Chapter 211: I Just Regret It A Little

Nan Ge’s words were casual as if she had just said it casually.

However, Nan Zhe did not think so.

In the past few months, Shen Yanqing had told him that Nan Ge was now focused on her studies.

It didn’t seem like she was trying to distract herself. She was very hardworking.

As for the reason, Shen Yanqing might not know why, or perhaps he did but he did not reveal it.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he did not dare to think too deeply about it.

Now, he had finally made her intentions clear.

She said that studying was the best way out. She clearly wanted to make a future for herself without the help of her family.

Whether it was before or now, Nan Zhe did not approve of her doing this.

This thought had never changed.

“The outside world is not as simple as you think,” Nan Zhe said after two minutes of silence.

“You don’t want to hear this, but I still want to say it. I’ve worked hard for so long because I hope that your future path will be smoother.”

“I know you weren’t as happy as I thought in the first 20 years of your life. I can’t change it anymore, so I can only try my best to ensure your future is good.”

Nan Ge did not reply. She did not even look up at him.

Perhaps it was because Nan Zhe was driving too fast or for some other reason, but her gaze was fixed on the book. However, she could not see a single word clearly.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this.” Nan Zhe did not wait for her to speak and took the initiative to change the topic. “It’s for you.”

He handed over the bag beside him.

He did not care if Nan Ge accepted it or not and placed it in her hand.

He did not come to look for Nan Ge today to quarrel, so he could only choose to avoid those questions first.

It was not the right time to talk about those things.

However, Nan Ge did not want to let it go. Since she was already here, she had to clarify this problem.

She did not look at what he gave her and only placed it to the side.

It was not good to talk about this on the way. She decided to talk about it during dinner later.

When they arrived, Nan Ge realized that Nan Zhe had brought her to his restaurant.

Nan Zhe handed the car keys to the person beside him and brought her in.

“There have been a lot of new dishes recently. They’re not bad.”

“Uh huh.”

The manager came out to welcome them. When he saw Nan Ge, he quickly waved. The two of them had not seen each other for a while.

Nan Ge’s mood was average, but she still forced a smile in response.

On the way here, Nan Zhe ordered some food. After the two of them sat down, the manager helped to serve the dishes.

Nan Ge also gave face and ate a lot.

After eating, she wiped her mouth and sat up straight.

“Brother, I’ll still take the postgraduate studies at the capital with Little Uncle.

Thic l,vnn’t ohnnop ”

“Then what changed?” Nan Zhe was no longer in the mood to eat anything. He looked at her from afar.

“I never thought about what would happen after postgraduate studies. I never had this plan. I feel that everything is too far away.” She sat upright, as if the person opposite her was not her brother, but more like a strict teacher as she reported one after another.

“I’ve been thinking about it recently. I might stay with Little Uncle in the future and continue to work there.”

Nan Zhe guessed it. “Have you talked to Shen Yanqing?

“Not yet.” Nan Gets lips twitched. “He’ll support me.”

“I don’t want to ask for your opinion anymore. This is my current plan.

Whether you agree or not won’t change my mind.”

In the past, Nan Ge was not afraid of her parents’ obstruction but she was afraid of Nan Zhe.

Usually, no matter how dissatisfied Nan Zhe was with what she had decided on, he would definitely agree in the end. However, she would still face it nervously every time.

At this moment, she was very calm.

If it was in the past, she would definitely not dare to say such things.

After the siblings looked at each other, Nan Zhe did not seem to think too much about it and nodded. “Okay.”

“Go on.”

She thought he was being sarcastic and in a fit of anger, but after exchanging glances, she realized that he was serious.

It was not that Nan Zhe had not thought about it before. In just a minute, he had actually thought a lot.

Although this girl said such things, he was not confident. If he did not agree, there were many ways to make it impossible for her to stay in the capital.

Their youngest uncle did not want to see the siblings having a conflict. When the time came, he would definitely help him.

Nan Ge was too naive.

However, on second thought, he thought that if Nan Ge could not stay with his youngest uncle in the future, would she be willing to return to Jiang City?

No, she won’t.

She was already stubborn to begin with. Coupled with his obstruction, the grudge in her heart would probably work against him.

Those legs were hers and she might be heartless enough to run overseas.

In comparison, if she stayed in the capital, it was at least on his youngest uncle’s territory. There was someone protecting her.

Just as Nan Ge was trying to heave a sigh of relief, she heard Nan Zhe say, “But I have a condition.”

“What?” Nan Ge frowned.

“Didn’t you want to enter the financial industry after graduation? Since you want to do it yourself, I’ll give you a year after graduate school.”

“Without relying on the family or Little Uncle, you have to earn 20 million in a year. If you can’t earn it, you will come home.”

‘ Nan Ge’s breathing paused slightly. “I just graduated. How can I...’

“How is that impossible? Go and ask Shen Yanqing if it’s possible when he was your age.”

Nan Ge glared at him.

How could she compare to Shen Yanqing?

“Alright, ten million is fine too.” He quickly relented and continued, “That’s not important. What I want to see is your determination. You can’t run so far and stay outside for so long without doing anything, right?”

Although she could not rely on her youngest uncle on the surface, the people around her youngest uncle had long been introduced to her. She had connections.

As long as Nan Ge worked hard and used her talent to move the other party, plus they were all her youngest uncle’s friends, it was not difficult for them to do her the favor.

With her youngest uncle and the others around, as long as Nan Ge was willing to work hard, she would basically just pick up money. Therefore, he was not making things difficult for her.

Nan Ge agreed immediately.

After dinner, Nan Zhe sent her to Shen Yanqing.

In the car downstairs, Nan Ge unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to get out of the car.

Nan Zhe lit a cigarette unhurriedly sitting beside her. “The last time you had a cold war with me was when you were about to take the college entrance examination.”

. ‘ Nan Ge stopped what she was doing. She recalled carefully and nodded.

At that time, Nan Zhe forced her to study. There was a time when the two of them did not interact at all other than talking about studying every day.

She ate whatever food he bought and ignored him. Nan Zhe could not be bothered to coax her.

Hence, the cold war lasted for a few days.

However, it was not as serious as it was now,

This time, it was too long.

“Do you hate me?”

She was about to answer when Nan Zhe turned around. “It’s fine. You can tell the truth. I’m not a three-year-old child.”

Nan Ge thought about it seriously and asked, “Are you referring to now?”

“Uh huh.”

“Not really.”

It was not that serious.

“I understand the logic. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Nan Ge’s tone was sullen. “I’m not blaming you or Mom and Dad for this period of time. I just regret it a little.”

Nan Zhe’s hand trembled as he held the cigarette. “Regret?”

Nan Ge raised her head and smiled at him. “I regret hiding behind you and not falling out with them earlier..”
