Chapter 101 The Beloved Little Cousin 18
"Xu Congnan, you actually lied to protect her?"
"I didn't mean to frame her. If Nan Qiao hadn't pushed Meng Ran into the lake, she wouldn't have been exiled."
Wang Man, like a victor who had the upper hand, declared with a flourish:
"This is what she owes Meng Ran."
Xu Congnan's eyes turned cold, and the tears in the girl's eyes chilled him completely. He didn't say anything else. Instead, he took the phone from his assistant and transferred a file to the family group and the family group.
The Xu family has a clan group and a family group. In addition to the main branch of the Xu family, the family group also has side branches. Because there are so many people, the screen is flooded with messages every day and it is very lively.
But the family group is different. There are only the main branch of the Xu family in it. Few people talk in it. It is extremely quiet on weekdays, except for sometimes someone forwarding some notifications or something.
It’s more of a notification group than a family group.
The family group's messages always refreshed quickly. After seeing that it was sent by the eldest son of the main branch, the speed of refreshing the screen increased several times, almost leaving afterimages.
Putting away his phone, Xu Congnan looked at Third Aunt and said calmly, "Third Aunt is right. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. What you owe to others must be repaid."
"I've already arranged for Xu Mengran to take a leave of absence from school. When the time comes, she'll be sent abroad as well. She'll have to stay abroad for the same number of years that Qiao Qiao did. This is what she owes Qiao Qiao."
After saying that, Xu Congnan no longer looked at Wang Man whose expression changed drastically. He leaned over, picked up the girl in his arms, and strode out of the coffee shop.
Wang Man was so shocked by his words that she was at a loss for words. Her nephew's words made her feel a chill in her heart. When she saw him leaving, she subconsciously wanted to catch up and ask him questions.
But his movements were not as fast as theirs. After the two of them got in, the car started immediately, leaving behind only a puff of exhaust fumes.
The uneasiness in Wang Man's heart spread like a spider web. She returned to the private room with a gloomy look. She heard the sound of something ringing in her handbag, and her heart suddenly became nervous.
She checked the caller ID.
Meng Ran.
It's her daughter.
The words Xu Congnan said before he left came to her mind again. Wang Man suppressed her uneasiness and answered the phone.
Listening to her daughter's crying on the phone, Wang Man's pupils shrank. She hurriedly put down the phone and opened the Xu family group.

The things Xu Congnan sent to the two groups caused a huge stir in the Xu family. The increasing number of downloads of the files showed that they were very interested in the incident of Xu Mengran falling into the water that year.
The side branches naturally have a great deal of envy for the main branch, and they are naturally very interested in reading the gossip about the main branch as it is a rare opportunity.
They were secretly jealous of the main branch, and had no idea that family disgrace should not be made public, so they quickly spread the news.
Soon, what they revealed caused an uproar in the circle.
Nan Qiao was also in the family group. She had already received the message when Xu Congnan sent the information to the group.
Looking at the document without any markings, the girl was a little confused, and her pink fingertips quickly clicked on it.
The entire document is only more than two pages long, and is interspersed with various photos, making it easy to understand at a glance.
I don’t know how long I watched it, so long that my phone rang several times in succession, but Nan Qiao didn’t answer it.
The heater was on in the car, and it was as warm as spring. She huddled in a corner of the back seat, and the neon lights on the roadside fell on her face, flickering and making it impossible to see her expression.
Xu Congnan looked at her, and when he saw that she finally put down her phone, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
The girl was startled by his actions and subconsciously tried to struggle, but failed. She could only lie half of her face on the man's chest, listening to the strong heartbeat beneath his chest.
Taking advantage of the fact that the girl was in a sad and confused state, Xu Congnan still hugged her completely in his arms.
The carriage was very quiet, and the girl's chaotic mind calmed down. She nestled obediently in the man's chest, no longer thinking about anything else.
"Is Qiao Qiao sad now?"
After an unknown amount of time, a man's deep voice came from above, waking up the girl who was already feeling a little sleepy.
The little head in my arms nodded.
How can I not be sad?
She asked softly, "Why did my second cousin do this?"
She was six years old at the time, and her second cousin was only seven. They were both children, and she should not have offended her. How could the other party come up with such a method to target her?
Even though the words on paper and the pictures were clear, the girl still felt an indescribable sense of absurdity.
Who would believe that this intrigue happened at the fingertips of a child?
The man tightened his hands slightly and rested his chin on the girl's hair. The beautiful woman he had coveted for a long time was now completely embraced in his arms.
This is the past year for the two of them.
...the closest distance.
He hugged the body in his arms tightly, and the neon lights outside the window flickered a bright hue across his gold-rimmed glasses, also illuminating the darkness hidden in the man's eyes. He quickly and nonchalantly gave an answer:
"To satisfy the greed that keeps growing in my heart."
The daughter of a well-off family, thanks to her mother's wealthy marriage, rose to fame overnight and became a lady of a wealthy family.
People with simple minds may live their lives peacefully, but people with greedy minds will want better once they have something good.
Some people are like this, they are never satisfied and never get enough.
The man only said this and stopped talking. He would redeem her for all the grievances she had suffered, but he didn't want her to be sad.
"Be good, don't think about it."
The girl understood this, but she still felt sad. She blinked, looked up, and asked, "Can I not go back to the old house tonight?"
She was not ready to meet Xu Mengran yet.
Xu Congnan realized the girl's thoughts, his eyes flashed, and he asked casually: "You don't want to go back to the old house, where do you want to go?"
Nan Qiao thought for a moment and shook her head dejectedly. She didn't own any property, and although she had some familiar classmates at school, she wasn't close enough to live in their homes.
A smile flashed across the man's eyes. He seemed to think for a moment and said, "It's not safe for girls to stay in a hotel. If you don't mind, go and squeeze in with my cousin."
Nan Qiao's eyes lit up and she nodded hastily. Her mind was in a mess and she didn't want to face the rest of the Xu family.
The smile in the man's eyes grew deeper, and he casually asked the driver in front to change the route and drive towards the house he had arranged.

Let’s talk about the Xu family. When Xu Congnan sent out the document, most of the Xu family members were at home. They soon saw the document, and the atmosphere in the Xu family fell into silence.
The younger generations all had ugly expressions on their faces, and Xu Huizhou even spat and wanted to go upstairs directly.
Xu Li's face turned cold, which was rare: "Xu Huizhou, what are you doing!"
Xu Huizhou: "I'll go upstairs and find Xu Mengran to find out!" His face was gloomy and he kept walking upstairs.
Xu Mengran lived on the third floor. Her room was at the end of the corridor. The room faced the garden and had plenty of light. It was a special arrangement made by Wang Man.
Xu Huizhou suppressed his anger and knocked on the door, but after knocking for several minutes, there was no response from the person inside.
Xu Huizhou continued to knock impatiently, and the knocking became louder and louder, but after more than ten minutes, there was still no response from inside.
He frowned, wondering if Xu Mengran was not in the room. Thinking about this, he no longer wasted time and went downstairs quickly.
Xu Jie was relieved to see him coming down without anyone else following him, then hesitantly said, "...My sister had a meeting with friends this afternoon and went out."
He also saw the document. There was not much content in the document, but it made him feel confused and he didn't know what to do.
Cousin Qiao Qiao didn't push her sister into the water. Instead, it was her sister who framed her cousin Qiao Qiao, which led to her cousin being sent abroad...
My sister's poor health over the years has nothing to do with the drowning incident; she was just faking it...
Xu Jie rubbed his slightly aching brow, looked at his phone which had made several calls but no one answered, and pulled up the corners of his mouth with a wry smile.
The sister whom I always thought was kind-hearted turned out to be a complete liar.
However, as a child in his teens, he really didn't know what to do in the face of such sudden changes.
Xu Mu's face was gloomy. After hearing Xu Jie's words, a flash of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. He looked at Xu Huizhou, who looked fierce, and said calmly, "What are you going to say when you find her?"
"Do you still want to listen to her excuses? Isn't it clear in the document with both pictures and text?"
Xu Jie's cheeks flushed as he listened to his half-brother's sarcasm and he shrank his neck in embarrassment.
Xu Mu didn't look at him. Although he was still a member of the third house in name, he had long since alienated his philandering father. When he learned about this, he just made a few sarcastic remarks and didn't want to interfere too much.
He quickly turned around and went back to his room. Thinking of that pitiful little cousin, he paused and sent a few messages.

Before Nan Qiao returned home, Xu Congnan rarely returned to the Xu family's old house.
He is a workaholic. In order to work nearby, he bought a large flat of nearly 300 square meters on the rooftop of a high-rise building near the Xu Group's building.
Although he later fell in love with living in the old house because of the girl, the original house has always been cleaned by a nanny, and he can move in at any time as long as he comes back.
The girl had never lived in such a large top-floor apartment. She lived in a whole small building abroad with flowers and plants in the small garden. After returning to the Xu family, she occupied the entire fourth floor of the Xu family, but the height was not as high as this building.
The room was warm, and she walked around in her slippers, stopping and starting, her eyes constantly looking around.
There are also floor-to-ceiling windows in the large flat. The long floor-to-ceiling windows are located in the living room. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can look down from above and take in the traffic and colorful neon lights below.
