Chapter 258 - 154. Yu Qinglu looked at Nan Wan and smiled,
Mu Qingqing was half doubting, "Really?""Of course it’s true," Jiashu answered quickly, her big eyes twirling on the floor, "The ball, let me find it for you."
The ball rolled under the sofa, which explained the golden retriever’s listlessness today.
Jiashu searched for a long time before discovering it, crawling on the carpet with Qingqing, using a stick Aunt Zhou found to poke it out.
The crisp, innocent laughter of children brought an unprecedented warmth and vitality to this villa.
Nan Wan did not join in, sitting leisurely on the sofa opposite, watching them play.
Until the phone vibrated.
Nan Wan glanced at the caller ID flashing on the screen, the smile in her eyes vanished instantly, leaving no trace of warmth.
...
Night Charm Bar.
In the luxuriously decorated VIP room, the air was thick with the scent of alcohol and tobacco, the raucous music unable to drown out the flirtatious interactions between men and women.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Nan Huaiyu listened to the mechanical female voice on his phone, his thin lips curving into a mocking smile, as expected.
Disconnecting the call, he took a photo of the girl passed out on the sofa, unconscious, and sent it over.
Less than a minute after it was successfully sent, the phone screen lit up again.
It was precisely what he wanted, yet when she really called back, it felt meaningless.
His gaze on those two words on the screen was both charming and cold, not answering until it was about to end.
Nan Wan closed the door leading from the backyard to the living room, the sky already dim, wearing only a sweater, the cold wind poured through her clothes, yet she didn’t feel the chill.
"Nan Huaiyu, what are you up to? Xu Moyi is somewhat related to you by blood, don’t you have a conscience or even a shred of humanity?"
From the noisy and ambiguous sounds in the background, she knew exactly where he was.
The photo Nan Huaiyu sent showed only half of Xu Moyi’s face, hair disheveled, cheeks unusually flushed, and a greasy hand on her thigh.
Birds of a feather flock together, what good person would mix with such scum?
Nan Huaiyu leaned in the corner of the box, legs crossed, holding a wine glass, lazily swirling the amber liquid, the clinking of ice barely audible.
His thin lips formed a devilish curve, his voice lazy and nonchalant, "Wouldn’t you know best if I have humanity?"
Nan Wan’s hand hanging by her side clenched tightly, her expression extremely calm, "What do you want?"
He dared to do anything, never afraid of anyone, nor caring who the other person was.
"Night Charm Bar, room 1040," Nan Huaiyu’s long black eyes were half-closed, laughing low and slow, "I’ll only keep an eye on her for half an hour. Beyond that time, even if those men strip her naked in front of me, whether it’s one by one or in a group, it’s none of my business."
"Nan Huaiyu!" Nan Wan’s face turned deathly pale, her nails almost digging into her palms, her voice raised several octaves, "You have your grandmother’s blood flowing through you, aren’t you still human? How can you be so eager to do something only a beast would do?"
Nan Huaiyu was completely indifferent to her harsh words, looking at the expensive watch on his wrist, speaking unhurriedly, "You have 29 minutes and 17 seconds left, 16 seconds..."
"Beep... beep... beep..."
The mechanical busy tone echoed in her ear, Nan Huaiyu’s lips curved more wickedly, his sinister features hidden in the darkness, like the most dangerous messenger from hell.
After cutting off the call, Nan Wan opened the backyard door, her face showing no sign of abnormality as she approached Aunt Zhou, "I have something to attend to, please take care of their dinner."
Aunt Zhou put down the work in her hand, although she sensed something was off with Nan Wan’s emotions, she didn’t ask much, only replied, "Okay."
Nan Wan didn’t have time to explain to the two kids, fortunately, their attention was not on her, trusting Aunt Zhou would take good care of them.
She put on her coat, picked up the car keys from the table, and went out the door.
Though it was not yet the end of the workday, the roads were still somewhat clear, and Nan Wan drove fast, reaching Miyue in just twenty minutes.
The box door was pushed open, and all eyes inside turned towards the newcomer, including Nan Huaiyu in the corner.
Nan Wan’s indifferent gaze swept across the room, finding Xu Moyi slumped on the sofa and let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed she was only asleep, her clothes still intact.
She moved directly in that direction.
As if ignoring the unsightly scenes around her, she brushed aside the hair on Xu Moyi’s cheeks, struggling to lift her, "Mo Yi, wake up."
The strong smell of alcohol prickled Nan Wan’s nerves. Xu Moyi showed no signs of waking, forcing her to pat the drunk’s face, her voice cold, "Xu Moyi, open your eyes for me!"
Xu Moyi seemed to feel her face being pinched, struggled to open her eyelids, body swaying, eyes wandering hazily, taking a long time to see the person in front of her clearly, her voice hoarse and dry, "Sis?"
Seeing her in a daze without knowing where she was made Nan Wan furious, but the most pressing matter now was to get her out of that box, not to lecture her.
Her eyes brushed over the table full of toppled bottles, allowing herself to calm down quickly, supporting Xu Moyi to lean on her shoulder, whispering in her ear, "Do you feel uncomfortable, hot and miserable?"
