Nangong Meimei and Nangong Lin also looked at each other with disdain. They were members of the dignified Nangong family and had a natural sense of superiority. They had always looked down on the illegitimate son, Nangong Jue, especially since he had such a shameless mother.

Only Nangong Shuangshuang frowned slightly, looking at Nangong Jue with some worry. To be honest, she quite liked this second brother, after all, what happened back then had nothing to do with him. Unfortunately, she was of low status and didn't dare to say much. Of course, she also didn't want any conflicts to arise in the family.

So she looked at Nangong Jue with pleading eyes, begging him to bear with it, and there was a hint of apology in her eyes.

Although Le Yao was caught in the crossfire, she was not affected at all. Instead, she took a very gossipy look at the whole situation and found Nangong Shuangshuang to be quite interesting.

Nangong Jue glanced at Nangong Shuangshuang, then looked at Zhou Nianzhi: "Second Aunt is absolutely right. What kind of family is the Nangong family? A top-tier wealthy family. How can just any woman enter the family? Isn't that right, Second Uncle?"

Nangong Rongyu was taken aback, then chuckled twice: "Ajue, your second aunt just likes to talk nonsense, don't take it seriously." But as he lowered his eyes, a hint of annoyance flashed in them.

Zhou Nianzhi's face immediately turned ugly. When she was mocking Le Yao just now, she completely forgot her own identity.

Although outsiders call her Miss Zhou, those who know her know that she is not a young lady at all; she was just adopted by the Zhou family.

The Zhou family treated her well, providing her with a life free from want and transforming her from an ordinary girl into a socialite. However, she knew that the Zhou family never truly considered her a member of the Zhou family; it was all just a facade.

The fact that her surname is Zhou is purely coincidental.

"Since Second Aunt is talking nonsense, then I'm talking nonsense too." Nangong Jue maintained his indifferent expression, as if he were just saying it casually.

Nangong Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief and gave Nangong Jue a grateful look.

Wen Jia glanced at Zhou Nianzhi with disgust, but didn't say anything.

Nangong Rongyao glared at his younger brother. They had originally planned to arrange a marriage between him and Zhou Nianzhi, but because of Zhou Nianzhi, the Nangong family almost became the laughing stock of the entire capital.

Nangong Rongyu touched his nose, looking somewhat innocent.

Nangong Jue didn't care about the issues between the brothers. He reached out and pulled Le Yao to his side: "Let me introduce you all. This is Han Binglan, the eldest daughter of the Han family, and my current girlfriend."

Le Yao stared at him with wide eyes, wondering when she had become his girlfriend.

Nangong Jue smiled at her, with a hint of pleading. "Don't be stubborn with me now, give me some face, okay?"

Le Yao naturally wouldn't argue with the other party in such a situation. She could only silently reach out to the other party's lower back, pinch a piece of soft flesh, and then twist the flesh around.

However, Nangong Jue calmly reached out and grasped the troublesome hand.

Le Yao tried to pull her hand back, but failed several times. In the end, she had to give up. After all, she couldn't be too forceful in front of these people; she still had to maintain a smile and composure.

"Nonsense." Nangong Rongyao frowned, his eyes filled with disgust as he looked at Le Yao. "Didn't you two already get divorced?"
