Nan Zhiyan knew this was a novel world, and she was an insignificant, positive female supporting character who had secretly liked the male lead since childhood.
So, even though Nan Zhiyan did...
Chapter 34: A Place You Shouldn't Be
Although the results of the investigation have not yet come out, based on Lu Yanjing's attitude today, Wende is probably not very clean either.
One billion.
Thinking of the information on the document he had seen, ten billion star coins, Nan Zhiyan sneered.
In Wende's eyes, such an amount was actually a small amount that could be forgiven.
Can we only say that they are worthy of being nobles? They can be so extravagant.
Nan Zhiyan spoke up to persuade him, although he wished Nan Wenqi would die immediately, but not now.
Hearing this, Nan Wenqi's face darkened, and before he could ask more questions, Nan Zhiyan went upstairs.
Only Nan Wenqi was left there, feeling somewhat confused and uncertain.
But the next moment, he remembered the recent rumors in the parliament that someone had reported the prime minister's son for corruption and bribery.
His face changed slightly, and Nan Wenqi turned around and walked out without stopping.
Rather than asking Nan Zhiyan, it would probably be more appropriate to ask Duke Ulraf directly for this kind of information.
But recently, thinking of Lu Cheng's attitude towards him, Nan Wenqi frowned.
Then he relaxed again. If Lu Cheng hadn't been unwilling to use him...
No matter what, people always have to plan for themselves, not to mention that he is doing it for the entire Nan family.
Nan Zhiyan took off her dress, washed up as quickly as possible, then sat down at the table and began to deal with the matters that Lu Yanjing had asked her to do.
The control panel on the table was flashing. After finishing the last meeting, Nan Zhiyan finally had time to take a sip of the tea beside him.
Nan Zhiyan's hand holding the teacup paused as he caught a glimpse of the group photo on the table.
With a touch of the finger, the photo started moving. A beautiful woman was looking at her two children in her arms with a smile. The love in her eyes made people feel warmer than the warm sunshine.
It was indeed very warm. That woman was the only truly kind, simple and gentle woman Nan Zhiyan had ever seen in this world.
She gave all her love to her and Nan Zhixing. When they were young, no matter what they did, this woman would give them unlimited tolerance.
“Pah.”
The door was pushed open, and when Nan Zhiyan looked up and saw the person coming in, the corners of his lips that were slightly raised instantly fell.
"Hey, Ah Yan, you're back?"
Bai Qingrou walked in from outside and looked around Nan Zhiyan's room.
When I saw the cloakroom on the other side of the control wall, with a whole wall of clothes, shoes, bags and jewellery, my expression inevitably twisted.
Nan Zhiyan’s bedroom is very large, and this single room is divided into three bedrooms and two living rooms.
It was the kind of house that Bai Qingrou could only see in the busy area of Ulaf city before she met Nan Wenqi.
But it is just a bedroom in these noble manors.
Even now, she can only live in this building next to the main building.
Her two children were not qualified to enter the floors above the second floor and had to live in the guest rooms on the first floor.
With the jealousy in her eyes barely concealed, Bai Qingrou walked to Nan Zhiyan's desk and swept her eyes over the paper books on the table, all of which were filled with complex and difficult-to-understand texts.
Bai Qingrou didn't understand and could only curl her lips, but she caught a glimpse of the photo on Nan Zhiyan's desk out of the corner of her eye.
But the next moment, the photo was taken by Nan Zhiyan.
"What's the matter?"
Nan Zhiyan raised his head and looked at Bai Qingrou who was looking around.
She had no opinion about Bai Qingrou. There was really nothing to pay attention to about a woman whose ambition was clearly written in her eyes.
After all, Nan Wenqi has many mistresses of this kind.
Nan Zhiyan's tone was cold, but Bai Qingrou's face turned ugly for a moment. After all, she was Nan Zhiyan's elder. It was ok for him not to say hello every time he saw her, but now he actually spoke to her in this tone.
But thinking of what she had asked Nan Zhiyan for, Bai Qingrou endured it again.
"Nothing, I just heard you were back and came to see you."
Bai Qingrou forced a smile, but thinking of her precious son, she had to speak to Nan Zhiyan in a humble tone.
"Since you are alright, please leave. This is not the place for you."
Nan Zhiyan gave a kind warning, but Bai Qingrou wasn't sure whether she didn't take Nan Wenqi's words to heart or if she really thought Nan Wenqi wouldn't do anything to her.
The third floor is not just her and Nan Zhixing’s bedroom.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingrou's dissatisfaction, which she had suppressed with great difficulty, surfaced again.
What is a place you shouldn't come to? Sooner or later, she will become the hostess here. There is no place she can't go.
But when she saw Nan Zhiyan's light-colored pupils, Bai Qingrou shuddered and her anger instantly dissipated.
Obviously it is not threatening at all, but it makes people feel a chill in their hearts subconsciously.
After realizing what was happening, Bai Qingrou felt a little annoyed that she was actually frightened by a junior like Nan Zhiyan.
"No, I mean, Ah Yan, you know that your sister is a shy girl. She has been in love with Master Ulaf for a long time."
"I'm thinking about you working for Master Wuerlaf. As a sister, I should help your sister. If Ah Xin and Master Wuerlaf are together, it will be good for you, right? And..."
Bai Qingrou's tone was matter-of-fact, and Nan Zhiyan's lips curled slightly when he heard it.
Perhaps it was the first time since coming to this world that he faced such straightforwardness, even a bit of naive stupidity. At this moment, Nan Zhiyan even thought Bai Qingrou was a little cute.
I wonder if her father brought her back because of this.
After taking a look at the figure outside the unclosed door behind Bai Qingrou, Nan Zhiyan's smile paused slightly.
"I'm sorry, I have to remind you that you should leave."
Interrupting Bai Qingrou's endless chatter, Nan Zhiyan gave her another kind reminder.
But Bai Qingrou still didn't appreciate it. Her words were suddenly interrupted, which made Bai Qingrou's long-accumulated dissatisfaction burst out again.
"Nan Zhiyan, what do you mean? Ah Xin is your biological sister, and you don't even..."
"what are you doing here?"
A gloomy voice came from behind, interrupting Bai Qingrou's words again. She turned around and met Nan Wenqi's ugly face.
Bai Qingrou was startled and patted her chest. She did not realize the seriousness of the matter and went forward as usual. Her expression instantly became innocent and gentle.
"Wenqi, I just wanted to come up and show some concern for Ah Yan, but who knew that this kid didn't seem to like me, she..."
"Who allowed you to come up here?"
Unfortunately, Nan Wenqi didn't seem to buy it. He pinched Bai Qingrou's jaw with a terribly gloomy face.
He continued to exert force with his palm, and even when facing Bai Qingrou's instantly terrified look, Nan Wenqi did not show any mercy.
The severe pain made Bai Qingrou struggle subconsciously. She could not even say a word and could only keep slapping Nan Wenqi's arm that was pinching her, trying to make him let her go.
"Father."
It was not until he heard Nan Zhiyan's voice beside him that Nan Wenqi let go of his hand and threw the person to the ground.
"Get out of here, this is not the place for you."
The condescending gaze concealed a cold murderous intent. Bai Qingrou was terrified. It was the first time she saw Nan Wenqi like this, and she ran out of the room, tumbling and crawling.
