"We can find a time when she's alone. Besides, you don't have to teach someone a lesson face-to-face; that's the stupidest thing you can do."

An Wen opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

Although Le Yao was sitting in the restaurant, she could see clearly through the glass windows and doors. Moreover, because of the direction she fell, she could see the view inside Nangong Meimei's bodycon skirt from that angle. She couldn't help but twitch her lips: "Nangong Jue, you're being a bit too ungentlemanly. She's still your cousin, after all."

Nangong Jue's heart tightened, but when he saw Le Yao's smiling eyes, he felt relieved. He had almost thought the little girl was blaming him for being cruel, but it seemed he had been overthinking it. No wonder in novels, people in love become less intelligent; he probably was just like that. He then smiled and said, "Even if we are related by blood, I can't bully you."

Le Yao: ...

This scoundrel's sweet talk is getting better and better.

"Let's eat. The food here is quite good." Nangong Jue picked up the serving chopsticks and put some food on Le Yao's plate. "I'll take you somewhere else this afternoon."

Le Yao took a bite, then suddenly looked up: "That Nangong Meimei just said you were fired from the company, what happened?"

Nangong Jue frowned slightly, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to make this man feel even more heartache for him.

Playing the victim? Saying you'll have no income in the future? Won't that make the other person think you're incompetent?

Pretend it doesn't matter? Say you resigned and that you own more businesses than the Nangong Group? Wouldn't that make her think you're too calculating?

In short, I'm really torn.

Le Yao had no idea that the man in front of her had so much on his mind. Seeing him lower his head and remain silent, she smiled and patted his shoulder: "Alright, anyway, the Nangong family doesn't like you. Even if you resign, you'll still be working like a slave for them. Why bother?" She had read in the book that this guy was good at playing the stock market and had once bankrupted the Nangong Group in the stock market.

Therefore, he will not starve to death no matter what.

Nangong Jia immediately looked up, his eyes shining brightly.

"Let's eat, let's eat." Le Yao didn't want to talk about this anymore, so she lowered her head and started eating. It was her first time eating Thai food, and it was actually quite delicious. "By the way, what are those other two girls doing?"

“The daughters of two small families.” Nangong Jue peeled shrimp for Le Yao. “The purpose of currying favor with Nangong Meimei is probably to get attached to the Nangong Group.”

"Shouldn't we be currying favor with Nangong Shuangshuang?"

"Shuangshuang isn't the kind of girl you can easily win over."

Le Yao smiled, "That's indeed the case."

After the meal, Nangong Jue took Le Yao to the car.

"Where to?" Le Yao glanced in the direction, but she was unfamiliar with the capital and didn't know where to go, but it looked like they were heading towards the suburbs.

You'll know when you get there.

An hour and a half later, the car finally stopped in front of a manor.

"Lan Garden?" Le Yao glanced at the words on the gate and frowned slightly.

"Okay." Nangong Jue nodded. "Let's go in and take a look."

When Le Yao entered the orchid garden, she was immediately stunned. It truly lived up to its name as an orchid garden, filled with orchids. She didn't recognize many of them, only common ones like Phalaenopsis, Christmas cactus, and Gladiolus. She didn't recognize many of the others.
