Chapter 679: Nuannuan’s Identity
“We met at that orphanage. The six of us were orphans from that orphanage.”
Leng Jinpeng nodded. “I see. Then after Nuannuan...”
Selina smiled and said, “Uncle Leng, you should ask Nuannuan what happened after that. I’m sure Nuannuan will tell you her real identity.”
Since Selina dared to say that, it meant that there was nothing wrong with Nuannuan’s identity. Leng Jinpeng sighed in relief and nodded. “Alright. I’ll talk to her in private.”
“Yes. I also know that if Nuannuan wants to marry Chi Yang, her identity has to be clear. Since Nuannuan didn’t know that Chi Yang made the marriage report, this can’t be considered as Nuannuan deliberately deceiving the organization.”
“Yes. This indeed has nothing to do with Nuannuan. However, now that I know that it’s not Nuannuan’s real identity, I have to clarify her real identity before she marries Chi Yang.”
“Of course. Uncle Leng, feel free to investigate. There will be a surprise for you.”
Leng Jinpeng, “... Hehe, as long as it doesn’t give me a scare.”
Leng Qirui jutted in. “Surprise? What surprise? Tell me!”
“Go ask Nuannuan!”
Glaring at Selina, he pursed his lips and said, “What kind of friend are you?”
***
Zhong Nuannuan and the old master left with a cart of raw stones. Ling Li and Ling Pinyuan were furious, but she dared not do anything to Zhong Nuannuan in public.
This was especially so for Ling Pinyuan. Whether it was her looks, figure, wealth, or physical strength, she realized that she could not compare to Zhong Nuannuan except for her family background.
It felt like her pride had gotten stomped on, and she could not take this no matter what.
However, Ling Pinyuan was a smart woman. She looked down on weaker opponents and did not bother to deal with them. However, when her opponents were much stronger than her, she did not dare to provoke them.
She was different from Zhong Qianqian and Ou Mingxi, who were self-absorbed and crazy, like a moth that kept flying toward the light.
After the incident with Zhong Nuannuan, Soaring Clouds Pavilion was temporarily closed.
When Luo Mengying saw that Ling Pinyuan had a mistake and there was a stern expression on Ling Li’s face, she left first.
After Luo Mengying left, Ling Pinyuan immediately knelt before Ling Li and admitted her mistake.
Ling Li had thought it through before. After all, Zhong Nuannuan saved his life. Even a piece of imperial jade could not buy it back.
However, as he watched Zhong Nuannuan pushed the cart of raw stones out, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
What if there were more imperial jade in there?
Even if there were no imperial jade in there anymore, what if there was another ice-type jade?
“Do you know how much Soaring Clouds Pavilion and the Ling family lost because of your temper?”
Ling Pinyuan knelt on the ground and lowered her head without saying anything.
Ling Li continued, “She managed to pick an imperial jade from the pile of raw stones at one glance. Can you guarantee that there is no jade in the other raw stones that she chose?”
Ling Pinyuan, “...” This was also what made her angriest too.
“Grandpa, this is my fault. I know I’m wrong. I’ve seen her pile of raw stones before. Don’t worry. Although I can’t guarantee that there won’t be any more, even if there are, there will only be one or two, and it shouldn’t be any valuable jade.”
With Ling Pinyuan’s guarantee, the anger in Li Liang’s heart dissipated a lot.
