Chapter 565 - 567 Let’s Have a Good Talk
Looking at Nangong Jinlie’s expectant eyes again, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and say, "Okay, Grandpa...""Old Li, tell the kitchen to prepare more dishes. The three of us will have a good gathering tonight."
...
At the dining table, the aroma of food filled the air, but the atmosphere wasn’t particularly harmonious...
Nangong Jinlie smiled and said, "Xiaonuan, I’ve already taught Yaoling a lesson for you. From now on, you two better live your lives well. Don’t worry, if he bullies you again, you have Grandpa backing you up. Just tell me!"
Xia Xiaonuan was taken aback by his words.
She hurriedly said, "Grandpa, actually we..."
At this moment, Qin Yi, standing in the corner, suddenly coughed forcefully.
Xia Xiaonuan glanced at Qin Yi, who signaled her with his eyes, then quickly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, your heart isn’t good, you should drink less alcohol and eat more dishes..."
Heart isn’t good? What does Qin Yi mean? Could it be that the old man doesn’t know they’ve divorced?
Xia Xiaonuan was dumbfounded.
Sitting opposite, Nangong Yaoling’s handsome face, usually expressionless, also showed a slight surprise.
"But..."
"Ling’er, I warn you, don’t mess around with women outside anymore. If I find out, you’ll be punished by family rules, understand?!"
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
Ling’er...
What a... strange nickname.
Nangong Yaoling’s face darkened slightly, replying respectfully, "I understand, Grandpa."
Nangong Yaoling is generally unafraid of anyone at home, except Nangong Jinlie.
Back then, the Nangong Family was a significant clan in the country. It’s said that their ancestors were the orphans of a prince from the Qing Dynasty. After going through regime changes and the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the family gradually declined.
By the generation of Nangong Jinlie, they encountered the Cultural Revolution, with no way out, and Nangong Jinlie took the family abroad.
Then they fell into hardship in Europe, living a bitter life for a while.
Yet he built his business empire abroad bit by bit with his abilities, supporting the family again.
From a young age, Nangong Yaoling lived with Nangong Jinlie, spending his childhood with him. Nangong Jinlie’s personality was always decisive, pampering Nangong Yaoling but being strict when necessary.
Therefore, Nangong Yaoling had not only feelings of kinship but also respect and admiration for him; plus, the old man had a weak heart and shouldn’t be agitated.
So once Nangong Yaoling met Nangong Jinlie, he truly became a "grandson." Even if Nangong Jinlie beat him to death, he probably wouldn’t resist.
However, after finishing the meal, Nangong Yaoling, undeterred, said:
"Grandpa, I have work at the company. Let Xiaonuan accompany you to chat..."
Nangong Jinlie, in anger, gritted his teeth and raised a water cup to throw at him. Xia Xiaonuan was startled and hurried forward to stop him, "Grandpa, don’t be impulsive..."
Oh my, this grandpa is too terrifying. He hits people at the drop of a hat.
Although on the surface, he still looked kindly, his gaze was extremely sharp, showing he was different from ordinary people.
Nangong Yaoling saw Xia Xiaonuan’s frightened expression, his face completely darkened.
Nangong Jinlie said, "You’re not allowed to leave! Stay here tonight and have a good chat with Xiaonuan! If you dare to leave, I’ll break your legs!"
Nangong Yaoling exchanged a glance with Xia Xiaonuan.
Both of their expressions didn’t look good.
The final outcome was that Nangong Yaoling and Xia Xiaonuan were locked up in the room upstairs.
Nangong Jinlie had someone lock the door with a key, saying outside, "Ling’er, I’m warning you, have a good talk with Xiaonuan, understand? If I find out Xiaonuan is unhappy, I won’t spare you!"
