Nangong Shou was afraid that Lu Fan would lead his cousin astray and make him disown his own family, so he took a step to follow them and hear what the two of them had to say.
However, Jiang Manyue stepped forward and gave Nangong Shou a gentle smile:
"I think Mr. Nangong Qun must want to have a private conversation with my husband, and it's not appropriate for us to go and disturb him."
"I wonder if Mr. Nangong Shou could accompany me for a walk around this venue? To be honest, I haven't been in Nanshan City for very long, and I haven't gotten to know all the people here yet."
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face.
Jiang Manyue smiled gently and was considerate in her speech and actions.
In Nangong Shou's mind, she and Lu Fan, that cunning businessman, were completely different!
Even speaking to her is like a gentle breeze.
At that moment, Nangong Qun was accompanying Lu Fan in circles with a complicated expression, circling around in various senses:
"Now everyone in the Nangong family is saying that you sent someone to assassinate that guy."
Is it really you?
Looking at the somewhat haggard Nangong Qun, Lu Fan couldn't help but sigh at the cruel twists of fate.
The once-proud prodigy now appears as a complete failure in his presence.
Lu Fan shook his head and made no attempt to hide anything from Nangong Qun: "It wasn't someone I sent. I only know about this matter."
Nangong Qun wanted to ask more questions, but considering his current situation, what use would it be even if he asked more clearly?
Thinking of this, Nangong Qun could only manage a self-deprecating smile in the end:
"Forget it, what does this have to do with me now?"
"I haven't told you yet, but I, or rather my whole family, have been kicked out by the Nangong family and have to fend for ourselves."
Lu Fan was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Nangong Qun's expression.
Seeing that Nangong Qun's expression didn't seem fake, Lu Fan was also surprised:
"How could that be? The Nangong family is now so full of talented people that they can't even tolerate your existence?"
Given Nangong Qun's abilities, while he might not be able to turn the tide of the Nangong family, he certainly held a position of deep influence and influence where a single move could affect the entire family.
After all, the large family he mentioned couldn't possibly consist of only him; there was also his father and his grandfather!
The current head of the Nangong family is his uncle's family, who is a distant relative. His mother and grandfather's mother were not siblings, so even Lu Fan finds their current situation somewhat unfortunate.
Although Nangong Qun looked haggard, he appeared relaxed.
He shrugged and smiled at Lu Fan:
"Of course, this is just a decision. My grandfather also deserves credit for making this decision possible."
Lu Fan raised an eyebrow and looked at Nangong Qun, guessing:
"Could it be that your grandfather orchestrated this whole thing?" Nangong Qun nodded, pacing slowly down the corridor with his hands in his pockets.
"Yes, I was very angry at first. Over the years, who in our family hasn't worked diligently and contributed to the family business? How much have we sacrificed?"
"How can a century-old foundation be destroyed in an instant because of one thing, because of the death of one person?"
At first, Nangong Qun thought it was just ordinary infighting and internal strife within the family.
Until his resentment and resistance drew his grandfather's attention. Nangong Qun took a deep breath:
"Lu Fan, you know what? Sometimes I envy you too." Lu Fan didn't understand what Nangong Qun had to envy about him. But after thinking about it, he figured what this guy envied was probably his freedom.
Lu Fan chuckled and said, "If you really knew me, you would know that there are always people more powerful than you."
He subtly reminded Nangong Qun that he also had a formidable figure like Elder Huang weighing on his head.
Moreover, the two are now in almost the same situation, both because of Huang Lao, who has retired from public life but continues to work behind the scenes.
Nangong Qun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed:
"That's not what I meant. Never mind, let's continue talking about family matters."
It turned out that Nangong Qun's grandfather had approached him because he had learned of Nangong Qun's impending revenge against the family, which had caught his attention.
“Grandfather said that all of this was discussed privately with the head of the family.”
Lu Fan hadn't expected to run into two members of the Nangong family at the auction today, especially the latter, Nangong Qun. He was even more surprised by the wealth of information Nangong Qun shared with him:
"So, the Nangong family is putting on an act? And for whom? Could it be..."
Clearly, Lu Fan only had one person in mind.
That's Elder Huang, whom even the Nangong family fears!
Nangong Qun nodded meaningfully to Lu Fan:
"That's right, it's that person. He supported the Nangong family, but now he wants the Nangong clan to cut off their own arm and continue to be his cattle and horses for generations to come."
“But children grow up and eventually leave the nest. The Nangong family is one of the top families in the country. How could they not have some pride?”
"Even my uncles and aunts were unwilling to let their descendants continue to serve the Huang family like slaves after all the hard work they had done for them!"
So several elders of the Nangong family came up with this idea.
