Xiao Qi returned to S Province right after attending Li Zhao’s and An Hao’s wedding.
He was too lazy to deal with the blind dates arranged by his family at home. Facing those beauties, he would always unconsciously think of Chu Beiying.
So the day after he sobered up, he attended a blind date arranged by his home and immediately bought a ticket to leave.
After arriving here, he called home and almost made everyone furious.
However, who is Xiao Qi? He wouldn’t care, so they would eventually get over their anger.
Li Zhao and An Hao had to go through the three-day-returning-door custom at home before they could come back to S Province, so they didn’t return together.
Gu Beihan arranged his affairs in the Imperial Capital and prepared to find an opportunity to approach Chu Beiying.
At this time, Chu Beiying was dealing with many elders from the Nangong family.
“Head of the family, is this girl the niece you’ve been trying so hard to hide?” The Nangong family had many branches. Because the main family had no children, they adopted two and thus attracted the other branches to come.
“Yingying, come and meet your uncles. When you take over the Nangong family in the future, you’ll still have to rely on your uncles.” Nangong Kunpeng took the opportunity to clarify that the Nangong family would be handed over to his daughter in the future.
“Yingying has met all the uncles. If Yingying doesn’t understand anything in the future, please advise me, uncles.” Chu Beiying coldly looked at various old men with active minds and thought the adopted brother and sister were not simple either.
But would Chu Beiying be afraid? No, she has always been the one to be feared. When has she ever been weak?
“Fine, but head of the family, this young lady doesn’t even know whether she’s from our Nangong family or not.
Can you really hand over the Nangong family to her? What are Jiahui and Jiabao supposed to do?” The second Nangong grandpa, who was also Nangong Jiahui’s and Nangong Jiabao’s biological grandfather, questioned Chu Beiying’s identity.
Second Nangong Grandpa was the illegitimate child of the old Nangong family head from outside and had been taken back but never favored by the legal wife.
So now that the main family had no heir, they brought his grandchildren in. He was happy to take over the entire Nangong family, but then Nangong Beiying appeared, claiming to be the legitimate daughter. How could he accept it?
“Then how do you want to prove it?” Nangong Kunpeng looked at this second uncle steadily.
“I don’t know how to prove it, but you all can just casually bring someone back and say she’s a Nangong family daughter. Can I bring someone back and say he’s the lost young master of the Nangong family?” The second Nangong grandpa signaled his sons.
“That’s right, head of the family. You have to prove she’s the real Nangong family daughter, you can’t just randomly say anyone is our Nangong family daughter.” Others from the Nangong family, following the second grandpa’s instruction, questioned in unison, all opposing the idea.
Nangong Kunpeng just sat in the main seat and watched them coldly without speaking.
Chu Beiying stood coldly on the side, neither speaking nor making any other moves.
Wind, Cloud, Thunder, and Rain stood behind Chu Beiying, protecting her, paying close attention to the surrounding changes, and preventing any possibility of their young lady getting hurt.
“Are you all done talking?” Nangong Kunpeng asked only after everyone finished their arguments.
“Uh.” Everyone looked at each other then unanimously quieted down.
“There is no doubt that Yingying is my daughter. As for the proof you’re talking about, does the Nangong family’s mark count?” Nangong Kunpeng asked indifferently.
Everyone was startled upon hearing it. Only the legitimate family members of the Nangong family had such a unique mark, regardless of gender. This was also the reason why the second grandpa was not favored by the legal wife back then.
Because without that mark, one couldn’t become a legitimate heir to the Nangong family.
