Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Nangong Xuyao gripped the paper tightly in his hands. His eyes were red and he gritted his teeth, trying to restrain the turmoil churning inside him. He kept panting heavily as if trying to vent the anger in his chest, but nothing seemed to alleviate it.
After a long while, he finally got his inner rage under control. Then, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. He took out his phone and made a call. “Hello Mother, are you busy?”
Upon hearing Nangong Xuyao’s voice, Murong Yanshu’s tone turned cold. “I’m not busy, but if this is about discussing Ye Xiyuan, there’s no need to continue. Accepting her as my goddaughter is already the biggest concession I can make.’
Usually, she wouldn’t care at all about the Ye family’s affairs. If Ye Xiyuan hadn’t saved her, she wouldn’t have made such a decision. One had to know that becoming a young lady of the Nangong family was like gilding oneself with gold. This was something many young ladies from other families dreamed about!
“Mother, don’t worry. 1 do want to discuss Ye Xiyuan with you today,” said Nangong Xuyao. At this point, a cold light flashed in his eyes, “However, 1 1 m not here to oppose your decision. I think it’s very good. I agree with it completely.”
Upon hearing this, Murong Yanshu was stunned. She pulled the phone away and looked at the name on the screen. Then she asked suspiciously, “Xuyao, are you alright?”
At this moment, she wondered if the person on the phone with her was really her son. Just last night he had been so strongly against her decision, determined not to become siblings Ye Xiyuan. And now after only one night, he had changed his mind.
This change was too sudden. She didn’t feel a trace of surprise but rather shock.
“Mother, what are you talking about!” Hearing Murong Yanshu’s doubtful tone, Nangong Xuyao couldn’t help but facepalm. “Weren’t you very firm about not letting me be with Ye Xiyuan? Since that’s the case, shouldn’t you be happy that I’ve agreed to your request today?”
“If you’ve really made this decision, then of course I’m happy,” Murong Yanshu said seriously over the phone. “But if you’re just brushing me off, then I’ll be very unhappy.”
She didn’t think one night was enough to change a person so drastically. This change was too abrupt. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed suspicious.
“Mother, I’ve just come to understand it,” said Nangong Xuyao, his lips curling into a cold smile. “You’re right. I’m the young master of the Nangong family. I have my own duties and responsibilities. Ye Xiyuan is indeed not qualified to be the Nangong family’s matriarch. So I think your suggestion is very good.”
Although suspicious of Nangong Xuyao’s sudden change, Murong Yanshu still responded, “Since you’ve decided, I’ll ask Ye Xiyuan again to see what she thinks. If she still doesn’t want to, then give the Ye family some benefits to thank Ye Xiyuan for saving her life last night.”
Hearing Murong Yanshu mention the life-saving grace, Nangong Xuyao’s expression darkened even more. “Don’t worry, Mother. 1 know what to do.”
After hanging up the phone, Nangong Xuyao waved his hand and swept everything on the table onto the floor. He muttered sinisterly, “Ye Xiyuan, you’re very clever, fooling me like this, aren’t you?”
Originally, because of Ye Xiyuan’s actions last night, he didn’t plan to investigate that past incident anymore. However, early this morning he unexpectedly received a package. Inside it was a medical bill, claiming he had to pay for the treatment that saved him back then.
When he saw the bill, at first he thought it was a prank. But when he saw the bullet shell that came with the bill, he was stunned.
That was the bullet shell left behind when he was shot. Therefore, this bill was not a joke, but real. Although he didn’t know why it came so late, he could be sure this bill was sent by his real lifesaver..
