Her good mood for buying gifts was ruined by the man in front of her.
“I have nothing to talk to you about.” Murong Qiao’s voice turned cold.
She didn’t expect to see Nan Xuan here. Her mood was not as good as before.
Yang Xin and Leng Yan looked at Murong Qiao and this man who had suddenly appeared in confusion. They acutely sensed that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little subtle.
“I think that dress suits you. Let’s give it a try!” An Nuo nudged Yang Xin.
The two of them didn’t know, but An Nuo knew Nan Xuan.
Knowing that it was inconvenient for the two of them to talk with them here, An Nuo found an excuse to leave with the two, leaving Murong Qiao and Nan Xuan alone to talk.
“You’ve changed a lot,” Nan Xuan suddenly said.
He looked at Murong Qiao with mixed feelings.
Nan Xuan had never thought that the young lady at that time would become so beautiful and confident. She was completely different from the Nan Qiao from before in the Nan family.
“It’s all thanks to Nan Kang.” Murong Qiao didn’t intend to be nice to him. Her tone was cold.
She was talking about how Nan Kang chased her out of the Nan family and cut ties with her. Nan Xuan could naturally tell.
This also reminded him of his purpose in coming to find Murong Qiao.
“The Nan family is in trouble now. You should help them,” Nan Xuan said coldly.
It was not a request, nor was it a plea. It was an order.
It was as if Murong Qiao would definitely help the Nan family. Hearing Nan
Xuan’s unquestionable tone, Murong Qiao only found it funny.
Where did he get his confidence from?
“What makes you think I’ll help the Nan family?” Murong Qiao asked.
Nan Xuan was stunned. He didn’t expect Murong Qiao to say that.
He looked at Murong Qiao in surprise and saw her mocking and distant gaze. Only then did he realize that the two of them were no longer close siblings.
But even when they were siblings, Nan Xuan had never treated her with a good att.i.tude.
“You haven’t changed at all when it comes to being self-centered.” Murong Qiao sneered.
Nan Xuan had been like this since a long time ago. Even now, when the Nan family was in dire straits, it still couldn’t change Nan Xuan’s annoying character.
Nan Xuan didn’t think much of Murong Qiao’s words. He came this time to ask Murong Qiao to help the Nan family.
“I don’t want to make our relationship so ugly, Nan Qiao.” The smile on Nan Xuan’s face disappeared. “You don’t seem to know how much your actions have affected the Nan family.
Nan Jin left the family because of you. This matter made everyone uneasy. Father almost had a relapse.” Nan Xuan slowly recounted what had happened in the Nan family recently.
Nan Xuan blamed all of this on Murong Qiao. He felt that if it weren’t for her, the Nan family wouldn’t have become like this.
Even their current downfall was caused by Murong Qiao. If she hadn’t left the Nan family, things wouldn’t have developed to this point.
“All of this was caused by you,” Nan Xuan said in a self righteous manner. “But I can give you a chance to turn over a new leaf now.
As long as you help the Nan family survive this crisis, I can allow you to come back,” he said. “We can let bygones be bygones.”
Murong Qiao almost laughed aloud when she heard Nan Xuan’s words.
She looked at Nan Xuan, who didn’t seem to have any self-awareness. It was as if he had forgotten that he had also contributed when she was chased out of the Nan family.
Nan Xuan had once personally chased her out, but now, he kept saying that he could allow her to go back.
“If you’re sick, go and see a doctor,” Murong Qiao said coldly.
It wasn’t a question. It was a statement.
“Don’t tell me you really think I’ll want to return to the Nan family and continue to suffer humiliation at your hands?” She looked at Nan Xuan and sneered.
“I won’t help the Nan family.” Murong Qiao took a deep breath to calm himself down. “You can go back and tell Nan Kang to give up.”
First, it was Nan Hao, then Nan Xuan. Murong Qiao was annoyed.
She was not a tool of the Nan family.
“Also, I hope we never meet again.” Murong Qiao said this and bypa.s.sed Nan Xuan.
She swiftly paid the bill and took the sapphire cufflinks. Then, she left the shop without looking back.
Nan Xuan’s stuck up att.i.tude made Murong Qiao feel nauseous.
The next time she met this person, she would definitely take a detour to avoid being stained with his bad luck.
Seeing Murong Qiao leave without any reluctance and gradually disappear from his sight, Nan Xuan pursed his lips. He couldn’t tell what he was feeling now.
He felt like things were slipping out of his control.
An Nuo and the others were picking out clothes in a shop not far away, but in fact, everyone’s attention was not on them, but on Murong Qiao.
Yang Xin was the first to see Murong Qiao walk in from the door.
“Qiaoqiao, you…” She subconsciously raised her voice to greet Murong Qiao.
However, when she got closer, she realized that Murong Qiao didn’t look too good. Her mood also became gloomy.
“I’m fine.” Murong Qiao smiled.
She didn’t want to affect her mood because of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Nan Xuan. Moreover, she hadn’t finished buying the gifts for her Big Brothers.
This shopping trip was surprisingly short. Murong Qiao didn’t have the mood to walk around anymore. After buying all the gifts, she bid farewell to her roommates and returned to the Murong family.
It was almost winter, and the weather had obviously turned cold.
Coincidentally, Murong Qiao was wearing thin clothes today. Just standing at the door, she was attacked by the cold.
Even the butler, Uncle Yang, was a little surprised when he opened the door and saw Murong Qiao return so early.
“Young Miss, welcome back.” Uncle Yang smiled and opened the door.
Murong Qiao didn’t say anything and entered the house.
As soon as she entered, the warmth enveloped Murong Qiao, forming an airtight protective shield.
Her frozen, stiff heart melted with it, beating anew as she wallowed in this sense of belonging.
“Where’s Big Brother? Is he not back yet?” Murong Qiao looked up at Uncle Yang.
At this moment, Murong Qiao was holding the hot tea that Uncle Yang had prepared. She looked extremely obedient as she sat on the sofa. Anyone who saw her would feel their hearts soften.
“Young Master will only be back tonight. Do you need me to inform him?” Uncle Yang answered truthfully.
If there aren’t any extra arrangements, Murong Chen would spend most of his time in the company. Other than when he knew that his Little Sister would come home, he wouldn’t change his schedule and come back early.
However, Murong Qiao came back unexpectedly early today, so Murong Chen was still working in the company.
“No need. I’ll just wait for Big Brother to come back.” Murong Qiao shook her head and refused.
She didn’t want to disrupt her Big Brother’s plan because of her.
Murong Qiao politely rejected Uncle Yang’s suggestion, then sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for Murong Chen to come home.
She held the book on management and carefully read every line of words, trying to understand the meaning.
Murong Qiao, who was now managing a company, had also begun to work hard to become a qualified boss. She didn’t intend to rely on Jiang Chi’s support to run this company, but to let herself develop the actual ability to lead it.
However, as she read, she felt sleepy. Perhaps it was because she had already used up all her energy today, Murong Qiao’s eyes gradually closed, and she let out an even and gentle breathing. She slowly curled up on the sofa, and her long hair drooped down messily.
Murong Chen saw this scene as soon as he came back.
“Young Master, you—” Before Uncle Yang could finish, he was interrupted by Murong Chen.
“Keep your voice down. 1’11 send Qiaoqiao up first.” Murong Chen lowered his voice and gestured for Uncle Yang to talk later..
