"Xiao Zong, you go back first. I'm going out for a walk with her. You know what to do about this."
Nangong Qi patted Nangong Zong on the shoulder and gave him a few words of advice.
"Sister, you have to come back soon. If you come back late, I won't be able to keep it a secret for you."
When Nangong Zong heard that his sister wanted to go out for a walk, he did not stop her.
After all, her older sister had always kept her locked in her room, and this time she finally decided to go out for a walk.
There was no need for me to stop her, but remembering my father's irritable nature, I was still a little scared, afraid that I would be punished if I let my sister out.
"No problem, I'll bring you some delicious food after I go out."
Knowing that her younger brother would do what was best for her and wouldn't tell their father, Nangong Qi walked out the door and smiled at Nangong Zong.
"Okay, I want fried chicken and a hamburger!"
Hearing that Nangong Qi was going to bring him something delicious, he was very happy and told Nangong Qi what he wanted to eat.
"good."
Nangong Qi knew that there were many rules in their family, and they wouldn't be allowed to eat anything unclean.
When she was able to go out and see the world, Nangong Qi brought back some hamburgers and fried chicken for Nangong Zong.
Nangong Zong fell in love with that taste and repeatedly begged his father to buy it for him.
However, for the sake of his health, he has never been able to have it, which is why Nangong Zong wants to eat it but can't.
"Yay!"
Nangong Zong, beaming with joy, skipped back to the villa.
"Your brother, you really change your tune quickly!"
Seeing Nangong Zong, who was cold just now, now grinning from ear to ear, it was a little hard to accept.
"I apologize to you for my brother's behavior just now."
Nangong Qi, feeling somewhat embarrassed about her younger brother, spoke to Lu Xi.
"It's okay, Sister Qi, but aren't you called Zhu Qi? When did you become Nangong Qi?"
Lu Xi didn't take what Nangong Zong, who was younger than her, had said to heart.
But then he remembered how Nangong Zong addressed Zhu Qi earlier, and it was a little different from what he knew.
"Actually, my name is Nangong Qi. Zhu Qi was just a name I used when I went out to make my way in the world."
Seeing Lu Xi's confusion, Zhu Qi smiled and explained to Lu Xi.
"It turns out that Sister Qi's family is also a wealthy family."
"It's alright. What exactly did your brother send you to see me about this time?"
After the two got into the car, Nangong Qi looked at Lu Xi and asked.
"Here's what happened. I'm about to start a media company, and everything is ready. My brother was also about to start investing when someone close to me suddenly left. My brother was worried that I wouldn't be able to run the company well, so he insisted that I find a capable person to help me. I didn't have any connections, so my brother recommended you to me."
After learning about Nangong Qi's family's circumstances, the flame of hope that had been burning died out, and he said to Nangong Qi with a helpless expression.
"It's true that it's difficult for me to help you with this right now. I'll go back and think about it. If I can go, I'll call you back."
Now, her family doesn't allow her to have any contact with anyone related to Lu Fan.
But seeing Lu Xi's pitiful appearance, he still couldn't bear it and finally thought about it and said to Lu Xi.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Sister Qi's news. Let's go grab a bite to eat now, and then we still need to buy a hamburger for your brother."
Hearing that Sister Qi was going back to consider it, Lu Xi's hope was rekindled, regardless of whether it would work out or not.
The sky gradually darkened.
"Tell me, where did your sister go?"
Inside the villa's hall, a burly man sat on the sofa, while Nangong Zong knelt on the floor.
"I...I don't know."
Kneeling on the ground, Nangong Zong dared not look up at his father, who was sitting on the sofa questioning him.
Nangong Ye, the head of the Nangong family, checked the time and it was already past six o'clock.
But when questioned by his father, Nangong Zong could not reveal his sister's whereabouts under any circumstances and could only deny it immediately.
"Xiao Zong, tell me where your sister went!"
Nangong Zong's mother was also dressed very elegantly, but her face did not show as much reproach as Nangong Ye's. She looked at Nangong Zong and asked anxiously.
"Mother, I don't know where my sister went either? She must be alright."
Seeing his mother's worried expression, Nangong Zong's resolve wavered somewhat.
In the end, she still didn't admit that she went out with Lu Fan's sister, and continued to deny it.
"Why are you wasting your breath talking to him! Beat him up!"
Looking at his wife and then at Nangong Zong, who remained silent, Nangong Ye angrily gave orders to his subordinates.
Upon hearing the patriarch's order, the two men, Ba Nangong and Zong, held each other tightly.
Another subordinate ran to the ancestral hall, took out a stick from a box, gripped the stick tightly in his hand, and walked over to Nangong Zong. Seeing that this was the young master, he looked at Nangong Ye, waiting to see what instructions Nangong Ye would give next.
"Why are you looking at me! Let him hit me until he tells the truth!"
Nangong Ye and his subordinate exchanged a glance, then angrily pointed at Nangong Zong, who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted.
Pia……pia……
"ah!"
With each lash of the whip below, Nangong Zong, who was kneeling on the ground, crawled down to the ground, howling in pain.
"What are you doing? Stop hitting!"
