Chapter 1875: Meeting The Elders
Shi Maude felt his heart ache when he saw that Chi Yang’s fiancee was as delicate as a little white rabbit. ‘Don’t bully my rabbit,’ he could hear Chi Yang thinking.
Yalin had told them that Chi Yang once went with Nangong Nuannuan to kill her master but ended up only seriously injuring him.
From this, it was clear that Chi Yang knew Nangong Nuannuan’s true identity.
However, not only had this muddleheaded fool not immediately drawn a line between himself and Nangong Nuannuan, but he even went on to treat her so delicately.
Was there something wrong with this man’s brain?
Even as he thought about this, Shi Maude maintained a cordial attitude when faced with Chi Yang’s question.
“Our old man knew that Chairman Nangong was in attendance and wanted to thank her for sparing the Shi family. Coincidentally, I bumped into Chairman Nangong, so I invited her to the front hall to meet with the old men.”
While Shi Maude was speaking, Chi Yang had already walked up to Nangong Nuan and reached out to hold her hand. His initially serious expression instantly softened when he looked at his wife.
“Is that so?”
Seeing Chi Yang’s expression of disbelief, the Shi father and son were speechless.
This was Queen!
Even if they wanted to make things difficult for her or kill her, they might not be able to.
Thinking back to how Nangong Nuannuan had bullied their Yalin so arrogantly, compared to how Chi Yang was now protecting her like she was a fragile porcelain doll, the Shi father and son felt extremely uncomfortable.
“Yes.” Nangong Nuannuan nodded and said, “Let’s go over there and sit with Grandpa.”
“Okay.” Chi Yang was relieved upon receiving an affirmative response from his wife. He held Nangong Nuannuan’s hand and followed her lead.
The father and son of the Shi family, “...”
In the front hall, Old Master Shi, Old Master Chi, Old Master Ning, and a group of old masters who had retired from the position of chief executives of the executive hall were sitting together and chatting and laughing. Grandma Pei, Lan Huifang, was sitting beside Old Master Chi. Despite being an old lady, she could not help but show off in the presence of her big brother, trying to curry his favor.
Before Nangong Nuannuan even walked into the front hall, she had already sized up the situation.
Grandpa Chi was sitting next to Old Master Shi and not saying much. Nuannuan could sense that Grandpa was probably uncomfortable due to Lan Huifang’s presence.
However, Lan Huifang did not feel uncomfortable at all. She kept pouring Grandpa Chi tea and peeling oranges for him. She even piled pastries onto his plate, pastries that Grandpa Chi liked eating.
However, no matter how hard she tried, Grandpa Chi remained unbothered.
Amid these elders, the fourth son of the Shi family and the 13th chief executive of the executive hall, Shi Maowen, was preparing tea for all the elders and old ladies around. He was gentle, refined, and well-respected by the group of elders.
Chi Yang held Nangong Nuannuan’s hand and walked toward the front hall. When Lan Huifang saw him, she immediately took the initiative to stand up and warmly welcome them.
“Ah, Chi Yang, Nuannuan, you’re here. Quickly come and sit by my side. Come, come, come!”
Lan Huifang stood up courteously and gestured for the servant to bring two more chairs to be placed between her and Old Master Chi.
A retired chief executive of the executive hall who wanted to get close to Old Marshal Chi was already unhappy that Lan Huifang, who ranked far lower than himself, was sitting in his seat of honor. Now, Lan Huifang dared to ask for two more chairs to be added in between them... pushing him even further away from Old Marshal Chi?!
