Now that everyone was in the meeting room and there was no one in the lounge with him, Lan Weisong revealed an extremely ferocious expression.
“Miss Nangong, it’s not your fault that you’re young and naive, but I hope you won’t turn this win-win deal into a war.”
“Governor Lan, it’s good to be ambitious, but I advise you to look into your heart and find some kindness.”
“Since Miss Nangong insists, I have no choice but to report this matter to the s.h.i.+ family.”
“In that case, you can also tell the s.h.i.+ family that I only gave you an hour.”
“Hmph!”
Lan Weisong snorted coldlyand hung up the phone.
As the call was being hung up, Old Wu hurriedly said, “Nuannuan, I invited you here to treat Pingting’s illness. In the end, not only did you help me cure Pingting, but you also helped us find our family’s traitor and the evidence of my eldest son being wronged. You even helped us find our long-lost granddaughter. Your great kindness to our Wu family will never be forgotten during our lifetimes.
“But the s.h.i.+ family is nothing to scoff at. Lan Weisong is a member of the s.h.i.+ family, and they must know that he wants to become governor. He has already gotten so far, and the s.h.i.+ family must have helped him a lot. They’re definitely invested in his success, and they’re scary when they’re invested. If you allow the Nangong family and the s.h.i.+ family to go to war, our Wu family would have failed you.”
“That’s right, Nuannuan! You’ve already done a lot for our Wu family. We owe you more than we can ever repay. If we allow the Nangong family and the s.h.i.+ family to fight, we’ll really feel bad.” Wu Jingcheng firmly discouraged her.
However, Nangong Nuannuan merely smiled indifferently. “Don’t worry. The s.h.i.+ family won’t declare war on the Nangong family over their p.a.w.n Lan Weisong.”
How could she be so sure?!
Even though the Wu family was not situated in Emperor District, they were very clear on the relations.h.i.+p between the four great families there.
The s.h.i.+ family was the kind of family that would go all out for the slightest benefit. This was because the s.h.i.+ family had a complicated and messy history that they were intent on repairing.
It was precisely because of this that no matter what they did, they would go all out when it came to wars, which had earned them the reputation of being the second most powerful family among the four great families today.
Sea District was a very important district, and its governor would always be a very important man. It was unthinkable that the s.h.i.+ family would not put up a fight over this.
If they wanted a fight, Nangong Nuannuan was going to get dragged in.
If they went up against her, the Nangong family was bound to come out on top, but not without many wounds.
This could be described as a lose-lose situation.
“Lieutenant General Chi, please advise Nuannuan on this. If she continues, she’ll definitely get the Nangong family in trouble.”
Old Wu looked at Chi Yang, hoping that he would open his mouth and say a few words to persuade Nuannuan against this.
“Even for a girl, Nuannuan is too loyal. Since she sees us as friends, as her friends, we can’t allow her to do this. Lan Weisong has already threatened her. We can’t just stand by and watch Nuannuan and the s.h.i.+ family get into a war.”
Chi Yang glanced at Nuannuan, who was sitting beside him. His eyes filled with affection.
Chi Yang only said six words to ‘help’ Old Wu’s efforts and dissuasion…
“They can count me in too.”
The Wu family members, “…”
They knew that he was a man who doted on his wife, but there should be a limit to how much one could coddle their wife!
“Old Wu, did you hear that? My Big Brother Chi Yang has our backs. I don’t think the s.h.i.+ family will dare to go up against the Nangong family at all.”
