Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Nangong Xuyao gripped the paper tightly in his hands. His eyes were red and he gritted his teeth, trying to restrain the turmoil churning inside him. He kept panting heavily as if trying to vent the anger in his chest, but nothing seemed to alleviate it.
After a long while, he finally got his inner rage under control. Then, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. He took out his phone and made a call. h.e.l.lo Mother, are you busy?
Upon hearing Nangong Xuyaos voice, Murong Yanshus tone turned cold. Im not busy, but if this is about discussing Ye Xiyuan, theres no need to continue. Accepting her as my G.o.ddaughter is already the biggest concession I can make.
Usually, she wouldnt care at all about the Ye familys affairs. If Ye Xiyuan hadnt saved her, she wouldnt have made such a decision. One had to know that becoming a young lady of the Nangong family was like gilding oneself with gold. This was something many young ladies from other families dreamed about!
Mother, dont worry. 1 do want to discuss Ye Xiyuan with you today, said Nangong Xuyao. At this point, a cold light flashed in his eyes, However, 1 1 m not here to oppose your decision. I think its very good. I agree with it completely.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yanshu was stunned. She pulled the phone away and looked at the name on the screen. Then she asked suspiciously, Xuyao, are you alright?
At this moment, she wondered if the person on the phone with her was really her son. Just last night he had been so strongly against her decision, determined not to become siblings Ye Xiyuan. And now after only one night, he had changed his mind.
This change was too sudden. She didnt feel a trace of surprise but rather shock.
Mother, what are you talking about! Hearing Murong Yanshus doubtful tone, Nangong Xuyao couldnt help but facepalm. Werent you very firm about not letting me be with Ye Xiyuan? Since thats the case, shouldnt you be happy that Ive agreed to your request today?
If youve really made this decision, then of course Im happy, Murong Yanshu said seriously over the phone. But if youre just brus.h.i.+ng me off, then Ill be very unhappy.
She didnt think one night was enough to change a person so drastically. This change was too abrupt. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed suspicious.
Mother, Ive just come to understand it, said Nangong Xuyao, his lips curling into a cold smile. Youre right. Im the young master of the Nangong family. I have my own duties and responsibilities. Ye Xiyuan is indeed not qualified to be the Nangong familys matriarch. So I think your suggestion is very good.
Although suspicious of Nangong Xuyaos sudden change, Murong Yanshu still responded, Since youve decided, Ill ask Ye Xiyuan again to see what she thinks. If she still doesnt want to, then give the Ye family some benefits to thank Ye Xiyuan for saving her life last night.
Hearing Murong Yanshu mention the life-saving grace, Nangong Xuyaos expression darkened even more. Dont worry, Mother. 1 know what to do.
After hanging up the phone, Nangong Xuyao waved his hand and swept everything on the table onto the floor. He muttered sinisterly, Ye Xiyuan, youre very clever, fooling me like this, arent you?
Originally, because of Ye Xiyuans actions last night, he didnt plan to investigate that past incident anymore. However, early this morning he unexpectedly received a package. Inside it was a medical bill, claiming he had to pay for the treatment that saved him back then.
When he saw the bill, at first he thought it was a prank. But when he saw the bullet sh.e.l.l that came with the bill, he was stunned.
That was the bullet sh.e.l.l left behind when he was shot. Therefore, this bill was not a joke, but real. Although he didnt know why it came so late, he could be sure this bill was sent by his real lifesaver..
