When the elder Mr. Nangong heard these words, he looked at his grandson with anger. Was he just going to let these matters go?
He might think that, but he would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen here.
Elder Mr. Nangong looked at Huo Yuxuan with relief. Fortunately, Huo Yuxuan was still there, so he could tell him what had happened. Otherwise, he would have been kept in the dark. He might not even know if his granddaughter-in-law had been snatched away by someone else.
Indeed, everything still depended on him.
Nangong Jin's expression seemed less than pleasant.
Good heavens, he made mistakes, and now he was the one feeling wronged.
"Grandfather."
Elder Mr. Nangong glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't call me that."
"What?" Nangong Jin looked at the person before him in astonishment.
"You still have the nerve to ask 'what'. Look at what you've done."
An Nuan, who was sitting nearby, immediately spoke up to explain, "Grandfather, things are not as you think. Nangong Jin is very good, truly very good."
Huo Yuxuan listened, a smile on his face. She was defending him.
Upon hearing this, Elder Mr. Nangong's smile widened.
It seemed his granddaughter-in-law cared quite a bit about their grandson.
Seeing this, Elder Mr. Nangong was very satisfied.
...
After a long while, Xia Wanqing, who had not been making trouble, stood up to cause a scene again.
Xia Wanqing had been trying to please Ji Wenyun recently.
However, no matter how hard she tried, Ji Wenyun couldn't even spare her a glance. This made her very uncomfortable.
Ji Wenyun detested Xia Wanqing to the extreme, but for some reason, he couldn't outright reject her. However, his attitude had changed drastically.
Xia Wanqing was spreading unfounded lies outside, and all the negative comments were directed at him. To protect his company, he couldn't make too many moves. Right now, the most important thing was to safeguard the company. Everything else could be discussed later.
Ji Wenyun sneered. He wouldn't maintain this situation for long. He would resolve things as quickly as possible.
Xia Wanqing's good days were probably numbered.
If Xia Wanqing wanted to see him, she would probably resort to her usual scheming.
Ji Wenyun, who had initially decided not to go, reconsidered and decided to go. He wanted to see what Xia Wanqing was up to.
In fact, after all her efforts, Xia Wanqing's goal was to force him to meet her. Now that her objective was achieved, she must be very happy.
However happy she was now, he would make her cry later. He would make her regret doing these things.
Ji Wenyun finally arrived.
When Ji Wenyun arrived, he witnessed a peculiar scene. There was another person there, Yuwen Hao. He remembered this person; he was someone close to Xu Ruowei. Now he was seeking out Xia Wanqing, and more importantly, the two seemed to be in a heated argument. It looked like a rather significant quarrel.
"Yuwen Hao, have you had enough? I've given you what you wanted. Yet, you break your promises every time and threaten me with that evidence."
"Yuwen Hao, if you continue like this, then just reveal the evidence. We can burn together."
Xia Wanqing saw the change in Yuwen Hao's expression and felt a surge of smugness. She feigned composure and said coldly again, "Yuwen Hao, you'd better know when to stop, or you'll regret it."
Ji Wenyun, standing not far away, watched the scene unfold, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
It was truly an eye-opener.
Xia Wanqing probably didn't know about Yuwen Hao's appearance. But what she didn't know was that he was watching from the side.
Perhaps, there was even more exciting drama to come.
It seemed coming here today was indeed the right decision. Ji Wenyun wasn't in a hurry to approach. He casually found a good spot, ordered some food, and prepared himself in the best state to watch the show.
"Xia Wanqing, are you threatening me? I'm the one with nothing to lose, why would I be afraid of you? Don't forget, I have nothing left now, so if we're going to burn together, I'm more than willing."
"Besides, if I make a scene, I have nothing to lose and nothing to care about."
Yuwen Hao said with a smile, looking at Xia Wanqing, "But as for you, who knows what fate awaits you."
"Xia Wanqing, obediently give me money, and also find me a place to live. Remember, the most important thing is, you have to come and accompany me."
"Yuwen Hao, don't push your luck, I..."
"Is this pushing my luck? Then I'll have to do even more outrageous things. What will you do then?"
"By the way, you have some connection with Ji Wenyun, right? If you can't produce it, then I'll have to go find Ji Wen."
"Ji Wenyun has a large family business. I'm sure he'll agree to my proposal. After all, Ji Wenyun definitely cares about his reputation."
"Yuwen Hao, shut up. If you dare to go to Ji Wenyun, I won't let you off."
Xia Wanqing stood up abruptly, and the chair made a sharp screeching sound due to her sudden movement. She raised her hand, as if about to strike, but Yuwen Hao immediately intercepted her raised hand. She looked at the person before her with shock and disbelief, but ultimately, she could only suppress her anger and swallow her pride.
Her earlier commotion had naturally attracted the attention of those around her. Now, she absolutely could not make any more drastic moves.
Most importantly, the people present in this place were all wealthy and influential. She couldn't afford to leave any more leverage behind.
Facing Yuwen Hao's calculating gaze, Xia Wanqing regretted it. She regretted why she had chosen such a place.
She had chosen this place specifically to scheme against Ji Wenyun, to let everyone see that she and Ji Wenyun were still as close as ever, that Ji Wenyun still cared for her deeply. The position of Mrs. Ji would always be hers.
She had schemed so much, yet she never expected to run into Yuwen Hao at this moment. His appearance had completely derailed all her plans.
How did Yuwen Hao know she was here?
She checked the time, her eyes filled with urgency. Ji Wenyun would appear soon. If she didn't deal with this person before then, the subsequent developments might be detrimental to her.
"Xia Wanqing, you need to think carefully. Are you going to agree to my conditions or not? I'm here to find you now because I don't want to escalate things. Of course, if you want to blow this out of proportion, then I'll be happy to oblige."
"You've lost far more than I have."
"I agree. I'll agree to your demands."
"Yuwen Hao, leave now. I'll give it to you immediately."
Xia Wanqing's expression was extremely grim, and she said anxiously, "I promise, I'll sort things out by tomorrow."
"Then give me the money first."
Glancing at the time, Xia Wanqing finally gave the money to Yuwen Hao.
"Regarding the house, tomorrow, I'll handle it for you tomorrow, okay?" Xia Wanqing's eyes were filled with hatred, but her words had to feign placation. She absolutely couldn't offend the person in front of her. She was afraid that if she offended him, her good days would be over.
