Even if his granddaughter-in-law was pretty, these men could not act so brazenly, could they?!
No matter what, she was already taken!
Old Master Chi’s cough sounded particularly fake. As he coughed, he glared at the men from the Nangong family.
“Uncle Chi!”
Although Nangong Shu was already a grand general, he would forever be junior to Old Master Chi. Furthermore, in terms of status, a rank like Old Master Chi’s would probably never appear in Camino ever again.
Any soldier would have absolute respect for Old Master Chi.
“How did Old Nangong’s stroke get so serious? Is he still unconscious?”
Speaking of his father, Nangong Shu’s joy at seeing the little princess dissipated momentarily.
He nodded with an austere expression. “Yes, he’s still receiving urgent treatment. The doctor informs us that my father’s having a really serious stroke and it’s not easy to operate on him. He’s still dealing with the blood clot in his brain. Even though he’s no longer in a critical state and his life is no longer in danger, walking and talking normally is out of the question from now on.”
When Old Master Chi heard this, he seemed to have aged a few years instantly. He muttered, “Then, Nangong… will be paralyzed in a wheelchair from now on?”
Nangong Shu did not say anything, but his silence proved Old Master Chi right.
“Can I go in and take a look?”
Zhong Nuannuan frowned after hearing Nangong Shu’s words.
Although she did not intend to acknowledge the Nangong family as her own, she had taken quite a liking to this maternal grandfather of hers. Those that left a horrible impression on Zhong Nuannuan were Nangong Li, Nangong Yun, Nangong Zheng, Nangong Yi, and Nangong Ze.
In order words, she did not like all of Old Master Nangong’s grandsons except those from Nangong Shu’s family.
In Zhong Nuannuan’s past life, this group of men was too protective of the mistakes committed by those they thought were family. Every time Zhong Qianqian came to provoke Zhong Nuannuan, Zhong Nuannuan had always been tolerant. She had been so tolerant that she had gotten angry before retaliating a little. Eventually, when Zhong Qianqian bullied Zhong Nuannuan, none of these men stopped Zhong Qianqian even though the conflict in their eyes was apparent. Once Zhong Nuannuan retaliated—despite not causing too much harm to Zhong Qianqian—these men leaped at the first chance they got.
When the men from the Nangong family heard Zhong Nuannuan’s indifferent voice, their eyes softened and they looked at her tenderly.
Zhong Nuannuan was not a master of detecting emotions, so she did not sense the change in their eyes. However, Old Master Chi was so frightened that he shivered.
Oh, heavens! What were these guys trying to do?
“Nuannuan, you’re willing to see Grandpa? Of course you can! If Grandpa sees you, he’ll definitely be very happy!”
Nangong Qin could no longer suppress the brimming emotions contained within his mortal body and replied excitedly.
Zhong Nuannuan, “…” She finally realized something was wrong.
“Grandpa?” Could it be that the Nangong family had discovered something wrong in this life?
Ever since Zhong Nuannuan was reborn, many things changed drastically through the butterfly effect she caused.
Zhong Nuannuan’s heart skipped a beat and she started to get nervous.
Nangong Qin also realized that he seemed to have said something wrong due to his excitement. Afraid that he would upset the little princess, he quickly corrected himself. “Nuannuan, your Grandpa told us yesterday that he had admitted you as his granddaughter before he even returned home. He’s extremely happy about it. Last night, he even called for a family meeting and said that he wants to hold a family banquet for you. Who would’ve known…” He sighed loudly after trailing off in his sentence.
So, that was what happened.
Zhong Nuannuan heaved a sigh of relief.
