Su Xiaoxiao never expected Nangong Yi to say such a thing in front of her in-laws. Her face turned red instantly, and she looked away in embarrassment.
"Ahem! Yi'er, you should go inside quickly. I'll explain to your grandfather, so you don't need to worry."
Nangong Xuyang had heard that his son was clingy to his daughter-in-law, but he was quite surprised to hear his son say such mushy things.
He opened the car door and gestured for Zhong Yajing to get in first, but she hesitated by the door.
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
Su Xiaoxiao could tell from the living room that Zhong Yajing had something to say, but in the end she said she had to go back.
At that moment, as she stood by the car door without immediately getting in, Su Xiaoxiao pulled away from Nangong Yi's hand and took the initiative to step forward.
"Little Xiao, do you know about what happened to Yi Yi?"
Zhong Yajing finally asked the question. Seeing Su Xiaoxiao nod, she felt a little more confident.
“Yi Yi acted somewhat without thinking, but she has learned her lesson. I hope you can forgive her this time. Yi’er’s punishment was also a bit too harsh.”
What punishment did you give?
When Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at Nangong Yi, Zhong Yajing was slightly taken aback.
She was completely unaware!
"Mom, I've already taken disciplinary action regarding Yi Yi's matter. Being an employee of the Nangong Group doesn't mean you're immune to punishment just because you have a family relationship with her."
Nangong Yi's tone was forceful, but his expression softened immediately when Su Xiaoxiao turned around to look at him.
He walked behind his wife, gently pulled her into his arms, and then turned his gaze back to Zhong Yajing, his expression becoming even more serious than before.
“Mom, Xiaoxiao is neither a senior executive of the conglomerate nor a department head. She is just a victim in this matter and has no knowledge of the treatment of the employees. I hope you will not make things difficult for her.”
"You really are..."
Nangong Xuyang hadn't expected Zhong Yajing to have this idea. When he walked up to his wife with a furrowed brow, he didn't know what to say to her.
He stood in front of her, blocking her view with his body, before saying to Su Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, this has nothing to do with you, you don't need to worry about it. Yi'er, it's getting cold, quickly take Xiaoxiao back inside."
"Dad, please be careful on the road."
Regardless of Su Xiaoxiao's wishes, Nangong Yi forcefully led her into the house, and the triumphant smile on his lips became clear.
He deliberately wanted to show off his affection in front of his parents, to create the illusion that "as long as you plead with Su Xiaoxiao, you won't do anything wrong."
"What kind of punishment did you give Guan Yiyi?"
Su Xiaoxiao kept looking back as she entered the house, and only asked about the matter seriously after her in-laws' car left the house.
Nangong Yi gently tapped his nose, the doting and helpless look in his eyes becoming even clearer, but he still didn't give an answer.
"Honey, let's go back to our room and rest."
"You didn't actually send someone to a place like that, did you?"
Worry instantly surfaced in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes. She was startled when she thought of Zhong Yajing's worried expression when she left.
Nangong Yi raised an eyebrow, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head to touch her forehead, and asked with displeasure, "Does your husband seem like such a heartless person?"
"Of course...it doesn't look like it!"
