Night Fire Lingering

Wen Yan knew that Nan Zhiyi was not as kind as she seemed on the surface.

Nan Zhiyi's thoughts were deeply hidden. Everything she did was self-righteous, as if she didn't know right from wrong or understand public order and morality. At the same time, because of Nan Yun, Wen Yan harbored a natural malice towards Nan Zhiyi deep down. Therefore, Wen Yan always controlled herself and never suspected Nan Zhiyi of the worst possible intentions.

In retrospect, she should have let go of her moral shackles long ago.

Nan Zhiyi sat in the VIP waiting area, quickly scrolling through the gossip information she found on her phone, but she couldn't find any negative gossip about Wen Yan, even though Ji Chang had notified quite a few people to go and watch the show.

She found it strange and asked several socialites from the upper echelons of society she had met at the banquet for information.

The other party quickly replied: "I don't know who was so unethical as to spread these false rumors, making me go to check it out. Turns out, President Gu was helping a man out. President Gu can't very well be helping someone who's been cuckolded, can he?"

Another person replied: [Wen Yan cheated? No, I only heard that she and Young Master Gu rescued a man at a hotel, and that man is supposedly from the Jiang family in Nancheng!]

Why would Gu Yanci go?

Wasn't he angry at all when he found Wen Yan with another man?

The water contained a lot of medicinal ingredients. Was that man named Jiang Huaixu impotent?

Nan Zhiyi was completely baffled, failing to notice the exclamation mark added to the phrase "that person from the Jiang family of Nancheng" that the other party specifically mentioned.

"Zhiyi, what are you thinking about? You seem distracted." Nanyun noticed her daughter's unusual behavior and asked.

"No, it's nothing."

"Let's go, it's time to board." Nan Yun stood up and reminded her daughter.

"Mommy, is she leaving just like that?" Nan Zhiyi looked out the window, watching planes fly away one by one, and couldn't help but look at the airport entrance.

"What else do you want to do?" Nan Yun's tone was as gentle as ever, but Nan Zhiyi inexplicably sensed some coldness and warning in it.

Sure enough, Mommy's heart now leans towards Wenyan.

Mommy didn't want to leave at all, but she didn't want her to appear in front of Wenyan. Most importantly, Wenyan didn't recognize Mommy.

“Mommy, I didn’t mean to do anything.” Nan Zhiyi smiled bitterly. “I just felt regretful that Yan didn’t come to see me off.”

Upon hearing this, Nan Yun's expression softened slightly as she looked at Nan Zhiyi. She couldn't help but gaze towards the airport entrance, hoping to see the figure she had been longing for day and night.

However, there was nothing.

"Let's go, Zhiyi."

Nan Yun walked ahead, and after taking only two steps, she suddenly heard rapid footsteps behind her.

"Miss Nan, Ms. Nan, please wait!"

Nan Yun's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head in surprise, but the next second her face showed disappointment.

Nan Zhiyi was startled, but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who it was.

The visitors were several men in plain clothes. One of them said, "Miss Nan, our master and mistress would like to invite you in."

"Who are your husband and wife?" Nan Yun asked, puzzled.

"Our husband's surname is Jiang."

Suddenly, the image of the socialite mentioning the "Jiang family of Nancheng" flashed through Nan Zhiyi's mind. Jiang Huaixu also shared the surname Jiang, and her face turned deathly pale.

They've come knocking on our door!

"I'm sorry, I have to catch a flight." Nan Zhiyi was unwilling to go and looked to Nan Yun for help.

Nan Yun felt that the Jiang family was being unreasonable and was about to speak up for her daughter when the man said, "Ms. Nan, your daughter, Miss Nan, intended to harm my young master, and her targets also include Miss Wen Yan. This matter has nothing to do with you. You can return to your country first, but Miss Nan must stay!"

As the man paused, the others in his group surrounded Nan Yun and Nan Zhiyi.

"Miss Nan, the choice is yours: to leave on your own or to be taken away."
