Duan Ye really couldn't stand it anymore; even in this relatively spacious area, he felt suffocated.
"Luo An, you stay with the teacher to do the statistics, I'm going out for some fresh air."
Luo An nodded: "Then, Brother Duan, don't go too far."
Duan Ye nodded and stood up, and Bai Tang quickly made way for him.
Just as he was about to leave the hall, he heard the host's excited voice: "Henglun Group! Donating 50 million!!!"
"Wow—!!!" The whole audience erupted in cheers.
Even Nanxing, who was standing on the stage, was shocked.
People around whispered among themselves, discussing how generous Henglun was. Even in high society, very few people would casually give away 50 million; no one was that naive.
Duan Ye turned his head, glanced at the row in front of him with a complicated expression, and finally walked out.
At this time, General Xie also received the news, and so did Cheng Suisui.
Cheng Suisui whispered in Luo Qingyuan's ear, "President Luo, now that Henglun has made an offer, if you're tired, you can go home now."
Luo Qingyuan had no intention of staying any longer, so she stood up and left from the side.
The celebrity interaction segment had ended, and Nanxing quietly followed along while everyone was distracted.
As soon as General Xie turned his head, he saw Nanxing's departing figure, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Go and bring Miss Nan back. She really has no sense of propriety at all."
The bodyguard replied, "Yes."
As soon as Luo Qingyuan went out, the evening breeze swept towards her. Although it was already summer, the evening wind was still cool, and Cheng Suisui put a coat on her.
At this moment, a waiter came over: "Mr. Luo, the night view of the Century Hotel is quite nice. Mr. Xie instructed us to take good care of you. How about I take you to a place with a good view, so you can get some fresh air and sober up?"
Luo Qingyuan instinctively wanted to refuse, but Cheng Suisui nodded first: "Lead the way."
Luo Qingyuan looked over, and Cheng Suisui explained in a low voice, "President Luo, this is, after all, a banquet hosted by the Xie family. Although Mr. Xie said you can arrange the itinerary as you like, please give them some face. Take a look at the style of the Century Hotel. If you like it, there might be an opportunity for cooperation."
Luo Qingyuan, feeling a headache coming on from Cheng Suisui's words, said, "Alright, let's go."
At this moment, Nanxing also hurriedly caught up.
Just as she was about to walk behind Luo Qingyuan, she was stopped by a bodyguard: "Miss Nan, please go back."
Nanxing's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "I just came out to sober up..."
Hearing the commotion behind her, Luo Qingyuan turned around and met Nan Xing's gaze.
Nanxing, though stopped, was still restless: "Why did you come back? You abandoned him for so long, and today you deliberately chose this place, just for a chance encounter, right?"
"Mr. Luo, don't you think your behavior is too despicable?"
The bodyguards and waiters were terrified by Nan Xing's bold words, while Cheng Suisui was furious: "Nan Xing! Have you forgotten who you are?"
Just as the bodyguards were about to drag Nanxing away, Luo Qingyuan spoke up: "Let her talk."
So the bodyguard awkwardly stepped aside.
Nanxing rushed to Luo Qingyuan like a gust of wind: "As long as you don't come back, all of our lives can return to normal. President Luo, yes, you are my boss, and I shouldn't criticize you, but at least give people the right to speak the truth, right?"
"You act arbitrarily, leaving whenever you want, and then staying away for five years, only to return whenever you want. Have you ever considered Duan Ye? You're far too selfish!"
Everyone present was on tenterhooks, including Cheng Suisui.
But Luo Qingyuan just sneered, and then, to everyone's surprise, she suddenly reached out and slapped Nan Xing hard across the face.
Before Nanxing could react, Luo Qingyuan grabbed her chin with one hand, forcing her to look at her. Luo Qingyuan's voice was as cold as ever: "By what right do you teach me how to do things? Hmm?"
"Nanxing, do you think I'm being too lenient, allowing you to be so insolent in front of me time and time again?"
Nanxing was so frightened by Luo Qingyuan's behavior that his face turned slightly pale, and he was about to speak.
"How did Ye Nuan know I had a grandmother back then? Hmm?"
This sentence set off alarm bells in Nanxing's mind, and his face turned deathly pale.
She only mentioned it casually when she went to the hospital to see Ye Nuan...
Luo Qingyuan wasn't stupid. Why would the Jiang family suddenly turn their attention to her grandmother? If it were Jiang Jingwen, she might be able to accept it, since Jiang Jingwen had a brain. But Jiang Jingwen had already been sentenced. If no one had deliberately reminded her, she didn't believe Jiang Jingchuan would have thought of this.
Jiang Jingchuan is an idiot, and he has a fatal weakness: arrogance, extreme arrogance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used Ye Nuan to set a trap. Therefore, given Jiang Jingchuan's style of doing things, he would never have bothered to scheme against her grandmother, because he would think that an old woman couldn't possibly accomplish anything.
Nanxing's eyes darted away, but Luo Qingyuan's hand tightened its grip, her eyes sharp and intimidating.
"Nanxing, you haven't dared to visit Ye Nuan's grave in public all these years, have you? Why? Is it because you've done too many bad things and are afraid she'll come looking for you at night?"
Luo Qingyuan almost took a deep breath to suppress the sharp pain in her chest.
Because Nanxing saved Duan Ye, so what if she knows the truth?
She couldn't bring herself to attack Nanxing, because that would completely sever her relationship with the Duan family. After all, Nanxing had only mentioned in a conversation that the person Luo Qingyuan cared about most was her grandmother. Luo Qingyuan didn't even dare to think about how Nanxing knew that the person she cared about most was her grandmother. She didn't dare to investigate, fearing that the more she investigated, the more unbearable it would become.
