“But yesterday’s guests were all basically blind!” Nan Mufeng’s brows turned cold.
How exactly did she get injured?
And why did she hide her injuries to attend the engagement ceremony?
After getting engaged, she thought about splitting up with him?
Isn’t that contradictory?
So many factors of curiosity filled his heart, attracting him to explore further.
Soon, someone came to open the door, and upon seeing Nan Mufeng, the gatekeeper Uncle Yang was startled, “Miss…
son-in-law?”
This address was…
fresh!
“Is Xiao Xi here?”
Before Nan Mufeng could speak, Grandpa Nan stepped forward and asked loudly.
His voice was booming, and though he was old, he still carried the demeanor of a military officer, full of vigor.
Uncle Yang hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, Old Mr.
Nan, son-in-law, please come in!”
…
Qiao Yonghui was preparing to go to his company when he saw Nan Family’s grandfather and grandson arrive, he immediately put down his briefcase, “Old Master Nan is here?
Please come in quickly!”
“Where’s Xiao Xi?”
“She’s still sleeping, she was tired out yesterday.” Qiao Yonghui accompanied his words with a warm smile, “Grandpa Nan, you haven’t had breakfast yet, right?
The kitchen has stewed bird’s nest with white fungus soup, how about drinking a bowl?”
“That’s something for women to eat!” Grandpa Nan huffed displeasedly, “Get Xiao Xi down here.
I came today to see her!
Why would she suffer such a serious injury without saying a word?
Why does she have to suffer in silence?”
The smile on Qiao Yonghui’s face stiffened, and trepidation drummed in his heart: Did these two really come to back up Jian Xi, as she said last night?
Qiao Jiaying had just opened the door to her room upstairs when she heard the noise below; shivering with fear, she quickly retreated: It’s over, they’ve come to settle the score with her!
“Old Master Nan, this is a misunderstanding.
Xiao Xi was careless with her driving and suffered some superficial skin injuries, it’s nothing serious…”
“Superficial skin injuries?
Blood soaked her dress!
Qiao Yonghui, is your daughter that worthless?” Old Master Nan sneered coldly, his presence commanding, “Is my Nan Family also cheap?”
“No, no, no, I said that so you wouldn’t worry…”
“I’m already worried.
Would I be here so early if I wasn’t?”
In a few sentences, Qiao Yonghui was rendered speechless.
Just as he was about to go upstairs to call for Jian Xi, Jian Xi had already come down.
Looking at the old man in the living room with a ruddy complexion, she felt a moment of daze.
Why worry about her?
“Girl, come here!” Grandpa Nan called her.
Jian Xi was still in a daze.
Grandpa Nan glared at Nan Mufeng, annoyed, “Boy, she’s injured and has difficulty walking, won’t you help her?”
Nan Mufeng walked over, extending a gentlemanly hand, his gaze automatically falling to her thigh, his brow furrowing.
The wound was not the point; the point was those two long white legs!
Her shorts were so short…
“No need, I’m fine.”
Jian Xi smiled faintly, walking towards Grandpa Nan.
The moment he saw the injury on her leg, Grandpa Nan’s heart ached immensely, “Girl, how did you get injured yesterday?
Don’t be afraid to speak up, now that you’re a daughter-in-law of the Nan Family, grandpa and Mufeng will both support you!”
Qiao Yonghui anxiously watched Jian Xi, fearing she would speak recklessly like she did the night before.
“You needn’t worry, it’s just a superficial skin injury.” Jian Xi ultimately gave the Qiao family members a break.
“An injury to the leg!
Your mother hopes you can continue to dance ballet; what if it results in lingering effects?”
Whenever Grandpa Nan got angry, his voice rose, even more thunderous and resonant, scaring Qiao Yonghui into sweating profusely.
The smile in Jian Xi’s eyes deepened, “Grandpa, I haven’t danced ballet for many years now!”
“Really?” Grandpa Nan was extremely surprised, “That’s such a pity, does your mother know?”
“My mother is lying in the hospital.
I want to tell her, but she can’t hear me.”
Grandpa Nan’s sharp gaze immediately turned towards Qiao Yonghui, “Do you know about this?”
