“The only reason you fell for the trap was that you were unaware that some people are willing to do anything for money. Plus, they were lucky before, so you fell for it. You don’t have to return the management fees that you deserve, but you still have to get back the money that is rightfully yours. As for your reputation, that will depend on the efforts you exert to get back the money. As long as you show enough dedication to my satisfaction, not only will your bank’s reputation not be damaged, but I’ll ensure that your prestige reaches great heights because of this matter. This is a double-edged sword. So, now we’ll see how you’ll utilize it.”
The bank staff was delighted and quickly thanked her. “Thank you for your understanding, Miss Nangong. We’ll do our best in handling this matter. Then… as for the hundred million bucks, do you have any intentions of receiving it?”
Nangong Nuannuan glanced at Zhong Qianqian, whose eyes were brimming with desperation, and smiled. “No need, I don’t lack money.”
Zhong Qianqian, “…”
Internally, she had already cursed Nangong Nuannuan’s eighteen ancestral generations. However, when she thought about how she would have no source of income in the future—she could no longer be part of the wealthy in Jiang District, let alone a first-tier wealthy family—she felt miserable.
No matter how much resentment she had, she had no choice but to kneel before Nuannuan and tried to incite Nuannuan’s pity because they were family, much like a beggar.
“Nuannuan, I know you’re the most considerate lady. You’re my younger sister, my biological younger sister! Even if you’ve become the precious daughter of the Nangong family, how can your relationship with the Nangong family compare to ours? We’re real sisters! You… you’re already so rich. Not only are you Duke Eton’s daughter, but you’re also the young miss of the Nangong family. All the glory in the world now belongs to you. You won’t abandon your elder sister, right? Yeah? Nuannuan, don’t abandon me, okay? Don’t abandon me. Dad’s in jail; Mom’s in jail. If you don’t care for me, no one else will! I already know that I’m wrong, so forgive me, please!”
Then, Zhong Qianqian reached for the hem of Nuannuan’s pants.
However, before she could reach, she was isolated by the Nangong family’s bodyguards.
“Move away, don’t touch our Young Miss!”
The bodyguards were already disgusted by Zhong Qianqian in the first place, so treating her rudely was within expectations.
Zhong Qianqian did not expect the b*tch, Zhong Nuannuan, to be so heartless. Her face was filled with disbelief as she wept tragically. “Nuannuan, how can you be so selfish? You have everything, and I’m just a mere ant to you. Why must you push me to the edge? Don’t you have any sympathy at all? We came from the same roots, so why are you in such a hurry to send me to my death? Can’t you help me for Dad’s sake? You don’t lack money anyway, so why can’t you let me take the leftover 1.8 billion? It’s not a big deal to you anyway. Why are you so stingy?”
Nangong Nuannuan could not be bothered to argue with her, but there was one thing she felt that White Lotus Qian should know.
“I’m doing this exactly for ‘Dad’s’ sake. Right, I forgot to tell you that I was the one who presented the evidence that sent Zhong Kuijun to jail—the evidence of his money laundering and hiding illegal firearms. That was what sent him to jail and why Cloud Group was seized.”
Zhong Qianqian widened her eyes in disbelief and pointed viciously at Zhong Nuannuan. “You… you… you demon!”
“Demon? Huh, that’s right. I’m a demon, to begin with. However, in the beginning, I honestly thought that even if I’m a demon, I can still treat my family well. So, I’d take the blame for you even though you’re super disgusting.”
