Truth to be told, Nan Hua was not entirely clear about the reason as to why Old Master Nan and Nan Luo hated Nan Shu Cheng so much. After all, he was Old Master Nan's son and Nan Luo's father.
However, there was a bit of backstory in the book that she read regarding Nan Family.
It was said that Nan Shu Cheng was the reason of Nan Family downfall aside from Nan Hua, who went crazy because of her love to Long Qian Xing. But the exact detail was omitted from the book because Nan Shu Cheng was only a small side character.
Nan Hua wanted to know more but for now, she had to act accordingly. Besides, she didn't have a good impression of Nan Shu Cheng.
"Nan Luo, it wouldn't be good for you to stay out for a long time. You still need to focus on your study," Nan Shu Cheng finally spoke.
Nan Luo looked at his father and shook his head. "This is my home and Grandfather taught me a lot."
Grandfather.
The difference in address made Nan Shu Cheng furrowed his brows further. It was clear that Nan Luo was trying to alienate himself from him yet the brat attached himself to Old Master Nan.
"It wouldn't be good if other people know that you don't even want to return."
"Their words won't affect me." Nan Luo never cared too much about what other people were talking about him. Of course, he would not cross the line and created too much trouble for himself. However, even if they said that he liked to stay in his grandfather house much more than his father's house, why should he deny them?
That's what all the ladies do...
It was what Nan Shu Cheng wanted to say but he didn't think that it would be proper. His father would surely berate him for caring too much about the gossips.
Old Master Nan snorted. "If you're afraid of their reputation, I'll just simply told everyone that I'm recuperating here. Is that enough, Nan Shu Cheng?'
"Yes, Father." Nan Shu Cheng grimaced. Now that even his father had spoken, he knew that he wouldn't be able to do anything else.
"In that case, we'll return." Nan Luo cupped his fist towards Nan Shu Cheng. "We're in the middle of studying and you wouldn't want to hinder our study, would you, Master Nan?"
Nan Shu Cheng looked at his son and had no other choice but to back down this time. "Of course not."
"Let's go, Hua'er."
"Yes, Brother."
Nan Hua didn't even spare another glance at Nan Shu Cheng. She knew some of those information from the novel while the rest was the result of her aunt teaching to let her not lose battles against other women. Be tactful yet at the same time aggressive.
As it turned out, it was also useful against Nan Shu Cheng.
