Chapter 885 - Lying
Chapter 885: Lying
Nangong Xu and Nangong Ling’s had very outstanding facial features. Although Zhong Qianqian was face-blind, these two children were really too good-looking that her memory of them was imprinted in her brain. Therefore, Zhong Qianqian felt like she was struck by lightning when she saw the children again.
“Why… why is it you guys?”
Gu Mingzhe, who had gotten himself completely ignored perked up in alarm. He had a bad feeling about this.
“Why? Qianqian, do you know them? Let me introduce them to you. This is my son, Nangong Xu. This is my daughter, Nangong Ling. They are a pair of fraternal twins.”
Zhong Qianqian, “…!!!”
“Why aren’t the two of you greeting her? Hurry up and call her Auntie! This is your real aunt! She’s as close as Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Uncle!”
Nangong Jin did not know anything about what happened between the children and Zhong Qianqian. He asked the children to greet Qianqian again.
Lil Ling’er pouted and slid down from her chair with a plop. She trotted to Old Master Nangong’s side with her short and stubby legs. She did not say anything, but her gaze was filled with resentment. She glanced at Zhong Qianqian and buried her face in Old Master Nangong’s embrace.
Everyone was shocked.
Lil Ling’er was a real princess in the Nangong family. Everyone treasured her like a jewel—they held her in their arms and worried if they would crush her—or the sweetest candy that they could not help but want to put in their mouth, yet worried that she would melt. Meanwhile, the little princess was also a girl who could make everyone love her with her sweet tongue.
She knew everyone, including the cleaner ladies and men who worked in the neighborhood. She would never look down on them because of their lowly status. Therefore, even the cleaner uncles and aunties liked the little princess of the Nangong family.
This was the first time they had seen the little princess unwilling to greet anyone.
More importantly, this person was coincidentally their long-lost granddaughter, her aunt.
“What… what’s going on?”
Sixth Brother, Nangong Ze, was a rather insensitive person. When he saw that his nephew and niece refused to address Zhong Qianqian as their auntie and nobody said anything, he asked, “Lil Ling’er, what’s wrong with you? Haven’t you always had a sweet tongue? Why won’t you greet your own aunt?”
Lil Ling’er lifted her head and glanced at Zhong Qianqian. before burying her head in Old Master Nangong’s embrace with a sad expression.
“Sixth Uncle, we’ve actually met this person before,” Nangong Xu suddenly said.
However, this time, he did not address Zhong Qianqian as ‘pretty lady’ or ‘auntie’. Instead, he addressed her as ‘this person’.
“Why did you call her like that? This is your Auntie!” Nangong Ze naively tried to correct him.
However, Nangong Xu inherited his father’s maturity and steadiness.
“We lost our way at the airport that day. Lil Ling’er didn’t have any toilet paper when she went to the washroom. I asked this person to pass her some toilet paper, but she didn’t want to.”
After saying that, Nangong Xu looked at Old Master Nangong. “It was late at that time, and the washroom was rather secluded. She was the only person there and she was putting on makeup, but she was unwilling to help. Later on, another pretty lady came in and helped us instead.”
Everyone, “…!!!”
Nobody could understand why Zhong Qianqian was unwilling to help even though it was such a small matter. They were so embarrassed that everyone lapsed into an awkward silence.
Zhong Qianqian wanted to rush over and slap this stupid child.
How annoying!
Did he really think that just because they looked good, other people must give them help!?
Helping you is a favor, not an obligation!
All she did was refuse to help, did she not? Why must the boy made it look like murdered someone?
When Zhong Qianqian noticed that everyone in the Nangong family was looking at her without saying anything, she hurriedly explained, “It’s not like that. He’s lying.”
