My love-brained brothers spoil me to the skies

Chapter 64 Let’s Cancel the Engagement

It was a cold night in late winter. Nangong Jin followed Gu Jingxing out of the club. Although he was wearing a shawl to keep warm, he was still stimulated by the cold wind and sneezed repeatedly.

She lowered her head and covered her nose in embarrassment. Suddenly, she felt a warmth. She turned her head and saw Gu Jingxing taking off his coat and putting it on her.

"Thank you!"

After the two people sat in the car, neither of them spoke to each other.

Nangong Jin clutched the collar of his coat tightly with his hands, looking out the window with a worried look in his heart.

Gu Jingxing's favor was too great, and she couldn't afford it or repay it now.

Even if he lost this bargaining chip and might suffer from the Nangong family's harassment, he could not hurt him like this again.

As if she had made up her mind, she suddenly sighed and said, "Let's cancel the engagement!"

In the dim carriage, Gu Jingxing leaned his head against the window with his hands, and he just looked at Nangong Jin quietly.

Gu Jingxing himself couldn't explain clearly what he felt about this person who had been with him for more than ten years.

He asked in a low voice: "Do you like He Zichen?"

After hearing this, Nangong Jin gripped his collar even tighter. He didn't answer him directly, and the expression on Nangong Jin's face couldn't be seen clearly.

He Zichen, the man who had been in Nangong Jin's life for six years, the man who was willing to give his life for her.

Gu Jingxing suddenly leaned forward and trapped her in a corner when she was defenseless.

The two of them were very close to each other, and he looked closely at Nangong Jin's eyes that were bright in the darkness.

"Nangong Jin, I am willing to be used by you. Now that the game has begun, you cannot quit halfway."

Nangong Jin was a little horrified and wanted to explain, "I..."

Gu Jingxing then hugged her tightly, "You don't have to feel guilty, just let me hug you for a while as interest! If you really feel bad, just come to Gu's house every week to have dinner with me!"

His voice spoke softly in Nangong Jin's ears. Such humble words made her close her eyes reluctantly, with tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"Okay! I promise you!"

The next day, Nangong Jin still had to force himself to go to work, because Zhou Xingyang's work was nearing completion and other preparations were also in full swing.

In order to thank Zhou Xingyang for his help, she specially invited him to dinner to express her gratitude.

Because of their work relationship, they could have dinner together openly this time.

"Xiao Jin, did Third Brother help you this time?"

Nangong Jin considerately pushed all the food that Zhou Xingyang liked in front of him.

"Of course, Third Brother, if I succeed, I'll treat you to a meal next time!"

Zhou Xingyang couldn't help but smile when he saw how happy the other person was.

"Xiao Jin, next time you have to remember to be the heroine of my music video!"

Nangong Jin paused holding the chopsticks when he heard this, and smiled a little forcedly, "If Third Brother really needs it, I will definitely do it! Hehe..."

In the next few days, the entire Nangong Group was extremely busy because Zhou Xingyang's advertisement became popular all over the country as soon as it was launched.

Both online and offline, the endorsed products were sold out, and long queues formed offline.

On the day of the official announcement alone, the turnover exceeded 100 million yuan, which shows the strength and influence of Zhou Xingyang as a top star.

Nangong Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the good news reported by Liang Xiao.

She finally gained a foothold in Nangong Group, and Nangong Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.

As he held the latest company report in his hand, a smile played on his face.

"It seems my sister is still capable. Humph, the good days of those old men on the board of directors are over!"

The old lady who had been staying in Nangong's house also received the news first.

She shouted loudly with an unhappy look on her face, asked her servants to support her, and took a car to Nangong Group.

board meeting

When others saw the old lady appear, everyone's face showed uneasiness, and they were guessing all kinds of possibilities in their hearts. After all, she had not been back for a long time!

The old lady's face became darker and darker as she listened to the good news. Finally, she suppressed her anger and slammed the table.

"Okay, all of you go out, Liang Shuang stay!"

After hearing this, the others hurried out as if they had been pardoned. Liang Shuang sat on the chair with his eyes lowered.

“Xiao Shuang, I asked you to do your best to stop Nangong Jin, and this is the answer you gave me!”

The old lady angrily threw the pile of documents at him, and the documents instantly scattered all over the floor.

Liang Shuang was not angry. Instead, he squatted down respectfully and picked up the documents one by one.

Then he sorted them out one by one and put them back in place. He then answered innocently, "Aunt, you are wrong about me! I did exactly what you told me to do, but I am the vice president and I have a president above me!"

His words, both explicit and implicit, were clear enough, and the old lady, looking at her most beloved nephew and his docile appearance, softened her heart.

"Next time you'd better get Nangong Jin away from me! Do you hear me!?"

Liang Shuang quickly nodded, stood up, and helped the old lady out of the meeting room.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Come on... why are you here? Grandma!"

Nangong Hao looked at the old woman in front of him, his eyes darkened, and he quickly walked over to support her.

"Hao'er, do you still have me as your grandma in your heart? Ah!"

Nangong Hao stood behind her with his head down, listening to her scolding.

"The Nangong family will always be handed over to you, don't let me down! Do you understand? Don't help people you shouldn't help, and don't recognize people you shouldn't recognize!"

Nangong Hao listened to the old lady's threat and answered lightly.

"I understand, grandma!" But there was indifference in his eyes.

That night, Nangong Jin returned to the Nangong family in a good mood. As soon as he arrived at the door, Amber came to greet him.

"Miss, the master asks you to go to the study!"

After hearing this, Nangong Jin's smile gradually faded, and he came to the door of the study room in a somewhat puzzled manner.

She took a peek inside and saw Nangong Heng sitting in the room reading a book, engrossed in it.

“Knock knock knock… Dad, are you looking for me?”

When Nangong Heng heard the voice, he immediately put down the book, smiled and waved for her to come over.

"Come sit over here, I've asked someone to prepare some snacks, come and eat!"

Nangong Jin glanced at the table and saw that it was indeed filled with quite a few snacks.

She walked over with a smile, and as soon as she sat down she picked up the snacks without hesitation and started eating with relish.

"Is it tasty?"

"Ok!"

"Xiao Jin, as the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. You'd better restrain yourself recently, okay?"

Then he pushed a piece of paper in front of Nangong Jin, "This might be useful to you, keep it!"

Nangong Jin patted the crumbs on his hands, opened it and took a look curiously, thinking to himself: Hmm, I didn’t expect that my father could be of some use!

Just like that, neither of them spoke again. After an unknown amount of time, Nangong Heng asked softly, "How have you and your mother been doing these years? Do you have enough money?"

When Nangong Jin heard the word "money", she suddenly remembered something. There used to be a day every month when her mother would look at her passbook and look unhappy.

Nangong Jin was still young at the time. She only knew that there were many zeros on the banknote, but her mother never used a penny of it. Nangong Jin asked why, and her mother just smiled and said, "These are for Xiaojin as a dowry!"

Nangong Jin thought of this and stole a glance at her father. The father and daughter were also enjoying this rare warm moment.

Nangong Jin returned to the company the next day and went directly to the company's legal department.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Come in!"

Chen Yi was busy processing documents, Nangong Jin walked over quietly and sat in front of him.

"It's you? What's the matter, Miss?" Chen Yi looked at her with interest and asked.

Nangong Jin confidently said directly: "I want to work in the Legal Department!"
