Chapter 158 - 158: Rather Than Annoy Us, I Suggest You Keep You
The night before the birthday banquet, Nan Ge returned to Jiang City and stayed at the old residence in advance.
Shen Yanqing would only come to the banquet the next day.
At night, after Nan Ge finished eating, she was called out for a walk by Nan Zhe.
Nan Ge did not want to go at first. At this time, she only wanted to take a comfortable bath. However, she remembered that her brother must have been feeling depressed recently. The siblings had not chatted alone for a long time, so she followed him out.
When Nan Zhe came out, he even brought out their grandfather’s cat.
Other people walked their dogs, but he was walking a cat.
Their grandfather’s cat was fat and usually got carried around. It had never been brought for a walk before.
However, perhaps because it knew that Nan Zhe was the crown prince, it did not dare to act rashly, afraid that it would end up being executed tomorrow. As soon as the fat cat landed on the ground, it cooperated, twisting its chubby body and trying its best to keep up with Nan Zhe.
Indeed, in the Nan family, everyone was afraid of the crown prince.
“Are you going to pick Shen Yanqing up tomorrow?”
After walking for dozens of meters, Nan Ge heard her brother speak.
She shook her head. “No need. Didn’t the invitation have an address? He said he didn’t need me to pick him up. When he arrives tomorrow, I’ll pick him up outside the banquet hall.”
“Okay,” Nan Zhe replied and did not say anything else.
Nan Ge did not know what to talk about, so she followed behind him.
It was already spring in Jiang City. It had rained intermittently before and after Qingming, but it was not cold. Nan Ge was wearing a thin coat, but she did not feel cold at night.
The two of them and the cat walked for a while before Nan Ge was suddenly attracted by the sound in front of them.
Not far away, a car was parked at the entrance of a courtyard. There were two figures in front of the car. From their figures, they should be women.
Nan Ge took a look and veered her eyes. Nan Zhe did not care and did not even look at them.
When they passed by the car, the siblings heard a familiar name and turned around in unison.
The siblings’ eyes were fixed on each other, and the people opposite them quickly looked in their direction. Nan Ge was surprised, so she did not pay attention to etiquette for a moment. Nan Zhe, on the other hand, had an impulsive personality and was fearless.
“Nan Ge?” The woman in front of the car was the first to recognize Nan Ge. She smiled and stood up straight. “What a coincidence. We meet again. Don’t you remember me? I’m Shen Yanqing’s cousin.”
“Ah…” Nan Ge blinked. “Hello.” She turned to look at the older woman behind her. Before she could see her face clearly, she had a bad feeling.
After looking at each other, she pursed her lips. As expected, she was Shen Yanqing’s mother.
What a… coincidence.
Although the last time they met was not pleasant, she had to greet her. She nodded obediently.
“Hello, Auntie.”
“Uh huh.” The woman’s gaze swept past her face and landed on Nan Zhe.
After Nan Zhe heard the conversation between Nan Ge and Shen Yanqing’s cousin, he roughly guessed the woman’s identity.
Thinking about it, Shen Yanqing and his mother did not have a good relationship to begin with. In addition, the other party’s gaze made him very unhappy. There was no need for him to be nice to the other party.
He had no intention of greeting her. He held the cat with one hand and grabbed
Nan Ge’s hand with the other. ‘What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”
“Oh…” Nan Gets body tilted. When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly turned around and said goodbye to the woman. She did not say anything and only nodded.
Just as she was about to turn around, the woman behind her actually called her name. “Nan Ge, right?”
“Ah, right.” Nan Ge and Nan Zhe stopped at the same time and turned to look at the woman from a few steps away.
Nan Zhe’s expression was unhappy. His gaze was filled with arrogance and a hint of blatant warning.
He was wearing a casual suit tonight, revealing the aura of a young man from a good background.
He was just short of writing the words “shoot if you have something to say” on his face.
“Is there anything else, Auntie?”
The woman stepped forward and walked out from behind the car. She asked coldly, “I heard that you and Yanqing met his father not long ago?”
“Yes.” She did not understand. “Is there a problem?”
“You met his stepmother too?” Nan Ge nodded again.
“Those two must have treated you well.”
Nan Ge frowned and did not say anything.
“Miss Nan, I remember telling you very clearly last time that you’re very cute and likable. However, you have to know that cuteness is useless in front of a person’s upbringing and family background.”
“To put it bluntly, you’re cute, but that’s all. My judgment of you remains the same. As a stranger, I don’t have much of an opinion of you. However, as my son’s girlfriend, I’m not very satisfied with you.”
“The last time we met, I thought you understood what I meant. I didn’t expect you to move so quickly. You’ve already seen his father.”
“Of course, don’t think that his father and stepmother are really satisfied with you. His father has a soft personality and doesn’t have any strong opinions. Let’s put it this way. Even if I randomly pick a passerby from the street to be Shen Yanqing’s girlfriend, his father won’t have a problem with it, let alone his stepmother.”
“Don’t think that you can marry into the Shen family smoothly just because I have divorced his father. I’m still Shen Yanqing’s mother. I have the right to make you leave my son.”
Nan Zhe had long heard that Shen Yanqing’s mother was not easy to deal with.
From what he heard, she was really asking tor a beating.
He pulled Nan Ge behind him and stuffed the cat leash into her hands. Then, he went forward. “Shen Yanqing’s biological mother, right?”
“Tsk, your words are really not sincere at all.”
“It’s not difficult to get Nan Ge to leave Shen Yanqing. However, you have to show some sincerity, right? You’re just saying it verbally. Really, do you think you are just coaxing a child?”
The woman sized up the man in front of her and found him familiar.
However, she was not in the mood to think about it deeply now, nor did she care about his identity.
“Tell me how much you want.” She pulled her purse out of her satchel as if she had expected this.
“I don’t need too much. How about a billion?”
The woman opposite them froze holding the card and realized that she had just been played. She looked angry. “You really have the guts to ask.”
“Of course.” Nan Zhe spread his hands. “When Nan Ge marries over, she’ll be the young madam of the Shen family. She can get far more than that, let alone a billion. Moreover, you should know how much your son likes Nan Ge. Considering his personality, he only cares about love, so he probably won’t even sign a prenuptial agreement. When the time comes… Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
“Five million, no more.”
“Are you dismissing a beggar? My annual expenses for raising this cabbage are more than five million.”
Nan Ge tugged at his sleeve from behind, indicating that they should leave. Nan Zhe sneered and looked up at the woman. He glanced at her coldly. “Forget it. I won’t waste time with you here.”
“In short, it’s not up to you to say whether they’re together or not. I heard from Shen Yanqing that he wanted to invite you to his wedding in the future. I don’t think there’s a need for that now. The Nan family will not tolerate this. Rather than annoy us, I suggest you keep your distance..”
