Chapter 1231: Chapter 1243
Beside him, Mr. Nangong chid in, saying, "Yes, kids fighting is like playing house, it’s too common. Why be so hard on them?"
Mr. Gongsun sighed lightly, "It’s easy for you to say; your grandchildren are all so well-behaved, never causing you any trouble. Especially Miss Man Sha from the Nangong Family, she’s the pride and model of your family. If only one of my kids were half as good as Man Sha, I’d be satisfied."
Mr. Gongsun sighed and lanted, causing Mr. Yu Wen to beco curious.
"By the way, Mr. Nangong, you don’t plan to marry off your Man Sha, right? I’ve heard that those proposing are nearly breaking through your door. Aren’t you even slightly interested?"
Mr. Nangong thought of Man Sha’s condition and sighed silently, but outwardly he pretended to be very calm, gently shaking his head, "Forget it, Man Sha is still young. I can’t bear to part with her just yet; let’s keep her by my side for a few more years."
Mr. Nangong might say that, but they could sense so helplessness and bitterness from his words.
However, they were smart and had heard bits about Man Sha’s situation, but were choosing to act unaware.
Yuwen Kangli couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud from the side.
Mr. Yu Wen glared at him, "What’s wrong with you? In front of so many elders, how can you be so rude!"
Yuwen Kangli apologized with a smile and explained, "I just heard so news today, and listening to your conversation, I couldn’t help but laugh."
Mr. Yu Wen glared at him, "What news?"
"Did you all know? Miss Man Sha has a boyfriend."
Yuwen Kangli said mysteriously, his face brimming with pride as if he was the first to know.
Otherwise, the whole Capital City would have known by now.
Mr. Nangong looked surprised at Yuwen Kangli, puzzled, he asked, "What did you say? Man Sha has a boyfriend?"
"I say, Mr. Nangong, you’re not quite the grandpa you should be, are you? Your granddaughter has a boyfriend, and yet you’re still kept in the dark."
Beside him, Old Master Huang Pu teased, smiling at Mr. Nangong, "Have you been too harsh on my granddaughter usually? So much so that she doesn’t tell you anything?"
Mr. Nangong sneered lightly, turning to glance at Old Master Huang Pu, "Look who’s talking. You, as her grandpa, didn’t know either, even though you always say that you’re closest to Man Sha."
Old Master Huang Pu countered defiantly, "I’m close to her, but I don’t ddle in her friendships like you. You’ve rejected all her suitors, keeping everything in check, and now she has a boyfriend. Your feelings must be mixed."
Mr. Nangong glared at Old Master Huang Pu indeed with mixed emotions; happy to see Man Sha willing to open her heart to soone, but worried about her physical condition.
Just as Mr. Nangong and Old Master Huang Pu were about to get into an argunt, Yuwen Kangli smilingly broke in, "Don’t both of you want to know who Miss Man Sha’s boyfriend is?"
Mr. Nangong and Old Master Huang Pu exchanged a glance, hearing Yuwen Kangli’s implication that the person was soone familiar to them.
"Who is it?"
Mr. Nangong looked at him suspiciously, while Old Master Huang Pu was similarly intrigued.
Mr. Yu Wen glared at Yuwen Kangli, threatening to hit him, "You sly boy, when did you learn to play tricks? Quickly tell the two masters who the person is."
Yuwen Kangli glanced helplessly at his grandfather, "Grandpa, let
sell so suspense. You all know this person, and you even respect him greatly."
Several old masters simultaneously focused their gaze on Yuwen Kangli, curious, "We know him?"
"And truly respect him?"
Suddenly Mr. Nangong thought of soone but reconsidered, feeling it unlikely.
Mr. Yu Wen smacked Yuwen Kangli on the back, "You brat, quickly say who it is!"
Yuwen Kangli looked aggrieved, pouting, "It’s Chu Ge, Mr. Chu."
Everyone present was stunned, especially Gongsun Lihan, who widened her eyes staring at Yuwen Kangli, "What did you say? Nangong Man Sha with whom?"
Yuwen Kangli looked proudly at Gongsun Lihan, chuckling softly, "You heard right; it’s Mr. Chu Ge, Mr. Chu. So you were just trying to woo Miss Man Sha."
Gongsun Lihan’s expression changed drastically; she pressed her thin lips together, standing there, and dared not speak further.
Beside her, Gongsun Linhua also sported a peculiar expression, gazing inscrutably at Yuwen Kangli, pondering.
Old Master Huang Pu froze for a mont, "You just said Man Sha and who? Mr. Chu?"
Mr. Nangong also looked curiously at him; if he rembered correctly, Chu Ge seed to have a fiancée.
Unlike Old Master Huang Pu’s cheerful deanor, Mr. Nangong’s face darkened slightly; after contemplating for a mont, he said, "Go find Man Sha, and ask what’s going on."
He admired Chu Ge, no doubt, but that didn’t an he wanted his granddaughter to be a mistress. Nangong Yinghao’s granddaughter was inherently proud, and he wouldn’t allow her to suffer emotionally.
The housekeeper outside heard Mr. Nangong’s command and promptly went to find Nangong Man Sha.
Nangong Man Sha was chatting with so corporate executives when she saw the housekeeper hurrying over, montarily stunned.
"Miss Man Sha, the Old Master requests your presence."
The housekeeper said.
Nangong Man Sha asked, puzzled, "My grandfather is here too?"
"Yes, not only the Old Master but Old Master Huang Pu as well. They’re all in the second-floor lounge."
Nangong Man Sha apologized to the executives and followed the housekeeper to the eting room.
On the way past the banquet hall, Nangong Man Sha glanced inside a few tis, hoping to spot Chu Ge but didn’t see him.
With curiosity in her heart, she told the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, go and check the hall, see where Mr. Chu is. If you find him, bring him along."
The housekeeper complied.
Nangong Man Sha then entered the eting room, feeling the atmosphere was sowhat odd.
Nangong Man Sha looked puzzled at everyone, greeted them individually, then walked between Old Master Huang Pu and Mr. Nangong, curiously asking, "Grandpa, grandpa, how did you both find ti to co here?"
Mr. Nangong had a slightly stern expression; he looked at Nangong Man Sha coldly as if he had sothing to say.
