Zhong Qianqian was annoyed by Gu Mingzhe’s words and wanted to retort. However, she still needed Gu Mingzhe, so she could only remain silent.
However, when she thought about how big the Nangong family was in the inner ring, how beautiful the mansion was, and how everyone living in the mansion was the elites of Camino, Zhong Qianqian’s fighting spirit soared.
Meanwhile, at the Nangong family, Nangong Jin looked at Lil Sun with a gloomy face.
“Nangong Xu, do you think what you did was right?”
Lil Sun was not afraid of his father at all. “Why not? What’s wrong? Do we have to pretend to be courteous insincerely even if we don’t like her?”
Lil Ling’er, who was snuggling in her great-grandfather’s arms, looked at her big brother and said in a crisp voice, “curtsy sincerely? It’s clearly her fault. It’s her fault for lying. What sincerity does she have? Why should we curtsy?”
“…” Lil Sun was speechless at this useless teammate he had here.
The Nangong family members covered their mouths and tried hard not to laugh.
Nangong Jin was dismayed. Without lecturing his daughter, he continued to lecture his son. “However, she’s most likely our relative and your aunt. Once Great-grandfather confirms this, we’ll definitely bring her back. If she’s related to us by blood and is really your aunt, are you going to face her with such an attitude all the time? Nangong Xu, although you’re still a child, being willful isn’t a child’s privilege. When she joins the Nangong family, you must put away your dislikes, do you hear me?”
“Daddy is a bad guy!”
Nangong Jin was talking to Lil Sun, but Lil Ling’er was the one who was put on edge. She roared and stomped upstairs.
“Lil Ling’er!”
Lil Sun called her name and quickly ran after her, ignoring their annoying father.
After the two little kids had gone upstairs, Nangong Renyi lectured, “Jin, don’t be too harsh on Xu’er. He’s a sensible child, and he has his own view of life, along with the ability to discern evil. If you choose to interfere with this, will you be glad if he really becomes the kind of person who will smile at others and flatter others even if he dislikes them? Earlier, since your Xu’er and Lil Ling’er were here, I didn’t butt in. However, I’m now telling you that you’ve crossed a line.”
As a major general in the military base, Nangong Jin admired Nangong Renyi very much. Thus, he nodded and hurriedly said, “Yes, I’ll pay attention in the future. But Grandpa, I believe that Second Uncle won’t make any mistakes when it comes to blood relations. Since Qianqian’s blood is similar to all of us, it means that she’s indeed Aunt’s daughter. Although she’s full of lies and won’t hesitate to frame children in to save her reputation, that’s probably caused by many years of bad upbringing. If she returns to the Nangong family, we can reteach her our ways…”
Nangong Jin could not continue.
After all, he was already 32 years old. He understood that a leopard could never change its spots.
Furthermore, once a person’s values, morals, and worldview were formed, it was basically impossible to change them.
Old Master Nangong stopped arguing with him. Under his scrutiny, Nangong Jin found himself unable to continue.
However, Sixth Brother, Nangong Ze, was still grumbling, “No matter how bad she is, she’s still our younger sister!”
When Nangong Renyi saw how happy and protective—but also conflicted—this family was when they heard that Yu’er’s daughter had returned, he felt very gratified. He did not plan on withholding the truth from everyone anymore.
