Chapter 873: Treasure
So… had the three old men joined forces to murder General Nangong?
No way!!!
However, soon enough, Old Hong’s attention was caught by Zhong Nuannuan’s technique.
After inserting a few needles, a healthy pink started to blossom on Old General Nangong’s pale face.
After inserting a few more, Old Master Nangong’s breathing sounded significantly smoother.
Soon, Old Master Nangong, whose heart was already beating at a calmer rate, opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, Old Master Nangong was still in a daze. When he saw Zhong Nuannuan, he suddenly burst into tears. “Yu’er… Yu’er, my Yu’er, you’re finally back to see Daddy? Yu’er, where have you been all these years? Daddy and Mommy miss you so much. Urgh…”
When the old general saw Zhong Nuannuan, he broke into tears like a child.
Seeing Old Master Nangong crying like this, Zhong Nuannuan suddenly felt a strange warmth in her heart, and it quickly rushed to her head.
If she had not blinked a few times quickly, her tears would have fallen too.
Zhong Nuannuan, “…”
She had already decided not to return to the Nangong family, had she not?
However, looking at how heartbreaking Old Master Nangong’s wails in spite of his age, Zhong Nuannuan could not help feeling bad too…
“Old Man Nangong, you must be mistaken, right? This is my granddaughter-in-law, Nuannuan, not your Yu’er. Hmm… I was just happy that Chi Yang has finally found himself a wife, so I invited you guys over to meet my granddaughter-in-law. Who knew that it’ll affect you that much.
“Old Man Nangong, uh… Even though I’m quite petty about it, seeing that we have been friends for so many years and my granddaughter-in-law is already calling you ‘Grandpa’, you can treat her as your own granddaughter too. Feel free to be nice to her. There’s no need to be polite with me!”
Elder Xu and Elder Li glanced at Elder Chi. Why did his words sound so prickly?
Old Master Chi told others to treat his granddaughter-in-law well, simultaneously allowing his granddaughter-in-law to take advantage of other people’s kindness. Yet, he acted as though he had granted others the best honor ever.
However, Old Master Chi had not thought about that at all.
His Little Girl Nuan had status and wealth, just like his grandson. She was from a super wealthy family in the first place and did not need to take advantage of anyone.
Therefore, everything he said was true and sincere.
Nangong Renyi did not think that Old Man Chi was being cocky. He looked at Old Man Chi for a while before looking at Zhong Nuannuan. He asked with pitiful eyes, “Really? Are you really willing to be my granddaughter?”
Initially, Nuannuan wanted to say no, but when she saw the expectant look in Old Master Nangong’s eyes, her “no” got stuck in her throat for a long time.
In the end, she could only nod.
Even so, Old Master Nangong looked like he had just gotten his hands on a rare treasure. “Good, good, good! Thank you, Little Girl! Thank you so much!”
Zhong Nuannuan shook her head. “It’s nothing. You’re my Grandpa’s good friend. I’ll treat you like you’re my grandpa too.”
“That won’t do! We’ve already agreed that you’ll treat me like I’m your grandpa. Since that’s what we agreed on, we should take things seriously. Wait for me. In a week, I’ll hold a banquet at the Nangong residence. I want to announce my granddaughter’s presence to the whole world!”
Zhong Nuannuan, “…”
Old Master Chi, “…-_- ”
Old Master Chi felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
How painful!
Old Hong’s eyes widened when he saw Old Master Nangong’s rapid transition into chatting while lying on the ground as though nothing happened.
More importantly, was he aware of the danger that he was in just now? One wrong move and he would have ended up dead!
