“However, I’m not someone who likes to trouble others. Therefore, I’ll reject anyone who has a crush on me immediately. I’ll never hinder someone from pursuing the joys of youth. Chairman Shi, you said that your daughter’s suitors can line up all the way to the city gate. She’s taking up so much of those talented young men’s time and enjoying the fruits of their pursuit, while never responding to their feelings. Won’t she feel guilty?”
Other than the people from the Four Dominant Families, there were also corporations from many second and third-tier wealthy families. Seeing Shi Maode and the Nangong family arguing, everyone pricked up their ears to listen.
If they listened to the beginning of the conversation, people might think that Nangong Nuannuan was indeed a halfway rich daughter from a wealthy family—she did not act like a socialite at all.
After listening to the later parts of the conversation, it was only later that they found out that Nangong Nuannuan and Chi Yang were engaged, and it was a military marriage. The military base had already agreed to it, but the Shi family still insisted on interfering with the military marriage by pushing Shi Yalin to Chi Yang.
Knowing this, everyone knew who was right and who was wrong.
Shi Maode realized that he could not win in this argument against Nangong Nuannuan and slander her with his words. He sneered and said, “Little Girl, in this world, strength speaks, not the men you’re married to.”
Nangong Nuannuan replied bluntly, “Yes, that’s why I feel that it’s necessary to have my own business. I wonder if Miss Shi is on the same page as Chairman Shi?”
“Hmph.” Shi Maode realized that he could not come up with any other retort. He could only snort coldly. “Then, I wish the Nangong family good luck in taking this piece of land.”
After saying that, he turned around, refusing to be snubbed anymore. However, deep down, he agreed with his daughter’s plan to hire someone to kill this woman.
This woman was definitely not easy to deal with. Leaving this woman behind would only bring trouble.
Therefore, since she did not die this time, he would do it himself next time.
After Shi Maode was defeated, he no longer spoke to the two brats of the Nangong family and turned his head away.
After a while, the people from the bidding agency arrived.
“Alright, please take your seats.”
After saying this, Nangong Nuannuan stood up from Nangong Yun’s side.
Her action confused everyone. The bidding was about to start, so why was she still standing up?
In the end, everyone’s gaze followed Nangong Nuannuan as she traveled halfway across the venue before sitting down at a seat far away from Imperial Palace Group.
When the staff saw this, they immediately set up a place card on it.
“I’m sorry. When I saw you sitting there, I thought you wouldn’t come over. This is your place card.”
Nangong Nuannuan nodded and shifted her focus back on the staff of the bidding agency. It was then that everyone realized that Nangong Nuannuan was not attending the auction with Nangong Yun. She was not representing Imperial Palace Group either—she was representing Tianheng Holdings.
Those from the Nangong and Shi families who already knew about Nuannuan’s identity were naturally not too surprised. However, those who were not familiar with Nuannuan and only knew that she was the precious daughter of the Nangong family were extremely shocked when they saw her sitting on the seat of Tianheng Holdings as she represented Tianheng to bid. They all wanted to ask Nangong Nuannuan what her relationship with the mysterious Tianheng Holdings was.
However, the people participating in the bidding today were all the bigshots from various corporations.. After all, their investment this time was estimated to be around forty billion. Since Nangong Nuannuan was able to represent Tianheng Holdings to participate in the bidding, did that mean that… Nangong Nuannuan was one of the higher-ups in Tianheng Holdings, or even one of their chairpeople?
