“So, I threatened her in return, telling her not to get the Nangong family involved in a war for the sake of the minor Wu family. I even tried to befriend her, telling her that if she let this go, not only would the Shi family forget about everything, but we would even take care of the Wu family in the future, allowing them to remain the wealthiest family in Sea District.
“But Nangong Nuannuan doesn’t respect the Shi family name at all. I was extending an olive branch to her, and she didn’t accept my goodwill. Even when I humbled the Shi family name, she still acted all high and mighty. Fourth Young Master, she doesn’t respect you or the Shi family at all! Fourth Young Master, as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water.My brother-in-law is your cousin, so I’m a member of the Shi family, right? Please save me! Take care of that arrogant woman for me!”
“Shut up!” Shi Maowen’s words were spat through gritted teeth.
“Shi family? You think you’re a member of the Shi family? Family members should bring glory to the family name. What have you done? Besides disaster, what have you brought?”
“I know I shouldn’t have been so hasty. When Wu Zongxu said that he had a video, I should have believed him. I should have spoken to you earlier and waited for your instructions. Fourth Young Master, I know I was wrong! I won’t do it ever again. Please save me! If you don’t save me, I’m really done for! You don’t understand. Nangong Nuannuan is simply too powerful. Not only did she get Wu Zongxu’s video, but she even had someone secretly record me. Then, she got someone to hack into the Sea District’s administrative department’s network. Now, my video has been seen by all the district’s department heads. Now they all think that I did what Wu Jingzhong and Xu Binren did. I can’t defend myself!”
Shi Maowen was angered by Lan Weisong’s words and laughed.
“Now you find out that Nangong Nuannuan is powerful? Two months ago, the Shi family called you, a key cultivation target, to Emperor District for an emergency meeting. What were you doing when they told you not to provoke the Nangong family or Nangong Nuannuan?”
“I…” Lan Weisong’s mood darkened. He said dejectedly, “I knew I couldn’t provoke the Nangong family, but I thought Nangong Nuannuan was just a young miss the Nangong family recently adopted. I thought that even though her name is Nangong Nuannuan, the Nangong family was just a family to her. How could the Nangong family fall out with the Shi family for the sake of a mere granddaughter? Besides, I didn’t offend her! She was the aggressive one! She doesn’t respect our Shi family. Even when I mentioned the Shi family, she didn’t show any sign of backing down. I… I really didn’t expect her to not hesitate to pit the Nangong family against the Shi family for the sake of the minor and unrelated Wu family. Who could have guessed that she would pit her own family against such a powerful force just to help some outsiders?”
“Lan Weisong, let me ask you this. When you came to meet the Shi family for a meeting, I told you not to provoke the Nangong family and Nangong Nuannuan. I also said something else. Do you still remember what it was?” Shi Maowen suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.
“You repeated the warning to not provoke Nangong Nuannuan.” As Lan Weisong answered the question, the sweat on his back instantly dried.
He was scared sh*tless.
Having been given the opportunity to become a lieutenant governor, he, Lan Weisong, was definitely not a stupid person.
Shi Maowen had specifically asked him to recall this additional sentence, so he now was very sure that Nangong Nuannuan was not an ordinary person at all. She was an existence that even the Shi family feared.
