Nangong Zong, who was trying to hold back his anger, heard his sister, who had been constantly being beaten, talking.

He couldn't even tell what was wrong with himself; all his strength suddenly dissipated.

He lay on the ground and pointed with his finger at Nangong Ye, who was still sitting on the sofa, angry.

"Hmph, all you know is to abuse this kind of violence. That's one of the things I hate about you. I'm moving out tomorrow and making a name for myself through my own abilities."

Seeing Nangong Ye's angry glare, Nangong Qi said to him with great annoyance, also wanting to take this opportunity to tell him about her plan to leave.

Where to?

When Nangong Ye saw that the person had returned, the anger in his stomach gradually subsided. Then, he looked at Nangong Qi and asked expressionlessly.

“A good friend of mine is starting a company, and the company is currently in the preparation stage. I want to go and help her out.”

Seeing that Nangong Ye's attitude had begun to soften, he quickly revealed his purpose.

"Take the young master away, and everyone else, get out as well."

Nangong Ye looked at Nangong Zong lying on the ground, as well as the others standing in the hall, and then waved his hand and said.

“I didn’t say you can’t like people, but you can’t like someone who is married. You’re not getting any younger, and this company will be your responsibility in the future.”

Soon, only Nangong Ye and his daughter Nangong Qi remained in the hall. He walked up to Nangong Qi and spoke to her earnestly.

“I know what you mean. I have no feelings for Lu Fan anymore. I will leave the family business to Nangong Zong. After all, he is the male heir of the family. I want to use my own abilities to train myself. When I feel that I am ready, I will come back to help Nangong Zong.”

The father and daughter originally had a good relationship and there had never been any conflicts.

After graduating from university, Nangong Qi went to work at Lu Fan's company and wouldn't come back no matter how much they called her.

Nangong Ye sent people to investigate and discovered that Nangong Qi had fallen in love with their boss, which the whole family initially thought was a good thing.

However, they later discovered that Lu Fan not only had a wife, but that his wife was also pregnant.

All of Nangong Qi's family members were vehemently opposed to her continuing to work at Lu Fan's company.

That's why Nangong Qi was locked up at home.

"Okay, if you can guarantee this, starting today, your confinement will be lifted, and you can go out freely."

Nangong Ye wanted Nangong Qi to guarantee that this matter would not reach the ears of those rival companies.

After meeting him, he probably had nowhere to hide his face.

"I understand. I will definitely not tarnish the reputation of the Nangong family."

Upon hearing her father's words, Nangong Qi rushed up and hugged Nangong Ye, a smile spreading across her face as she spoke to him.

"It's getting late, you should go and get some rest, or you'll get dark circles under your eyes."

After being hugged, Nangong Ye gave Nangong Qi a few words of advice, then turned and left the hall, heading towards his room.

Nangong Qi was the only one left in the hall. She looked around and saw no one else.

Nangong Qi walked outside the door, then quickly returned and hurried towards Nangong Zong's room.

"Have you finished applying the medicine?"

Upon entering Nangong Zong's room, Nangong Qi saw two of the family's private doctors examining him and applying ointment to his back.

"The examination is complete, and the medicine has been applied. Young Master, you absolutely must not turn over."

The two doctors looked at Nangong Qi, then exchanged a glance, both understanding that Nangong Qi wanted to talk to Nangong Zong about something.

After quickly finishing, he gave Nangong Zong a few instructions and left the room.

"Sister, why are you so late? Do you know how much your brother has suffered for you?"

Nangong Zong had already seen Nangong Qi enter, but he pretended not to see her and began to complain with his back to her.

"You brat!"

Nangong Qi patted Nangong Zong on the back and said.

"Ouch! That hurts! What's wrong with me complaining a little?"

My back was already quite painful after the ointment was applied, but my older sister's two strokes doubled the pain.

"I've done what I promised you, so hurry up and eat. After you're done, clean up the mess."

Seeing that Nangong Zong was still resentful, Nangong Qi threw the bag of fried chicken and hamburgers she had promised to buy in front of him and said.

"Sister, you're so kind."

He was initially resentful that Nangong Qi had returned late.

When he saw what Nangong Qi threw at him, and realized it was the fried chicken he had been craving, all his previous resentment vanished.

Since the area on my back that had been whipped no longer hurt, I sat up directly.

He ate hastily, saying to Nangong Qi as he ate.

"Your back doesn't hurt anymore?"

Seeing that Nangong Zong had sat up and was no longer in pain, she asked him with some confusion.

"It hurts, but I can endure it for the sake of food."

Nangong Zong looked up at Nangong Qi, still stuffing food into his mouth, his eyes filled with tears.

With his mouth full, he stammered as he spoke to Nangong Zongqi.

"Alright, eat slowly, I'm going back now."

Looking at her younger brother, Nangong Qi felt sorry for him. In families like theirs, how many people could truly follow their hearts? She couldn't help but sigh.
