"Ao Tian, didn't you always want to know the identity of the person who leaked this information to Su Wanbai?" Old Master Murong patted his son's arm and said solemnly.

"Who?" Murong Aotian who was half asleep suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

Maybe because he had woken up a little too quickly, Murong Aotian closed his eyes again and held his temples with all his might. He hadn't eaten in days, and now there was nothing in his stomach but alcohol. No matter how strong a body was, without food, it would become an empty shell.

It was obviously impossible to revive Su Wanbai's father. It was even more impossible to change the plan to kill Andy using the reverse of time. All of his regrets and depression turned into a thick rage. The relationship that he had painstakingly established with Su Wanbai could have become an eternal secret if it had been destroyed just because of this informant. Once it was accidentally revealed, there would be no room for negotiation. Why didn't the informant just ask him for money? Isn't money the most practical thing? If he told Su Wanbai directly, not only would he not receive any benefits, he would also offend Murong Aotian.

"It's me!" Old Master Murong laughed.

Murong Aotian opened his scarlet eyes and glared at his father's face. Astonishment, suffering, and despair were rapidly changing in the depths of his eyes. His fist cracked and flew high, landing hard on the bed. The bed bounced a few times and was quiet again.

"Why?" Murong Aotian said.

"A few old shareholders suddenly withdrew their shares, Murong Group has recently added a few more big projects, causing people's hearts to float, you know all this. Nangong has already agreed to help us. The only condition is that you and Xiao Die should get married as soon as possible. "Nangong would never allow you and Xiao Die to have other women. Before he knows it, I …" Old Master Nangong's voice became hoarse.

He had also walked over when he was young. It wasn't that he didn't know how precious love was. But facing the crisis of the Murong Group, other than looking at the bigger picture, he had no other choice. The hundred years of history of the Murong Group could not be destroyed by the father and son duo.

When he received the call from the Housekeeper Li, he finally knew that his son Murong Aotian had actually revealed his trump card to Hu Xiaodie, telling her all of his promises regarding Jin Family back then. Hu Xiaodie was so sad that she packed her things and returned to her home. The Old Master Nangong would quickly find out the reason. If he went back on his word, and withdrew the promised funds, her Murong Group would be in dire straits.

"After breaking up with Su Wanbai, I still can't marry Hu Xiaodie. What's the meaning of you doing this?" Murong Aotian laughed bitterly.

"At that time, I didn't know about your promise to Jin Family, so I'm very regretful right now!" Old Master Murong actually slapped himself.

Just as he was about to continue fanning himself, Murong Aotian grabbed his wrist. The look in his eyes changed from violent to sorrowful. His father was already so old, and the wrinkles on his face had increased. Even the corners of his eyes had lost their former sharpness as they drooped listlessly. The blush on his cheeks was a sign of how much strength he had exerted just now. For her father to apologize in such a serious manner was truly heartbreaking.

"You can go back. You don't have to worry about the matter of the corporation. I'll settle it!" Murong Aotian got off the bed and staggered into the bathroom to wash up.

"Quick, tell someone to prepare the food!" Murong Aotian wiped off the tears in his eyes and said softly to Housekeeper Li.

An hour later, Murong Aotian personally drove to Nangong Family.

Old Master Nangong was tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard. He had already seen Murong Aotian's car drive over from afar, but he had not noticed it. The sullen look on his face had not faded yet, but the dignified Nangong Family was actually being played around by Murong Aotian. Since he couldn't marry his daughter, Xiao Die, why did he have to agree to the engagement? This time, he was going to let Murong Aotian have a taste of his own bitterness, to frustrate his spirit.

Murong Aotian greeted the Old Master Nangong, which he responded with a light snort from his nose.

In the living room, Murong Aotian and Old Master Nangong sat down.

"You're here to apologize?" Old Master Nangong glanced at Murong Aotian, his tone cold.

"No." Murong Aotian sneered.

"What?" Old Master Nangong was so angry that his nose was crooked.

Murong Aotian was truly arrogant and unbridled. He had clearly done wrong, yet he still dared to brazenly say that he was not wrong. He really didn't know how Murong Ye taught Murong Aotian since he was a little kid. When the time comes, they would have to talk about Murong Ye.

"Not marrying her is just a nice way of putting it. The truth is this! " Murong Aotian threw the stack of photos in his hands onto the tea table.

The cameras had recorded the affair between Hu Xiaodie and Mu Rong Ao Tian. He had just taken some random screenshots and brought them over. The infidelity of a fiancee was more unforgivable than deceit, let alone a traditional family like Nangong. Last time, old master Nangong was infuriated by his daughter's actions of killing her. She still had not forgiven her. "It could be seen that old master Nangong valued her character a lot. This time, these photos would become the final straw that would crush his pride.

"Go, call Die over here!" Old Master Nangong was so angry that his face turned white, he pretended to be calm and told the butler beside him.

The butler hurried upstairs and Hu Xiaodie was quickly brought to the Old Master Nangong.

"These... Is that true? " Old Master Nangong threw the photo on the ground and glared at his daughter.

Hu Xiaodie casually picked up a photo, and her face immediately turned ashen. The memories that were not too long ago surfaced in her mind once again. The love of the clouds and rain, Murong Aotian's cold eyes, and that man's bloodied appearance …

"Looks like it's true?" Old Master Nangong's eyes flickered with flames of anger.

He rushed over and slapped her daughter hard twice. Hu Xiaodie groaned in pain as she fell to the ground, powerless to do so. At the corner of her mouth, traces of dark red blood quietly rolled down.

Old Master Nangong grabbed his phone with trembling fingers and dialed a number: "Continue working with Murong Group!"

Murong Aotian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his expression still as cold as ice. Actually, he didn't care about how unfaithful this woman was to him. He only wanted to keep her by his side for the sake of the group. Sneaking love was just a trump card he could use. Poor woman, ever since she secretly had sex with that man, she didn't even have the qualifications to continue staying by his side. Only, he didn't want to end up with a grudge with Nangong Family, so he forcefully kept her. He didn't expect that she would actually complain to his father, and her Murong Group nearly fell into an unprecedented crisis.

"Teach your daughter well! I will hold a press conference tomorrow to cancel the engagement! " Murong Aotian crossed his slender legs, looking calm and composed.

"I want... Time pushed back, and it was best not to tell the truth. Why don't we just say that we don't have the same personality? Agree to a good cooperation, we will never withdraw midway. The contract will be signed tomorrow. If you have any conditions on your Murong Group, you can raise them at any time. Old Master Nangong slumped onto the sofa, his voice hoarse and tired.

Even at this time, he still had to consider the entire reputation of Nangong Family. He had originally wanted to teach Murong Aotian a good lesson, but he didn't expect to rebel against him.

If Murong Aotian were to expose the truth, not only would his daughter be reduced to a scandal, her Nangong Family would also become the laughingstock of the entire S City. Murong Aotian did not threaten him at all, and he had already realized what he should do the most. If he lost out on the benefits, he would still have the opportunity to make up for it in the future. If he lost his reputation, he wouldn't be able to do anything in the future.

Murong Aotian did not say goodbye. He stood up and turned to leave.

Old Master Nangong sighed, then waved his hand at Hu Xiaodie: "Leave this house, and reflect on it!"

Hu Xiaodie expressionlessly turned around and went upstairs to pack her stuff. The stepmother peeked at the door and left silently. Although she never liked Hu Xiaodie, but she was a good girl. His daughter had already been chased out of Nangong Family, and just as she returned and was about to leave, the house became even more deserted.

Before she left, Hu Xiaodie went to her stepmother Ma Yue's room to bid her farewell.

"Auntie, I went to see my sister and left her some money. She's living a good life, don't worry!" Hu Xiaodie whispered into Ma Yue's ear.

Ma Yue opened her mouth wide in shock, she could not believe her own ears. However, Hu Xiaodie's expression did not seem like she was lying. His daughter had indeed sent her a text message a few days ago saying that she had a little sister's help, so everything was fine. At the time, she didn't believe it. She really didn't expect that she and her daughter would treat Hu Xiaodie like this, yet she treated Nangong Bingjie like this.

Ma Yue's eyes instantly became wet, and for the first time, she embraced Hu Xiaodie's shoulders and hugged her tightly.

"Good boy! I know, you're suffering too. However, you are still young and everything will be fine. I'll talk to your father when I get the chance, and ask you to come home early! " Ma Yue wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes as she sobbed.

"What are you waiting for?" Old Master Nangong stood in the living room and shouted to the people upstairs.

Hu Xiaodie carried her small suitcase and left the Nangong Mansion.

Looking back through the window, he could see Master Minamiya standing by the window, his face grave. He was kind to his daughter and didn't take her bank card. Having lost her mother, she was already very pitiful. She had no other choice but to live at Mu Rong Ao Tian's place. Even though she had committed such a heinous crime, she still had to give her a chance. She had lived a miserable life since she was young. If she were to be punished even more severely now, as a father, she really wouldn't be able to bear it. Nangong Bing Jie was different from her. She had been pampered since childhood and had become lawless. It was only after suffering a little bit that she could remember.

In his lifetime, there were only these two daughters, and none of them allowed him to relax.

Watching Xiao Die's back as it gradually disappeared into the distance, Old Master Nangong's vision also became blurry.

In the blink of an eye, he was already in tears. For the past few decades, he had experienced bloody battles, but he never thought that his daughter, who he had placed his hopes on, would disappoint him so much. He couldn't help but feel heartache!
