Chapter 137: Breaking the Cognition



Xiao Nanfang sat in the most dazzling position. There was no extra expression on his wheat-colored face, but his sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

"It can't be that she is really the young lady of the Xiao family." These words were spoken by the boss of the car business. His status here is slightly lower than Xiao Nanfang. His tone of voice was like a joke, which immediately livened up the atmosphere at the dinner table. Some people immediately started to laugh and joke.

"If it's true, General Xiao is so unkind that he didn't even invite us to the wedding."

"Yes, yes, everyone here today is either a comrade-in-arms or a business partner, so we must invite them to a wedding banquet."

"She is the daughter-in-law I personally chose." Although Bai Zhishu is a woman, she has a certain status in the business world. It is already amazing that she can be so popular and make Xiao Nanfang personally say that he likes her.

“I see…”

"Why doesn't Leader Xiao say a few words?"

Everyone was looking at him, but Xiao Nanfang didn't say anything. Instead, he quickly ended the dinner. Some people had done a few deals at the dinner, so they didn't say much and just left.

When they were going back, Xiao Nanfang suddenly called Yan Shuhua and said that he wanted to talk to her about something.

Yan Shuhua saw that Xiao Nanfang actually took the initiative to let him go to the room. He said that he was not nervous, but that would be a lie.

After all, Xiao Nanfang is a leader, so he is very majestic. Even though he is retired now, he still exudes a very domineering aura. When his eyes stared at Yan Shuhua without saying a word, her heart could not help but begin to tremble.

Before she came in, Bai Zhishu had told her to answer as she wanted and not to be embarrassed, but it was not a question of being embarrassed or not, because his aura was too strong, and she would need some time to buffer. Xiao Nanfang was like Xiao Jinchu 20 years later, with the same temperament and body shape, but Xiao Jinchu was her husband, and she could make any jokes at will, but this person was different.

Xiao Nanfang stood with his hands behind his back, his head held high and his chest puffed out. Just his stature and the way he stood were enough to make the atmosphere around him extremely depressing.

Yan Shuhua stood quietly aside without saying a word.

From the first moment she came in, Xiao Nanfang began to observe her constantly, observing her look, her posture and behavior, and even wanted to see what Yan Shuhua was thinking.

Her face showed all kinds of expressions, but the only thing you couldn't find on her face was fear. This was something Xiao Nanfang rarely encountered. On the battlefield, many people were terrified when they heard his name, and in the business world, everyone was also trembling with fear.

Yan Shuhua really didn't feel afraid at all. She just respected him very much. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why would she be afraid?

"What's your name?" Xiao Nanfang finally spoke, and the first sentence she said was expected, so she quickly answered the question.

The tone of her voice was neither humble nor arrogant. Although Xiao Nanfang had seen many heroic women, he rarely saw one who looked weak on the surface but had a tenacious look on her face. This rare temperament made him unable to help but stay on her for more than ten seconds.

"Please sit down." Xiao Nanfang sat on the sofa behind him, and then extended his hand for her to sit wherever she wanted.

Yan Shuhua sat down slowly.

Although she was a country girl, her behavior was not like that of a country girl at all. Instead, she acted like a lady from a wealthy family, as if she had undergone some special training.

Xiao Nanfang had a good first impression of her. He did underestimate her just now.

"Since Zhishu said that you are Jinchu's wife, you should know where Jinchu is now, right?" Yan Shuhua had no way to answer Xiao Nanfang's question.

Yan Shuhua was definitely not a fool, so it was impossible for him to tell him in person that Xiao Yanmin wanted to kill Xiao Jinchu.

After all, she had clearly felt at the dinner table just now that Xiao Nanfang treated his youngest son too well, without any resentment at all. Although she didn't know what kind of relationship Xiao Jinchu had with him, she could feel that this father didn't seem to think highly of Xiao Jinchu.

It broke her cognition! Xiao Jinchu became a leader at a young age, but in his father's eyes, it seemed that all his achievements were worthless. In his heart, Yan Shuhua was actually feeling sorry for Xiao Jinchu.

Out of politeness, Yan Shuhua answered tactfully: "Uncle Xiao, Jinchu is living well now, but it is not convenient for me to tell you where he is."

Although Yan Shuhua said so, Xiao Nanfang was indeed a little unhappy in his heart, but she was right. Even he, his son, was not allowed to know where he was, let alone the so-called daughter-in-law.

"Is Jinchu's leg healed?" Xiao Nanfang asked again, and Yan Shuhua replied, "To reply to Leader Xiao, his leg is almost healed now."

"Since it's almost healed, why don't he come, but you instead?" Xiao Nanfang's aura was far greater than Yan Shuhua's, causing the latter to not dare to speak loudly and casually, and could only answer weakly.

"Jinchu is not convenient to travel long distances." Yan Shuhua's answer suddenly moved Xiao Nanfang, and this time he finally focused on her identity.

"Are you Yan Zhenhua's daughter?" Xiao Nanfang finally slowed down his tone. Yan Shuhua said calmly, "Yes."

Xiao Nanfang frowned: "But I remember that Yan Zhenhua only has one daughter."

"When my father went to the countryside to work, he met my mother in the village. Later, when my mother became pregnant with me, my father went to the county, but he met the mayor's daughter unexpectedly. Then they fell in love and he abandoned my mother." Yan Shuhua's words have completely explained all of Yan Zhenhua's evil deeds.

"Abandoned?" Xiao Nanfang had received a very traditional education, and he also insisted that a man should not abandon a woman after having fun with her. He never knew that Yan Zhenhua had such a romantic past.

No wonder Yan Qingxue can dress so ostentatiously, but Yan Shuhua dresses ordinary. The two of them don’t look like sisters at all. There is indeed a huge difference between them. I didn’t expect it was because of this.

"yes."
