“Not long ago, I heard Miss Zhong Qianqian call Chairman Nangong on the phone. That meant that Miss Zhong Qianqian has been in contact with the Nangong family. May I ask why the Nangong family suddenly refuses to acknowledge Miss Zhong Qianqian? If the Nangong family didn’t think that Miss Zhong Qianqian was the little princess of the Nangong family from the start, why did they contact her?”
The reporters from the gossip columns felt that this had developed into something too explosive for them to bear. They all started live-streaming the event on the Internet.
Even if it was to clear Zhong Nuannuan’s name, they should clarify the matter with Zhong Qianqian, right?
Therefore, the originally quiet scene instantly skyrocketed to its climax as the reporters joined in.
Even though the entire hall was still rather quiet out of respect for the Nangong family, everyone could hear the blood boiling inside their heads.
The word ‘pale’ was no longer sufficient to describe Zhong Qianqian and Jiang Shuwan’s faces. To the mother-and-daughter duo, there was nothing they wanted more than to run away from here.
However, just as they started to retreat, a swarm of excited reporters blocked their escape route.
Nangong Shu stood up.
As he was the overall Commander-in-chief of the Northern military base cum Emperor District military base, Nangong Shu had the most say as one of the top admirals in Camino.
His eyes pierced into Zhong Qianqian until his domineering aura started choking Zhong Qianqian. Zhong Qianqian staggered a few steps back before Jiang Shuwan held her arm. Only then did Nangong Shu spoke in a low voice, “There’s only one little princess in the Nangong family, and that’s our Nuannuan. As for Zhong Qianqian, she’s just a fish eye. The Nangong family won’t do something so stupid as to mistake fish eyes for pearls.”
If not for the fact that many cameras were focused on her, Zhong Nuannuan would have pursed her lips.
Did the Nangong family not enjoy themselves in her previous life when they mistook fish eyes for pearls?
“How’s that possible? Zhong Qianqian clearly went through a DNA test with you. We saw the test results. You and Zhong Qianqian are directly related!”
“That’s right! Previously, Young Master Nangong Yun had his blood drawn in our hospital before, so we have his blood stored in our blood bank. Before we went to the Nangong family, we compared Zhong Qianqian’s blood with Young Master Nangong Yun’s. Their DNA test results proved that they’re relatives!”
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu could not accept such an outcome. Since they were destined to lose face, they must get to the bottom of this.
Gu Mingzhe, on the other hand, had his eyes fixed on Zhong Nuannuan from the start. He could not shift his gaze away.
After all, the person he loved had always been Zhong Nuannuan. The reason why he did not pursue Zhong Nuannuan was to ensure his family continued to prosper. For that, he had willingly sacrificed the love of his life.
Although Zhong Nuannuan was not the little princess of the Nangong family, she was Duke Eton’s adopted daughter. Furthermore, she was a descendent of the Luntanese royal family whose name was included in the royal family’s genealogy book. Gu Mingzhe was overwhelmed with regret the moment he realized that.
Now, seeing the woman he loved sitting on the raised platform and surrounded by the Nangong family, Gu Mingzhe failed to accept everything that happened.
“Why is it Nuannuan? Isn’t she Jiang Shuwan’s daughter? Why is it Nuannuan? There must have been a mistake! You must’ve made a mistake…”
Nangong Shu rarely directed an expression of disgust to anyone, but when he had to face Jiang Shuwan, Zhong Qianqian, and those who remained close to these two, he would be reminded of the person who always held his hand and called him brother so affectionally. When that happened, a surge of murderous aura would blaze from the darkest corner of his heart.
