After seeing the disgust and dislike in the woman’s eyes, Nuannuan disregarded the woman’s background and blurted out, “Madam, is there something wrong with your brain? Kidnapping isn’t as easy as you think. Do you seriously think I’d follow you just because you’ve asked me to?”
Upon hearing Nangong Nuannuan’s words, Lil Ling’er and Lil Sun, the two children who had been kidnapped before, hurried forward to hold Nuannuan’s hand tightly.
“Auntie, don’t go with her. She’s a bad person!”
“Is this 911? Someone here is trying to kidnap a woman.”
While Lil Ling’er was still trying to persuade Nuannuan not to wander around, Lil Sun was already calling the police.
After being rebuked by Nuannuan, the expression on the woman’s face darkened. When she heard Lil Sun call the police, her expression turned nasty.
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Ruxue, Chi Yang’s mother.”
Nangong Nuannuan lapsed into a momentary silence after hearing that.
As the two spaces on each of Nangong Nuannuan’s side was already occupied by the two little buns, Nangong Li walked toward Nuannnuan’s back and placed a hand on her shoulder as a sign of support.
“Ms. Zhou, long time no see.”
Zhou Ruxue frowned slightly. “Are you Nangong Li?”
Nangong Li smiled. “Exactly. May I know why Ms. Zhou is looking for my little sister?”
Nangong Yun and Nangong Zheng also walked to Nangong Nuannuan’s back. The three elder brothers stood in a fan formation and shielded their little sister within that protection.
Even though they knew that their little sister was somewhat fierce and would not be easily taken advantage of, this knowledge would not deter the three protective demons’ subconscious need to protect her.
Feeling the surging warmth from watching the three people behind her, Nuannuan was slightly touched.
Zhou Ruxue’s original dominance instantly weakened when the three men gathered together.
Initially, Zhou Ruxue thought that Nangong Nuannuan was nothing but a country bumpkin who was half of what she was supposed to be. Little did she expect Nangong Nuannuan to be protected by the Nangong family’s young masters.
“I heard that Chi Yang has a fiancée, so I came over to take a look. Why? Is there a problem with that?” Zhou Ruxue was once the daughter-in-law of the Chi family, after all. Therefore, she was not afraid of the descendants of the first-tier wealthy families. She was once the young lady of the Chi family, after all.
Nangong Li smiled. “That’s not a problem, of course. However… Ms. Zhou, it seems like you’re no longer the matriarch of the Chi family. Grandpa Chi has also publicly announced that he disowned you as Chi Yang’s mother. So, what identity are you using to meet my Nuannuan today? What do you plan to tell her?”
Although Nangong Li was smiling, his smile did not reach his eyes.
Zhou Ruxue was unhappy as well and said in a domineering tone, “What? Do I only have the right to speak to Nangong Nuannuan if I were married to the Chi family? Even if I’m no longer part of the Chi family, I’m still Chi Yang’s biological mother. I want to see Nangong Nuannuan and talk to her. Do you have any objections?”
Nangong Li wanted to continue protecting Nuannuan, but Nuannuan interrupted him.
“Ms. Zhou, where do you want to talk?”
Zhou Ruxue gave Nangong Nuannuan a condescendingly satisfied look and answered, “There’s a high-end club diagonally opposite this place. Let’s talk there.”
With that, she left without looking back.
“Nuannuan, let’s go. We’ll go with you. At most, we just won’t sit at the same table,” said Nangong Zheng.
Sensing the kindness from her three brothers, Nuannuan shook her head. “No need, don’t worry. I’ll leave after chatting with her for a while. I won’t lose out on anything.”
