Chapter 686 - 686: Too Late
The lively New Year passed quickly.
On the morning of the sixth day of the new year, everyone returned to Xiling City. They had no choice. Nie Baozhen had to work. Actually, she had to be on duty during the new year, but this was her first year here. The hospital had just given her special care.
When Le Yao and Nangong Jue arrived in the city, they did not return to Long Ting. Instead, they turned around and went to the airport, flying straight to Beijing.
The Nangong Corporation was almost done stalling. As the bank, the previous supplier, and so on were all constantly urging for money, Nangong Rongyao could be said to be overwrought. What made things worse was that his biological brother, Nangong Rongyu, actually ran away with his donations at this time and went overseas with his wife and children.
Hence, the old man spent this year in the hospital.
If he still couldn’t repay the company’s debt after the new year, the bank would auction off all the assets under the Nangong Corporation, including the old residence of the Nangong family where he lived now.
Hence, the old man called He Rong into the ward, hoping that she could inform Nangong Jue to come and save the Nangong Corporation.
He Rong could only sneer. She couldn’t even get through to her son’s phone now. “Nangong Rongyao, if you had been kind to Ah Jue back then, you wouldn’t be like this now.”
“I know.” Nangong Rongyao sighed. “But isn’t that all your fault? You schemed against me.”
“That’s also because you have ulterior motives. Do you dare to say that you didn’t covet me back then?” He Rong retorted indignantly. “You’re a scumbag yourself, yet you still have the cheek to despise me? Why didn’t Qiao Feng ever let me take advantage of him?”
Nangong Rongyao opened his mouth, but he realized that he couldn’t refute it at all. He was silent for a moment before smiling bitterly. “It’S useless to say this now.”
He Rong stopped talking.
“Ah Jue caused both the rise and fall of the Nangong family. Ah Rong, I was wrong…” Nangong Rongyao really realized it, but it was too late.
Nangong Jue naturally knew what Nangong Rongyao said, but he snorted. He was a businessman now, not family, so he did what he had to do.
Nangong Jue raised conditions. He could take over the company, but everyone related to the Nangong family had to leave the corporation. In other words, this company would become a subsidiary of the Zunjue Group in the future and had nothing to do with the Nangong family.
However, he would leave the old residence of the Nangong family to Nangong Rongyao so that he could spend his old age in peace.
That was all.
How could Nangong Rongyao not agree? However, he suggested that he hoped that Nangong Jue would not target his two children.
“Don’t worry, I respect Big Brother because he’s a soldier and is worthy of respect. I’ll also dote on Shuangshuang and treat her as my sister.” Nangong Jue didn’t deliberately anger the old man.
“Because she was kind to me in the past.”
“Alright, alright…” Nangong Rongyao was finally relieved.
At the door, Nangong Xun and Nangong Shuangshuang had mixed feelings.
Le Yao didn’t go to the hospital. As soon as she got off the plane, she contacted Qiao Qiao and Qian Meiqi. Then, the three of them arranged to meet at a restaurant.
Then, she received a major piece of news.
Qian Haiyi actually got together with Hong Xia.
“What’s going on? Your brother…”
“That’s a bastard.” Qian Meiqi gritted her teeth. “Last time, I reminded my mother not to let my brother harm my star student. In the end, my mother liked Hong Xia the moment she saw her and helped the evildoer..”
