Nan Luzhi, realizing this, felt alarm bells ringing in his head.
Now, the elder Madam Huo took special care of Nan Yu, genuinely treating her as her granddaughter-in-law. If Huo Juanyan also took a liking to Nan Yu, then the Huo Family would beco her strongest support.
Furthermore, with the events transpiring at the Nan Family tonight, if Nan Yu managed to return to the Nan Family, and later, the Nan Family joined forces with the Huo Family, the foundation he had struggled so hard to build for the Nan Family would be utterly destroyed.
No way!
He had to co up with a plan, not only to prevent Nan Yu from returning to the Nan Family tonight but also to make her disliked by Huo Juanyan, whether through divorce or death. She could not be allowed to gain the support of the Huo Family.
With a sycophantic smile on his face, Nan Luzhi’s chubby cheeks bunched up as he approached Huo Juanyan.
He affected a familiar tone, "Family Head Huo..."
He had just started speaking when he t Huo Juanyan’s icy gaze and was imdiately so frightened that he forgot what he wanted to say next.
Huo Juanyan twirled the White Jade Ring, exuding the absolute authority of soone superior.
"Mr. Nan, aren’t you busy worrying about your daughter? What brings you here to chat with ?"
This remark stopped Nan Luzhi from attempting to make conversation. He forced a smile, glancing at Nan Yu next to him.
"Family Head Huo, I’m here mainly to remind you, my daughter has always enjoyed acting and deceiving people. Don’t be fooled by her face."
Seeing this, Huo Juanyan said coldly, "Mr. Nan, this is truly the first ti I see a parent not protecting their own daughter but instead accusing her of wrongdoings."
"Could it be that you really feel as Miss Nan Yu said, that she is not your biological daughter, and so you are eager to tell everyone that she is not good at all?"
"But in my eyes, I think Miss Nan Yu is rather nice."
Nan Luzhi instantly felt the pressure emanating from Huo Juanyan and detected the praise in his tone for Nan Yu.
His earlier assumption was confird—Huo Juanyan was quite pleased with his wife, Nan Yu!
Nan Luzhi clenched his fists, a flash of displeasure evident in his eyes.
He sighed heavily, "Family Head Huo, you don’t have children, so you don’t understand the difficulties of being a parent. A daughter like Nan Yu who constantly causes serious trouble, is full of malice, gravely injured her own senior mistress, and nearly killed soone—I wish she would stay in prison for life, dying there!"
Nan Yu, hearing him speak ill of her in front of Huo Juanyan, wishing her to be portrayed as a terrible villain, felt an unwillingness surge in her heart.
She nad him outright, "Nan Luzhi, stop playing the part of a righteous yet hypocritical father. You all say I’m the culprit, but besides a few words from Nan Qingqing’s mouth, what evidence do you have to prove it was ?"
Saying this, she deliberately looked towards Nan Qingqing.
"Nan Qingqing, tell us, where is your evidence?"
Huo Juanyan, seeing Nan Yu not backing down and directly confronting him, grew increasingly appreciative of her.
Turning his gaze to Nan Qingqing, who was ek and silent, only capable of pretending innocence and crying pitifully, he couldn’t mask a flash of displeasure.
Nan Qingqing’s eyes red, she choked out, "Nan Yu, you want evidence? I am the eyewitness, the person who saw everything. The mother who lies seriously injured in bed is also evidence, as is the foster mother who now sits in a wheelchair, paralyzed."
"You keep saying it’s not you. Then present your evidence to prove it wasn’t you!"
Nan Yu raised an eyebrow, her voice clear, "Don’t be hasty, my evidence is already on the way, and you’ll see it soon."
Nan Qingqing scoffed, "Nan Yu, you have no evidence at all. You’re just trying to buy ti."
As they locked gazes, a dense sll of gunpowder spread through the air, and the atmosphere stiffened once again.
Suddenly, soone burst out with a statent from within the crowd.
"The Eldest Young Master and the Fourth Young Master have returned with the appraisal report."
