As soon as Old Master Chi got out of the car, he saw the person he least wanted to see—Madam Pei, also known as Lan Huifang. In an instant, his face, which previously had on an amicable expression, fell. However, remembering that the Shi family and the Pei family were in-laws, he did not say anything.
Silence.
Old Master Shi calmed down the turmoil in his heart. Only then did he force a smile and greet Old Master Chi. “The old marshal has finally graced our Shi family with his presence!”
Old Master Chi took a look at the Shi family’s huge manor-style villa, which was much wider than the Nangong family’s. He could not help but laugh. “If this is considered an honor, then you must think our family home is the size of a country.”
“Hahaha, the old marshal has got to be kidding! I said that because your granddaughter-in-law is truly a very capable person. Whatever one learns, one becomes. Whatever one does, one also becomes. Compared to your granddaughter-in-law being the chairman of the Imperial Phoenix Group, one of the world’s top three super corporations, my Shi family is nothing. If I had such a powerful granddaughter or granddaughter-in-law, I would think I was dreaming.”
Hearing Old Master Shi praise his granddaughter-in-law, Old Master Chi felt a little better. When he saw Nuannuan get out of the car and stand hand-in-hand with Chi Yang, his mood instantly improved.
The past was over.
Although his son had not met a good woman, at least his grandson had.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him and Nuannuan, as their junior, Chi Yang still needed to greet them.
Thus, he nodded slightly at Old Master Shi and greeted him, “Grandpa Shi.”
Nuannuan also obediently greeted him. “Hello, Grandpa Shi.”
“Hahahaha, hello, hello! Chairman Nangong, although today’s banquet is to celebrate my granddaughter’s success, she is, after all, only in second place. Chairman Nangong won first place, so I want to congratulate you.”
Nangong Nuannuan smiled. “Thank you.”
When Grandma Pei saw Nangong Nuannuan, her expression turned ugly.
She had always wanted to marry her granddaughter, Shi Yalin, to Chi Yang. However, she did not expect Chi Yang to get engaged to Nangong Nuannuan before he even got together with Shi Yalin.
Therefore, even if her brother was here to congratulate Nangong Nuannuan, she could not help but want to sneer at her.
However, before she could say anything, she heard Old Master Shi say that Nangong Nuannuan was the chairman of the Imperial Phoenix Corporation.
She thought she had heard him wrongly. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Old Master Shi say that Nangong Nuannuan was chairman of the world’s top three super corporations.
Old Master Shi also respectfully addressed her as the chairman of the board.
Therefore, even if she did not want to believe it, Grandma Pei, also known as Lan Huifang, had no choice but to believe. Not only was Nangong Nuannuan the daughter of the Nangong family, but she was also the chairman of the Imperial Phoenix Corporation, one of the world’s top three super corporations.
“Big Brother, is this Chi Yang’s fiancee, Nuannuan?”
Lan Huifang’s face, which had gone sour when she first saw Nangong Nuannuan, immediately warmed when she heard about her identity.
She did want to marry her granddaughter, Shi Yalin, to Chi Yang. However, her granddaughter was now saying that she did not want to marry Chi Yang anymore. This time, not only was Chi Yang not cooperating, but neither was Shi Yalin! Grandma Pei could not marry him herself, right?
Now that she knew that Nangong Nuannuan was the chairman of the Imperial Phoenix Group, Lan Huifang felt that as long as she could ease relations with her big brother, the Imperial Phoenix Group could eventually come under her control.
