But Lin Changli twisted his body in mid-air and landed perfectly. He looked up at Kong Sang, who had his eyes closed, with a slightly cold expression. The two faced each other not far apart.

Kong Sang took the initiative, bending down to pick up the documents and bag and walking towards the door. Lin Changli sneered, "What's this? Haven't you heard that belated affection is worth less than grass?"

Kong Sang remained silent, yet seemed to see clearly even with his eyes closed, and strode out of the Lin family home.

Lin Changli cursed angrily. He had a premonition that there wouldn't be many happy nights left. What if Sangsang got upset and some jerk showed up? Damn it, that disgusting person.

When Kong Sang regained consciousness, he was already sitting in a carriage, far away from the Lin family. After a moment of confusion, he thought to himself: [Ai Tong, are you up to your old tricks again? How dare you touch my imperial body? Don't you have any sense of propriety?]

"Didn't you say you didn't want to?"

A strange glint appeared in Kong Sang's eyes: "You'll help me even if I don't want to... that's not like Ai Tong's style."

[I've been reflecting on my actions lately, and I realize I haven't protected you well enough. I should have followed your heart; what you want is what you need. What I give you... you might not like.]

After a long silence, Kong Sang suddenly asked, "[You are my system, so what is An Xiuqi's relationship to Nie Kong Sang?]"

After receiving no reply for a long time, Kong Sang chuckled, stepped on the gas, and drove away.

The matter concerning Nie Yan needs to be suppressed as soon as possible. The Nie family can fall, but it's not the right time yet. She can only leave the nest when she's strong enough. Right now, she's only just begun to grow...

It had been more than half a month since I last saw Yu Wei, and she was still the same as before, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, aloof and out of place in the Nie family.

Upon hearing that Kong Sang was going to meet Lan Ye, Yu Wei turned into a tagalong, gossiping about the Nie family all the way with Kong Sang, not losing out to any paparazzi. Kong Sang was surprised that this person had secretly observed so many things.

You can tell me all the details about which servants are having affairs with whom, especially Qiu Ning betraying Nie Yan, yet he managed to escape unscathed, which is simply unbelievable.

You should know that Nie Yan was initially taken to the special department because Qiu Ning broke her leg and cried about being abused...

"You mean Ayan hit my mom because of Qiu Ning?"

Yu Wei also looked puzzled: "Well, Qiu Ning came to the Nie family a few times, but Mom didn't like her and didn't give her a good look. Then Qiu Ning cried, and Nie Yan overturned the table."

"That's not all," Qiu Ning quickly advised, inadvertently revealing a burn on her arm. Nie Yan pressed her for details, and Qiu Ning stammered, "Ayan, please don't blame Auntie. Auntie didn't mean to knock over the tea I poured."

"After saying that, Nie Yan lost his temper and threw a pot of hot tea at her. But Mom was surrounded by many strangers protecting her. Although she was unharmed, she was so angry that she kicked Nie Yan out of the house."

Kong Sang blinked: "Sure enough, I knew that Qiu Ning was no ordinary girl. She has Ayan firmly under her thumb and even dared to lay a hand on Mom. This girl is quite something!"

Yu Wei pondered for a moment and said, "You mean she's Xiao Yue's person?"

"I used to suspect it, but now I'm not sure. Who cares who it is, as long as it doesn't harm my interests." Kong Sang didn't care.

The two were sitting in the coffee shop when they saw Lan Ye, dressed in military uniform, come in and waved to him.

As Lan Ye walked over, her outstanding looks, amplified by the allure of her uniform, captivated the nearby young women, whose eyes sparkled with hearts.

Kong Sang chuckled: "It's a waste to give you this appearance. You're quite pleasing to the eye when you don't speak, but once you open your mouth, you have the accent of a rough, burly man."

“You burly man, you also have something to ask of me, get up and sing a song for your uncle, if you sing well we can talk.”

Nie Kongsang said disdainfully, "You think you're so great? Have you forgotten that you still need to take bandages for two months?"

Lan Ye's face darkened: "The more beautiful a woman is, the more venomous she is. The ancients were right."

"Thank you for the compliment. Here, take this. Don't touch Nie Yan."

Lan Ye paused for a moment: "I realize I really don't understand you. It's all because of Nie Yan... Do you have masochistic tendencies?"

That's what he said, but he still opened the document and glanced at it, raising an eyebrow and saying, "It really wasn't him. In fact, the special department has already started investigating, and we also doubt the initial conclusion."

"Don't worry, Nie Yan's identity is sensitive. As long as it doesn't go too far, no one will take any drastic measures for the time being."

Kong Sang nodded: "That's good. You go ahead with your work, we're leaving."

"Don't go. If you have nothing else to do, come back to the Lan family home for a meal. Father would love to see you."

Kong Sang and Yu Wei exchanged a glance and bought some gifts on the spot, as basic courtesy was still necessary.

The old master of the Lan family once held the rank of general, which was only one rank lower than the old master of the Si family's rank of marshal. Now he has also retired.

Currently, the highest-ranking member of the Lan family is the eldest son, Lan Li, who holds the rank of general. He is already married, and his wife also comes from a military family, though certainly not as prominent as the Lan family. The couple has a daughter named Lan Ying, who is currently in her third year of junior high school.

The third son is Lan Ye, who is currently a major general. The second son, Lan Lian, is a bit eccentric; he is said to be very rebellious and is involved in the entertainment industry.

Despite repeated attempts by Grandpa Lan to change his ways, Lan Lian refused and, in a fit of anger, imposed a ban on him in China. Lan Lian then went abroad to develop his career and has not returned to China for many years.

The last one is the only daughter, Lan Yun, who was expelled from the family because of Nie Qu.

This family wasn't complicated overall. When the two entered, everyone in the Lan family, except for the one who worked in the entertainment industry abroad, was there. Even Lan Ying, a junior high school girl, looked at them with great curiosity.

Huang Min is the eldest son and his wife, and is also the only female head of the household at present, so she naturally gave them a warm welcome.

Although he is forty years old, he still has the bearing of a soldier, speaks clearly and concisely, and seems easy to get along with.

Grandpa Lan is also over seventy years old, with graying temples, but he still looks very energetic. Like Grandpa Si, he sits upright. Kong Sang thinks that soldiers are probably all like this.

As a junior, one should naturally address people by name; Kong Sang Yuwei directly calls them maternal grandfather, uncle, and aunt.

The Lan family all agreed, and they got along quite well. But Kong Sang felt, perhaps it was just his imagination, that Old Master Lan seemed to pay more attention to Yu Wei, who was indeed of Lan family blood.

"What's your opinion on the situation in Country R?" Old Master Lan asked directly.

Kong Sang chuckled: "Grandpa asked the wrong person. My eldest brother has always handled the gene drug matter. My opinion is not important. I'm starting my own business and don't have time to pay attention to it."

Lan Ying clapped her hands, her innocent and pure face full of envy: "Sister Sang is so amazing. The Nie family is so prominent, yet you still have to start your own business. When I grow up, I want to be as self-reliant as you."

Kong Sang shook her head: "Don't be like me, I was forced into it. You are a respectable young lady of the Lan family, you don't need to live such a tiring life."

Yu Wei said helplessly, "Kong Sang, you're making me feel very awkward."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you were here too. Don't worry, I didn't mean to belittle you, the real heiress. You can't put pressure on me."

Never one to back down with her words, Yu Wei was already used to Kong Sang's way of speaking. She wasn't angry at all when she was rebuked. Instead, she held Kong Sang's hand and played with it, acting like a little shadow, quietly listening to Kong Sang speak.

The Lan family: "..." This real heiress is really a bit fake. Normally, shouldn't the real and fake heiresses be fighting fiercely?

No wonder some people complained in private that the real daughter of the Nie family was a soft and sticky mess.
