Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 88 The Source of Everything, Nanshan

Nanshan was completely stunned, looking at Nanyu in front of him as if he were a stranger.

He no longer listens to him like he did when he was a child. What caused him to become like this?
"Nanyu, what's wrong with you? Why did you do this?"

why?
Why did Nanshan kill Jiang Lan so quietly?
Nan Yu had heard about the car accident from back then, and five years ago he reinvestigated the incident.

Nan Que died unjustly, his life taken by a so-called "accident" simply because he discovered Jiang Lan and Nan Shan's affair.

Isn't Jiang Lan also a pitiful person?

Back then, the Nan family only ran a small company, but they were excellent people and treated everyone well. Old Master Lin took a liking to the Nan family, and after meeting them a few times, he decided to choose the Nan family's son as his son-in-law, but he didn't specify which one.

Firstly, it was to test whether the two of them would fight each other for the position of Lin's son-in-law, and secondly, it was to see which one Lin Jingshu preferred.

Nan Que's unique methods and insights in the business world won over Old Master Lin.

At the time, Lin Jingshu was still deeply in love with Qiu Hezhou. As an outsider, Old Master Lin had a longer-term perspective and anticipated that the two would not end up together. So he made a second choice for Lin Jingshu early on.

Even though Lin Jingshu was unwilling, Old Master Lin could only comfort her by saying that the Nan family was an alternative.

Old Master Lin spent a few more months observing Nan Que, and over time he grew to like Nan Que more and more. So he privately told the Nan family couple that he preferred Nan Que.

The original intention of the Nan family couple was for Nan Que to marry Lin Jing Shu, which would have fulfilled Old Master Lin's wishes and would have been more helpful to the Nan family in the business world.

The two families formed a marriage alliance.

But Nanshan was unwilling. Obtaining Lin Jingshu meant obtaining the entire Nan Group and even holding shares in the Lin Group.

If he wanted to obtain the Nan family, he had to obtain Lin Jingshu, but at that time he already had a secret lover, Jiang Lan.

Left with no other option, Nanshan forced Jiang Lan to do everything in her power to seduce Nan Que and prevent the marriage from happening.

During that time, Jiang Lan was too infatuated with Nan Shan, so she listened to him and used every means to successfully marry Nan Que.

Even after marrying Nan Que, Nan Shan and Jiang Lan remained entangled. A few months after their marriage, Jiang Lan became pregnant, and the child was Nan Shan's.

The Nan family was overjoyed to learn that Jiang Lan was pregnant, and they even hired two or three nannies to take care of her. Eight months later, the baby was born smoothly.

It was a boy, Nan Yu.

As his engagement banquet with Lin Jingshu drew closer, Nanshan grew increasingly impatient with Jiang Lan.

How can a woman be compared to power?

One day twenty-five years ago
When Nanshan pushed open the door, he saw Jiang Lan holding her three-month-old son and having breakfast in the restaurant.

"Where's Nan Que? Didn't he get up for breakfast?" Nan Shan asked with concern.

"Oh, he drank too much at a business dinner last night and didn't get home until late. I made him some hangover soup, and he went to sleep after drinking it. He's probably still asleep." Jiang Lan said gently.

Nanshan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then prepared to go upstairs.

With no one else around, Jiang Lan called out to Nanshan, "Have you had breakfast yet, Nanshan?"

Hearing that familiar voice and name, Nanshan felt as if he had been transported to another world. These past few days, he had been busy with his engagement party with Lin Jingshu and had neglected Jiang Lan.

"I've already eaten." The tone wasn't very friendly, and the two maintained a distance between them.

He turned and walked to the dining table, bent down, picked up Nan Yu from Jiang Lan's arms, and kissed him.

Jiang Lan called out his name without any restraint, which meant there was no one else at home. So he decided not to pretend anymore.

Xiao Nanyu squinted his eyes and smiled as he babbled to Nanshan.

Nanshan patted Nanyu's back affectionately.

"When will my son be able to call me Dad?" Nanshan asked Jiang Lan with a smile.

Becoming a father for the first time always brings an indescribable fondness for the child.

"He must be over a year old, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Of course, after all, it's my first child."

Jiang Lan felt a warmth in her heart watching this scene; at this moment, they truly felt like a family. "What have you been busy with all these days?" Jiang Lan stirred the white porridge in her bowl with a spoon, pretending to be nonchalant.

Nanshan glanced at Jiang Lan and continued to coax Nanyu.

"Don't you know what I'm busy with?"

How could Jiang Lan not know? For the engagement banquet of the youngest daughter of the Lin family, Old Master Lin invited most of the prominent and powerful families in Beijing. She was already tired of seeing the overwhelming news about it online!

She just wanted to hear Nanshan's answer, to hear him choose her without hesitation, to tell her that he loved her the most.

"Nanshan, can you please say you love me?" Jiang Lan pleaded as she said this.

At this moment, she was like a beggar wagging her tail, begging for some spiritual nourishment.

"Don't be unreasonable," Nanshan said gently.

The gentle words spoken to Jiang Lan were actually directed at Nan Yu.

Jiang Lan's heart turned to ice.

When did saying "I love you" become considered being unreasonable?

"Did you really say that you would get rid of Lin Jingshu after we got married?" Jiang Lan looked down at the porridge in her bowl, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

Nanshan was trying to make Nanyu happy when he heard this sudden remark. He first turned cold and then said irritably, "The Lin family is second only to the Lu family. Do you think I can get rid of her so easily? Can you stop talking nonsense?"

Are these things either present or absent?

Were all those things he said before false? Were they all lies to her?
"So everything you said before was a lie?"

"No."

"Then why are you avoiding those topics now? Or have you really fallen in love with Lin Jingshu?" Jiang Lan made a huge assumption in her mind.

She hoped this assumption was false; she didn't want Nanshan to fall in love with anyone else; she hoped Nanshan would only ever love her.

I waited a long time but still didn't receive a reply from Nanshan.

Jiang Lan felt more confident.

So who is she?
Is her brother's wife or his secret incestuous lover?

What is Nan Yu anyway?
Is he a blood-related nephew or his illegitimate son?
What will become of them, mother and son, from now on?
Standing on the spiral staircase on the second floor, Nan Que heard Jiang Lan and Nan Shan's conversation clearly.

Anger blinded him, and hatred reached his heart.

His most respected brother had always schemed against him and Lin Jingshu in order to become the president of the Nan Corporation.

Now even his most beloved son isn't his biological child. Nan Que suppressed his anger, wanting to hear more useful information.

However, Nanshan came out of the restaurant and prepared to go upstairs. Nanque watched Nanshan come up the stairs and could no longer suppress his anger.

Nan Que stormed downstairs in a huff. Nan Shan's heart sank when he saw Nan Que coming downstairs. Had they overheard everything he said?

Just as Nanshan was about to ask a few tentative questions, Nanque grabbed his shirt collar and demanded, "Why did you lie to me?"

"you"?
Upon hearing this question, Nanshan's first reaction was to eliminate Nanque!

He knows Nan Que too well; he is an upright and resourceful man, and he will definitely tell Old Master Lin everything he has heard and knows.

Although it was Nanshan who eventually married Lin Jingshu, Old Master Lin's affection for Nan Que was genuine.

Perhaps after this matter is exposed, the person who will marry Lin Jingshu will become Nan Que.

If Nan Que is not eliminated, then his life will be in Nan Que's hands.

He doesn't like being controlled, but he likes to control others.

Therefore, he had no choice but to take drastic measures against Nan Que.
