Chapter 888: Difficult
“Then… we won’t disturb you. Qianqian and I will take our leave first.”
When Gu Mingzhe said this, he actually hoped that the Old Master would retain them.
However, the old master merely nodded. “Safe trip.”
Zhong Qianqian and Gu Mingzhe were disappointed, but they had no choice but to reciprocate with a nod and leave.
“Alright, then. Grandfather Nangong, we’ll be leaving now.” Gu Mingzhe bowed slightly, took Zhong Qianqian’s hand, and left with her reluctantly.
Nangong Qin was dumbfounded. He did not understand why his father would chase his granddaughter out.
Even if he did not have a good impression of this granddaughter, she was still his closest relative. Things should not have turned out this way, should they?
Nangong Qin felt very embarra.s.sed. His heart ached for Nangong Yu’s daughter being chased out just like that. Thinking that he was the one who fetched her, he subconsciously stood up. “I’ll send you out.”
Nangong Renyi said, “Qin, come back soon. I have something to announce here.”
“Yes.”
After Nangong Qin sent Zhong Qianqian and Gu Mingzhe out, he consoled her. “Qianqian, you don’t have to worry. Your grandpa is like this. He’s always vigilant about things he isn’t sure about. You have to understand. After all, in that era, there were too many enemies and spies around him. This is a habit that he’s developed over the years. However, once he confirms it personally, he’ll definitely treat you very well.”
Zhong Qianqian and Gu Mingzhe finally breathed out a sigh of relief. Zhong Qianqian nodded. “Okay. Don’t worry, Second Uncle. I won’t take it to heart.”
“This will only take three to five days. Once it’s confirmed, the old master will come to you personally.”
Zhong Qianqian finally smiled. “Alright.”
Zhong Qianqian and Gu Mingzhe left. It was only when there was a significant distance between the car and the courtyard that Gu Mingzhe stopped the car at the side angrily and asked, “Zhong Qianqian, why do you always dig your own grave? Tell me, why did you provoke Nangong Xu and Nangong Ling for no reason? Didn’t I tell you that these two children are the treasures of the Nangong family? Especially Nangong Ling, the only daughter of the Nangong family. Why… why did you provoke her so easily? Do you know that if these two children don’t like you, it will be difficult for you to enter the Nangong family?”
Zhong Qianqian’s intestines were already green with regret. She pouted and said, “Back then, I thought they were poor children when I saw that they were saving even a packet of toilet paper. Who would’ve expected that it would be such a coincidence?”
She was also angry and felt that G.o.d was being unfair to her.
Who would have thought that the brats they had randomly b.u.mped into at the airport washroom would be the little princess of the Nangong family?
If she had known earlier, she would have accepted it even if they asked to wipe p.o.o.p on her.
Gu Mingzhe was utterly disgusted by Zhong Qianqian.
“Qianqian, there’s nothing else I can say. Since we’re in a mutually beneficial relations.h.i.+p, you should know that if the Nangong family doesn’t accept you, I’ll divorce you to protect the Gu family. So, what you should do and how you should go from now on is all up to you, understand? My loss will simply be having the label of ‘divorce’ on my household registration. I can use my connections to approach the Civil Affairs Department and get rid of that. However, you only have this one path. If the Nangong family doesn’t accept you, you can only return to Jiang District and continue living in your little family. My main point is your father has been arrested and Jiang Shuwan isn’t your biological mother. Your future now lies in between your choice to dig your own grave or otherwise. Get it?”
