Balu accompanied Nanxi back to Yuncheng.

After burying Nan Zhenguo's ashes, the two thanked their relatives and returned to the Nan family's old house.

On the pear wood table, there was another portrait and a memorial tablet.

Nanxi stood in front of the table for a long time, staring at the portraits of her grandfather and father in a daze.

Aunt Ying came over and looked at her with concern, "Miss."

"I'm fine, Aunt Ying." Nanxi said calmly, "Why do I always feel that Grandpa and Dad are still here? Even though their portraits are right in front of me, even though I saw them buried with my own eyes, I still feel that they are still here?"

Aunt Ying sighed, "This is what it's like when a loved one passes away. The saddest part isn't when they leave, because then you can't react at all. The saddest part is every time you accidentally think of them in the years to come.

Miss, now there are only you and the young master left in the Nan family. You brothers and sisters must support and rely on each other. "

Nanxi turned around and looked at Aunt Ying, "Aunt Ying, I originally planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination and continue my studies, but looking at the current situation, I have to put my studies on hold until I get the family business in order.

The company in China has been liquidated, and the Nan family's main industries are now in Southeast Asia. I can't stay here for long and have to leave. So, I want to ask you, do you want to go to Southeast Asia with me, or continue to stay in the old house and help me guard the Nan family?"

Aunt Ying went over and took her hand. "Miss, the Nan family is your roots and your escape route. I'll stay here and help you protect the Nan family. That way, no matter where you go, you'll always have a home to return to. Isn't that right?"

Nan Xirun's eyes were slightly sore, and she pursed her lips and nodded. "Well, thank you, Aunt Ying. I will have someone transfer the monthly household expenses to the family account on time, and you can manage them. In addition, your granddaughter's tuition will be paid by the Nan family. Isn't she studying foreign trade? When she graduates, if she is willing, I can arrange a job for her."

Aunt Ying nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Miss."

"Don't be polite with me, Aunt Ying." Nanxi said, and after adjusting her mood, she said, "How is the thing I asked you to do going? I don't have much time, and I must finish everything as soon as possible."

"It's all done, miss. I've checked everyone in the villa. Anyone related to the young master has resigned with excuses, leaving only the master's direct descendants. However, there are still a few people I can't make up my mind about." Aunt Ying looked a little embarrassed.

"Who?"

"They are the old man's former driver and the two veterans who always followed him. After the old man passed away, they were arranged to work as security guards. They are not Xiaoxiansheng's people, and strictly speaking, they are not the elders of the Nan family, so it is difficult to arrange them."

Nanxi thought for a moment and said, "Well, call them all over and I'll ask them."

In less than five minutes, three tall and straight men walked in from outside. They were full of energy and vigor, with upright and resolute expressions. It was obvious that they had served in the military.

"Miss, are you calling us?" The old man's former driver, named Sun Cheng, spoke first.

"Well, Brother Sun, how many years have you been with my grandfather?"

"I joined the army at the age of nineteen and was chosen to be a guard for the old leader. Later, the old leader retired. After I finished my military service, I returned to my hometown to engage in breeding. I lost all my money and borrowed money everywhere. When the old leader found out, he called me to be his driver. It has been more than ten years now." Sun Cheng said a little embarrassedly.

"What about you?" Nanxi turned and asked the other two people sitting opposite.

"We used to be soldiers of the old commander. The year he retired, we also retired. We didn't have any skills when we returned to our hometown, so we thought of asking the old commander to introduce us to a job. Unexpectedly, he just asked us to follow him directly. It has been almost ten years since then." The man named Wu Gang spoke in a muffled voice.

Nanxi nodded, "It's like this, I'm not in the country all year round, and the old house doesn't need too many people. Forget about other people, but you are my grandfather's people, I trust you, so I want to ask for your opinions. Do you want to continue to stay in the Nan family, or go to Southeast Asia with me, or find a way out on your own?

Of course, if you leave the Nan family, I won't treat you unfairly. I'll give you an extra year's salary as a buffer. If you stay with the Nan family, your salary will remain the same. If you go to Southeast Asia with me, since you'll be going abroad, your salary will be four times more than it is now. You can consider it yourself. Just tell Aunt Ying your thoughts before I leave."

After Nanxi finished speaking, the three of them looked at each other, as if no one had expected that the eldest lady did not fire them directly, but gave them ample choices.

Baru had an appointment with Zhang Lijun for dinner today. After dinner, he bought some flowers. The bandit came in with a basket of flowers on his back. When he saw Nanxi sitting and chatting with a few men, the curve of his mouth immediately flattened.

"Are you chatting?"

Nanxi knew he was jealous again when she saw his expression. She took a deep breath and said to them, "Please think about what I said. Then you can go back to your work."

A few people thanked him and got up to leave.

Baru sat on the sofa in a depressed mood. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. His hand was still touching the lighter, but the cigarette in his mouth had been taken away.

"No smoking, you disgusting guy." Nanxi threw the cigarette into the trash can and glared at him.

"Nan Xiaoxi, what do you mean? Do you hate me? Then who do you like?" The man felt aggrieved and angry. After he finished speaking, he lay back with his eyes closed in anger and stopped talking.

Nanxi looked at his angry expression, waited for more than ten seconds, raised her eyebrows, stood up, and walked upstairs.

Baru waited and waited, but she not only didn't comfort him, but also turned and left. He was a little confused, watching her go upstairs without looking back. He wiped his face, got up and chased after her.

"No, Nan Xiaoxi, what do you mean? Are you too lazy to even coax me now? You really don't know how to cherish what you have, you scumbag..."

Nanxi's face turned red from trying to hold back her laughter. She opened the bedroom door, lay down on the bed, buried her face in the soft silk quilt, and laughed softly.

Baru chased in, squatted beside the bed, and lay down not far from her to listen to the noise.

After listening for a while, I finally realized she was laughing, and my heart instantly relaxed. "Nan Xiaoxi, you're amazing. What are you laughing at?"

He flipped the person over and pressed down on him, their foreheads touching, intimate and ambiguous.

"Ba Xiaolu, you really are like a jealous person." Nanxi said while suppressing her laughter.

"Then you are a troublemaker, Nan Xiaoxi. My heart wasn't damaged by the bomb, but by you scaring it." He bit her bright red lips in anger.

"I'm just jealous. I'm on guard now when I see a male dog approaching you. Nan Xiaoxi, am I sick?"

"Well, I am sick, and it's a serious illness." Nanxi teased him.

"Ba Xiaolu, could you please stop being so paranoid? What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you won't want me, afraid you'll leave me, wife." The man's eyes were full of complexities. "That bastard Zawan said that Chinese women wouldn't fall for Burmese soldiers. I know in my heart that you wouldn't, but I'm also afraid that over time, you'll lose interest in me and think I'm not as good as Chinese men, and won't want me anymore."
