina's face.
Nina's words were all that held her down now. They were her hope of seeing and speaking to Noah again.
"You call Noah your senior, so you must be one of Professor Gu's disciples. Professor Gu is highly respected, and he doesn't take less than extraordinary disciples." Kristina smiled and gently patted the back of Nina's hand. "Since Noah calls me Aunt, you can call me Aunt as well. My name is Kristina Ye."
As soon as Kristina finished speaking, Vivian was shocked.
Every time she called her Aunt, Kristina was indifferent. Kristina had never shown her the tenderness and enthusiasm she had just shown Nina.
How could she let Nina call her Aunt?
"Aunt, I think you should ask for Nina's opinion first." Vivian glanced at Nina and found that she, too, was a little stunned. Maybe she was unwilling to call Kristina Aunt after all.
How could she call Kristina Aunt? She was just a poor girl from the countryside. The entire world knew it.
"Look at the time, Vivian. Go and change your dress. Don't be so improper." Kristina seldom treated Vivian kindly. She always acted like an elder to her who always scolded her and pushed her around.
Others thought that Kristina looked down upon Vivian and her mother, but it was for good reason. When Kristina was ten years old, she saw Vivian and her mother secretly put something into Noah's bowl of food. Later, Noah was hospitalized for more than half a month. The doctors had to pump his stomach to get all the poison out.
At that time, Kristina was still young. Her elder brothers did not believe a word she said, and they were partial to Vivian and her mother. It pissed Kristina off. Because of what they did to Noah, Kristina halted every opportunity for Vivian and her mother to get close to him.
"Yes, Aunt Kristina." Vivian was unwilling to leave, but she could not disobey Kristina's order.
Adela and Isabella were stunned. They did not expect that in such a short time, Nina would be able to make friends with Kristina, Ye Group's CEO. In just a few minutes, she probably was able to alter her destiny and pave her way to becoming a rich girl.
The two of them looked at each other.
"It seems that you like Nina very much, Ms. Ye," Albert said and glanced at Kristina with a smile. Even if it was only there for half a second, his warm smile was still able to light up the room and warm the hearts of those around him.
This was the first time that Nina felt that Albert was really smiling. He had always seemed cold and reserved.
"It seems that you also like Nina, Albert." Kristina smiled meaningfully. A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. It was gone the next second.
"Ms. Ye, you misunderstand. Albert is just my senior," Nina explained immediately. She was afraid that there would be another misunderstanding.
Everyone already thought that she had had an affair with James. She could not afford to let them think that she was romantically involved with Albert as well. That would be very difficult to explain, and it would really piss off someone she did not want to anger.
"Yes, Albert and Nina are just friends." Isabella interjected and looked at Albert affectionately.
Albert could only be hers. She walked on the red carpet on his arm this evening.
As a response, Albert just smiled and said in a gentle voice, "I have a girlfriend. She is a woman of both beauty and talent."
Albert thought about the woman he was talking about.
