The atmosphere in the study suddenly became ambiguous. Even in the middle of winter, Nangong Jin actually felt very hot.

Her face was rosy and very pretty. She quickly became alert and guarded against the other person, staying away from Gu Jingxing.

"Don't mess around! I, I'm going to call for help!"

Gu Jingxing smiled evilly and pressed on, "Nangong Jin, do you want to regret this marriage? Am I no longer useful to you?"

Nangong Jin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He looked as if he had done something wrong and was too guilty to dare look him in the eye.

"You know everything?!"

Gu Jingxing stared at the person who was getting farther and farther away, with a smile on his face that became even wider.

“You want the Nangong family, I can help you!”

Seeing that the other party had confessed so frankly, Nangong Jin also had a desperate look on his face: "So what do you want? How about this, I'll help you take care of your father, and I'll set three rules!"

"Oh? You... think I will agree?"

Nangong Jin looked at the man's eyes that were as cunning as a fox, and felt unsure for a moment.

Gu Jingxing suddenly changed the subject: "Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything."

Then he took out a ring from his arms, placed it solemnly on Nangong Jin's hand, and looked at Nangong Jin affectionately.

"Wear it carefully and don't lose it, Mrs. Gu!"

Hearing this, Nangong Jin's face quickly became red again, and she held the ring in her palm with mixed feelings.

Gu Jingxing raised his hand to check the time, then gently took Nangong Jin's hand and walked out of the study.

"They should have almost finished eating. If we don't go down, I'm afraid they will fight! Let's go!"

Nangong Jin agreed with what he said and quickly followed him out.

The atmosphere downstairs was indeed very bad. Father Gu kept guarding Li Wanqin, but Nangong Heng did not dare to get angry because he no longer had the qualifications to do so.

And looking at the old lady's expression, you can tell that she has probably cursed Li Wanqin as a vixen countless times in her heart!

By the time the two of them came downstairs, everyone was already enjoying fruit after dinner.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Li Wanqin had to get up and pretend to go to the bathroom, and then left for a while.

Nangong Heng immediately followed after seeing this. The old lady looked unhappy and kept staring at the two of them.

When Li Wanqin walked to the corner, Nangong Heng eagerly grabbed her hand.

"Wanqin, are you doing well?"

Li Wanqin glanced at the man she once loved deeply, and slowly withdrew her hand: "I'm doing well, thank you for your concern!"

"Nangong Heng, I'll ask you to take good care of Xiao Jin!"

Nangong Heng smiled bitterly: "She is our daughter, of course I will protect her. I failed to protect you back then, but now I will sacrifice my life even if it costs me!"

After hearing this, Li Wanqin couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes. She turned around and walked away in a hurry.

At this time, Father Gu appeared behind him: "Nangong Heng, I helped you and gave Wanqin to you. It was the biggest mistake of my life! Now you are not qualified to appear in front of her again! Humph!"

His words were like a knife stabbing Nangong Heng's heart. He clenched his fists, lowered his head and sobbed.

Nangong Jin stood in the distance and watched silently. Suddenly, he felt a headache. What kind of triangle relationship was this? It was too messy. There was also a father named Zhou! Oh my God!

Nangong Jin wisely chose to be a bystander, as long as they didn't hurt her mother.

After waiting for a long time, the banquet was finally over, and Nangong Jin attentively accompanied his mother back home.

"Xiao Jin, I, I don't ask for anything else now, as long as you are happy!"

Li Wanqin caressed Nangong Jin's face tenderly with eyes full of pity.

"Mom, don't worry about me. The most important thing is that you are happy!"

For some unknown reason, the mother and daughter suddenly hugged each other and started crying.

On the other hand, Mrs. Nangong flew into a rage as soon as she got home.

"Nangong Heng, have you not given up on that woman yet? Look at her flirting with others right in front of you. She is simply a vixen!"

After hearing this, Nangong Heng's face turned cold, and the emotions that he had been suppressing for many years finally erupted at this moment.

His face was filled with grief as he roared, "Mother, when father passed away, I sacrificed my own happiness for the sake of our family. I have fulfilled my filial duty over the years. From now on, we are on our own way and have nothing to do with each other!"

After saying that, he rushed out with bloodshot eyes.

"You, you rebellious son!..."

Madam Nangong, who was standing far away, watched all this coldly, with so many years of resentment added to the humiliation she had suffered today.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms without feeling any pain.

"Nangong Heng, you forced me to do this, don't blame me!"

After bidding farewell to his mother reluctantly in the car, Nangong Jin was about to drive away.

At this time, a figure walked out from the Zhou family's gate.

Nangong Jin looked at the familiar figure and her heart suddenly began to pound. She quickly lowered her head and pretended not to see the other person.

"Xiao Jin, you're back!?"

Listening to that gentle voice as always, her heart suddenly tightened, and all the grievances she had suffered over the years came flooding back to her.

She was seen crying with her head down, her back turned to Zhou Ziqian, not daring to look back.

"Xiao Jin, be good and don't cry. Big brother is here!"

Zhou Ziqian gently held her in his arms and patted her back softly. After a long time, the girl in his arms gradually stopped crying.

Zhou Ziqian slowly withdrew his hand and looked greedily at the person in front of him whom he had been thinking about day and night.

Under the night light, Nangong Jin's eyes were red, and you could see tears hanging on her eyelashes. Her nose was red, and her face was rosy. She looked really pitiful.

Zhou Ziqian suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, bloated and uncomfortable.

"Big brother!"

Nangong Jin calmed down and shouted, "Brother!"

"Yeah! I'm here!"

"Big brother!"

"Yeah! I'm here!"

"..."

Nangong Jin seemed to want to finish calling him "Big Brother" for all these years.

"If Xiao Jin continues to act on his own, Big Brother will really be angry, do you understand?!"

The two of them sat together and talked about their respective recent experiences.

Uncle Zhou and Li Wanqin were standing not far away, watching the two of them.

"Xinhong, they..."

"Wanqin, let the young people decide for themselves, don't worry about them. If you don't come back today, I will go straight to the Gu family to snatch her away!"

After hearing this, Li Wanqin buried her head in his chest a little shyly.

By the time Nangong Jin returned home, it was already very late. She walked slowly in the quiet yard alone, trying to get rid of the day's boredom in her heart.

"Huh, well, let's just take it one step at a time! Nangong Jin, have a good sleep, and we'll see tomorrow..."

The moment she pushed open the door of her room, her voice suddenly stopped. She saw that the room was in a mess and all the clothes in the closet were cut up and thrown everywhere.

"Oh, it seems I can't sleep well today, I still have to catch thieves!"

She bent down and picked up the tattered clothes on the ground, sighing regretfully, "Really? You didn't even leave me one piece!"

After saying that, she held the clothes and walked towards Nangong Heng's study.

For now, the family can only rely on her father.

As soon as she reached the door, Nangong Jin pinched herself hard with her hands, and immediately her eyes were filled with tears, looking pitiful.

She knocked softly on the door.

"Knock knock knock...Dad, are you asleep?" The tone of voice sounded as aggrieved as possible.

As soon as Nangong Heng heard her voice, he immediately opened the door, only to see Nangong Jin crying with her lips pursed.

"Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you? Come in quickly!"

Perhaps because of his love and regret for Li Wanqin, Nangong Heng's heart was broken when he saw the face in front of him that looked like his beloved.

Nangong Jin followed him into the study timidly.

"Dad, can you help me borrow a piece of clothing from my sister? I need to wear it to work tomorrow..."

Nangong Heng found it very strange and was about to speak when he noticed the clothes she was holding tightly in her arms.

"what is this?"

He reached out and took it directly. Looking at the tattered and cracked holes on it, he was filled with rage.

"Xiao Jin, be good. Sit for a while. Dad will help you make the decision!"

As he said that, he shouted outside the door: "Tie Nangong Zhi up for me!"

Nangong Jin lowered his head, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, the show was about to begin!
