Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle Chapter 140 - Negotiation

Chapter 140: Negotiation

I muttered, “I did manage to hack into the computer but I was kicked out. And then the system self-destructed. You can’t bla for that. No one could stop the system from self-destructing. I was only taking a look, I didn’t do anything else. Why did you have to destroy the system? What a sha!”

Tong Le was furious. “I… If I don’t beat so sense into you, my na is not Tong Le. You stubborn child, you. Co back here!” He chased after with a rolling pin.

I scread and ran.

Jing Tian grabbed the rampaging Tong Le. “I’ll fix the firewall for you!”

Tong Le stopped and he turned to look at Jing Tian. Jing Tian held him wordlessly.

Tong Le squeezed through his teeth. “You have to repair the database! Recover the periter and then build an extra firewall!” He was negotiating terms!

“Deal!” Jing Tian nodded.

Erm, what is happening? That’s all? Jing Tian has saved from a beating?

“Nanxing, co over here!” Jing Tian waved at . I slithered along the wall towards him. I stood behind him. I was a distance away from Jing Tian and even further away from my little uncle. He still glared at . Jing Tian turned to glance at . “Nanxing, apologize to your little uncle.”

I said, “I already did but he won’t accept my apology.”

Jing Tian glanced at .

I quickly turned to Tong Le. “Little uncle, I’m sorry.” Jing Tian frowned. “You call that an apology?” Tong Le quickly piled on. “See! I told you she didn’t an it!”

I bowed to Tong Le. “Little uncle, I was wrong! I didn’t an to do you any harm. Please forgive ! Please don’t lower yourself to my level.”

My little uncle was speechless. He looked at and then asked Jing Tian, “You taught her this too?”

Jing Tian rolled his eyes. “It’s self-taught. I was never good at apologies.”

My little uncle shook his head. “I was never good with apologies either. This girl is so cunning! She knows when to attack and when to defend. Where did she pick up all these from?” I took that as a complint.

Jing Tian pulled over. “Tell , why did you hack into Tong Le’s computer?”

I said hesitantly. “I just wanted to find so info. I didn’t expect the computer to be so delicate.”

We sat down on the couch. Jing Tian was not so easily-fooled. He demanded, “Nanxing, the point!”

I sighed internally. Jing Tian knew too well to buy that bogus story. I had no choice but tell him my encounter with Gu Nian.

Jing Tian’s expression darkened. “What have I told you? Be careful when you are around Gu Nian.”

I didn’t argue. “One of the projects Gu Nian had do was to look into the Nan Corporation so I did. I realized that the Nan Family has already been hollowed out financially. So I captured Nan Feng and used so thods to make him confess. He said…”

I looked at them.

Both of them looked at with grim expressions.

I continued, “He said that I was a living key left behind by my parents. It is why the 7 brothers are trying to get . Well, other than the two of you.

“However, there is no visible danger in my life. I believe it is because you have been protecting . But I wanted to see who is looking for and what do they plan to do with . Also that island ntioned by Nan Feng, I want to know where it is. The only way to find out is to check little uncle’s computer. After all, I know you won’t tell the truth if I ask! I was forced to do this!”

Neither of them spoke.

I looked at my uncle. “Little uncle, do you plan to keep protected for the rest of your left? You won’t even let know the kind of danger I’m going to face. You tried your best to protect , but what about you? You have to have a life of your own too. I can’t expect you to exhaust your whole life on .”

My eyes prickled. My little uncle turned his head away uneasily.

I huffed, “Plus you can’t expect to be a fool forever, right? You’ve always protected and plan to raise like a strawberry in a greenhouse. But I’d rather you throw out there to the wolves and let fend for myself like my mother did. That way, I can learn to be independent. Which thod do you think is better?”

My little uncle stood up angrily and roared at . “Neither way is good! You are the Tong Family’s only child. It is my responsibility to protect you! You only need to focus on your studies. Why do you have to care about the rest? If anyone dares to co after you, they will have to step over my dead body first!”
