Chapter 22: Going Crazy, Day 22: Nangong Lie’s Palace Fight (Two Updates Combined into One…
Tan Mo never imagined that one day Nangong Lie would come to a dinner party in a nanny uniform. What's the difference between this and "Qiu Ya is getting married, and you're singing and dancing here in mourning clothes"?
Even when Tan Mo didn't plan to dress up formally at first, she still had to wear a decent little evening dress.
In order not to miss any embarrassing moments of Nangong Lie, after receiving the news, Tan Mo and Lu Xingjian hurried back from the garden and happened to run into Nangong Lie in the small hall.
There were not many people in the small hall, and Tan Mo almost missed Nangong Lie, because the nanny uniform Nangong Lie was wearing was exactly the same as the photo Tan Mo sent him, nude in color, blending in with the dazzling lights.
In other words, there is no difference between Nangong Lie and streaking.
But looking at the texture of the clothes, they are better than the ones that Tan Mo wears for 58 yuan.
Despite this, Tan Mo looked at it for a while with a troubled expression: "This, this, this... this is not appropriate."
"What's inappropriate?" Nangong Lie asked back confidently.
Lu Xingjian: "My master means that you are being disrespectful and embarrassing yourself. Do you understand now?"
Nangong Lie: ...
Tan Mo covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "You are too straightforward."
Lu Xingjian: "If he's not straight, he won't understand you scolding him."
Nangong Lie: "...That's enough."
There was a hint of anger in his tone, but he spoke with inexplicable confidence: "Tan Mo, don't be too happy too soon. You won't even have time to cry later."
Tan Mo: He’s starting to talk big again. How can he talk big even when he’s wearing a nanny uniform?
Nangong Lie glared at the evasive Qin Ming and said calmly, "You boast of your elaborate scheme, pretending to be Qin Ming chatting with me to trick me into believing something. Do you think I wouldn't know? Even if you've planned everything, there's always a loophole."
Qin Ming trembled, "No, Master, I didn't mean to betray you..."
Tan Mo: He actually guessed it right, but I don’t think I figured out the trick.
Tan Mo became serious, "How did you know?"
Nangong Lie smiled evilly, "Your biggest flaw was that you later asked me for a raise. Qin Ming is honest and timid. He always takes whatever I give him and never asks for more."
Qin Ming: ...I'll knock your dad!
Tan Mo: ...
Seeing that Tan Mo was so impressed by what he said, Nangong Lie felt very proud, as if he was the only smart student in the class who had solved the last math problem correctly, and his solution was actually correct.
"Originally I wanted to play along and just send you a photo of an ordinary suit and dress, and then put on my most gorgeous battle robe." Nangong Lie analyzed carefully.
Tan Mo felt that Nangong Lie must have imagined himself as the most powerful detective at this moment. She seemed to hear the cool BGM of a detective.
"But then I thought, a scheming person like you, do you just want me to take it lightly and wear an ordinary dress?"
Tan Mo: Yes, that’s what I think ^_^
"Of course not! This is a trick within a trick. On the surface, you want me to let my guard down, but in reality, you just want to put on a nanny uniform and say in front of everyone that I won't tolerate you, a real daughter who just came back from the countryside, and I won't give you good food and clothes, and I will abuse you."
Tan Mo: If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known I was so smart, I could actually come up with a plan within a plan (^_^*)
Nangong Lie pointed at Tan Mo's nose and cursed: "I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, would have such sinister intentions. It would have been a shame if I hadn't used my smart brain to drag me into the Mariana Trench!"
Tan Mo: ...I'm going to tell your dad he has ulterior motives! (middle finger)
After Nangong Lie's analysis, Qin Ming suddenly realized, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Tan Mo with admiration.
Looking at Tan Mo's expression, Lu Xingjian knew that Nangong Lie's analysis was worse than his previous one. Then, looking at Qin Ming who was really being led into a ditch, Lu Xingjian's eyes were dead: what a bunch of idiots.
The three people on the opposite side were silent for a moment, and Nangong Lie felt relieved: Finally, for once, he could beat Tan Mo!
Nangong Lie was beaming and asked Tan Mo, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Tan Mo: "Really? How much did you pay for this nanny uniform you're wearing?"
Nangong Lie: “38.9.”
Tan Mo: Damn! I knew it was too expensive! I’m really pissed now!
Seeing that more and more people gathered around, most of them were pointing fingers at Nangong Lie, and sometimes their eyes would drift to Tan Mo, causing her to suffer greatly.
Tan Mo: It’s so embarrassing, so embarrassing. I don’t want to have anything to do with the streaker.
She didn't want to stand there any longer and be watched. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Qin Ming ask, "I have another question."
"Master Nangong, Miss Tan is not wearing a nanny uniform now. Doesn't this mean that your inference is wrong? And since you inferred that Miss Tan wore a nanny uniform to frame you, you should expose it. But why did you wear a nanny uniform?"
"Wow!" Tan Mo gave a thumbs up. "Not bad, Qin Ming. You listen carefully in class and think."
Qin Ming is shy.
Nangong Lie caught a glimpse of a large number of people rushing towards this side, and his plan was about to succeed.
"Because..." Nangong Lie suddenly walked towards Tan Mo and held her hand. When Tan Mo subconsciously pulled her hand back, Nangong Lie pushed her using her hand, and Nangong Lie was pushed to the ground.
"Tan Mo, I truly treat you as my sister and want to treat you well. I never thought you would treat me like this, trying to embarrass me in front of everyone!"
Tan Mo: ...
Tan Mo was incoherent, pointing her finger back and forth between her and Nangong Lie, "Lu... Lu Xingjian, what is he trying to do? A family feud?"
Lu Xingjian hadn't expected Nangong Lie to do this. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "It seems so. From the looks of it, he wants to frame you. He wants you to do what he imagined he would do."
Tan Mo sneered: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Nangong Lie, you have grown up!"
"If a tiger doesn't show its power, you think I'm a sick cat." As he said this, Nangong Lie lay a little flatter on the ground.
"What are you doing? Why are the two siblings arguing?"
"And Ali, why are you dressed like this for the dinner?"
"There are so many girls here. It would be so ugly if you were naked!"
"That's right. I was embarrassed to look at it at first, but it also reminded me that I will never buy clothes of this color again."
"Excuse me, I want to ask, is your Nangong family going to go bankrupt? I just bought your company's stock, and I'm panicking!"
"I came earlier than you. It seems Ali was framed." One of the elderly people whispered softly, "It seems that a real rich girl from the countryside asked Ali to dress like this."
"Aunt, you really have a good eye for talent." Nangong Lie weakly got up from the ground. "This is my sister's first time attending such an extravagant banquet. She said she felt uncomfortable in a dress that was too gorgeous. She wanted to wear something different to cheer everyone up, but she didn't dare to wear outlandish clothes alone."
"As an older brother, I wanted my sister, who had just returned home, to be happy and feel the warmth of a big family, so I said I would stay with her."
"I didn't expect that when I arrived at the scene, I was the only one wearing a nanny uniform, while my sister was wearing a beautiful evening gown."
"I just saw her and wanted to ask what was going on." Nangong Lie rubbed his injured wrist pretentiously, "Before we could even talk for a few words, she suddenly got angry and pushed me to the ground."
"Sister, you didn't mean it, did you?" He looked at Tan Mo sadly, and in a place where only the two of them could see, his eyes revealed provocation.
Tan Mo has dead eyes.
"Please stop talking about my sister, or she'll be even more upset when she gets home. Please understand my sister's feelings. After all, she comes from a small place with limited living conditions. Seeing how rich her family is will definitely cause her psychological problems. I believe she didn't mean it."
"Right, sister?"
"He is just my brother. My brother said that purple is very charming." After humming softly, Tan Mo walked in front of Nangong Lie and slapped him with a smile.
Nangong Lie staggered back a few steps. Now he was the one who couldn't believe it.
In front of so many people, she actually dared... Nangong Lie pointed at Tan Mo.
Everyone exclaimed!
Tan Mo covered her mouth and pretended to cry: "Brother, of course I hit you on purpose, to embarrass you. Because I was very angry. When I found out that you got Sister Sang Yu pregnant and didn't want to bear the consequences, so you asked her to have an abortion, I wanted to hit you and embarrass you."
"Well, do you also understand the helplessness and hardship of Sister Sangyu?"
Everyone exclaimed again!
Nangong Lie: "! You're talking nonsense, that's not true."
Lu Xingjian stepped forward, his eyes slightly red and gleaming with pain. He grabbed Nangong Lie by the collar and said angrily, "You still don't dare to admit the shameless things you did to my sister?"
"Before I was diagnosed with pregnancy, you asked me to call you brother-in-law and told me you would treat my sister well. Now you deny it outright? You dare not take responsibility for what you did? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"My sister is so infatuated with you and told us not to blame you too much. I really should let her see your ugly face now."
"You are so malicious and you're trying to turn the blame on Miss Tan. If it weren't for Miss Tan's help, I really don't know where to go to seek justice! Miss Tan is the only clean person in your Nangong family who has always been helping my sister."
"You're still denying it. You just think we're too poor and powerless to be your Nangong family, and that we're easy to manipulate. But let me tell you, even a scrap ship has three pounds of iron, and we're not that easy to bully."
"Today, I will tear off your hypocritical mask in front of everyone, so that everyone can see your dirty heart!"
After saying that, Lu Xingjian didn't give Nangong Lie any chance to react and pushed him heavily to the ground.
"My sister, you have made a mistake in choosing a man like this!"
Every word Lu Xingjian spoke was full of tears, and every sentence was like a professional Shakespearean drama performance, which filled the audience with silence. If you listened carefully, you could hear the sobbing of many middle-aged and elderly women.
The logic was clear and the whole text flowed smoothly and coherently, making Nangong Lie a little dazed. He even began to doubt whether he had done such a beastly thing.
It was these few seconds of stunned silence that made everyone present believe the story a little more.
"What a beast! He's capable of doing such a thing, forcing a girl to have an abortion!"
"The Nangong family actually has such a lowly and dirty business."
"I was saying that Nangong Lie's statement about wearing a nanny uniform because he was deceived by a real daughter was not quite right."
"Are you so far-sighted?"
"Of course, I'm also an old green tea, I understand him."
"Oh, what a sin! The Nangong family is going too far."
"They're spreading rumors. It's not true!" Nangong Lie quickly stood up and denied it. "I don't even know Sang Yu!"
Lu Xingjian: "You're lying again. You must know Sangmao."
He spoke with such conviction that Nangong Lie began to doubt his life.
"Don't try to quibble. You should be brave enough to take responsibility for what you have done." The old lady who had been called "Auntie" wiped away two tears. "After all, it's a child, a life. You should discuss with your grandfather when to get married so that we can come to the wedding."
"How can I marry her when things are like this? It's obvious that Nangong Lie has a terrible character."
"Anyway, our family won't dare to do business with the Nangong family in the future."
"How disgusting! Not only does this man have low moral standards, he's also cruel. Even after all this, he's still putting the blame on the real daughter."
"If a real daughter didn't drive him away, you can even call him Buddha."
"That's right, if you want me to, I'll kick him out. He's taking over the magpie's house and throwing dirty water on it."
Only Tan Mo, who knew the truth, looked at Lu Xingjian: …! Oh my god.
"Tan Mo!" Seeing this situation, Nangong Lie wanted to bite her to death.
Tan Mo wiped her tears and said, "What's wrong, brother?"
She winked where only Nangong Lie could see, "You're shooting yourself in the foot. Does it hurt?"
"Let's go. I'm really hungry." Lu Xingjian stretched out his hand.
"Goodbye, brother." Tan Mo pulled over and walked inside with Lu Xingjian side by side. When passing by other wealthy families, she pretended to comfort Lu Xingjian.
Before I even reached the hall, I heard a familiar voice roaring like a lion: "Nangong Lie, how dare you cheat on me!"
Tan Mo turned around and saw that it was Xu Xiaonian.
She glanced again at the numbers that were rising suddenly on the system screen.
Tan Mo was secretly delighted: This can’t be blamed on her, Amen.
*
"Have this. If you've eaten too much sweet food, try something salty to rinse your mouth." Tan Mo pushed a bag of biscuits to Lu Xingjian. She had only found a few biscuits after searching the entire banquet.
The dinner mainly consisted of drinks, desserts and fruits, and there was no staple food to fill the stomach.
Lu Xingjian did not refuse, and the two sat on the chairs and chatted.
Tan Mo held her face in her hands and said admiringly, "It was really hard to tell the authenticity of your performance just now. If I didn't know you, I would have thought you were performing a play."
Tan Mo really likes and admires people who can keep up with her rhythm, keep the words from falling on the ground, and fill in the details of the story in every aspect.
"How can you come up with so many lines in such a short time?"
Lu Xingjian: "I've watched too many sad dramas with my mom."
"Two drama queens." After changing into a normal suit, Nangong Lie said disdainfully while standing not far away.
"How dare you talk about others?" Some people around were angry.
Along the way, Nangong Lie suffered so much contempt that his reputation was completely ruined in the circle.
He had to hold it in, and he secretly clenched his fists.
A thin white figure passed by his eyes. Nangong Lie stepped forward and wanted to hold her hand, "Xiao Nian."
Xu Xiaonian threw him away and said, "Mr. Nangong, please respect yourself. If you harass me again, I will call the police."
She glared at him with red eyes, then walked towards Tan Mo and the others without looking back.
Nangong Lie chased after her, "Xiao Nian, listen to me, I don't have any women outside. They are making up rumors about me out of nothing. You must believe me."
After hearing this, Tan Mo sneered, "When you were spreading rumors about me, why didn't you just say you were making trouble out of nothing? You really have a double standard."
And from a certain perspective, she was not spreading rumors, because most of the plot can be found in "The Priceless Little Wife", which means that Nangong Lie and Xu Xiaonian will perform in the future.
Tan Mo comforted Xu Xiaonian, "Okay, stop crying. Have a glass of sweet wine to cheer yourself up."
"Isn't that a rumor? Not only did you spread rumors about me, you also spread rumors about a woman named Sang Yu. It's really disgusting. I don't even know her."
Tan Mo gave him a look of disdain, "I've already told you that you must know mulberry bladders, but you still don't believe it."
She pulled up a photo from her phone and said, "Look."
In the photo held high up, there was a fat Samoyed named Sang Biao. He stuck out his tongue and grinned foolishly at Nangong Lie.
Nangong Lie laughed angrily, "Tan Mo, I didn't expect you to be so cruel and crazy as to spread rumors about a male dog!"
"So I plan to give him two more cans as compensation tomorrow."
Lu Xingjian listened and smiled with the corners of his mouth rising.
Nangong Lie: ...so angry he was about to explode! But he had to endure it!
He stood there, mentally prepared himself, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.
More than ten minutes later, he took two glasses of champagne from the bartender's tray and handed one to Tan Mo.
He said calmly, "Let's shake hands and make peace. Since you are the real daughter of the Nangong family, you are also my sister. Brother and sister have been quarreling and making others gossip."
Tan Mo tilted her head and thought for a moment: "You are a boss with a crazy temper. You actually asked for peace. You are either a traitor or a thief. I refuse."
Nangong Lie: ...endure
"Are you afraid I'll poison you?" Nangong Lie tasted both cups and said, "Look, nothing's wrong."
Tan Mo frowned even more tightly and said with disgust, "You've already drunk it, and you still want me to drink it? Isn't that disgusting?"
Nangong Lie: ...be patient
"Then take whatever you want."
Tan Mo said innocently: "Who knows if you poisoned them all."
Nangong Lie: ...I can’t bear it anymore. He finally realized how torturous it was to ask Tan Mo to pour water for him before.
The veins at the corners of his eyes suddenly bulged, and he suddenly realized that Tan Mo had no intention of reconciling with him. His eyes darkened a bit, and he walked to an empty seat nearby and sat down, keeping some distance from Tan Mo and the others.
Tan Mo ignored him and continued to comfort Xu Xiaonian while chatting and laughing with Lu Xingjian. Sometimes Xu Xiaonian would also be amused by her.
"Okay, stop crying for a man. He's not worth it," Tan Mo said. "You should shed more tears for yourself. After all, he's a domineering boss, and you're just an exploited employee."
Xu Xiaonian: "Now that you say that, I want to cry even more."
Tan Mo: "It's okay to cry for yourself, I won't try to persuade you."
Xu Xiaonian wiped away her tears. "Xiaomo, Xiaolu, have you ever been in a lot of relationships? How come you are so insightful?"
"I..." Tan Mo looked away awkwardly, but accidentally met Lu Xingjian's gaze. Both of them saw the awkward moment of being single from birth in each other's eyes, and then they glanced away tacitly without saying a word.
Tan Mo happened to glance outside and saw a bartender passing by. She took three glasses of wine, one for each of them.
Just as he was about to drink, Lu Xingjian leaned over and asked, "What is Nangong Lie doing now? Why is he staring at me?"
Xu Xiaonian snorted angrily, "Let him see what he wants. I won't forgive him even if he sees."
Tan Mo's mind was full of strange thoughts. "Is he planning to do something secretly again?"
The system that hadn't come up for a long time asked: "Host, did you make money today?"
Tan Mo glanced at the balance. It turned out that ordinary people's gossip was worthless. She had been very aggressive today and her balance had only increased by about 1 million. The bulk of it came from Xu Xiaonian who had heard that Nangong Lie was cheating on her.
Today was a bit miserable. She was framed by Nangong Lie using such low-level palace fighting tactics. Although she fought back on the spot, it was still not enough to make her feel better.
She thought for a moment and said to Xu Xiaonian, "Would you like to change clothes?"
Nangong Lie's eyes were fixed on the glass of wine in Tan Mo's hand. As it got closer and closer to Tan Mo's lips, Nangong Lie's heart rose. Seeing Tan Mo put it down again, his heart fell to the ground in annoyance.
The intensity is like a roller coaster.
Then he saw Tan Mo and Xu Xiaonian leave, but Lu Xingjian was still sitting there.
What the hell are they doing, Nangong Lie thought anxiously.
Soon, he knew the answer.
The bright lights were replaced by ambiguous shadows, and the music was soft and graceful, with men and women dancing in the shadows. This was the second half of the dinner, and the organizers had set aside a space for everyone to dance together to dispel the boredom and fatigue of the dinner.
Nangong Lie has been searching for Tan Mo, and he is also keeping an eye on Xu Xiaonian.
Ever since Tan Mo became his assistant and helped mediate his relationship with Xu Xiaonian, he hadn't completely lost any ground. For example, when they were arguing, it was better for everyone to let them both calm down for a while instead of making unnecessary explanations.
Even now, he knew Xu Xiaonian was angry, but he still restrained himself from looking for Xu Xiaonian.
Besides, there is something more important tonight.
When he turned his gaze to Xu Xiaonian again for the nth time, this time, he opened his eyes wide.
Unexpectedly, when she went out, she changed her neutral shirt and suit pants outfit into a gorgeous dress, revealing a large area of skin on her chest, and her figure was graceful and charming.
She had never dressed so sexy and beautifully when she was with him. But Xu Xiaonian ignored him, and Nangong Lie felt jealous.
But soon, when he saw a man walk up to Xu Xiaonian and invite her to dance, Nangong Lie narrowed his eyes.
The most important thing is that Xu Xiaonian actually agreed. Nangong Lie's cold eyes revealed danger.
He warned himself to stay calm. He and Xu Xiaonian were still arguing. It was her freedom to dance with other men. If he loved her, he had to accept everything about her.
But who could tell her why that man's hand could touch her slender waist!
He even leaned close to Xu Xiaonian's ear.
I don’t know what he said, but it made Xu Xiaonian’s cheeks blush, and the flowers trembled, making her even more beautiful.
Who can stand this?
If you keep enduring, Xu Xiaonian will fall in love with someone else.
Nangong Lie's emotions were fluctuating greatly. He drank the wine in his glass and walked towards the dance floor. However, there were many people in front of him. They were dancing waltz and spinning a few times, and Xu Xiaonian and the man ran away to nowhere.
Just as he was about to get angry, a tall curly-haired woman blocked his way and insisted on dancing with Nangong Lie.
"Let me go. I don't want to dance with you."
But the man opposite was incredibly strong and mute, so Nangong Lie couldn't get rid of him at all. He could only dance perfunctorily with the woman in front of him while looking for Xu Xiaonian.
He saw it.
"Let me go, I want to dance with my girlfriend."
"If you don't let go, it will be too late."
They were about to spin in a circle together again.
"Don't be impatient," the woman said.
After she finished speaking, Nangong Lie felt a force on his waist and was pushed to the side of Xu Xiaonian. He vaguely felt that the woman's voice was very rough.
But it didn’t matter. He was so excited, but unfortunately, before he could get even halfway excited, Xu Xiaonian was pushed away.
The person dancing with Nangong Lie was Xu Xiaonian's male partner.
Nangong Lie:...What the hell?
Nangong Lie was really anxious and wanted to leave.
Just a pull of the hand, Nangong Lie seemed to hear the devil's whisper: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, the fun has just begun."
"Tan Mo?!"
"You just noticed me now?" Tan Mo stomped her foot hard.
"Ah!" Nangong Lie was silent for a few seconds, then screamed. He felt that he had never felt such pain in his life, as if a knife was cutting his flesh, making him sweat profusely and his whole body convulse.
He bent over in pain, glanced down at Tan Mo's shoes covered with rivets, and his eyes trembled.
"You just stepped on me with this?" He couldn't believe it and trembled with pain.
"My breakdancing shoes, aren't they beautiful?" Tan Mo was wearing men's clothing, which made it easier for her to put them to good use. "I'm a man who takes action, never babbles. You felt good when you framed me before, didn't you? Now it's my turn."
"I don't want to play anymore." Nangong Lie said crying.
Tan Mo held him back, "No, you want to play."
"Oh, by the way, Xu Xiaonian seems very happy dancing with another man. You are done, Nangong Lie."
Tan Mo looked at the numbers on the system screen that were rising like a rocket, and she laughed out loud. However, this laughter sounded like the tremor of a devil in Nangong Lie's ears.
After more than an hour, Tan Mo was tired of dancing, and the balance finally reached 20 million, so she abandoned Nangong Lie, who was as soft and weak as a tattered rag doll.
She casually picked up the wine from the bartender, drank it all, and asked Lu Xingjian to go home with her.
Nangong Lie, lying lifeless on the ground, tried his best to crawl towards the empty wine glass. He seemed to be unable to feel the existence of his feet.
"I might have to have my limb amputated... It hurts so much, wuwuwu..." His bright eyes were swollen as he stared at the wine glass. "In three days, when grandpa comes back, Tan Mo, you're dead."
