Chapter 704: Truce
As she echoed her elder brother… Wait, no, younger brother, she said, “That’s right! We’re no longer children. Don’t follow us wherever we go. I’ll protect Lil Sun.”
Lil Sun could not take it anymore. He berated Lil Ling’er angrily, “Nangong Ling, how many times have I told you not to call me Lil Sun?!”
“You are Lil Sun! Mommy named you Lil Sun!”
Seeing that the siblings were about to argue ceaselessly over this matter again, the butler who was in charge of bringing the two little troublemaking fellows hurried forward. “Little Young Master, Little Miss, Eldest Young Master and Eldest Madam are still waiting for you at home. Little Young Master, I heard that Young Master got you a new Chengdu J-20 model to celebrate your return.”
Nangong Xu’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
“That’s right!” The butler nodded happily. Then, he looked at Nangong Ling and said, “Little Miss, I heard that to reward you, Eldest Young Master bought five new bags of cotton candy for you.”
Then, he added, “I heard they’re all strawberry-flavored.”
“Really?” Nangong Ling’s eyes lit up as she gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
The butler nodded happily.
“Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry back!”
“Yeah, let’s go back quickly!”
“Hahaha, alright, alright, let’s go!”
After that, the butler accompanied the two little children and led the group of people out grandly.
Since they were all walking through the VIP pa.s.sageway, Gu Mingzhe, who was still waiting for Zhong Qianqian, saw the twins and recognized them at a glance.
In his excitement, Gu Mingzhe hurriedly walked forward, attempting to greet the little young master and little princess of the Nangong family and leave a good impression.
After all, the Gu family could not last much longer under Selina’s threat. If not for the Huang family’s support, the Gu family would have been on the verge of bankruptcy at this point.
Therefore, he might immediately bring Zhong Qianqian to reunite with the Nangong family.
Meanwhile, in this generation of the Nangong family, only the eldest grandson of the Nangong family, Nangong Jing, had a pair of twins. Furthermore, they were the one and only pair of fraternal twins. The other five grandsons had yet to give birth to any children. Therefore, this pair of twins, especially the little girl between the twins, was simply a proud daughter of heaven—all the elders in the Nangong family doted on her.
For some reason, even though the Nangong family was thriving in population, there were very few female members in the family. It seemed like only one girl would be born in every generation.
This was the case with Qianqian’s mother, Nangong Yu. Old Master Nangong had three sons, but he had only one daughter—Nangong Yu.
After that, the three sons got married and gave birth to six sons. There was not a single girl. Only Nangong Yu gave birth to Zhong Qianqian.
Now that Nangong Jin finally gave birth to a pair of fraternal twins, the Nangong family naturally treated the little princess, Nangong Ling, as the most revered member of the family.
If he could gain Nangong Ling’s favor, if Zhong Qianqian gained power in the future and chose to divorce him, he believed that as long as Nangong Ling gave the word, the entire family would definitely stand on his side.
Yes, Gu Mingzhe knew Zhong Qianqian’s personality very well. Not only was this woman brainless and stupid, but she was also ambitious, evil-hearted, and had a huge appet.i.te for power. Once she rose ahead and transformed into a phoenix, he would most likely face divorce if n.o.body could stop her.
Therefore, before bringing Zhong Qianqian back to the Nangong family, he had to think of a way to stabilize his status as the Nangong family’s grandson-in-law.
