“Madam Dongfang, please watch your words. The glass ornaments of my South China Sea Glass Palace have a history of over a hundred years. They cannot be destroyed by your words alone. The annual glass exhibition can bring in five or even ten years' worth of expenses for the South China Sea Glass Palace. This shows how great the influence and love of glass ornaments are among the major continents.”
Nangong Ziyan spoke coldly and walked in side by side with Beiming Haotian.
Seeing the two of them being intimate, Dongfang Yifei stood up from his chair with a gloomy face. Thinking of his failure last night, he felt even more remorseful. He was just one step away from having Nangong Ziyan as his, but now...? Hmph! Nangong Ziyan, since I, Dongfang Yifei, cannot have you, I would rather destroy you than let you and Beiming Haotian fly together.
"Nangong Ziyan, please show some respect when you speak to my mother. You've done shameful things, yet you're so self-righteous. Do you really think that just because the Demon Lord is backing up your South Sea Glazed Glass, our East Sea Continent will be afraid?"
With a gloomy face, Dongfang Yifei glared angrily at Nangong Ziyan. She was now making no attempt to hide her beauty, displaying it completely to Beiming Haotian. This pure and beautiful woman was the woman Dongfang Yifei had always dreamed of, and even if she was a withered flower, Dongfang Yifei would not give up on her.
"Bang!" Nangong Yuze slammed her hand on the table, glaring angrily at Dongfang Yifei. How could her daughter be spoken of like that?
"Dongfang Yifei, please watch your words. My daughter, Nangong Yuze's daughter, is no one to you. Don't look at me like my daughter is cheating on you! People should know their place. My wife has already made things very clear. Does your Nangong family still insist on this?"
Nangong Yuze narrowed his eyes as he looked at Dongfang Yifei. He would never marry his daughter to someone who was so treacherous.
"Uncle Nangong, please don't be angry. I, Dongfang Yifei, would not deign to marry such a withered flower. It will only have a slight impact on my reputation."
Dongfang Yifei glanced at Nangong Ziyan and said contemptuously, "The pretense is already over, there's no need for me to pretend in front of them anymore."
"Fei'er, how dare you! Apologize to your Uncle Nangong right now!"
Nan Man Ning also looked at Dongfang Yifei with a reproachful expression. Why was Fei'er causing trouble at this time? No matter how you tried to persuade him, even if she was a withered flower or a fallen willow, as long as she could help their Dongfang Continent, they could marry her and take her home as a vase! Adding a vase to their Dongfang family would be an easy thing, wouldn't it?
This time, not only Nangong Yuze was furious, but Dongfang Shuo was also enraged.
Nangong Ruichen and Nangong Jingqi could hardly contain themselves any longer.
Sima Jiaorong turned her face away, refusing to look at the family.
Bei Ming Haotian attempted to make a move several times, but Nangong Ziyan stopped him each time.
"What's wrong? Showing your true colors again, tsk tsk!"
Nangong Ziyan smiled without getting angry, "So what if I, Nangong Ziyan, am a fallen woman? It's none of your business, Dongfang Yifei. Don't slap yourself in the face and then blame yourself for being impulsive."
Nangong Ziyan is not a woman who would be shattered by a mere mention of a "fallen flower." On the contrary, she would make Dongfang Yifei feel ashamed.
"Oh dear! Alright, Yan'er, it's all Fei'er's fault. Fei'er spoke carelessly and said the wrong thing. Yan'er, you know that what happened to you last night was a fatal blow to Fei'er. Fei'er has waited for you for sixteen years. You should understand his feelings for you. Look at him, he spoke without thinking. Isn't it because he was too heartbroken?"
Nanmaning quickly tried to defend her son, but to Nangong Ziyan, her words sounded incredibly awkward, as if it were all Nangong Ziyan's fault that Dongfang Yifei said such things.
"Hmph! Madam Dongfang, there's no point in saying more about this. The Dongfang family and the Nangong family are old friends. Saying more will only hurt the harmony between our two families. Madam Dongfang, why don't we talk privately?"
Nangong Ziyan refused to believe that what she was about to say wouldn't shut Nanman Ning up; it was a huge secret...
"Let's talk in private, Yan'er. Is there anything that can't be said in front of everyone?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Nanman Ning's eyes. If Sima Jiaorong and Nangong Yuze didn't agree, then even if they from the Eastern Continent tried to take her away, they couldn't bring Nangong Ziyan back to the East Sea Continent.
"There are many things that can be said in front of everyone, but there are some things that can only be said to Madam Dongfang alone."
Intelligent people don't lose their minds and usually try to persuade others with reason. So Nangong Ziyan wouldn't mind being despicable and threatening Sima Jiaorong once.
"Haha! Alright! Since Yan'er has something to say to me, let's go for a walk!"
Nanman thought to herself that it would be good to talk to her alone. She was more naive and easily fooled than Nangong Ziyan. She refused to believe that she couldn't convince Nangong Ziyan.
A cold smile flashed in Nangong Ziyan's eyes. She would make sure Nangong Ziyan had nothing to laugh about in a moment.
"Yan'er..."
Bei Ming Haotian was a little worried, after all, Nan Manying's cultivation level was not low, so it was better to be careful!
"Haotian, it's alright, I'll be back in a bit. You stay here and talk to your mother and the others."
Nangong Ziyan gave Beiming Haotian a reassuring look and walked out with Nanman Ning.
Neither of them spoke along the way. Luan Ying, who had come to the young master's mansion to find Bei Ming Haotian, happened to see them at the corner. After a moment of contemplation, she quickly followed them.
"Yan'er, we're quite far from Fenghai Residence now, so say whatever you want to say!"
Nanmaning didn't want to leave anymore. No matter what Nangong Ziyan said today, she wouldn't change her mind.
