Chapter 1375 - 1392: I Don’t Want to See You Again
"What did you say?" Bang! A teacup crashed heavily onto the table.
Nangong Jinlie trembled all over, pointing a finger at Nangong Zhongli: "Are you saying that you caused the deaths of Ling’er and Xiaonuan’s child?"
Nangong Zhongli shivered with fear, quickly ran to Nangong Jinlie, and knelt down hugging his leg.
"Grandpa... it wasn’t like that!" Nangong Zhongli looked at Nangong Jinlie nervously:
"That wasn’t Young Master’s child! Maybe it was... Situ Yan’s... Xia Xiaonuan isn’t the original Xiaonuan, she is Qiqi! She smuggled herself with another man, haven’t you heard about it? So... that wasn’t..."
"Clap—!"
Nangong Jinlie trembled all over, suddenly raised his hand and slapped Nangong Zhongli across the face.
Nangong Zhongli screamed and fell onto the carpet.
Her left cheek immediately showed a swollen red finger mark.
"Scoundrel!" Nangong Jinlie pointed at her with a trembling finger, shaking all over, breathing heavily: "You... what have you done!? What are you saying? How did such a malicious woman come into our Nangong Family!?"
Tears streamed out of Nangong Zhongli’s eyes, she crawled before Nangong Jinlie, crying.
"Grandpa, it’s not, it’s not like that!"
The housekeeper was terrified, stepped forward to soothe the old master’s back, and whispered, "Master, don’t rage! Don’t rage... Your heart isn’t well..."
"Grandpa... I know I was wrong! But she forced me to! She forced me to! Besides... she’s not the former Xiaonuan, if you don’t believe it, you can ask her yourself... Grandpa!"
Nangong Zhongli cried out, her lips trembling, pleadingly looking at Nangong Jinlie.
Nangong Jinlie pointed at her, wanting to speak, suddenly covered his chest with his hand, his face white like a sheet of paper.
The housekeeper’s face changed, shouted out: "Master!" He quickly stood up, hurried to the side table, grabbed a medicine bottle and opened it with trembling hands.
"Grandpa! Are you alright!" Nangong Zhongli screamed.
Nangong Jinlie’s eyes widened, looking at the medicine bottle, watching the housekeeper put the medicine to his lips, that pungent fragrance of the pill wafted into his nose, making his chest chill slightly, he quickly opened his lips and swallowed.
After about a minute, he finally regained his senses, clutching his chest, looking at Nangong Zhongli.
"Get out... I don’t want to see you!" he yelled, trembling.
"Grandpa, listen to me... You..."
"Miss Zhong Li, the old master needs to rest now, I’ll call the doctor to examine him later, you should return first!" The housekeeper frowned, helplessly advised with good intentions.
Nangong Zhongli knelt on the ground, her blurry vision watched the housekeeper support Nangong Jinlie upstairs until they faded from sight.
Nangong Zhongli supported the table and got up from the floor.
Her eyes showed a trace of panic and confusion, but soon, that panic and confusion were replaced by a firm gaze.
She knows, after all, she is Nangong Zhongli.
She is, after all, the Nangong family’s child.
What does Xia Xiaonuan count for?
That woman... If she’s not Xia Xiaonuan, she means nothing to grandpa!
She picked up the blue Hermes leather bag in the corner of the sofa, clenched her fist, her bloodshot eyes widened, and staggered out the door.

Early the next morning, Xiaonuan received a call from Shaochen.
The item was obtained.
