Chapter 294: Family Gathering (2)

They all sat together in front of a large table to eat.

Old Master Nan naturally sat in the main seat with Nan Hai Yan and Nan Hai Lan on each left and right. Following them was their wives and then their children.

It was clear that the seat was more based on their seniority.

Nan Hua sat on the edge with Nan Xian Mu beside her. The other side of Nan Xian Mu was Lin i Yu.

Considering the relationship between mother and daughter was extrely bad, Nan Xian Mu chose to sit beside his mother. After all, he was more familiar with his mother compared to his older sister.

Lin i Yu passed a look at Nan Xian Mu and then looked away again.

Nan Xian Mu pursed his lips. Over the past few days, he had been working in Lin Family Corporation and learned many things about business. To be honest, he just wanted to go ho and stayed with his older sister.

However, his father allowed him to learn because it was important if he truly wanted to enter business in the future. In the end, Nan Xian Mu could only grit his teeth and followed his mother’s arrangent.

"Hua’er, eat more," Nan Xian Mu said in a low voice as he pushed the dishes closer to Nan Hua.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and then replied in a low voice, "You too, Xian Mu."

"Don’t worry, I’m eating a lot."

"Uhm."

The two of them were whispering in a low voice, but Old Master Nan and the few others were all people who had learned martial arts. How could they not listen to the conversation between the two siblings.

Nan Hai Yan smiled faintly and Old Master Nan was gratified that the sester when Nan Hua was away didn’t make the relationship between the two to deteriorate.

From the way it looked like, the two siblings have good relationship with each other.

It was a good news for him.

Nan Xian Tang looked at the two siblings in front of him and pursed his lips. He glanced at Nan Xian Xie imperceptibly and then looked away again. After being used by his own twin sister many tis in the past, he couldn’t really get close to this annoying girl again.

Even though the twins were supposed to be the closest, but he couldn’t really do that with Nan Xian Xie.

Perhaps, the others also noticed his thoughts, but they didn’t pierce it and let him be.

The food was cleaned up quickly.

Everyone was a fast eater, perhaps due to the influence of the military n in the house. Even Lin i Yu and Ruan San Yu were fast when they were eating. Lin i Yu was busy at business and didn’t have ti to eat, so she had to eat quickly all the ti. On the other hand, Ruan San Yu was because she watched the food disappearing very quickly.

Whenever everyone gathered together, she had to move her chopsticks faster because if she didn’t, she wouldn’t be able to eat anything.

It was quite saddening.

When everyone was done, Old Master Nan started to talk, "Now that we’ve finished eating, let’s talk about the recent events in the past sester."

Family gathering was an event that Nan Family had twice a year, new year and also in the middle of the year. Everyone who was available would participate to talk about the recent events in the Nan Family and all.

It would bring family closer.

At least, it should be.

"Nan Hai Yan, start from you."

"Yes, Father." Nan Hai Yan looked at his father and then recounted his experience in the military briefly. He had been doing confidential mission, so aside from saying that he had so missions to do, he told whether he was injured or not and that was it.

Old Master Nan looked at Nan Hai Yan. "We’ll talk again later."

"Yes, Father."

"Nan Hai Lan, how’s your situation in the military?"

Nan Hai Lan is the second child of Old Master Nan and just like his older brother, he entered the military. However, his military’s rank was not as high as his older brother who had beco a star general. He was only a lieutenant general and was far from his older brother.

Besides, he has never been an ambitious child and only wanted to serve the army in order to protect the people behind him but not really to the point of sacrificing himself.

His older brother had already worked hard to achieve high ranking and nearly lost his life many tis. He knew how much his father would feel hurt if he were to lose both of his sons, so he usually stayed at the rear end.

If he truly wanted it, he might be able to make an achievent on his own.

But he didn’t want to.

It was enough to have so ranks in the military and do his job well.

"There are more cases recently." Nan Hai Lan was also helpless. "Also, my cousin has been contacting the army to help with the recent missing case."

"Missing case?" Old Master Nan was attracted.

Nan Hua, who was paying attention to the plate in front of her, nearly raised her eyes when she heard the case. Her eyes flickered slightly but no abnormality could be found from her.

"Yes, there are a lot more people who are targeting the children from countless powerful families." Nan Hai Lan furrowed his eyebrows.

Their cousin also wanted to enter the military, but he was not capable enough. In the end, he entered the police force and beco a captain over there and when there were so important cases, he would contact the military.

Nan Hai Lan was the one who had been contacted a lot recently.

"Young children?"

"No, both teenagers and children." Nan Hai Lan looked at Old Master Nan. He added in a low voice, "I also heard that so children from Military Academy A High School has been missing."
