Chapter 1378: Settle
Nangong Nuannuan glanced at the check but did not say anything. She continued to battle her sixth piece of pastry.
At this moment, the coffee and juice were served.
Already slightly tired, Nuannuan immediately wrapped her hands around the juice and gulped down a third of it.
The sour juice went down her stomach and balanced out the sweetness in her stomach. Nuannuan’s appet.i.te was instantly whetted and she continued her fight with the desserts.
She had lived in the Chi residence for so long, but she had never been to this club before. The desserts were exquisite, and Nuannuan decided to sign up for a members.h.i.+p before leaving later.
“You think it’s too little? Nangong Nuannuan, you should know that even though you’re the young miss of the Nangong family, the Nangong family doesn’t like you. 3,000,000 bucks are sufficient to sustain your lifestyle as a young miss. Don’t be a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Earning money is not as easy as you think.”
The check was there on the table. Nangong Nuannuan did not claim to accept it, nor did she say that she would not accept it. She was only focused on eating. At first, Zhou Ruxue thought that Nangong Nuannuan was considering it, but after waiting for her for so long, she realized that Nangong Nuannuan did not show any intentions of accepting as well. She looked like she was enjoying herself.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Zhou Ruxue took out another check from her purse. With a swish, she wrote another string of numbers and pushed it in front of Nangong Nuannuan.
“This is the most I can give you. Take it if you want. If you don’t, then forget it. Just don’t regret it when the time comes.”
Nangong Nuannuan glanced at the check. It said 7 million bucks. Including the previous 3 million, it was 10 million bucks.
Nangong Nuannuan raised an eyebrow and put down her spoon. Then, she put the checks worth ten million into her bag.
Seeing that Nangong Nuannuan had accepted the check so easily, Zhou Ruxue was rather surprised. Initially, the old madam pressured Zhou Ruxue in all ways, making her threaten Nangong Nuannuan instead. However, Zhou Ruxue was reluctant. She thought that no matter how unloved Nangong Nuannuan was, she was still the young miss of the Nangong family. What made anyone think Zhou Ruxue could threaten Nangong Nuannuan?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ruxue only said a few words before the girl accepted the checks so easily.
After receiving the checks, Nangong Nuannuan continued to eat her desserts. Although she still looked greedy, Zhou Ruxue found Nangong Nuannuan much more pleasing to the eye.
“Nangong Nuannuan, I hope that after you take the money, you’ll get everything done immediately. Do you understand what I mean?”
…
After a long while, Nangong Nuannuan continued to eat and did not reply.
Zhou Ruxue’s patience ran out. She slammed her hand on the table. “Nangong Nuannuan, what kind of att.i.tude is this? Did you hear what I said?”
The desserts were not big, to begin with. To Nuannuan, she could easily finish up one in three to four bites.
Therefore, when Zhou Ruxue slammed the table, Nangong Nuannuan had just finished her dessert.
She drank a few mouthfuls of juice.
Her heart was filled with satisfaction. The strawberry mousse was delicious. Nuannuan thought about bringing Lil Ling’er here to eat tomorrow. She was sure the little girl would like that.
After finis.h.i.+ng her cup of fruit juice, Nangong Nuannuan looked at Zhou Ruxue’s angry face and said, “Didn’t you say that I was rude and that I always have something to say after you? Why are you still shouting at me now that I’ve stopped talking?”
“But you should still answer my question!” Zhou Ruxue hissed through gritted teeth.
“Oh.” Nangong Nuannuan nodded.
“Did you hear what I just told you?”
“What did you just tell me?”
“I told you to get things settled as soon as possible after taking my money! I’ve made all the necessary arrangements for Chi Yang’s marriage. s.h.i.+ Yalin from the s.h.i.+ family is not someone a country b.u.mpkin like you can compare to. I would ver only acknowledge s.h.i.+ Yalin as my daughter.”
