Moreover, based on the president’s trust in the Chi family and his support for the military financial expenditures every year—especially in Eagle—anyone could tell how important the Chi family was.
For such a man to come so close to becoming the Hong family’s son-in-law, how could someone else beat them to it?
After the Hong family received Hong Feixu’s call, they spared no effort in asking around.
They knew that Chi Yang had been previously sent to Jiang District, so they immediately called someone in Jiang District to ask about the situation.
However, there were not many people in Jiang District who knew about Chi Yang. Even if they did, there were not many who knew about Nangong Nuannuan’s true identity. Those who knew were all from the upper echelons—they knew all about Chi Yang and Nangong Nuannuan’s incredible identities that could blow up the universe.
Simultaneously, the same group of people received orders that they were not allowed to privately pass on the knowledge of the Nangong family’s little princess’ identity.
Who could afford to offend the Nangong family?
Therefore, the Hong family could only obtain some information about Nangong Nuannuan from testing whatever little water there was.
Even those gossip entertainment and tabloid companies did not care to assert control over those who made inaccurate reports, so one could only imagine how far-fetched the information the Hong Family received was.
In the end, the information that the Hong family could provide Hong Feixu was that Chi Yang’s girlfriend was called Zhong Nuannuan. She was kidnapped by human traffickers at the age of three and returned home at the age of 17.
However, this woman was a classic example of someone with a strong will to live yet she would bring calamity to everyone around her.
After getting abducted when she was three years old, the Zhong family became a powerful family in Jiang District. When she returned to the Zhong family ay 17, Cloud Group was seized, her parents were arrested, and her elder sister went to Emperor District. It was said that the sister suffered a tragic ending. After getting rejected by a wealthy family, she had a miscarriage.
Hong Feixu could not believe her ears.
“Mom, why would Big Brother Chi Yang accept such a person? Is he nuts?”
Madam Hong’s cold harrumph came from the other end of the phone. “The Chi family has decided to wither away. Now, other than Old Master, Chi Yang’s the only bud left in the family. Old Master Chi wants Chi Yang to get married so badly because he wants the Chi family to have more descendants, not because he wants the Chi family to be completely wiped out.”
“Mom, then what should I do now? I don’t want to speak ill of Big Brother Chi Yang in front of the old marshal. The old marshal is such a smart old man. Even if he doesn’t accept Zhong Nuannuan, he’ll consider me too.”
“How about this? Mom found out that this Zhong Nuannuan came to Emperor District because she won first place in the joint examination in Jiang District. She came here for training and is about to go to Yamato to participate in a competition. Therefore, we don’t have to alarm Chi Yang first. For a rich daughter from a backward city like that, we can send her off with 10 million bucks.”
However, there was silence on the other end.
Hong Feixu said, “Why should we give her 10 million? What’s the difference between giving her 10 million and a million for a country bumpkin like her?”
“Xu’er, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you usually carry yourself well in front of Chi Yang? Chi Yang is such an outstanding man. How is it possible for him to not be surrounded by women in the future? If a woman like this can threaten you into losing your resolve, then how are you going to stand by his side in the future?”
Hong Feixu returned to her senses as well. She secretly despised her fragile mental strength and replied, “Mom, I understand. I’ll get along with Big Brother Chi Yang.”
“That’s right. You should visit the old marshal during the weekend.”
“Okay.”
Nangong Nuannuan was not aware that she had once again been treated as a country bumpkin. She was also unaware that this person not only treated her as a country bumpkin but also wanted to steal her sweet pumpkin.
