“Nuannuan, this woman has been completely abandoned by Grandpa Chi. Because of her, Grandpa Chi has publicly cut off all ties with the Pei family. If she says anything unpleasant to you, you can just retort the same way you did just now.”
Nuannuan smiled. “I understand. Don’t worry. I’m leaving.”
The three nodded.
Nuannuan squatted down and patted Lil Ling’er and Lil Sun’s heads. “Don’t worry, Auntie won’t get bullied. Auntie is a very powerful person.”
Only when Nangong Nuannuan showed them her fist did the two little buns relax.
“Auntie, if she bullies you, remember to call us. We’ll come and save you immediately.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, Nuannuan bade everyone farewell and walked towards the cafe diagonally across the road.
The waiter brought Nuannuan into a private room. Zhou Ruxue had already ordered her drink.
Zhou Ruxue passed the menu to Nangong Nuannuan and said in a patronizing tone, “Order whatever you want.”
Nuannuan flipped the drinks menu open. A glass of orange juice cost 120 bucks—perfectly priced for a club.
“One caramel latte, one orange juice, five Napoleons, five tiramisus, and five strawberry mousse.’
Zhou Ruxue nearly choked as she elegantly took a sip of water. She could not help but ask, “Miss Nangong Nuannuan, can you finish all the food you ordered?”
Nangong Nuannuan looked surprised. “Didn’t you ask me to order whatever I want? If that’s the case, I’ll just have a caramel latte. Thank you.”
The waiter was originally very happy about the big bill before hearing Nuannuan retracting her orders. Disappointed, the waiter glanced at Zhou Ruxue. The meaning in his eyes could not be any clearer. ‘If you don’t have the money, how dare you try to show off here?’
Zhou Ruxue was angered by his stare and said, “I told you to order whatever you want, but I didn’t say that you can order takeaways.”
Nangong Nuannuan blinked and said, “I have no intention of ordering them as takeaways.”
“…” Noticing Nangong Nuannuan’s glib tongue without showing any proper etiquette and manners that she should have for an elderly, Zhou Ruxue hated Nangong Nuannuan even more. She laughed coldly and said, “Right, then I’d like to see you finish these desserts.”
She then turned to the waiter. “Order what she wants.”
The coffee had to be made, but the desserts were readymade, so they were quickly served.
Nuannuan glanced at Zhou Ruxue. “Are you eating?”
Zhou Ruxue said coldly, “I don’t eat desserts.”
Nangong Nuannuan nodded and said, “It’s right not to eat dessert. People who gain weight easily have higher chances of getting diabetes in their old age. It’d be bad if their internal organs fail, their wounds fester so much that amputation is needed, and having their cornea falling off.”
Zhou Ruxue’s eyes widened into a glare. “.…” Was this girl indirectly saying that she was fat? That she was old?
Damn it!
“What a sharp-tongued girl. It seems like Chi Yang has quite a bad taste in girls, after all.”
Nangong Nuannuan shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. “However, Big Brother Chi Yang, Grandpa Chi, and Second Uncle Chi all agree that I’m wonderful.”
Previously, Nuannuan noticed how much Grandpa Chi disliked the Pei family through his interaction with Leng Jinjie. He nearly got violent when he saw Pei Jiaxiang offering to send Nuannuan off.
After coming out of the hospital, Nuannuan immediately sent someone to investigate the Pei family in detail and secretly found out some information.
Old Master Chi was an orphan. During the earliest part of his most difficult years, a kind couple adopted him when he was about to starve to death. He then acknowledged them as his parents.
