“Officer Shi, is there anything else you’d like to discuss? If there isn’t, I’ll hang up now.”
Shi Maowen felt that if he continued to talk to Nangong Nuannuan, he would soon explode and have to hang up himself, so he nodded begrudgingly and responded, “Goodbye, Miss Nangong.”
Nangong Nuannuan was in a good mood. She smiled as if she was on the phone with her best friend, nodded, and replied, “Okay, bye!”
She hung up.
“Hahahahaha!!!”
When Wu Pingting saw Nangong Nuannuan hang up the phone, she could no longer contain herself. She laughed so hard that she was floored.
Elder Wu, Wu Jingcheng, and Wu Jingmin were still shocked by Nangong Nuannuan’s words. They were shaking their heads in disbelief.
The Shi family, the most arrogant of the four first-class families, would put up with so much threatening from her.
It was no wonder that she was not at all afraid of offending the Shi family.
After all, the Shi family were no different from a grandson to her.
“Nuannuan, you’re simply amazing! Oh, I admire you so much!”
Upon saying this, Wu Pingting pounced over, wanting to give Nangong Nuannuan a loving bear hug and a kiss.
However, as she landed in front of Nangong Nuannuan, she had to immediately stop herself. This was because Chi Yang had stepped in Wu Pingting’s way to pull his wife into an embrace. He looked at her with an expression of indescribable possessiveness.
“Nuannuan, thank you so much for your help! If it weren’t for you, our Wu family wouldn’t have been able to overcome this difficult hurdle. Thank you!”
Elder Wu did not know how else he could express his gratitude to Nangong Nuannuan. He gave her a 90-degree bow.
Wu Jingcheng and Wu Jingmin did the same.
Wu Pingting and Wu Zongyang also quickly thanked Nangong Nuannuan again.
“You don’t have to be like this. How many times have you thanked me already?”
“No matter how many times we thank you, it still isn’t enough to show how grateful we are to you. Nuannuan, we’re extremely appreciative. If it weren’t for you, our Wu family would really have been done for. Okay, I won’t keep thanking you. Just know that since you’ve saved us from doom, if ever you need anything in the future, don’t hesitate to come to us. We’ll definitely do everything we can to help, even if that means giving up everything we have. Right, Grandpa?”
“Right, right! Pingting is right! Nuannuan, not only did you save our Wu family and our reputation, but you also saved Pingting and Jingzhong. You even prescribed some medicine to treat our Zongyang. Our Wu family has nothing but gratitude for you. We’re still standing because of you. Whatever you may need in the future, we will do everything we can to give it to you.”
Few people would be ever grateful enough to offer someone everything they owned. They would usually just say that they would fight to do their best to help someone, though it was difficult to know if these people would truly keep to their word if things really came to that.
Nuannuan believed that the Wu family were not such people. Even though the Wu family’s best efforts would barely be able to make a dent if she really were met with difficulties, she truly believed that they sincerely wanted to repay their gratitude. They were not ingrates.
Nangong Nuannuan smiled and responded, “Aren’t we friends? I’m Elder Wu’s friend, and Pingting and I will be classmates soon. And my Senior Sister’sfiance’s brother is my fiance, Big Brother Chi Yang. My relationship with the Wu family runs very deep.”
Looking at the time, Nangong Nuannuan then said, “Come on. let’s head to the administrative office to pick someone up.”
Elder Wu was stunned. “Things have just started to take a turn. It might take a while for him to be released, right?”
