Chapter 1179 The Lights Went Out

Su Xiyin was stunned for a moment. She thought to herself, this lady is really strong. The Hawaiian Fruit is very sturdy, even a man would not be able to open it easily.

Ling Sheng was stunned as well, she looked at her as though she was looking at a monster. What kind of strange strength was this? She was clearly extremely strong, but she still acted like a weakling. She really could not get used to

it.

Si Chengluo also looked at Song Yiyan with disdain. Was she pretending to be obedient in front of her elders? She was clearly a wolf in sheep’s clothing, giving him goosebumps. Ji Xing was also impressive. He could actually tolerate this strange woman and did not lose his temper no matter how she tortured him. Impressive!

“Where’s Second Uncle?” Song Yiyan looked at Ling Sheng and asked, her big eyes flashing innocently. “Sheng Sheng, where’s Second Uncle?”

“In the study. He will be out in a while.” Ling Sheng glanced in the direction of the study. She was very impressed by her natural friendliness.

After her second uncle arrived, her father called to inform the other uncles. They were all talking in the study room. Her mother was also there, there were only a few people left in the living room.

Nangong Lun looked at Song Yiyan and didn’t speak for a long time. Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore and asked, “Yanyan, did you run away from the marriage because of him?”

This child was not her own. Looking at her, she must have been deceived by this man. This child had always been innocent.

“No.” Song Yiyan was no longer spineless. She sat up straight and pulled the plate of nuts in front of her. She began to pinch the Hawaiian Fruit one by one. She sniffled and felt wronged. “Grandfather Nangong, my grandfather forced me to marry someone I don’t like. That’s why I ran away. I don’t like Dongfang Fan.”

Dongfang Fan, that idiot, was a scumbag. If he dared to lay a finger on her, she would beat him up until he cried for his parents.

As an elder, Nangong Lun still had to ask. He could not watch her suffer. “Then, Mr. Ji, what does your family do?” Ling Sheng coughed softly and stole a glance. What was Ji Xing working as? Was he delivering food? He was even wearing the clothes of a delivery man.

However, she had to admit that as long as a person was good-looking, they would look good even if they were wearing a snakeskin bag.

“Oh, him? He’s delivering food now!” Song Yiyan introduced generously. “But he has potential. I’m sure he’ll shine in the future.”

Nangong Lun frowned. He felt that Song Yiyan was lying to him, but he couldn’t say it out loud.

The boy in front of him did not seem like a delivery boy. He was calm and composed even when facing him and his brother. No matter what he said or did, he had a sense of propriety and great self-restraint. This kind of aristocratic temperament and self-cultivation was not something that could be tempered in a day or two. This meant that the environment he was born in was like this.

He basically knew all the young and talented people. There were quite a few young and accomplished people like him, but none of them could compare to him.

For such a person, even if he did not have any background and only roamed around by himself, no matter which industry he developed in, he would definitely be successful. Why would he hide his identity to deceive their innocent girl?

Was it because he truly loved her? Or did he have other intentions?

Huo Xiao had seen countless people and was a sly old fox. Basically, he could tell what kind of person the other party was with one look. Someone like Ji Xing was definitely not just a delivery man.

Nangong Lun asked Song Yiyan and Ji Xing some trivial questions, such as family background and family members. Only then did he know that he had lost his memory and was saved by Song Yiyan. He only knew his name and nothing else.

With the principle of being responsible for the younger generation, Nangong Lun quietly asked Huo Xiao, “Brother Huo, think carefully. Have you really never seen this Ji Xing before?”

Because of the incident with the chess and the surveillance cameras, Huo Xiao originally wanted to ignore him, but when he thought about his daughter-in-law and son, he still had to greet him with a smile. “I don’t remember. I know all the young people in China. If there was really such a good-looking young man like him, I would have reserved him for my granddaughter.”

In his opinion, this Ji Xing was much more pleasing to the eye than that bastard Third Master Jun. Look at how much he knew how to dote on others and how sensible he was!

Nangong Lun was angered by his words. What? Does his baby need him to find a man? Ji Xing? What kind of man couldn’t his baby get? “I’ve seen some of the young talents overseas, but not him. What kind of person is he?”

He was afraid that Yanyan would be cheated.

“Nangong, let me tell you something heartfelt. I don’t think he’s bad. Yanyan has already cut ties with the Song family, so what could Ji Xing want from her?” Huo Xiao said what he wanted to say. “Also, I think your Yanyan already has him under her thumb. She’s not as weak as you think.”

He felt that Ji Xing was a perfect match for Song Yiyan.

He had seen this girl from the Song family before. She was timid and honest like a little rabbit.

However, although she still looked weak today, she gave off a completely different feeling. She was like a little wild beast that could bare its fangs at any time. She was definitely not that weak.

Nangong Lun was still worried. But he could also feel that even though Yanyan looked weak at first glance, upon closer inspection, she was like a wolf in sheep’s clothing and was not a simple person.

After this matter was settled, he would talk to Old Song. After all, no matter what Yanyan did, she was still Old Song’s child. Old Song wouldn’t go overboard.

Not long after, Huo Ci and the rest came out of the study.

Su Xiyin and the rest came out with the dishes and asked everyone to wash their hands quickly. Dinner was about to start. Song Yiyan came out of the kitchen with two plates of food in her hands. She glanced at the group of handsome men across her and her eyes lit up. They were all gorgeous men!

However, the uncles were a little old. If they were a little younger, she could consider it.

Her gaze flashed past, but she did not dare to be too ostentatious. After all, those handsome uncles across from her were not ordinary handsome uncles. They could make China tremble with just a stomp of their feet. They were men who stood at the pinnacle of power and wealth.

The person sitting in the wheelchair was Sheng Sheng’s second uncle, Yan Yuanfei. However, it was very strange as she did not sense any signs of life on him. Life aura was the foundation of a person’s survival, only dead people did not have life aura!

Ling Sheng came out of the kitchen with the dishes. The moment she stepped out, all the lights in the house were switched off!
