The conversation came to an end. Nangong Nuannuan had no intention of saying anything else.

Old Master Ning apologized to everyone and left for a short while. He quickly went out to call the Ning family’s bodyguards. First, he settled Yuan Anmin. He would not allow him to exert revenge on people in times of desperation. Next, he had especially paid bodyguards protect Nuannuan’s little young master. He absolutely could not be injured by anyone. If that young master was injured, Nangong Nuannuan would probably go after the Ning family no matter who injured him.

The Ning family could not afford to offend the Nangong family, nor could they afford to offend the Imperial Phoenix Group. If they did, they would become enemies with two giants at the same time. If they could not afford to offend them, he could hide. It was better to spend a small amount of money to hire bodyguards to protect that kid than end up having their listed company, or even the entire Ning family, bankrupt over such a small matter.

At this moment, the people in the front hall had already moved on with their conversations, but Grandma Pei was still sizing up Nangong Nuannuan up out of the corner of her gaze.

This Nangong Nuannuan was too arrogant!

When she and Zhou Ruxue stopped Nangong Nuannuan and spoke to her, she also felt that this girl was too arrogant. She was extremely dissatisfied with Nuannuan’s attitude and felt that she deserved to be taught a lesson.

However, it was clear that although her big brother was very straightforward and had not disciplined her in the past. He was extremely protective of his granddaughter-in-law, Nangong Nuannuan.

After witnessing the entire scene of Old Master Ning getting humiliated, Madam Pei completely gave up on the idea of finding an opportunity to teach Nangong Nuannuan a lesson.

She had to admit that Nangong Nuannuan had the right to be arrogant. Ning Zhennan had no other choice other than to admit defeat.

However, there was still one question.

Why would a woman like Nangong Nuannuan become Chi Yang’s fiance?

What right did Chi Yang have to be with such an outstanding woman?

Besides his muscular body, what else did he have? He was just a pauper who lived by his grandfather’s breath.

Her two outstanding grandsons, Pei Jiadong and Pei Jialiang, were both excellent seedlings. Whether it was their business talent or EQ, they were no inferior to their father, Pei Jitong.

Thinking about how her son, Pei Jitong, had charmed Chi Yang’s mother so much that she wished she could devote her entire life to him, Grandma Pei’s eyes could not help but light up.

Back then, she was the one who asked her son, Pei Jitong, to seduce Zhou Ruxue. That was because Chi Zehao often stayed at the military base and did not return for long periods. Even when he did return, he did not know how to treat women. Zhou Ruxue was the type of woman who needed love. She would often cry because of Chi Zehao’s indifference. Marrying Chi Zehao was no different from being a widow.

At the time, her eldest brother, Chi Yuansheng, had already warned her for the third time. He had told her not to use the Chi family’s name as an excuse to underhandedly seek benefits for the Pei family. If she were to do it a fourth time, he would no longer cherish their long-standing relationship and would immediately cut ties.

However, she wanted to live and the Pei family wanted to grow. How could she not allow such a thing to happen?

Therefore, she could only aim to find another way to get her son to seduce Zhou Ruxue. As long as the daughter-in-law of the Chi family got together with her son, even if the Chi family broke off their relationship with the Pei family, Zhou Ruxue would definitely help the Pei family.

Who could have guessed that Chi Zehao would suddenly die without leaving any remains? On the night of Chi Zehao’s funeral, the nine-year-old Chi Yang witnessed Zhou Ruxue and Pei Jitong’s sexual encounter.
