“We can find when she’s alone. Besides, it doesn’t have to be face-to-face to teach someone a lesson. That would be the stupidest.”
Although Le Yao was sitting in the restaurant, she could see very clearly through the gla.s.s window and door. Moreover, because of the direction of the fall, she could see the scenery under Nangong Meimei’s wrap-up skirt from her angle. The corners of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch. “Nangong Jue, you’re being too rough on a girl. After all, she’s your cousin.”
Nangong Jue’s heart tightened, but when he saw Le Yao’s smiling eyes, he felt relieved. Just now, he almost thought that the girl was blaming him for being cruel. It seemed that he was overthinking. Sigh, no wonder people in love would lose their intelligence in novels. He probably did just now. Then, he smiled. “Even if we’re related by blood, she can’t bully you.”
Le Yao:
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d was getting better and better at sweet-talking.
“Let’s eat. The food here tastes quite good.” Nangong Jue picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up some food for Le Yao. “I’ll take you somewhere in the afternoon.”
Le Yao took a bite and suddenly looked up. “Nangong Meimei said that you were fired by the Corporation just now. What happened?”
Nangong Jue frowned slightly as his mind raced. What could he say to make her heart ache more for him?
Pretending to be pitiful? Saying that he would not have income in the future? Would that make the other party feel that he was incompetent?
Pretending that it didn’t matter? Saying that he had resigned and that he had more a.s.sets than the Nangong Group? Would that make her feel that he was too scheming?
In short, he was very conflicted.
Le Yao didn’t know what the man in front of her was thinking. Seeing

Even if you resign, you’ll be working for them. Why bother?” Back then, the book had said that this guy was good at stocks. Back then, he had stopped the Nangong Corporation from going bankrupt in the stock market.
Therefore, he would not starve to death no matter what.
Nangong Jue instantly looked up with bright eyes.
“Let’s eat.” Le Yao didn’t want to talk about this anymore. She lowered her head and began to eat. This was her first time eating Thai food, but it tasted really good. “Oh right, who were the other two girls?”
“The daughters of two small families.” Nangong Jue peeled prawns for Le Yao. “The purpose of currying favor with Nangong Meimei should be to rely on the Nangong Corporation.”
“Shouldn’t they be currying favor with Nangong Shuangshuang?”
“Shuangshuang is not someone that those kinds of girls can curry favor with. ”
Le Yao smiled. That was indeed the case.
After dinner, Nangong Jue brought Le Yao into the car.
“Where are we going?” Le Yao looked in the direction. Helpless, she wasn’t familiar with Beijing, so she didn’t know where they were going, but it looked like they were going to the suburbs.
“You’ll know when we get there.”
An hour and a half later, the car finally stopped at the entrance of a manor.
“Lan Garden?” Le Yao glanced at the words on the door and frowned slightly.
“Yes.” Nangong Jue nodded. “Let’s go in and take a look.”
When she walked into the Lan Garden, Le Yao was stunned. This was really a Lan GardenO. It was filled with orchids. She didn’t recognise many of them. At most, she recognized common ones like b.u.t.terfly orchids, crab claws, sword orchids, and so on. She didn’t know many of the others.
