That afternoon, Ye Wanwan lied and said she was taking Tangtang to school when in reality, she had Nameless Nie escort Tangtang to Asura’s headquarters.
She could use Tangtang as a breakthrough to Patriarch and Madam Nie. If Tangtang got along with Si Yehan, she believed her parents couldn’t bear to separate Tangtang from his father.
Of course, Patriarch and Madam Nie couldn’t make decisions about her life for her, but older people had to be sweet-talked. It shouldn’t be too difficult for her family to be whole and harmonious.
After Tangtang agreed, Ye Wanwan and Tangtang operated separately. One went to Si Yehan’s place while the other stayed at home to appease her parents.
…
At Asura’s headquarters:
Jiang Yan was squatting in a corner with his weapon tossed to the side. He had maintained this position for a whole day already.
Ever since he saw that DNA test result, his life and beliefs collapsed.
Lin Que looked at Jiang Yan’s closed-off state with an unsurprised expression. He walked over and sympathetically clapped the other man on the shoulder. “Ey, Little Red Red, what did I say? I reminded you to not offend that girl before! Great; you’ve completely offended the future Mrs. Asura. If that girl casually whispered something to our Lord during pillow-talk, what would happen to you?”
Jiang Yan leaped up instantly. “Stop your nonsense! Our Lord absolutely isn’t that kind of muddle-headed person!”
Lin Que raised his brows. “Oh? Are you certain? Look into my eyes and say it again.”
Jiang Yan: “…”
This insinuating retort instantly turned Jiang Yan into a punctured balloon.
I’m… not certain…
At that moment, a guard came to report that Nameless Nie had arrived again.
As soon as Jiang Yan heard that, he was charged again and immediately rushed out.
“Why are you here again?! I’ve already locked the warehouse with several dozen specially-made locks, so don’t bother thinking about opening it!”
Jiang Yan was trembling with anger as he looked at Nameless Nie. He swore to the heavens that he never wanted to see this most money-hungry oddball in the Nie family’s history ever again.
“Are you blind?” Nameless Nie gestured to Tangtang standing next to him with his eyes. “Can’t you see I’m here to drop Tangtang off to see my brother-in-law?”
“Young Master?”
Jiang Yan finally saw Tangtang. He was seized by anger as soon as he saw Nameless Nie, so he didn’t notice anything else.
“It really is Young Master…”
Jiang Yan was astonished by this. He never expected this fool to really bring Young Master here!
Jiang Yan didn’t think Nameless Nie really meant it when he said it.
Only then did Jiang Yan’s expression improve. At least Nameless Nie kept his word.
“Remember to tell my brother-in-law that I spoiled this child too rotten at home, so as the dad, he can’t indulge him and must beat him when necessary!” Nameless Nie added.
Tangtang’s icy gaze landed on Nameless Nie.
Jiang Yan’s lips slightly twitched. Is he a real uncle…?
Nameless Nie probably didn’t send Tangtang there to allow the father and son to meet; it was… to let his Lord discipline the Young Master, right?!
“You’re such a chicken. You even locked the warehouse with specially-made locks? Tell my brother-in-law that the goods last time were merely my compensation for all these years; they don’t count as a betrothal gift!”
Nameless Nie continued with a purse of his lips.
Before Jiang Yan could respond, under Tangtang’s threatening gaze, Nameless Nie chuckled awkwardly and disappeared without a trace.
Only Tangtang and Jiang Yan were left in front of Asura’s headquarters as well as some of Asura’s guards.
