Chapter 978: Vying For Favor

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Jiang family felt that once their Qianqian became the legitimate granddaughter of the Nangong family, they could rescue Zhong Kuijun anytime.

Duke Eton sent Zhong Qianqian to prison and the Nangong family ordered her release two days later, did they not?

The excuse he used was the same as the excuse Zhong Nuannuan used earlier—involuntary manslaughter.

If Zhou Jinhui’s illness did not act up, Zhong Qianqian’s little push would not have sent him to his death. Anyone with eyes could tell that Zhong Qianqian did not use much force.

Therefore, even though Zhong Qianqian had been widely reported as an evil stepsister and everyone knew that she was sent to prison, nobody dared to say anything now that she was released so quickly. It was as though the various entertainment news agencies were all blind, and none of them reported this.

In short, the Gu family had emerged from a quagmire to paradise.

Zhong Nuannuan was also surprised to receive a call from the Nangong family.

After all, she planned to stay in Jiang District for ten to twenty days before heading to Emperor District. However, after staying in Jiang District for only a week, she received a call from Lil Ling’er.

The moment she heard Lil Ling’er’s voice, there was a visible softness surrounding Zhong Nuannuan. She nestled in Big Brother Chi Yang’s embrace and listened to Lil Ling’er’s childish voice. She was definitely living a very enjoyable life.

“Lil Ling’er, why are you calling Auntie?”

“Auntie, lemme tell you a secret.”

Thinking about how cute the little girl was with her big sparkling black eyes, Zhong Nuannuan could not help but smile.

“Oh, what is it?”

“That disgusting Zhong Qianqian is getting married. Hurry up and come back to face-smack her!”

Zhong Nuannuan smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll definitely come back to slap her face.”

“Really?”

“Mmhmm.”

“Auntie, I miss you. Great-grandfather, Grandfather, Second Granduncle, Third Granduncle, as well as Dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, and Sixth Uncle all miss you. Come back quickly! Second Granduncle is studying recipes at home every day and wants to make delicious food for you!”

“Hey, I told you to let me explain. You never go straight to the point. How’s Auntie supposed to know when she should come back?”

Lil Sun could not stand Lil Ling’er anymore. He snatched the phone from his sister’s hand and went straight to the point.

“Auntie, Zhong Qianqian is getting married in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. You mustn’t miss it! Little Ling’er and I will support you as you face-smack her!”

Zhong Nuannuan felt a surge of warmth inside. She smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

Standing next to the twins, Nangong Ze could not hold it down anymore. He rolled a newspaper into a cylinder and smacked Lil Sun’s head. He whispered, “Rascal, how dare you say it’s just the both of you?”

In the hospital, with Old Master Nangong in the center, Nangong Shu, Nangong Qin, Nangong Zhao, Nangong Jin, Nangong Li, Nangong Yun, Nangong Zheng, Nangong Yi, and Nangong Ze were all eagerly waiting. When they heard that the two little ones did not mention them in the end, their tempers flared.

Everyone saw Lil Sun getting hit and all the men in the Nangong family—including Old Master Nangong who doted on his great-grandchildren aplenty—agreed in unison that Nangong Ze did well.

In the past, Old Master Nangong had thought that Lil Sun was very trustworthy at a very young age, but now, he knew Lil Sun was totally unreliable!

“Auntie, it’s not just me and Lil Ling’er. Great-grandfather, Grandfather, Second Granduncle, Third Granduncle, Dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle…”
