Chapter 446 It turns out, Nan Wan is her biological older sister

Inside the spacious luxury car, Yan Jin sat in the back seat. The image of Tang Xiaoya's tearful face echoed in his mind. He rubbed his temples, feeling irritated.

He was afraid that if he stayed even a minute longer, he would be unable to resist going up to hug her and comfort her.

But he wouldn't allow himself to do that.

This time, she must be taught a lesson so that we can see if she dares to disobey us or go against us again.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Immediately send a special plane to Suzhou to bring Tang Xiaoya's sick mother to Luocheng for treatment."

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"You go yourself. I won't allow any mistakes to happen."

The person on the other end of the phone agreed, and Yan Jin hung up the phone with a gloomy expression.

This woman will never believe him.

She always thought of him as a heartless man and never gave in to him; she was very stubborn.

Around noon, the Yan family villa was in a complete mess.

In the surveillance video, several men in black acted swiftly and skillfully, without harming anyone, but they easily knocked out all the bodyguards and "took" Tang Xiaoya away.

Throughout the entire process, Tang Xiaoya did not cry for help, did not panic, and did not even struggle.

Yan Jin stared at the screen, her brows furrowed with worry.

He had already guessed who was behind the act, given how straightforward and undisguised it was.

He picked up his phone and dialed Tang Xiaoya's number.

Power off.

once.

twice.

It's still switched off.

So, you dare to shut down your phone and run away?

He was so angry that his handsome face turned as black as charcoal.

"Get the car ready!" he roared, his anger blazing.

He called Shen Xin again, "Your cousin's wife has kidnapped Tang Xiaoya. I'm going to the Nan family manor to demand her return."

Shen Xin only said three words on the other end of the phone, "No way," before Yan Jin hung up immediately.

Yan Jin was furious. If he captured her, he would definitely beat her up for three days and three nights.

The phone rang.

He answered the phone; it was his special assistant in Los Angeles.

"President Yan, the person has been picked up and is returning to Luocheng."

Upon hearing this news, Yan Jin's expression softened somewhat.

"Pick her up in our hospital, find the best doctors to treat her, and don't let a word of it leak out," he instructed.

"yes."

A short while later, the phone rang again.

This time it's Si Nuan.

"Honey, when are you coming back? I miss you."

Yan Jin pinched the bridge of her nose, her tone impatient.

"I'm busy. My little white rabbit ran away. You'll have to take care of things yourself for a few days."

He paused, then added.

"Also, you're not allowed to call me that anymore."

He hung up the phone immediately. Judging from the way she spoke, she must have been caught by that guy Li Zhengyang.

Inside a luxury private room at the Fanxing Hotel in Yuncheng.

Si Nuan looked at the phone screen where the call had been disconnected and helplessly patted her forehead.

This man is heartless. He clearly agreed to cooperate and would stay with her in Yuncheng for a week, but he disappeared after only three days.

Right now, Li Zhengyang has her cornered in the private room.

She had just finished having dinner with two clients when Li Zhengyang arrived.

His bodyguards escorted the guest out, leaving her alone inside.

The man exuded a powerful aura. He was tall with long legs, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist, and his tailored suit accentuated his strong and muscular physique. His sharp, eagle-like eyes were fixed on her, scanning her repeatedly, as if they could devour her whole.

Si Nuan took a deep breath and walked to the door.

"Mr. Li, please let me through, I need to go home."

Li Zhengyang looked at her, his eyes swirling with unreadable emotions.

He just finished his divorce last week, and this woman has already announced her engagement to Yan Jin.

She didn't take him seriously at all.

Ten years of relationship, how could she just throw it away?

"I'll take you back," he said in a low voice.

"No need, I have a car, please move aside." Si Nuan looked at him coldly.

Before the New Year, she secretly stayed by his side in the hospital for a month until he recovered. She thought the two of them could finally be together.

Unexpectedly, he used the excuse that they were not yet divorced to keep her at arm's length.

He came last week after his divorce.

But she didn't care anymore.

She readily agreed to the engagement with the Yan family and also arranged a private collaboration with Yan Jin. They would play along, helping each other but not interfering in each other's private affairs, all to appease their families.

Why could Li Zhengyang get married once and have a beautiful woman in his arms, while she had waited for five years in vain? She felt a surge of resentment.

"Nuan Nuan, be good. Tomorrow, go and cancel the marriage with the Yan family and come back to me."

His tone was domineering, his gaze intense, and his voice commanding. He took a step forward, his presence overwhelming.

"Ha, Mr. Li, even my dad can't control me. Who do you think you are?" Si Nuan glared at him and reached out to push him.

Damn, his chest was hard, his steps were steady. I couldn't push him away.

"Get out of here," she yelled again, her voice filled with impatience.

Li Zhengyang picked her up and carried her outside.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Si Nuan exclaimed, kicking wildly with her little feet, her skirt flying.

"The Si family and the Li family are sworn enemies. Do you want me to continue chasing after the Li family?"

"As long as you like it." Li Zhengyang curled his lips, his voice tinged with amusement.

In the past, the two families enjoyed competing against each other.

He liked it when she chased after him and fought with him for projects. In fact, he was the behind-the-scenes boss for many of the new energy agency deals she won.

As long as she's happy, he's willing to lift her up high so that other men can only look up to her and dare not aspire to her.

In Yuncheng, Si Nuan is undoubtedly the number one socialite, a god-like figure.

"Li Zhengyang, have you no shame?"

Si Nuan struggled incessantly, kicking her little feet wildly, making his suit pants rustle loudly.

He reached out and gently patted her bottom.

"Don't move it. If you break it, what will you use in the future?"

Si Nuan: ...

She was so angry that her face turned red. This man was simply a scoundrel.

He carried her into the elevator and went straight to the presidential suite upstairs.

"Li Zhengyang, put me down! I have a fiancé!"

She nervously pounded his back with her small hands, her fists landing on his muscles, but to no avail.

He walked very steadily, as if he were carrying a bag of cotton.

"Beep".

The door was swipe open, and he walked straight in and placed her on the large bed.

Si Nuan tried to run, but he braced himself against her, his tall frame imposing and completely locking her in place. She couldn't move.

It's been several months.

After dealing with all the mess left by his ex-wife's family, he is now finally single again.

At this moment, all he wanted was to pin her down and pamper her ruthlessly.

The longing in his eyes was almost tangible.

He never touched her before because he didn't want the term "mistress" to tarnish her reputation in the slightest.

Now, he is fearless.

"Li Zhengyang, get away from me!" she shouted, pushing him with all her might.

Li Zhengyang didn't leave; he lowered his head and tried to kiss her.

"Ah! Don't touch me!" Si Nuan screamed in terror, desperately turning her head to avoid him.

When his warm kiss pressed down.

"vomit!"

Si Nuan felt nauseous on the spot, her stomach churning violently.

“Li… ugh…” Li Zhengyang noticed her unusual behavior, quickly stepped aside, his brows furrowed.

Si Nuan rushed into the toilet and started retching into the toilet bowl, her physiological tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

She fell ill after breaking up with him.

She cannot have intimate contact with men, otherwise she will vomit violently; it is a physiological rejection.

The doctor said she might have misogyny.

Therefore, she only flirted with women and kept her distance from men.

It took her two hours to take that posed photo with Yan Jin. She had to close her eyes and try her best to hold back from vomiting.

She thought she was only averse to other men, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even stand Li Zhengyang.

We're doomed!

"Where do you feel unwell? I'll take you to the hospital." Li Zhengyang stood at the bathroom door, looking at her with concern and urgency in his voice.

Si Nuan took out a tissue and wiped away her tears.

"Get out of my way! I'm pregnant!" Si Nuan spat out fiercely, glaring at him with a hint of pleasure in her eyes.

"Whose?" Li Zhengyang gripped her wrist tightly, his eyes blazing with fury, his entire being radiating coldness.

"It's not yours anyway. If you don't want to be a kept man, stay away from me!"

She shook off his hand and walked away without looking back, her steps frantic.

Li Zhengyang's face was so dark it could drip water. He took out his phone.

"Check if Si Nuan is pregnant."

He stepped out of the room, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the beautiful scenery of Yuncheng.

Si Nuan, if you're really pregnant, I'll help you get rid of it.

You can't escape this in this lifetime.

Five years have passed; he has endured for far too long.

...

Nan Family Manor. Three luxury cars were parked across the entrance to the manor.

Yan Jin had arrived. He leaned against the car, a cigarette between his fingers. His cold eyes held a dangerous glint. He simply stared silently at the manor gate.

My subordinates have already gone to report this.

A short while later, Shen Xin arrived. He jumped out of the car in a hurry.

"What happened? How could my cousin's wife have kidnapped Tang Xiaoya?" Shen Xin's voice was filled with urgency.

Yan Jin exhaled a smoke ring. He was very calm at this moment. Because he had leverage, he had nothing to worry about.

Before long, the manor gates opened. The butler led them inside.

Yan Jin surveyed the surroundings. A sentry stood every hundred paces. The defenses were indeed formidable. He had only heard that last year, Fu Shoufu and Lu Qinglin had fought a major battle here, protecting the Nan family and causing a sensation throughout S country. Since then, no one had dared to oppose the Nan family.

Upon entering the lobby, Nan Wan was walking downstairs, protecting her pregnant belly. She wasn't walking fast.

"Sister-in-law," Shen Xin called out.

"Miss Nan, how have you been?" Yan Jin greeted her.

Nan Wan said calmly, "President Yan, it's truly a rare treat to have you here in person." She gestured for him to sit down.

The three sat down. The butler immediately served them hot tea.

“Miss Nan, the Yan family and the Nan family have no connection whatsoever.” Yan Jin stated bluntly, “Isn’t it inappropriate for you to send people to ransack my home like this?”

Nan Wan smiled slightly. "President Yan, I'm so sorry. I'll have someone deliver the compensation tonight. The broken table and chairs will be replaced at cost."

"Please give Tang Xiaoya back to me." Yan Jin got straight to the point. "I'll take her home."

"Mr. Yan, you're joking." Nan Wan picked up her tea and took a sip. "As far as I know, Xiao Ya and Mr. Yan are not married, nor have they signed a contract of servitude. So what's this talk of 'returning' her? She doesn't belong to anyone." Her words were laced with provocation.

Yan Jin's expression was not good.

"From what Miss Nan is saying, you're not willing to give it to her?" His tone turned somber.

Nan Wan placed the teacup on the coffee table with a "bang".

"President Yan, now that you've arranged a marriage with the Si family, stop bothering Tang Xiaoya. Men who are promiscuous usually don't end up well."

"Nan Wan." Yan Jin stood up abruptly, his anger palpable.

"Sister-in-law, is Tang Xiaoya really here?" Shen Xin quickly asked, trying to ease the tension. "This is ultimately a matter between the two of them. Why don't you ask her to come out and let them have a proper talk?"

Nan Wan's face also darkened; she didn't care what they had done in the past.

However, the test results came back, and Tang Xiaoya was indeed her younger sister.

She wouldn't allow anyone to bully her anymore.

“Yan Jin, Tang Xiaoya is not your plaything. If you don’t marry her, then give her freedom.” She looked directly at Yan Jin. “One day, she will make you unable to reach her, and make the entire Yan family look up to her.”

Yan Jin's face darkened further.

“My woman is none of Miss Nan’s concern. Please bring her out.” He said in a deep voice.

Nan Wan sneered, "You couldn't even keep Tang Xiaoya here, let alone me?"

Yan Jin's heart tightened.

Oh no, she's gone back to Suzhou.

He took a step and walked out.

"Sister-in-law, we'll be going now. We'll come back to visit another day." Shen Xin quickly ran out.

Yan Jin picked up her phone. Suddenly, she received a message.

Yan Chen has just boarded a plane and flown to Suzhou.

Damn it! They're trying to pull a fast one again.

"To the airport!" Yan Jin's eyes blazed with barely concealed rage.

Tang Xiaoya, if you dare to meet that man again or accept his help, I will tear you apart...

Suzhou

Lu Qinglin escorted Tang Xiaoya straight to the Central Hospital.

When I got to the ward, I found out that my mother had been picked up and discharged from the hospital three hours earlier.

The other party claimed to be a patient's family member, surnamed Yao, and then hurriedly completed the discharge procedures.

Tang Xiaoya was shocked; she had no relatives with the surname Yao.

Later, she went to the doctor to learn more about her mother's illness. It turned out to be acute nephritis, and she needed a kidney transplant as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be dangerous.

Tang Xiaoya burst into tears; she didn't know who had taken her mother away.

Lu Qinglin comforted her, "Don't worry, believe that the other party did not intend to hurt Aunt Zhang, otherwise, they would not have gone to the trouble of taking her away."

He then turned to the nurse and said, "There are no family members with the surname Yao in the patient's family. Report this to the security department immediately. I need to check the surveillance footage."

"Okay, sure." The nurse quickly made the call.

By reviewing the surveillance footage, it was discovered that the person who came to pick them up was a strange man wearing a hat to deliberately conceal his face. After completing the formalities, he put the person in a wheelchair and pushed them away.

However, judging from his physique and gait, Lu Qinglin could tell that this was someone who had practiced martial arts.

"I'll have someone investigate. Don't worry too much. Do you want to go home and visit your family?" Lu Qinglin patted her shoulder lightly.

"Um."

Lu Qinglin left the hospital with Tang Xiaoya, unaware that a group of people were secretly watching them.

After a drive of more than an hour, the car stopped in Shizi Village. The village is very beautiful, nestled against the mountains and beside the water. There are high mountains behind the village and a rushing river in front of the mountains that flows straight into the sea.

Tang Xiaoya pushed open the courtyard gate and led Lu Qinglin inside.

The yard wasn't big, but it was kept very clean.

Several fruit trees are growing well, and a small table and a few bamboo chairs are placed under their shade.

Next to it was a two-story building with snow-white walls, which was very comfortable.

Inside the house, the white porridge that Zhang Xiuyi had cooked that morning was still warm in the pot.

On the side dish were several refreshing side dishes, made by my mother.

Tang Xiaoya's tears came again.

This was the second time Lu Qinglin had come to this courtyard. He had indeed been here once before, pretending to be an old friend of Tang Yin, and had chatted with Zhang Xiuyi for a while before leaving 100,000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xiaoya was actually Nan Wan's younger sister.

He looked away and at Tang Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, has your father told you anything about your sister?"

Tang Xiaoya shook her head blankly.

Lu Qinglin's Adam's apple bobbed as he organized his thoughts.

"She grew up in Fuzhou."

"The Tang family was a prominent family in Rongcheng for centuries, with a very wealthy background. Unfortunately, later... due to the disappearance of the family head and a series of unforeseen events, they completely declined."

He paused, his gaze falling on Tang Xiaoya's shocked face.

"Your father, Tang Yin, was the head of the Tang family at that time."

"He lost all his memories in an accident, ended up here, and later married your mother."

"And your sister is his daughter with his ex-wife."

Lu Qinglin spoke each word slowly and clearly.

Hearing all this, Tang Xiaoya's eyes widened in shock, and her body trembled slightly.

This is a huge amount of information.

So... my sister's name is Tang Shi?

She asked in a trembling voice, having already guessed the meaning of the word "poetry" when she heard "Tang family".

Lu Qinglin nodded heavily.

"She always missed her father. Unfortunately, her father missed her entire childhood."

"Later, when she got engaged, her father went back home."

His eyes darkened, and his tone was filled with undisguised regret.

"As a result... her fiancé misunderstood her as her cheating lover."

"What?" Tang Xiaoya was shocked again. This... is too melodramatic.

"Because of this misunderstanding, the two missed their chance to get married." Lu Qinglin's voice was deep.

"Later, the Tang family went bankrupt, and Tang Shi had nowhere to go, so she went to Qingcheng, S country, to seek refuge with the aunt of the second wife of the Nan family. Unexpectedly, she caught the eye of the third young master of the Nan family."

"The Third Young Master of the South was later ambushed by his enemies. Before he died, he entrusted the entire South Gang to her."

"It took her three whole years to defeat all her rivals and completely take over the Nan family."

"It was from that time that she changed her name to Nan Wan."

Southern night!

When Lu Qinglin uttered those two words, Tang Xiaoya could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Shock, excitement, heartache... countless emotions exploded in her chest.

It turns out that Nan Wan is the older sister.

She's her own sister!

She suddenly raised her head, her tear-streaked eyes staring at Lu Qinglin.

"Back then, the person who was betrothed to my sister... was you?"

Tang Xiaoya had heard the story of Sister Nan and Brother Lu from Qingning. Brother Lu died once to protect Sister Nan, and was resurrected after death before he was able to marry her.

"Yes." Lu Qinglin did not avoid her gaze and nodded. "I will spend my whole life atoning for my sins and love her well."

"Wait for me a moment." Tang Xiaoya said this and ran into the house.

Soon, she returned carrying a small wooden box, which was wiped very clean, showing that its owner cherished it.

She gently opened the lid of the box.

The room was filled to the brim with exquisitely packaged little gift boxes.

"The gifts Dad bought for my sister during those two years are all here."

She choked back tears as she carefully handed the box to Lu Qinglin.

"Brother-in-law Lu, please take this back and give it to my sister."

The word "brother-in-law" made Lu Qinglin's tall frame tremble.

He reached out and took it with great care, his gesture as solemn as if he were receiving a priceless treasure.

"good."

Tang Xiaoya then said, "You sit here for a while, I'm going to Aunt Lin's house to ask about Mom's situation."

After saying that, he walked out of the courtyard, through the alley on the right, and towards a small bungalow at the back.

Suddenly, a tall man darted out, covering her mouth and nose with a square scarf.

"Ugh..." She struggled for a few seconds, then immediately went limp.

The man quickly picked her up, shoved her into a discreet van parked nearby, and sped away...
