My love-brained brothers spoil me to the skies

The originally spacious study room was originally noisy and chaotic, and the crowd suddenly became quiet, and they all looked towards the man who looked like a god descending from heaven at the door.

The man had a cold and handsome face, and he quickly and ruthlessly scanned the people in the room until his eyes fell on Nangong Jin, then he softened.

"Nangong Jin, you've made yourself look like this after just one day of not seeing you. I regret letting you come back!"

His words were gentle yet domineering, and his hand carefully supported Nangong Jin's injured left hand.

Nangong Jin lowered his head feeling guilty upon hearing this. He could only grit his teeth and dared not utter a word. He was completely different from the aggressive man just now.

Gu Jingxing moved closer to her, snorted coldly, touched her face, and looked at her pale lips with some heartache.

"Just wait for me here and don't try to show off!"

Then he walked straight in and came in front of the old lady.

"Old lady, I just heard someone bullying my fiancée, is that right?"

The old lady's slightly cloudy eyes were full of surprise. She turned her head slightly to glance at Madam Nangong. Her sharp eyes made the other person tighten her hand.

Madam Nangong could only bite the bullet and explain with a smile: "Jingxing! It must have been too noisy just now. Did you hear it wrong?"

Gu Jingxing's eyes narrowed coldly, "Then I would like to ask, Auntie, what are you doing? Why is it so lively?"

"Jingxing, this is our family affair, don't interfere!" The old lady looked at the other party with forced calmness.

The person involved, Nangong Heng, has been staying by Li Wanqin's side. Li Wanqin has no intention of arguing about these things anymore and all her attention is on Nangong Jin.

Nangong Jin was a little depressed. She couldn't let her mother suffer in vain. She suddenly covered her arm and shouted, "Jingxing, my hand hurts!"

Gu Jingxing didn't care about anyone else and quickly ran to Nangong Jin, "How are you? Where does it hurt?"

Nangong Jin looked at the other person with tears in his eyes, his mouth pursed, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Maybe grandma hurt me just now. Ouch, my back hurts too, Jingxing, wuwuwu..."

"Okay, stop crying. I'll hold you in my arms and no one can bully you!" He carefully wiped the tears from Nangong Jin's face.

He hugged Nangong Jin, his eyes bursting with unspeakable anger, "Nangong Jin is my Gu Jingxing's woman, old lady, aunt, the two of you should not go to the charity dinner tomorrow, otherwise you will become the laughing stock of others!"

The old lady's face changed drastically when she heard this. "Jingxing, that is the most grand banquet in the capital. If we don't attend, the Nangong family will be even more ridiculed. We can discuss it..."

The old lady was so furious that she looked at the smug Nangong Jin in Gu Jingxing's arms and wanted to eat her alive to vent her anger.

Mrs. Nangong's face looked very bad. After all, this would make her even more embarrassed in front of other noble ladies.

Gu Jingxing ignored their resentment. He looked down at Nangong Jin's pale face. Although he knew she did it on purpose, he was still willing to be used by her.

"You just apologize to my fiancée, and then you pay for all the subsequent medical expenses! This matter is over now."

"Impossible, Jingxing, as an elder, what's wrong with me saying a few words to her? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others for pampering her like this?"

The old lady refused without even thinking about it. The atmosphere became extremely tense. Li Wanqin then slowly walked up to Nangong Jin and tugged at her clothes.

"Xiao Jin, Mommy is feeling a little uncomfortable and wants to go back. Let's go, okay?"

Nangong Jin looked at his mother's pleading eyes and finally softened his heart, "Jingxing, I, I'm tired, I want to go home!"

Her voice was soft and sticky, and she spoke coquettishly.

When Gu Jingxing heard her say "go home", he was suddenly very happy, "Okay, let's go home!"

He carefully supported Nangong Jin and walked out.

"I hope you remember what I just said, otherwise I will make it impossible for you to gain a foothold in the circle!"

Until they walked away, the old lady suddenly got angry, shook off Madam Nangong's hand, and slapped her in the face with a loud and crisp sound!

Madam Nangong covered her red face and stared at the old lady with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Mom, what did I do wrong? You're going to hit me!"

"You are wrong because you are not favored. You can't even keep your husband. You should reflect on yourself!"

The old lady left the study room unreasonably, leaving Shen Qianyu with an angry face!

"Hahaha, very good, this slap has wiped out the last of my conscience! Hahaha..."

After Nangong Heng sent Li Wanqin away, he returned to his study in a daze.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Shen Qianyu kneeling on the ground, covering her face and laughing.

He sat on a chair far away from her with some disgust in his eyes, "Qianyu, you, go back and rest early!"

"Nangong Heng, I'll ask you one last time, have you ever loved me, even a little bit?"

Nangong Heng frowned and looked at her, thinking that she was unreasonable. "I only have responsibility to you, I can't give you anything else!"

Shen Qianyu seemed to have finally given up. She wiped her tears, stood up unsteadily, and walked out the door with empty eyes, crying and laughing.

Nangong Heng stood up and slowly walked to the pictures that Li Wanqin had sent him. He sat down on the ground weakly and gently stroked each stroke on them with his fingertips. His eyes were full of unspeakable love, as if he was thinking of someone when he saw the pictures.

Shen Qianyu returned to her deserted room, without turning on the lights, and just sat on the floor with empty eyes.

At this moment, an excited voice broke in!

"Mom, are you there? Why is it so dark? Why don't you turn on the lights?"

The room suddenly lit up. Shen Qianyu subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands and squinted at the person who came.

"Mom, I just tried on that dress. It's so beautiful! It's like it was tailor-made for me. I can't wait to attend the dinner!"

Nangong Zhi hugged Shen Qianyu from behind and hadn't noticed anything unusual. Shen Qianyu came to her senses and pulled his hand with a sour tone.

"Xiaozhi, we won't be attending the dinner tomorrow. Don't think about it. Go to bed early!" She spoke in a soft, weak voice.

"What? What did you say? I won't listen. Why not go? All the important people in the circle have gone to participate. If our Nangong family doesn't go, where will we put our face in the future!?"

Nangong Zhi stood up suddenly and retorted excitedly, not noticing her mother's abnormality at all, and ran out angrily.

Shen Qianyu looked at her receding back, and she knew in her heart how upset she would be. She had originally wanted to take advantage of this banquet to help Nangong Zhi find a few young men from aristocratic families, but now everything was ruined.

All of this is Nangong Jin's fault. Her mother ruined my happiness, and now she is going to ruin her own daughter's happiness.

"Nangong Jin! I will fight you to the death!"

She shouted with a fierce look in her eyes, and she didn't feel any pain at all even though her fingernails dug deeply into her flesh.
