1377: Compensation

Compensation

The kind couple had a daughter named Lan Huifang, and naturally, that made her Grandpa Chi's younger sister.2

After raising the siblings for a few years, the couple was beaten to death by an enemy when they were out. Grandpa Chi then brought his sister, Lan Huifang, to join the military.

Grandpa Chi worked hard and eventually became a general. Lan Huifang also went from being an ordinary medic to a senior professor who possessed the military rank of major general.

After Lan Huifang married the leader of the Pei Family, she benefited a lot from Grandpa Chi to strengthen the Pei family. Later on, as she became more and more unscrupulous, she did many things with Grandpa Chi's name outside the house.

Since Lan Huifang was his younger sister, Grandpa Chi would only lecture her before silently cleaning up the mess.

However, Grandpa Chi's preaching failed to make Lan Huifang restrain herself at all. Instead, she became even more aggressive in her pursuits and turned the insignificant Pei family into a second-tier wealthy family.

Until 20 years ago, Zhou Ruxue remarried immediately after Chi Yang's father, Chi Zehao, died in battle. She could have married anyone but she went with Lan Huifang's eldest son instead. Grandpa Chi finally thought he had enough and cut ties with Lan Huifang.

Nangong Nuannuan did not know what Big Brother Chi Yang's mother was thinking. Even if she wanted to remarry, she should not be shitting where she ate, right?

Therefore, Nangong Nuannuan decided what kind of stance she should have toward Zhou Ruxue's sarcasm after thinking about Grandpa Chi's attitude and Big Brother Chi Yang's refusal to talk about his mother.

She would never live under the same roof as Zhou Ruxue in the future anyway, so it was fine to offend her.

Zhou Ruxue had yet to return to her senses after Nuannuan rebuked her. When she did, she was furious.

Seeing Nangong Nuannuan enjoying her food so leisurely, Zhou Ruxue smirked. "Do you think you can act so brazenly in front of me just because they've acknowledged you?"

"I'm not being brazen in front of you, Ms. Zhou. When have I talked back to you?"

"Aren't you talking back to me now? Every time I say something, you say something back. When I said Chi Yang has bad taste, you retorted with how my dad and that homeless man he picked up like you."

Nangong Nuannuan glanced at Zhou Ruxue and continued eating her cake.

She wore a lot of clothes in winter and was hungry after the snowball fight.

"Nangong Nuannuan, I don't want to feign civility with you either. I'm here today to tell you one thing. As Chi Yang's biological mother, I won't allow you to stay together with Chi Yang. Therefore, you should cancel the engagement immediately."

…

Zhou Ruxue waited for a long time, but Nangong Nuannuan did not say anything. Nangong Nuannuan did nothing but eat her cakes; she had already finished three cakes during the brief conversation. As she started to eat the fourth cake, a look of intense disdain appeared in Zhou Ruxue's eyes.

A country bumpkin would be a country bumpkin. Even after becoming the Nangong family's young miss, she still could not escape acting like a country bumpkin.

Which socialite would only focus on eating cake at such a social event? Had she not eaten good food in eight hundred lifetimes?

It seemed like the Nangong family did not treat her well either!

Otherwise, she would not be such a glutton.

Instantly, Zhou Ruxue looked down on Nangong Nuannuan even more.

After waiting for a long time, Zhou Ruxue watched Nangong Nuannuan battle with her desserts without giving her a response. Zhou Ruxue knew what this woman was waiting for.

She fished out a check from her purse, wrote a string of numbers on it, and pushed it in front of Nangong Nuannuan's face.

"This is my compensation to you."
