Finally, Le Yao let out a burp and shook her head, no longer wanting any more food. Nangong Jue also stopped picking up food, but seeing that there was still some left in the bowl, he took it and ate it himself.
Le Yao couldn't help but widen her eyes. What kind of move was this?
"We can't waste food." Nangong Jue calmly put down his chopsticks. "Are you full?"
Le Yao nodded.
Nangong Jue stood up and said, "Father, Aunt Wen, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, it's getting late, so we'll take our leave now. We promise to be at the banquet on time tomorrow." Then he took Le Yao's hand and walked out.
"Stop! Who told you to leave?" Nangong Rongyao was furious.
"Father, is there anything else? You can't possibly want me to come back and live here, can you?"
"Dream on, get lost!" Nangong Rongyao was immediately enraged again.
"Okay." Nangong Jue nodded with a smile, then pulled Le Yao away.
"That unfilial son!" Just as Nangong Jue stepped out the door, the sound of breaking dishes came from behind.
Le Yao couldn't help but shudder, because she had noticed during the meal that those bowls and plates were quite expensive. Smashing them was equivalent to the price of an electric scooter! Sigh, what a waste!
"What are you angry about?" Wen Jia asked calmly.
Nangong Rongyao was taken aback. Right, what was he angry about? What was there to be angry about?
Le Yao and Nangong Jue had already gotten into the car and left Jiayuan.
Nangong Jue glanced at Le Yao: "I'm sorry you had to suffer."
"It's alright." Le Yao glanced at him, then suddenly gave a sarcastic laugh. "I really didn't expect this. I didn't even get to meet your whole family when we got married, but now that we're divorced, I have the chance to have dinner at your old family home. How interesting..."
Nangong Jue frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure: "You consider them my family?"
"Uh." Le Yao paused, thinking that those people were probably no worse than enemies.
Are you curious about Zhou Nianzhi's identity?
Le Yao was taken aback. Zhou Nianzhi? Who is that?
"Second Aunt".
"Is it out of curiosity? Is there some hidden story behind her identity?" Le Yao nodded hurriedly upon hearing this.
“Zhou Nianzhi is not the eldest daughter of the Zhou family in the capital. The fact that they share the same surname is just a coincidence, just like the situation between you and your adoptive parents.”
Le Yao nodded; such a coincidence was not unusual.
"Zhou Nianzhi's biological parents were both lazy and good-for-nothings. Her father had been imprisoned several times for theft. The last time, he went to steal from someone's factory, but he was chased by a dog, fell into the river, and drowned. Her mother made money by staging accidents. Once, when she was staging an accident with a luxury car, she ran too fast and crashed into the middle of the road. She didn't hit the luxury car, but was instead hit and killed by the car driven by the eldest son of the Zhou family that came from behind..."
Le Yao was dumbfounded. This was too melodramatic!
"Later, the Zhou family adopted Zhou Nianzhi and made her the eldest daughter of the Zhou family." Nangong Jue chuckled. "However, she was already twelve years old at that time, and her thinking had long matured. In other words, her whole personality was set. The Zhou family also realized that no matter how they cultivated her, they could not make her a true lady of a prominent family, so they gave up."
“Zhou Nianzhi had her own ideas. She felt that the Zhou family was not doing enough for her, so she wanted to find her own way out. Instead of thinking about how to improve herself, she wanted to marry into a wealthy family. Thus, Nangong Rongyu, the number one playboy in the capital at that time, came into her sights.”
