“Nuannuan, how are my parents?”
Nangong Nuannuan shook her head. “Things aren’t looking great for them. The blockage in their brains is severe. If they don’t wake up within 24 hours, the possibility of them waking up ever is very low.”
“What?!”
Leng Jinjie and Leng Jinchen both cried out in shock. They did not expect things to turn out this way so suddenly.
“Miss Nuannuan, didn’t the hospital director say that he’ll only announce that they suffer from brain death if they didn’t wake up after 48 hours?” Leng Jinchen immediately walked over with an anxious and sad look on her face. Her earlier disdain for Nuannnuan disappeared without a trace.
Her son, Leng Qifeng, also hurried over to occupy the other empty space next to Nuannuan, in case Pei Jiaxiang—who truly intended to make his presence known to Nuannuan—came over and occupy this position.
Not only did Leng Qifeng occupy that space, he even said intimately, “That’s right, Nuannuan. Didn’t the hospital director say that the announcement of brain death could only be made after a 48-hour coma?”
“Nuannuan? Are you all close to her?” Leng Qirui was making sarcastic remarks at the side, angering Leng Qifeng so much that his face turned one shade darker.
“Lil Rui, is this the time to worry about this? Grandpa and Grandma are still in there, and we don’t know if they’re dead or alive. Can you shift your focus on that instead?”
“Since you know that this isn’t the main point either, why did you approach her and lick her boots after her identity as Miss Nangong? You guys are so pretentious. Are you worried about Grandpa and Grandma or are you just trying to flirt with Miss Nangong?” At this moment, Pei Jiaxiang stood on Leng Qirui’s side again.
After saying that, he looked at Nuannuan lovingly and said, “Miss Nangong, I apologize for making a fool out of myself in front of you.”
“That’s right. Other than Uncle Leng and Leng Qirui, your whole family is acting like clowns. It’s really amusing.” Nuannuan was so disgusted by this family that she did not even bother to brush them off.
“Uncle Leng, Grandfather Leng and Grandmother Leng aren’t doing well, so you should ready yourself. Grandpa and I will leave first.”
Leng Jinpeng nodded. “Alright.”
After saying that, Nuannuan turned around to support Old Master Chi by holding his arm. “Grandpa, let’s go.”
“Mm.”
Old Master Chi did not want to interact with anyone from the Pei family. Even if the two aunts from the Leng family kept wishing the Old Marshal a safe trip home, he ignored them.
Other than Leng Jinpeng, he did not like anyone else in the Leng family, the two oldest members of the Leng family included.
He had only come today to give Leng Jinpeng some face. Who knew that he would meet people from the Pei family.
How frustrating!
“Miss Nangong, I’ll send you off.”
Just as his frustration reached its peak, he saw Pei Jiaxiang chasing after them.
Thinking about what had happened to his son, Old Master Chi was furious. He pulled Nuannuan behind him like he was protecting his kin. He wanted to hit Pei Jiaxiang with his walking stick, but he realized that he no longer need to bring his walking stick around. His fist gripped onto nothing.
“Get lost!”
Just as Pei Jiaxiang was about to approach them, Old Master Chi suddenly unleashed his aura and let out a roar. Pei Jiaxiang was so frightened that he instantly froze on the spot. He lost control over his facial expression, revealing pure panic on his face.
“Old… Old Marshal, I… I just wanted to send you off!”
Why was the Old Marshal being so mean to him? Why must the Old Marshall tell him to get lost in such a terrifying manner?
To Pei Jiaxiang, the damnable old man stood in front of Miss Nuannuan and obstructed his romantic pursuit. How Pei Jiaxiang hated the old man.
“You from the Pei family, this is the first and last time I’m warning you. Nuannuan is the granddaughter-in-law of our Chi family. If you dare to have any ill intentions toward her, tell Lan Huifang that 20 years ago, I merely spared the Pei family on account of our last bit of kinship…”
