Chapter 1355 - 1372: I Will Make You Pay
This whole matter, it wasn’t Young Master’s doing!
Nangong Yaoling reached out and embraced Xiaonuan.
"Xiaonuan, don’t cry. Maybe it’s better for her to have some time alone." The man lowered his head and kissed her forehead, speaking in a hoarse voice.
Liang Shaochen looked at Xiaonuan in Nangong Yaoling’s arms and slightly turned away.
Nangong Zhongli glanced at Liang Shaochen, then at Xiaonuan, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Xiaonuan came to her senses, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and said softly, "I’m okay, it’s just that I’m worried about her."
"Rest assured. Since Qi Yue expressed the desire to be alone, I think she won’t do anything foolish. We need to give her some time," Liang Shaochen said.
Xiaonuan nodded.
"I must... must find the culprit and avenge Qi Yue." Xiaonuan clenched her fists as she spoke.
After speaking, she couldn’t help but raise her eyes, her gaze lightly sweeping over Nangong Zhongli.
In this world, the only person who wants to harm her and Qi Yue should be Nangong Zhongli.
If this matter is really related to her, she won’t tolerate it like she did before!
Liang Shaochen cast a complex glance at Xiaonuan, a flicker flashing in his eyes.
Nangong Yaoling said, "Xiaonuan, let’s go back. Don’t worry, I’ll have someone investigate that side. If anyone is trying to defame me, Nangong Yaoling, by harming Qi Yue’s child, I will make them regret it!" He then looked at Liang Shaochen.
"Shaochen, who do you think is trying to frame me in this matter?"
Liang Shaochen smiled and said, "Young Master, considering your status and position, if someone dared to frame you, they must have the audacity of a lion. Even if you don’t investigate, I will continue to pursue the matter. After all, Qi Yue’s incident happened under my watch."
Nangong Yaoling stared at him for a few seconds, the corner of his lips curling into a smile.
Xiaonuan looked at Nangong Zhongli and said, "I suddenly want to go to the restroom. Zhong Li, would you accompany me?"
Nangong Zhongli looked at Xiaonuan and smiled, nodding, "Alright!"
"Brother, Shaochen, we’ll be right back."
"Alright."
Xiaonuan and Nangong Zhongli began walking toward the restroom.
Xiaonuan turned around, noticing the distance between them had increased.
Hesitating to speak up, Nangong Zhongli said, "What? Is there something you want to say? Xiaonuan, it’s truly unfortunate that your friend went through this. You just had a miscarriage, now Qi Yue... It seems you two good sisters are really down on luck."
Xiaonuan’s face turned a bit pale. She reached the corner and stopped, looking at Nangong Zhongli’s gloating expression as she said:
"I will certainly get to the bottom of this. Nangong Zhongli, I know you hate me. The harm you’ve inflicted on me before, I can overlook, but if I find out that Qi Yue’s lost child is connected to you, this time, I won’t let it go."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Zhongli’s face changed.
"Xia Xiaonuan, don’t make false accusations. Do you think if I wanted to harm Qi Yue’s child, I would wait until now?
Moreover... what if you don’t let it go? I am Nangong Zhongli. Xia Xiaonuan, what does the Xia Family amount to now?
You’re nothing but parasites living off our Nangong Family. Your Xia Family’s company has to rely on my brother for management.
What do you have? You have nothing!" As Nangong Zhongli spoke, his eyes widened, carrying an expression of disdain and contempt, as if lecturing a subordinate.
Xiaonuan knows that to Nangong Zhongli, she is utterly insignificant.
