"Nan Xiao isn't a member of our Nan family, so I have no obligation to help her. If you want to help her, you can use public opinion." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
After Nan Xiao finished speaking, she hung up the phone with a snap.
Lan Yuxi playfully hooked her arm around his, "You're more ruthless than me!"
Nan Xiao dotingly flicked her nose, "If you want to stir up trouble, I'll help you make it bigger."
Nan Jiang truly didn't disappoint Nan Xiao. Shortly after hanging up the phone, he leaked the news of Wang Jiaojiao's assault to the media, intending to get justice for Nan Xiao.
The Zheng family tried to suppress the incident, hiring numerous hackers to delete the posts, but to no avail. No one could remove them.
Helpless, Zheng Yuan had to ask Ming Zicheng for help, wanting to borrow some people from the Charm organization.
Ming Zicheng immediately rejected his request, stating that the Charm organization embodied righteousness and would not deviate from its original purpose for anyone's personal gain. He advised that to quell public anger, action must be taken to seek forgiveness from the people.
Zheng Yuan was furious and returned to scold Wang Jiaojiao harshly. It was only then that he realized his granddaughter was on a completely different level from his other granddaughter, and he finally understood why Lan Haolin had called him blind.
Seeing the online comments filled with curses, Wang Jiaojiao, enraged, stormed into Old Mrs. Zheng's room.
"Grandma, this is all Lan Yuxi's fault. I only met her, the one acquaintance, when Xue Qilin and I went out to eat. She must have tipped off Nan Xiao! If Nan Xiao hadn't gone, I wouldn't have pushed her."
Old Mrs. Zheng glared at her impatiently, "Anyone knows Lan Yuxi is close to Nan Qiyue, why would she tip off Nan Xiao? Use your brain! You tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing the rice. If you continue like this, your grandfather's position will be lost because of you sooner or later."
Tears welled up in Wang Jiaojiao's eyes, "Grandma, you're not going to help me either?"
"How could I not help you? First, record an apology video, then go abroad and lay low for a while. Once the heat of this matter dies down, you can come back."
"I won't apologize to her!" Wang Jiaojiao cried, rolling up her sleeves, "Look how she scratched me!"
Old Mrs. Zheng frowned slightly as she looked, "Even if you're scratched all over your face, no one will sympathize with you because Nan Xiao lost her child because of you. Nan Jiang is relentlessly pursuing this, determined to fight us to the end. Don't think an apology will keep you out of jail. If it can protect your grandfather's position, you must do it!"
Wang Jiaojiao clenched her fists. She finally understood that in the face of profit, she was no different from Zheng Peipei; both were expendable.
Zheng Yuan pushed open the door and entered, "The script is ready. Jiaojiao, quickly memorize it and record the video in ten minutes."
Wang Jiaojiao took the script and ran out crying.
Zheng Yuan closed the door with a grim expression and said to Old Mrs. Zheng, "You go find the eldest son and have him call Peipei."
Old Mrs. Zheng pouted unhappily, "Why look for that brat?"
"She has a good relationship with the Lan family, and Nan Xiao will surely give her face. Nan Jiang won't dare to disobey Nan Xiao."
"If we want Nan Xiao to intervene, why don't I just find An Lanshu?"
"An Lanshu can't influence Nan Xiao. To get Nan Xiao involved, we have to use favors to pressure him," Zheng Yuan sighed, "At the time, you should have listened to me and not been so heartless to Peipei. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
"She's already a lost cause, what's the use of being nice to her? No need for the eldest son to call, I'll call that brat myself. I don't believe she can just stand by and do nothing!"
"It would be best if the eldest son and his wife made this call."
"I said it's not necessary!" Old Mrs. Zheng picked up the phone and dialed.
At the villa on the mountainside, the family was chatting in the living room. Just as the family was enjoying a harmonious moment, Zheng Peipei's phone suddenly rang.
Lan Mussi glanced at her phone screen and saw it was Old Mrs. Zheng calling, her brow furrowing slightly.
Zheng Peipei hesitated for a moment before handing her phone to him, "You answer it and say I'm sleeping."
Lan Mussi smiled, ruffled her hair, and walked out with the phone.
Tang Wan reached out, held her hand, and gently patted it.
Zheng Peipei gave an embarrassed smile, "I know why she's calling, but don't worry, I will never ask President Nan and Yuxi to be put in a difficult position."
"We won't be in a difficult position because even if you asked, I wouldn't plead for Wang Jiaojiao," Lan Yuxi said with a smile, "I started this whole thing. I want to vent this anger for you and Qiyue."
Lan Haolin smiled and gave a thumbs-up, "That's my girl! The trouble has started, let them fight among themselves like dogs!"
Tang Wan nudged his arm, "Don't say that. They are Peipei and Qiyue's family after all."
Lan Haolin snorted, "Peipei and Qiyue consider them family, but do they consider these two children family?"
When Zheng Peipei and Nan Qiyue heard this, they both lowered their heads simultaneously. That's right, they had been abandoned by their own families. If Yuxi hadn't taken them in, they might be sleeping on the streets right now.
Tang Wan looked at the two of them and smiled, "Get some rest, everyone. Tomorrow we'll accompany Qiyue to acknowledge her ancestors. We'll make sure to give her the proper send-off. Let's see if they dare to look down on you after that!"
Nan Qiyue looked at Tang Wan gratefully.
Tang Wan smiled and stroked her face, "Go on, get a beauty sleep. You have to look beautiful tomorrow."
Nan Qiyue smiled and stood up, holding Zheng Peipei's hand.
Lan Muguo quickly stood up when he saw Nan Qiyue was leaving.
Tang Wan, suppressing a smile, also stood up.
Lan Yuxi glanced towards the balcony with a smile and saw her second brother returning. She asked with a smile, "Did you not anger her to death?"
Lan Mussi raised an eyebrow slightly, "If I had said a few more sharp words to her, she probably wouldn't have died, but she would have lost a layer of skin."
"Your wife went upstairs. My fourth brother just went after her. You should hurry up too, don't let my fourth brother go into the wrong room..."
Lan Mussi poked her forehead, "You spew nonsense!"
Lan Mushang playfully kicked him, "Don't hurt Xi'er too much. Hurry up and go upstairs."
Lan Mushang kicked away Lan Er (Lan Yuxi) and said to Lan Zixin, who was still covering her mouth and laughing, "Shall we go sit in Mom and Dad's room for a while?"
The smile on Lan Zixin's face instantly froze, "Mom and Dad are also tired today, let's not disturb their rest."
"It's just a few words," Lan Mushang reached out and pulled her up, smiling at Lan Haolin, "Just three minutes, okay?"
Lan Haolin paused, then sat back down, "Say whatever you have to say here. It's not something to hide."
Tang Wan also returned, looking at the two of them with anticipation.
Lan Zixin's face flushed red to her ears, "Dad, Mom, I want to pay respects to my parents after Qiyue's matter is resolved."
