Nangong Cang was startled by Su Xiaoxiao's shout, but not to the point of getting angry.

Seeing her bowing respectfully to apologize, he quickly helped her up and said with a kind expression, "Silly child, how could Grandpa be angry with you?"

“Grandpa, I didn’t mean to treat you like that. His name is Xu Zi’ang. We met before when President Shan went to the Nangong Group to discuss cooperation.”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Nangong Cang carefully as she spoke, and seeing that he wasn't really angry, she continued to explain, "He's been by President Shan's side for over ten years, and he's very protective of his master. He takes that matter about President Shan's past even more seriously than President Shan himself."

Upon hearing Su Xiaoxiao's words, Xu Ziang's eyes immediately flashed with surprise.

Few people know about this, but judging from her tone, it seems she knows the inside story.

Xu Ziang, recalling Shan Jinxi's repeated leniency towards her, mistakenly believed that this was the cause, and his attitude towards her became even more respectful than before.

He took a small step forward at that moment, and as Nangong Cang frowned slightly, he bowed again and said, "President Nangong, what happened when I stopped you had nothing to do with President Shan. I hope you won't take it to heart. If you are willing to calm down, I am willing to kneel here until dark as punishment."

Kneel until dark!

Su Xiaoxiao was immediately alarmed; she didn't believe Xu Ziang was joking.

She recalled a stormy day many years ago when she had lost her temper because of his and Yan Xinji's inflexibility. In her frustration, she said she didn't want to see them and that they weren't allowed to come into the house.

As a result, the two of them voluntarily stood in the pouring rain for a whole day and night, and the bodyguards and servants in the house didn't say a word of warning to her.

From then on, she nicknamed them both 'blockheads,' but she didn't dare to lose her temper in front of them anymore, for fear that they would take it seriously.

"Grandpa, please don't be angry with him. Otherwise, people will say you're taking advantage of your age and deliberately putting on airs to make things difficult for the younger generation," Su Xiaoxiao quickly advised when she saw that Xu Ziang was serious about his words.

Huangfu Junhao glanced down at the time; he was almost too late.

Left with no other choice, he carefully led Nangong Cang away and whispered a few words in the old man's ear.

Are you serious?

“Grandpa Nangong, I wouldn’t dare joke with you about this even if I had ten heads. So please don’t be angry, then we can all be happy, right?” Huangfu Junhao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Nangong Cang listened to his advice, and he genuinely loved his granddaughter-in-law Su Xiaoxiao; otherwise, this matter would have gone on forever.

Su Xiaoxiao had no idea what they were talking about in secret. She only felt relieved when she saw Nangong Cang come over with a smile and say that everything was fine, and even asked Xu Ziang to take her to the ward.

However, she couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw that Nangong Cang was still standing there.

"Grandpa, aren't you coming with us?"

"Grandpa has some things to attend to here, so you go and take care of Grandpa Su first. Remember to make sure Grandpa Su drinks the medicinal cuisine, which is made from very precious medicinal herbs."

"good."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, but before leaving, she couldn't help but glance back several times.

Xu Ziang thanked Su Xiaoxiao again for what had just happened.

"No need for thanks. If you take it upon yourself to make me kneel as punishment, I will not let you off easily."

Su Xiaoxiao knew him well; after all, if that incident had blown up, it would have affected the cooperation between the Su Group and the Nangong Consortium.

He would most likely go and accept the punishment himself to avoid giving Nangong Cang something to say about him.
