Nanxing's hands were trembling slightly. Even in their ordinary study, their memories were everywhere.
I didn't care before, but now it's all vivid in my mind.
Nanxing smiled and eventually left the study.
At this moment, Xie Congjing had already prepared the meal.
They rushed over from their workplaces, spending a lot of time on the road, and then chatted for a long time in the study, so it was already lunchtime.
Seeing Nanxing come out, Xie Congjing quickly called to her, "Come and eat quickly."
Nanxing smiled and nodded, just as she was about to go over, the doorbell rang.
So Nanxing said, "Mom, I'll go open the door first."
Soon, Nanxing opened the door, and it was Yang Fan.
Yang Fan smiled politely: "Hello, Miss Nanxing."
Nanxing: "Brother Yang, please come in."
At this moment, Duan Ze also helped Xie Congjing bring the dishes out of the kitchen: "You came pretty quickly."
Xie Congjing smiled and said, "You've come at the perfect time, right around lunchtime. Please eat, and Auntie will get you some bowls and chopsticks."
Nanxing: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
Xie Congjing: "There's nothing hard about it, please sit down."
So the three of them sat down at the dining table.
Yang Fan was eager to find out what was going on, but Duan Ze said, "No rush, let's eat first."
The meal was plentiful, consisting of four dishes and a soup prepared by Xie Congjing.
Soon, Xie Congjing came out, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "You guys eat, Auntie has already eaten, so I won't eat with you. I have an appointment to go shopping, so Auntie will go first."
Nanxing: "Mom, let's eat first before we go."
Duan Ze also spoke up: "Auntie, let's eat first and then go, there's no rush."
Seeing this, Yang Fan smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie, just sit and eat with us. How could you not eat the food you made?"
Xie Congjing waved her hand: "Auntie has really eaten. She ate a big bowl of noodles. She can't eat anymore. You guys eat, Auntie won't bother you."
As she spoke, Xie Congjing walked out.
Nanxing stood up and followed Xie Congjing to the door.
"Mom, have you really eaten?"
Nanxing suspected that her mother had made room for them to talk.
Xie Congjing: "Mom didn't see you. Mom really did cook noodles and eat them. I just washed the dishes before you came back. Mom did make an appointment to go shopping with Duan Ye's mother. I'm going upstairs to find her now. You should go back quickly."
Seeing that Xie Congjing wasn't joking, Nanxing felt relieved: "Then I'll transfer you some money, buy whatever you want."
Xie Congjing smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back quickly."
So Nanxing closed the door and went back inside.
Xie Congjing also went to Duan Ye's house.
Yang Fan and Duan Ze were waiting for Nan Xing.
Nanxing quickly walked over and sat down: "Let's eat and chat at the same time."
Duan Ze nodded: "Alright, let's eat."
So, while eating, Duan Ze and Nan Xing told Yang Fan the whole story.
Yang Fan: "Then Nanxing, send me all those photos later, and I'll handle this."
Upon hearing this, Nanxing hesitated and looked at Duan Ze.
Until Duan Ze smiled and nodded.
Nanxing lowered his head and said, "Okay."
Duan Ze: "You don't need to worry. Your brother Yang is the captain of the criminal investigation team. He can handle this little thing."
He could find the source of the photo, but he needed a legitimate reason for doing so.
Yang Fan is the best choice; this is his job.
Yang Fan could also see Nanxing's concerns. Young girls are all like that; even if it's fake, they'll still be scared.
So Yang Fan said, "Don't worry, I will submit the photos to the technical appraisal department as soon as possible, and these photos will not be leaked. You can go to work with peace of mind."
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Nan Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Duan, Brother Yang, thank you so much. I really don't know what I would have done without you."
Nanxing spoke sincerely; if Duan Ze didn't help her, she would feel helpless.
Duan Ze: "We're all friends, let's skip the formalities and eat."
So, the meal went quite well.
After the meal.
Nanxing went to clear the dishes, while Duan Ze and Yang Fan discussed in the living room how to handle the matter.
Duan Ze: "I think this matter is inextricably linked to the Jiang family's banquet. Yang Fan, are you sure you want to come with me tomorrow night?"
Yang Fan knew a little about these prominent families in Kyoto. The Luo family was wealthy and powerful, even having connections with international banks, and he had also heard of the Jiang family to some extent.
So Yang Fan said, "Go ahead, why not? Even though I'm quite poor and can't compare to the upper class, we can't be afraid."
"Besides, if there is real evidence that they did it, it could give us an excuse to search the Jiang family's house."
Duan Ze raised an eyebrow, understanding.
He didn't ask about what happened next, and even if he did, Yang Fan wouldn't tell him. Everyone knew what was going on.
Yang Fan glanced into the kitchen: "This little Nanxing is even more beautiful than when she was little. Aren't your two families prominent families? Duan Ye is married, but you're not, are you? Shouldn't you hurry up? She's a big star!"
Duan Ze couldn't help but glare at him: "I have a girlfriend."
Yang Fan was taken aback and shocked: "Huh? Who is it? A friend of many years, you kept it from me?"
Thinking of Shen Niannian, Duan Ze's eyes lit up with a smile. He said, "Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll introduce her to you. But my wife is timid, so please don't scare her."
Yang Fan was immediately bombarded with a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and felt mentally devastated.
"That's not fair! How come even you, a lifelong bachelor, have a girlfriend?"
Yang Fan, burning with gossip, exclaimed, "Quick, tell me, which family's daughter is she? Is she pretty? Judging from your lustful look, could it be that good things are about to happen?"
Duan Ze: "Get out of here, why are you acting like a gossipy old lady from the village entrance?"
Just then, Nanxing walked over.
Yang Fan said, "Nanxing, did you know that Duan Ze has a girlfriend? That guy, he's always keeping things to himself. Even something this big, he didn't say a word."
Upon hearing this, Nanxing was also surprised for a moment, then said, "Huh? I didn't know."
Duan Ze: "Alright, enough with the gossip. I'm leaving."
Duan Ze pulled Yang Fan to his feet.
Yang Fan: "You've really kept it well hidden."
Even as he reached the door, Yang Fan still couldn't understand how Duan Ze, that sharp-tongued guy, could have a girlfriend. Why didn't he?
Nanxing escorted them to the door.
"Brother Duan, Brother Yang, take care."
Duan Ze: "Remember what I told you, don't worry about anything, you don't need to go to the banquet, just focus on your work."
Nanxing nodded: "Okay, I'll remember."
Duan Ze and Yang Fan bickered and walked away. Nan Xing closed the door and then felt completely exhausted.
These days, she has made too many fatal mistakes because of Duan Ye.
If this continues, not only will Duan Ye hate her, but she herself will hate herself too, right?
