Nangong Qun looked at Lu Fan with some doubt, wondering why he had always maintained corresponding contact with their family.

Even now, he can easily see that Lu Fan is controlling them, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Even so, he still harbored no resentment, for he couldn't possibly combine these two forces entirely.

This is unreasonable not only for him, but also for Nangong Qun, as the Nangong family and the Jiang Group are two separate forces.

Dividing your eggs in two baskets provides an extra layer of protection.

"Let's just say what's on our mind. But if our cooperation goes any further, won't it attract the attention of those with ulterior motives? Besides, the current situation seems to be more complicated than we imagined. We need to be careful about some things and not give them too many opportunities."

The two were referring to the Dongfang family, which had now completely followed Elder Huang and had been constantly listening to him during this period.

If you were to compare them, the Dongfang family and Elder Huang have already established an extremely close relationship.

Not only that, the Dongfang family even went to great lengths, giving almost everything he currently possessed to Elder Huang.

Using the entire family to gain the other party's trust.

"What the Eastern family did was indeed a bit excessive, but it's nothing to us."

I just want to know how long he's going to keep being this dog. At this point, he must be having his own troubles too.

Because Lu Fan knew that as things progressed, Elder Huang no longer supported the Dongfang family, and their long-planned scheme had completely failed.

Furthermore, having already chosen Lu Fan, and with Lu Fan's performance convincing Elder Huang that he could fulfill his long-cherished wish, Huang was now in a position to help Lu Fan achieve his goal.

Perhaps it is the combined development of these events that has led to Lu Fan becoming a completely different person today.

"Is there any need to worry about that lackey of the Dongfang family? If the opportunity arises, I'd also like to speak with Elder Huang. It seems rather unreasonable for him to continue existing."

Some babies naturally need more attention in terms of fetal heart rate monitoring; we can't let them become unruly and criticize us behind our backs.

Lu Fan smiled slightly and looked at Nangong Qun and the other person beside him as they looked at each other. He understood that this was a good decision for the two of them.

This latest development has made them realize exactly what the other party wants to do.

"In that case, how much of their resources we can acquire next depends on our own abilities. We just need to have a general idea of ​​what to expect."

When the two saw this, they laughed heartily at each other. At this moment, they understood in their hearts what they should do in the face of this lamb to the slaughter.

After discussing this matter, the two chatted casually for a while. Soon, after finishing their meal, Nangong Qi looked at Lu Fan.

At this moment, he may feel a sense of loss and uncertainty. Looking at the person he once loved, even though he no longer has any feelings for them, he still feels some hesitation.

Or rather, Lu Fan is still hiding.

"Lu Fan, there's something I'd like to discuss with you privately. Shall we talk outside?"

Hearing Nangong Qi's voice beside him, Lu Fan hesitated. After all, this was a sensitive time for her, and given the current situation, he couldn't guarantee anything.

Moreover, the other party had helped him a lot before, so he couldn't just abandon them so easily.

If that were the case, he couldn't do it completely, but at this moment he was somewhat indifferent.

They could only pretend they hadn't heard the other person's voice at all. Seeing this, Nangong Qun, who was standing next to the shouts from the mountain, consciously left on his own initiative.

He understood that Nangong Qi had his own things to ask, and he had also noticed Nangong Qi's obvious changes during this time.

Even given the current situation, Lu Fan knew that it wouldn't be long before he would no longer need to worry about it.

Tuesday hadn't arrived yet, but there was still a result, which he considered a good thing, whether good or bad, as it helped him resolve his current situation.

"I remember there are some other things to take care of at home. You guys continue talking, I'll be leaving now."

After Nangong Qun left, just as Lu Fan was about to get up, Nangong Qun pressed him back into his seat and then glared at him, insisting on the situation. Lu Fan knew exactly what he had to do.

He and Nangong Qi looked at each other. At that moment, Nangong Qi no longer had the courage she had before, and for a fleeting instant, a hint of coquettishness flashed in her eyes.

“Just say what’s on your mind. We’re friends, so there’s nothing we can’t talk about.”

Given the current situation, I'd also like to know your thoughts.

Nangong Qi smiled slightly, looking at Lu Fan. At this moment, he was completely at peace. After all, so much time had passed, and he understood that this would eventually be a world for two people, just the two of them.

Having experienced the situation in Nanshan City, he understood his own place in Lu Fan's heart; perhaps, in Lu Fan's eyes, it was enough for him to be able to earn a place among the rice noodles.

"Actually, I also wanted to confirm our current relationship with you this time."

When he heard the other person say those words, he looked completely relaxed, and Lu Fan was no longer as serious as usual.

He could also sense it, and he was naturally aware of Nangong Qi's changes. At this moment, it was time to make a change.

If we keep dragging it out like before, without ever meeting in person, this won't solve the problem at all.

Furthermore, if this situation continues, he will always feel a sense of guilt for some reason.

"I also have my own views on your situation. Since we have this opportunity, let's talk about it together so we can understand the matter better."

Seeing Lu Fan's reply, Nangong Qi smiled slightly. At this moment, she also understood that something was about to come to an end.

“I understand that we can’t and we know that if I continue like this, it will destroy your family. I have thought about it during this time.”

However, I've let it go. Let's just consider her your sister; it'll count as a part of our relationship over this time."

Hearing this, Lu Fan hesitated. In the past, he might have readily admitted it, but after all the turmoil of this period, he understood the importance of consulting others about certain matters.

Besides, he doesn't have that right now, so these things should be put on hold for now.

"I need to ask Jiang Manyue's opinion first, but you two had such a big conflict before..."
