Lu Lehua was infuriated, her hands trembling with anger. “How dare you speak to me like that, you despicable creature?” “Who gave you the right to talk to me like this?”
She was her mother!
Even if she disliked her, as a daughter, she could only respect her and obey her.
The expression on Old Madam Qin’s face turned angry, and upon hearing this, she could no longer contain her fury.
Qin Lu restrained her hand, gesturing for her to calm down.
After all, this was a family matter of Nan Yan’s, and they were outsiders who shouldn’t interfere.
But as he watched the little girl being bullied like this, Qin Lu couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.
And also, a pang of heartache for her.
He had only witnessed it once, and it had already made him furious.
And she had been treated like this ever since she was brought back to the An family. How miserable must she be?
If she hadn’t been completely disappointed in this family, how could she have chosen to separate herself from them and cut ties?
Under the imposing dominance of Lu Lehua, Nan Yan lazily raised her gaze, speaking coldly, “How much money do you need to sever my relationship with the An family?”
“I’ve lived with your family for two years. Is 20 million enough?” While Nan Yan spoke, An Yaoqing’s gaze was fixed on Qin Lu.
Was this the wealthy person Nan Yan had hooked up with?
Just throwing out 20 million from the get-go, truly displaying wealth and extravagance.
However, the daughter of the An family was worth more than just 20 million.
As An Yaoqing looked at her own biological daughter, who had grown even more beautiful and elegant, his expression subtly changed.
He frowned and said, “Nan Yan, your mother also cares about you. She’s afraid that once you leave the An family, you’ll fall into decadence. There’s no other meaning behind it.”
“You are our daughter, our blood relative connected by bones and tendons. Such an existence cannot be bought with money. Don’t speak such foolish words in the future.’
“Don’t give me this hypocritical talk.” Nan Yan sneered, “Whether you break the connection or not, could you please not appear in front of me?”
Seems like 20 million is too little.
Their appetite is truly huge.
Then they won’t get a single cent.
Anyway, she still had to avenge the original host. How about just snatching the An family and donate it to charity?
Her fourth brother didn’t seem to be interested in taking over the company either.
“Yanyan, how can you speak to your parents like this? They only care about you. By acting this way, you’re hurting their hearts!” An Muyao put on a disapproving face, deliberately accusing Nan Yan.
On the other side, she wanted to attract Qin Lu’s attention.
She had never seen such a handsome man in her life!
And he exuded such charisma, a natural aura of majesty and nobility, like an emperor.
His status must be extraordinary.
An Muyao held herself in high regard, always wanting to marry into a top-tier wealthy family.
The young masters of ordinary families didn’t even catch her eye.
Now that she had finally encountered one, she had to seize the opportunity!
An Mulin fully agreed with An Muyao’s words and felt that she was right.
However, he remembered what Nan Yan had said to him earlier and couldn’t be bothered with her.
Nan Yan propped her head up, her cool eyebrows slightly raised, and spoke with a mischievous and cold smile, “An Muyao, do you want me to tell everyone how I made those mistakes in the past? How they were committed?” The original host was too foolish and treated An Muyao’s words as a decree.
She would do whatever An Muyao asked her to do.
Even though she was set up and manipulated by her time and time again, causing her embarrassment, she still chose to believe her.
The original host was just that naive because An Muyao was the person who had treated her the best after she returned to the An family.
“Yanyan, what do you mean?” An Muyao’s tone faltered. “Are you suggesting that you made those mistakes under someone else’s orders?” She cursed Nan Yan in her heart.
Back then, she was like a fool, letting herself be manipulated.
Why did she suddenly become so clever?
A trace of coldness flashed in Nan Yan’s eyes. She glanced at Qin Lu, who had a cold expression. She temporarily suppressed the words she was about to say.
“I will settle those accounts with you slowly. For now, please have some manners and don’t disturb our meal.”
“Nan Yan, are you not coming back with us?” Lu Lehua looked at Nan Yan with a hateful and disappointed gaze, her body trembling with anger.
Nan Yan still leaned lazily, a smile playing at the corners of her lips, but the amusement didn’t reach her eyes. “Want me to go back? The An family is unworthy.”
This sentence instantly changed the expressions of the four members of the An family.
Even An Yaoqing couldn’t maintain his composure, and he angrily said, “Nan
Yan, you are really something!”
“To have such an arrogant attitude and belittle your own family after finding support. I, An Yaoqing, don’t have a daughter like you!”
“Let’s go.”
An Yaoqing led the others and left in a huff.
Nan Yan restrained her expression, stood up, and apologized, “I didn’t expect them to come and disturb Grandma’s meal.”
Old Madam Qin hugged her lovingly. “Silly child, are they always bullying you like this?”
“Don’t bother with them anymore. From now on, you are a member of my Qin family. Let’s see how they dare to bully you!”
Nan Yan gently patted her on the back, speaking in a warm voice. “Grandma, stay calm. With just them, they can’t bully me.”
“For everything they’ve done in the past, I will reclaim it all. And in the future, they won’t dare to bully me even a bit.”
Qin Lu suppressed his anger and gently pressed his hand on her shoulder. “Do whatever you want. Brother’s promise is always valid.”
He would be her support.
Enough to make her dominate in the country.
He didn’t intervene earlier because Nan Yan could handle it herself.
But if anyone dared to harm her, he wouldn’t stand idly by.
After all, she was the child he promised to take care of, and no one could bully her.
Nan Yan curved her lips and teased, “Thank you, Brother.”
Putting the An family behind them, Nan Yan and the others ordered their food and happily began to eat.
On the other hand, An Yaoqing and his family of four had lost their appetite.
Sitting in the private room they had reserved, their expressions were far from pleasant.
Lu Lehua started complaining again, blaming Nan Yan and sympathizing with herself, talking about how difficult her life was.
When it got emotional, she even started whimpering in self-pity.
An Yaoqing smoked in annoyance.
He really hadn’t paid much attention to Nan Yan as his daughter.
He brought Nan Yan back solely because it was his father’s order, and he didn’t have any affection for this daughter.
Because he had always treated An Muyao as his own daughter, and in comparison, Nan Yan’s performance was too disappointing. She couldn’t match An Muyao in any aspect, so he didn’t like her at all.
It was only due to his father’s wishes, he gave her a proper name and kept her in the An family.
Before, he only treated her as an extra person at the dinner table, without paying much attention to her.
But now…
He had to admit that this daughter still had some use….
