Chapter 56 - 56 Fighting Shen Yanqing

56 Fighting Shen Yanqing

Now that Shen Yanqing was mentioned, Mrs. Nan could not help but look at Nan Ge and ask nosily, “Youyou, how far have you and Shen gotten?”

“Are you together?”

Mrs. Nan sounded inexplicably certain.

This topic changed too quickly. Nan Ge was originally gloating and quietly watching the show.

!!

Unexpectedly, the next second, the spearhead was pointed at her.

Suddenly, the steamed dumplings in her mouth were no longer fragrant.

Meeting her mother’s expectant gaze, Nan Ge swallowed the steamed dumpling in her mouth with difficulty. “We, the two of us…”

“Are you together?!” Seeing her stammering, Mrs. Nan was even more certain!

“No, no!”

Nan Ge was so frightened that she waved her hand repeatedly. “We’re not together. Don’t listen to my brother’s nonsense.”

Mrs. Nan sighed and felt a little strange. “Was everything your brother said at Grandpa’s house two days ago fake?”

Nan Ge scratched her head awkwardly. “Not really.”

Nan Zhe defended his sister like a mad dog at the old residence the other day. Not only were the others dumbfounded, but Mrs. Nan and Mr. Nan were equally stunned.

However, later on, they were too embarrassed to ask Nan Ge directly. They wanted to ask Nan Zhe in detail later, but they were too busy these two days and forgot about it.

When Nan Zhe mentioned Shen Yanqing again just now, only then did Mrs. Nan remember this.

Mrs. Nan knew her son very well. She felt that Nan Zhe’s words were indeed exaggerated, but they were probably not far from the truth. It was probably not 100% pure bragging.

Shen Yanqing was most likely really chasing her cub.

At the thought of this, Mrs. Nan could not help but smile.

“Well… It’s true that I don’t want you to date so early.”

“After all, there are indeed more scheming men outside.”

Nan Zhe rolled his eyes. “Mom, can you control your expression when you say this?”

“The corners of your mouth almost reached your temples.”

“…” Mrs. Nan kicked him. “I’m not done yet!”

“Ahem.”

Meeting Nan Ge’s gaze, Mrs. Nan returned to her elegant and dignified appearance and continued, “But Little Shen is not bad.”

“Although I’ve never seen him before, I still think he’s a good child.”

Mr. Nan raised his hand. “I agree.”

Nan Ge and Nan Zhe went speechless.

Nan Zhe really could not figure out who had given his parents the courage to say this.

They did not even meet him and they already thought that Shen Yanqing was a good person.

“Can’t you have a bottom line?”

“You can’t think that he’s a good person just because he’s successful and has no scandals at a young age and occasionally does charity work, right?”

The three of them went quiet. “…” Otherwise?

Nan Zhe paused and stared at the three of them. He gritted his teeth and admitted, “Okay, he does look like a good person on the surface.”

“However, even though he has a lot of good points, he might not be trustworthy in terms of relationships.”

Nan Ge said, “Brother, you finally admit that Shen Yanqing is better than you.”

The corners of Nan Zhe’s mouth twitched. “Is this the main point I’m talking about?”

“In short, I don’t think Mom and Dad should interfere in this matter.”

Mrs. Nan saw through his thoughts. “Then if we don’t interfere, will you interfere?”

“Little Shen said that he likes Youyou, so why did you have to be so fierce to him? What were you talking about? Did you think I didn’t see the chats that followed?”

Nan Zhe said, “Mom, I can explain. I just wanted to keep an eye out for Nan Ge!”

“Are you really trying to protect her? I feel like you want your sister to die alone!”

“Ah…” Hearing her mother’s words, Nan Ge looked at her brother in realization. “Is that what you were up to?”

The baby penguin clenched her fists and glared at him angrily. “Damn it!”

Nan Zhe, “…”

He refused to give up and continued to defend himself. “It’s all thanks to me that Nan Ge could grow up safely.”

“If not for me, she would have been led astray by the boys outside!”

“When she first started kindergarten, some boys wanted to hold her hand. I stopped them!”

“In elementary school, her class representative liked her and wanted to help her do her homework. I was the one who discovered it in time!”

“When she reached junior high school, there were even more shameless brats. They’re all more presumptuous than the previous ones.”

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. He was so angry that he stood up and stepped on the stool. “It’s fine if they sent food, but on Valentine’s Day, they even dared to send roses to our door! In the end, didn’t I stop them?”

“I don’t even want to talk about her high school days. Hmph. If I hadn’t used force to intimidate people, would Nan Ge still be single?”

Mr. Nan and Mrs. Nan, “…”

“The world outside is full of temptation. A simple-minded creature like Nan Ge can’t resist them.”

...

The baby penguin beside him bit her chopsticks and was stunned.

Simple-minded? Was he talking about her?

“If I hadn’t interfered, Nan Ge might have been with Shen Yanqing long ago.”

When Nan Zhe said this, there was a hint of pride in his tone.

“That man is too good at shooting straight balls. Ordinary people really can’t resist a shameless person like him. If I were a woman…”

“Huh?” The entire family looked at him in unison.

“…” Nan Zhe blinked and coughed lightly. “I’m just making an analogy.”

Nan Ge gasped and leaned towards him. She asked, “Brother, do you like him?”

Nan Zhe felt puzzled.

——

After being interrupted by Nan Zhe, he successfully led Mrs. Nan astray and made her forget what she wanted to ask at the beginning.

...

Nan Ge took this opportunity to successfully escape upstairs.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the New Year, the restaurant in Huai City started operating again.

Nan Zhe had not told her this news.

It was Shen Yanqing.

Nan Ge went shopping with Nan Zhe. As soon as she got into the front passenger seat, she received his WeChat message.

A photo and a voice message.

Nan Ge looked at her brother, who was still packing the trunk outside, then quietly opened the voice message and put it to her ear to listen carefully.

Shen: [I don’t know what to eat today, but when I passed by, I realized that it was open. Are you coming back after the holidays?]

The man was probably sending messages as he walked. Nan Ge could still hear a trace of static in his voice.

[I’m not sure either.] Nan Ge had yet to think of a time to go back. [It still depends on my brother.]

At the mention of Nan Zhe, Nan Ge pondered for two seconds and continued typing: [Why did you give my brother New Year’s money that day?]

Thinking of the scene that day, Nan Ge could not help but take a deep breath.

At first, she did not know that Shen Yanqing had given her brother a New Year’s red packet.

Her brother did not say anything either.

However, after eating the dumplings, her brother drank some alcohol. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but he hugged his phone and insisted on asking Shen Yanqing out to fight.
