Chapter 1059: Granduncle

“We… We didn’t know that he’s the Old Marshal. If Leng Qirui introduced us, we wouldn’t be in such an awkward situation.”

“Oh, so you’re saying that only the Old Marshal’s arrival is worthy for you to get up and greet him? When other elders come, even if they’re here to visit your family, you can ignore them, right?”

“No… Little girl, you’re really…”

“That’s enough!” Seeing that the woman was about to continue arguing with his granddaughter-in-law over this matter, the old master spoke up to interrupt her. After all, Old Master Chi was someone who would protect the innocent too. He only b.u.t.ted in when Nuannuan finished arguing with the woman, sending that woman into a daze that eventually transformed into a flying rage.

“Just a small matter.”

When the woman heard that the old master thought it was just a small matter, she thought that the old master would not mind. A smile cracked open on her face and she looked at Nangong Nuannuan smugly.

Seeing that the woman had no intention of holding herself back, the old master looked at Nuannunan and added, “There’s no need to argue with irrelevant people.”

The sharp-tongued woman, “…”

Nangong Nuannuan looked at her with a smile that did not quite reach her eyes, angering the woman so much she nearly lost her ability to breathe. However, that also showed how close Nangong Nuannuan was with the Old Marshal. No matter how unhappy she was with the outcome, she did not dare to speak.

“Big Brother, this is…”

Looking at Nuannuan with an unreadable gaze, the other woman who resembled the woman who spoke earlier asked with a smile.

This woman called Leng Jinpeng ‘Big Brother’, and that gave Nangong Nuannuan the confirmation she needed on their ident.i.ties.

This was Leng Jinpeng’s eldest younger sister, Leng Jinjie. The other one was Leng Jinpeng’s second younger sister, Leng Jinchen.

“Lil Leng, how are your parents’ injuries?”

Just as Leng Jinpeng was about to introduce Nuannuan, Old Master Chi interjected. Leng Jinpeng ignored Leng Jinjie’s question and replied, “They’re still in a coma. There’s no sign of them waking up. The doctor said that they suffered a severe blow to the head, which caused a large number of blood clots in their brains. That’s why they can’t wake up.”

“Have you found out who did this?”

“No.”

Then, there was silence.

“Old Marshal, Miss, have some hot water.”

A handsome young man stood before Nangong Nuannuan. The fondness in his eyes was so dense it was shocking that he did not add “I have a crush on you” at the end of his sentence.

Eldest Aunt Leng Jinjie immediately introduced him. “Eldest Uncle, this is my son, Pei Jiaxiang. Jiaxiang, quick! Come and greet your granduncle!”

“Leng Jinjie!” Leng Jinpeng snapped.

However, his berating did not stop the man who brought Old Master Chi and Nangong Nuannuan water from approaching. Instead, he greeted Old Master Chi gently and humbly. “h.e.l.lo, Granduncle.”

Nangong Nuannuan, “…”

She was overwhelmed by the thought that in her previous life, she was truly… unconcerned about Big Brother Chi Yang.

Firstly, after marrying Big Brother Chi Yang, she returned to the Chi family very few times. In six years, she could count the number of times she returned to the Chi residence with her ten fingers. Therefore, she understood nothing about Big Brother Chi Yang’s family at all.

She always thought that Old Master Chi and Second Uncle were the only relatives Big Brother Chi Yang had. Although she heard that Big Brother Chi Yang had other relatives, she thought that they were distant relatives—the kind that did not get along much.

So, what was with this ‘Uncle’? Moreover, why was it Uncle Leng’s younger sister who called Old Master Chi that?

Leng Jinjie’s mother was the Leng family’s Lady. If the Lady of the Leng family had Chi for her surname, Uncle Leng should also call Grandpa ‘Uncle’ too.
