532: Chapter 532 Ling Zeheng asked in a deep voice: Have you been living together with Lei Ning?
Nangong Yunlong was getting a headache from Xiao Wenrou’s crying.
At this mont, his subordinate knocked on the door again from outside.
The subordinate walked in and respectfully reported, “Family Head, soone from the Xiao Family has co.
They say they want to take Madam back.”
“Oh?” Nangong Yunlong, sitting by his son’s bed, had a trace of deep aning in his eyes.
He looked down at Xiao Wenrou, who was still squatting on the floor and crying, and asked in a deep voice, “Where’s this person?”
Subordinate: “Just outside the door.”
Nangong Yunlong: “Invite the person in.”
“Yes.”
The subordinate turned around to invite the person from the Xiao Family in.
A man, covered in blood, walked in.
Upon entering, he respectfully greeted Nangong Yunlong, who was sitting by the bed, “Family Head Nangong.”
Without waiting for Nangong Yunlong’s response, he walked over to Xiao Wenrou, who was still kneeling on the ground.
“Miss, the young master has regained consciousness.
You should not be too heartbroken.”
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Wenrou tightly gripped the man’s arm.
She raised her head, revealing a face distorted by crying, and anxiously asked, “How is my elder brother?
Does he know about his condition?”
The person from the Xiao Family shook his head: “We have not inford him yet.
The doctor fears that the young master would be too emotionally upset to bear the news.”
Nangong Yunlong spoke, “I heard that Josh was abandoned in West City, how co he’s back?”
Anyone with a bit of intelligence could see through Qin Ruan’s actions, her deeds weren’t exactly secret.
The person from the Xiao Family responded respectfully to Nangong Yunlong, “We currently aren’t sure.
The young master went out as usual this evening and was ambushed by Josh at the door.
By the ti we received the news, the young master had already been ruthlessly attacked.”
Nangong Yunlong examined the blood stains on the man’s body, and then asked, “What happened to the blood on you?”
The person from the Xiao Family solemnly said, “Josh didn’t do it himself, it was soone from the Doyle Family who was with him.
We’ve already subdued them.
They need to pay a price for injuring our young master.”
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yunlong’s lips twitched in amusent.
Was Josh also captured?”
“He is temporarily under the control of the Xiao Family.
As soon as day breaks, the head of our family plans to personally seek an explanation from the Huo Family.”
Nangong Yunlong addressed the matter in a gentle tone, “No need to rush.
You can keep your own people first.
If Wenrou’s elder brother is in trouble, Nangong Family will not just stand by.
Tomorrow, I will send soone to get Josh and take him to the Huo Family to demand an explanation.”
Josh was extrely important to the Huo Family, since he is the son of the Huo Family’s princess.
If anything happened to Josh, it would be chaos upon chaos for the Huo Family.
For the Nangong Family, this would be an advantage without any drawbacks.
The person from the Xiao Family wasn’t in a position to make decisions, so he could only reply, “I will report to the head of our family about this matter.”
Nangong Yunlong’s eyes sparkled with confidence.
He believed that the Xiao Family wouldn’t go against the wishes of the Nangong Family.
This matter is almost certain.
Nangong Yunlong waved his hand towards the man from the Xiao Family, “Alright, you can go back.
Achang also got hurt by the Huo Family, so I can’t leave here.
I will visit Yujie another ti.”
“Yes——”
The person from the Xiao Family helped Xiao Wenrou up, who was utterly drained, and turned to leave.
Halfway through, Xiao Wenrou turned her head back.
She looked at Nangong Chang who was lying on the bed, his face deathly pale and his eyes filled with gloom.
Xiao Wenrou said, “After visiting my elder brother, I will co back as soon as possible.”
Nangong Chang scoffed, “What’s the difference between having you at ho and not having you here?”
Their marriage was just a ans for an alliance between the Nangong and Xiao families.
There was no significance to whether this woman who could neither fulfil her obligations as a wife nor take care of him personally, stayed or left.
Xiao Wenrou frowned, a look of humiliation on her face.
Primarily because he said these words in front of the many present, Xiao Wenrou felt like her pride was stomped into the ground.
Nangong Yunlong knew the young couple hadn’t been together yet.
Acting the peacemaker, he attempted to pacify Xiao Wenrou, “Wenrou, don’t mind Ah Chang’s words.
You go back first.”
“Yes, father.”
Xiao Wenrou turned to leave, her expression before leaving looked as if she had been wronged.
Xiao Wenrou and the person from the Xiao Family departed from the Nangong house, their expressions filled with sorrow.
It wasn’t until they got into the carriage and swiftly sped away from the Nangong house.
Xiao Wenrou, sitting in the back seat, had collected her sorrowful expression.
She snorted lightly, took out a tissue from her bag and wiped the disgrace from her face.
The driver from the Xiao family also relaxed.
They had passed this hurdle.
…
The Ling Family.
Ling Zeheng was seated on the living room couch.
Not long ago, the Ling Family had also received a call from the Huo Family.
The Ling Family, despite its lack of influence among the six Aristocratic Families, was still part of these families.
For any action against the Nangong Family, a majority agreent from the four major families and the six Aristocratic Families was needed.
The Ling Family had agreed, though not under Ling Zeheng’s approval.
His position within the Ling Family was awkward.
He was more concerned about Ling Xiaoxuan at this ti.
A servant from the Ling Family approached Ling Zeheng and reported: “Young Master Zeheng, Miss’s car has already entered the house.”
Ling Zeheng slightly raised an eyebrow, asking: “Did she make a scene?”
“The staff below said that Miss was unhappy on the way back…”
The servant looked up at Ling Zeheng, his sharp and profound features very calm.
The servant spoke softly, “She was complaining about you the entire ti.”
“Heh——”
Ling Zeheng chuckled lightly, he understood.
The little girl must have been cursing him the entire way ho.
Recently, Ling Xiaoxuan had been getting along quite well with a dentist, for so reason.
The man was upright and decent-looking.
Compared to Ling Xiaoxuan’s previous fiancé, he was certainly better in many ways.
Ling Zeheng had no objection to this, as long as Xiaoxuan was happy, he would support her.
Regrettably, he didn’t understand why things had developed the way they had.
Since Ling Xiaoxuan started seeing the dentist, she had gradually grown distant from him, and even treated him with contempt.
Every ti she looked at him, it was as if she was looking at an enemy.
Ling Zeheng had suspected that the dentist nad Lei Ning, wondering if he had done sothing to Ling Xiaoxuan.
The results of the investigation were clear and unremarkable.
To be utterly sure, he even personally followed up on it.
The outco was still clean.
Lei Ning had not done anything to Ling Xiaoxuan.
However, the estrangent and current hostility Xiaoxuan held towards him began after she t Lei Ning.
Because of this, Ling Zeheng couldn’t help but stay wary of Lei Ning.
He instinctively felt that there was sothing off about this man, but he wasn’t quite sure what.
A fox always shows its tail in the end – he was waiting for that day.
“Ling Zeheng, what on earth do you want?!”
There was a shrill outcry from a woman, resounding from outside the door.
Ling Xiaoxuan hadn’t even entered the room, but her discontent was already fully displayed.
If it was like before, she would at least call him “uncle”.
Now, she even called him by his full na.
Ling Zeheng sat calmly on the sofa, his deep and gentle eyes watching the girl approaching the room.
Ling Xiaoxuan’s cheeks were puffed out in anger, giving him a look of utter hatred.
“What do you an?!
Lei Ning and I are finally spending so ti together, but you forcibly made people bring back?!”
Ling Zeheng furrowed his eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice, “Are you living together with Lei Ning?”
Ling Xiaoxuan, with her chin held high, answered in a sharp and piercing voice: “So what if I am?
I am an adult now!”
“That’s okay.
Just be sure to use protection.”
Ling Xiaoxuan’s eyes went wide, all her queenly airs outside gone.
She pointed at Ling Zeheng with a trembling finger: “You…you have no sha!”
Ling Zeheng looked at her with indulgent eyes, like a child: “Don’t get angry.
Capital City is not too safe these days.
Stay ho properly.
You can et Lei Ning after so ti.
It’s not like you are separated star-crossed lovers.
I am not the heartless Queen Mother.
Don’t think of as a villain trying to separate a loving pair.”
