Chapter 632: Nuannuan’s Bottom Line
“If you were Chi Yang or his grandfather, what kind of girl would you choose to be your wife and granddaughter-in-law? Isn’t that obvious?
“Previously, I heard that Chi Yang was uninterested in women, and he treated all the women who tried to hook up with him like germs that he needed to get rid of. That’s the reason I haven’t been expressing my love for him. I’ve only been trying my best to become his friend so that I can get closer to him. If he never marries, I’ll stay with him like this for the rest of my life. However, since he’s a normal person who is capable of being close to women, why should I give up on such an outstanding man and let a girl who has nothing under her name stain him?”
“That’s true!” The woman beside her nodded and replied, “However, according to my father, Deputy Commander-in-chief w.a.n.g of the military base wanted to matchmake Chi Yang and Deputy Governor Ou’s daughter, Ou Mingxi. In the end, Chi Yang and his fiancée worked together to land him in the justice department of the military base. Now, he can’t even come out. Such a powerful Deputy Commander-in-chief in the military base will never be able to make a comeback because of such a small matter. Deputy Governor Ou has also been arrested. If you do this, will you fail to get him and end up presenting yourself on a silver platter instead?”
Ling Pinyuan sneered and asked instead of answering, “Do you know why they were sent in?”
“Why?”
“Because they stepped on Chi Yang’s bottom line, and they have extended their hands too far. I believe that if anyone can be respectful to Chi Yang when introducing a girlfriend to him, even if he doesn’t like her, he would at most reject her and not push her to her death, right? However, Deputy Commander-in-chief w.a.n.g tried to pressure Chi Yang into accepting her. To be honest, before we even consider the resolute and unyielding Chi Yang, even if I liked that person, I wouldn’t have agreed.
“As for Deputy Governor Ou’s side, I heard that Ou Mingxi was the one who attacked Chi Yang’s fiancée first. Chi Yang is such a powerful man. How could he bear to see his girlfriend get hurt?”
“So, the two of them deserve it. As Chi Yang’s direct subordinate, I’ve carried out three missions with him in the past six months. Our relations.h.i.+p is fundamentally different. Besides, Zhong Nuannuan has no chance of winning when she stands next to me. She’s not worth making a move on. How can he harm me for over-extending my reach? If Zhong Nuannuan is really a capable person, then compete with me fairly. If I lose, I’ll give Chi Yang to her.”
“How could you lose? Sigh, Zhong Nuannuan is asking for it! If it were me, I would’ve just left Chi Yang, lest I get slapped in the face.”
Ling Pinyuan’s lips pouted high, and her eyes were filled with utter confidence that she would win without a fight. It was as if she was already the victor.
As Zhong Nuannuan listened to the conversation between the two women, she completely ignored all the nonsense about fair compet.i.tion.
Chi Yang was hers!
This woman actually dared to covet her man and even wanted to embarra.s.s her. It was unforgivable.
Therefore, unbeknownst to Ling Pinyuan, her words crossed Zhong Nuannuan’s bottom line. It was also because of her words that the Ling family lost an unimaginable amount of wealth that they could not afford to lose.
Just as the viciousness in Zhong Nuannuan’s eyes nearly seeped out, she suddenly someone patting her arm. She turned to look at the old master, only to see him whispering to Zhong Nuannuan…
