Chapter 149 The Old-Fashioned Way of a Bride for Good Luck
"Nanzi, what are you doing?"
"Let's chat!"
Nanzi didn't look up when she answered her best friend Xiaoyao's question.
Xiao Yao approached, puzzled.
"Who are you chatting with? Is it your fiancé?"
Nanzi rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"How could that be? I don't even know if my fiancé is a human or a ghost, how could I possibly chat with him?"
Who is that?
Xiao Yao could see that Nan Zi's smile was practically overflowing.
I'm very curious about who's on the other end.
It's amazing that Nanzi could make such an expression.
Nanzi knew that if the issue wasn't resolved today, Xiao Yao, that curious little girl, would keep asking questions.
He then put down his phone and gently rubbed Xiao Yao's chubby little face.
It feels really good.
"He's a little brother I just met. You wouldn't believe how incredibly cute he is, with big, watery eyes that seem to speak volumes."
Long eyelashes, like small fans.
A chubby face and a head of soft, curly hair.
She looks like a porcelain doll.
So cute!!
"Oh dear, look at you, you're drooling! You greedy little brat! You're ruining the nation's future generations!"
Seeing Nanzi swooning over a crush, Xiao Yao couldn't help but poke her head to bring her back to reality.
Her best friend is great in every way.
She comes from a good family, is beautiful, has a good temper, is capable, and is kind.
Her only weakness is that she's a doll lover.
They have a deep and unwavering love for cute dolls.
This fondness spread from things to people.
Xiao Yao and Nan Zi became best friends because of Xiao Yao's cute face.
Look at how engrossed Nanzi is now.
I knew it; I must have run into some cute little boy.
Nanzi is already 26, yet she's still teasing people like children.
"I didn't harm any children. It was just a teenager I met. You know about my family situation!"
Xiao Yao nodded.
Nanzi had told her that.
Nanzi is an only child in her family.
She is an only child, and her family has some money.
They're not exactly a wealthy family, just content with modest wealth.
But her father was a scumbag.
Nanzi's mother had a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to Nanzi.
She survived countless near-death experiences to give birth to Nanzi.
The damage was so severe that she can no longer conceive.
His family had always wanted a son.
Seeing that Nanzi's mother couldn't have children.
He secretly kept his mistress a secret from Nanzi's mother.
All for the sake of having a son.
Later, Nanzi's mother found out.
They had a big argument.
I didn't get a divorce because of Nanzi.
But this temporary concession
It did not reform the old scumbag.
He became more careful about cheating.
Heaven is blind; the man who was destined to have no descendants actually had a son.
When Nanzi's younger brother grows up to be eight years old.
That scumbag brought her back.
She even had the audacity to think that the illegitimate child would be registered under Nanzi's mother's name.
He will inherit the family business in the future.
They are not remnants of a feudal dynasty.
They still hold onto those feudalistic ideas.
The mother was removed, but the son remained, and the child was registered under the name of the legal mother.
Nanzi's mother was already in poor health.
He got so angry that he fell ill and was bedridden.
It's all thanks to Nanzi's mother being from the Fu family.
When the Fu family heard about this, they immediately led a group to the door to demand justice.
Under pressure from the Fu family.
The illegitimate child was sent away.
Only then did things calm down at Nanzi's house.
However, these are all superficial.
That scumbag father has been spending his money on a life of debauchery.
Now that he has a son, he cares even less.
They'll like anything, no matter how dirty or smelly.
I heard he's spending a lot of money on entertainment, and he's currently supporting a live streamer.
They all have surgically enhanced, V-shaped faces.
The girls who looked radiant were all around twenty years old.
There's nothing you can do about it; old scumbags just like young girls.
Nanzi inherited this trait from that scumbag man.
Everyone likes girls with youthful faces.
Now the family doesn't care about the old scumbag anymore, and the company has hired a professional manager to take care of things.
Nanzi disliked managing family assets and did not choose to manage a business.
I chose jewelry design as my major.
I have now graduated and am working as a designer at a jewelry company.
If things continue like this, it won't be a big deal.
Who knew what happened a while ago?
In the Fu family, Nanzi's uncle suddenly found Nanzi's mother.
An introduction was made for a marriage.
Nanzi overheard and found out.
It turns out that the Fu family had a marriage agreement with someone.
The other person is in trouble now and could die at any moment.
The other party wants to get married as soon as possible to bring good luck.
The cousin who was originally supposed to marry him didn't want to marry a dying man.
He wanted to call off the engagement.
However, the other party wields more power than the Fu family.
The Fu family is not to be trifled with.
Then I thought of Nanzi.
Finding Nanzi wasn't a random decision.
When the betrothal was arranged between our children.
Nanzi's mother was also there with Nanzi.
The master initially ordered Nanzi.
At the time, the Fu family felt it was inappropriate to give such a good marriage partner to a woman who was to marry out of the family.
Isn't this just letting the good stuff go to outsiders?
They discussed with the master about selecting a new person.
They then chose Nanzi's cousin.
People die immediately when something happens to them now.
Cousin Nanzi didn't want to live a life of widowhood, but she also didn't want to offend anyone.
Nanzi's uncle then found Nanzi's mother.
She wanted Nanzi to marry in her place.
The peace that Nanzi's family enjoys now is all thanks to the suppression by the Fu family.
Nanzi's mother is frail, but not mentally challenged.
Knowing about this arranged marriage, she had no choice but to agree.
They agreed that they would receive some benefits and help from the Fu family.
The Nan family will remain in Nan Zi's hands in the future.
If you refuse the substitute marriage.
Offending the Fu family, without their help, plus that scumbag old man...
The Nan family cannot be saved.
Nanzi couldn't be saved either.
Regardless of how the pros and cons are weighed,
This marriage must go through.
Nanzi was also aware of this.
But she was unwilling to simply take someone else's place in marriage.
That day, her uncle dragged her to meet her fiancé's family.
Nanzi boldly turned and ran away.
I've been hiding at Xiao Yao's place for the past two days.
She was afraid the Fu family would find her.
"What are you thinking? How long do you plan to hide? You can't escape this marriage."
Xiao Yao was telling the truth.
Nanzi knew that she was telling the truth.
Whether it's the Fu family or the marriage partner.
They are families that you can't afford to offend.
Especially since her mother was involved in this matter.
It's like there's no way to refuse.
"What do you think about me getting married now?"
Nanzi looked at the baby emoji on the chat page.
The adorable cat stared at him with its big eyes.
This little brother conforms to all her aesthetic standards.
He looks exactly like her ideal type.
She would wholeheartedly approve of marrying such a sweetheart.
Xiao Yao couldn't help but poke Nan Zi's head again.
"You're overthinking it. If you get married, they'll break you up unless you find someone with a stronger backer than those two families. As for you, little brother, I advise you to give up and not hurt that innocent little darling."
I know Nanzi is truly in love.
But now is not the right time.
Even if you meet the right person, it won't end well.
Marriage doesn't eliminate trouble; instead, it can harm the other person.
"Ugh!!~"
Nanzi sighed.
She knew it, but she just couldn't accept it.
I'd rather not marry a dying man.
Meeting someone you like makes things even more upsetting.
"What do you think about me using my dying husband's money to support him?"
Xiao Yao really wanted to pry open Nan Zi's head and take a look inside.
"Is your brain half water and half flour, and you accidentally shook it together? It's become a paste?"
"I think it's possible. As long as I hide it well enough, I can have both money and a cute puppy. Adults can have both!"
Nanzi imagined that wonderful scene.
It would be best if the husband died, and then he could take his inheritance.
Give that little cutie a kiss, a hug, and lift her up high.
"Is that even possible? Even your cousin wouldn't dare, and you really dare to think about it?"
If that were possible, would your cousin have been willing to let you marry him in her place?
Nanzi immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, her head drooping.
"Oh dear, why am I so unlucky? It looks like I'm going to have to let my little darling down. What an adorable puppy brother."
"Clear your mind, go to sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be gone."
Xiao Yao didn't want to persuade him anymore.
Just lie down and go to sleep.
Nanzi looked at her phone and sent a goodnight emoji to Zhou Ran on the other end.
Only after receiving a goodnight greeting from the other end of the line did I reluctantly go to sleep.
Xiao Yao is right.
Take a nap.
When I woke up, everything was gone.
Not all adults are desirable.
Adults are often forced into situations where they can't have anything at all.
After sending messages to Nan Zi, Zhou Ran continued to send messages to other people.
He has a lot to investigate.
There are many things related to the Xia family, especially in the design.
The Xia family's house was almost completely cleaned after the previous two cleanings.
We need to investigate again this time, but there aren't many clues.
He soon received the results of the thorough investigation.
There is only one list.
There are six names on the list.
This is the most reliable person we could find.
And this list of suspicious persons.
The names Xia Chengan and Xiahou Nan were prominently displayed.
This time, Zhou Ran gave the order.
He is more inclined to be rational.
We only care about evidence.
Whoever the evidence points to is the suspect.
Zhou Ran was not surprised at all to see the names Xia Chenggan and Xiahou Nan appear.
The information he gave Xia Chenggan before explained the problem.
Although he gave the information to Xia Chenggan.
However, they did not suspect that the two were behind it.
It's not some kind of blind faith in them.
It was a rational judgment that ruled out both of them.
Both of them are very smart.
It belongs to the highest level of human intelligence.
If they were to take action, they would certainly not be discovered.
They wouldn't be so foolish as to let their own men find out.
They're not going to silence them yet, or someone will find something to use against them.
If Zhou Ran were to do this...
Xia Chengping will not have a chance to survive.
What they found was definitely a corpse.
Moreover, a scapegoat will be found.
Xia Cheng'an is the most suitable choice.
This kid is cunning and resourceful.
He also appeared at the scene and had emotional and financial entanglements with Xia Chengping.
He's a good scapegoat.
Then index all the lines back to Xia Cheng'an.
Witness silenced.
Destroy everything that could be evidence.
This left Xia Cheng'an speechless.
Even if you try to find evidence to overturn the verdict, you won't succeed.
This is the perfect plan.
The current situation seems more like a frame-up.
Xia Cheng'an, who was keeping watch over Xia Chengping, sneezed violently twice.
He rubbed his nose.
"Who is plotting against me?"
"What are you doing? Move already! Are you some kind of support guy lying in the grass playing with shit?"
"Damn it! Mind your own business, or I'll report you!!"
I got insulted by the opponent I was matched with.
Xia Cheng'an cursed back while quickly getting things done.
He continued playing the game, completely unaware that he had just been tricked.
Zhou Ran put the list away.
A fox will show its tail.
A good hunter needs patience.
Zhou Ran checked the time; it was already eleven o'clock.
Xia Chengjun said he was going back to China, and his flight was at 8 o'clock. He should have already boarded the plane!
Zhou Ran yawned, then silenced her phone and went to sleep.
