Chapter 4: Broken Engagement
-
At the same time, in the Zhan Mansion located in Xiangrui Mountain, due east of Jiangcheng.
Zhan Hengyi had just finished breakfast and was about to go out when he was stopped by his mother Dong Jinrong.
"Hengyi, come with me and do me a favor by delivering something to my friend's house." She looked at her son with a smile, her eyes full of flattery.
She may seem dignified to outsiders, but in Zhan Hengyi's eyes, this mother is definitely up to no good.
Dong Jinrong was followed by several servants, carrying several reddish-brown wooden boxes with great difficulty. Zhan Hengyi said, "I have to meet a friend who has returned from studying abroad today, so I'll ask my adjutant to take you there."
"No, it won't take you long, at most an hour."
Zhan Hengyi frowned and looked at his watch. There was still time. "Okay, let's go!"
Dong Jinrong got into her son's car, a smile on her lips, "Follow the car in front."

On the Nan family's side, the scene was chaotic.
"Everyone, I am deeply sorry that your family members met with harm because of drinking tea from my tea garden. I have already paid all the medical expenses. As for the compensation, didn't we agree on it? I will give you 5,000 yuan every ten days. How-" The speaker was Nan Chengcheng's father, Nan Yuanzhong.
He wore a brown robe. Although he was nearly fifty years old, he was very self-disciplined and his figure remained as straight as when he was young. It was just that the hair around his temples had become much grayer in recent times. At this moment, he looked at everyone with an apologetic look on his face.
"Nan Yuanzhong, the five thousand dollars we agreed on last time is not enough. According to the current condition of these people, we need ten thousand dollars. You give us five thousand first, and we will come back for the rest in ten days.
Pay the money now, immediately, or these old, weak, sick, and disabled people will eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep in your house from today on, and we’ll starve you to death.” Wang Guiqin took two steps forward and said arrogantly.
"Yes, ten thousand!"
"Ten thousand yuan!"
"Pay me money!"
…
Everyone started to make a fuss.
"Report it to the police, and we will arrest him.
If you want money, it’s five thousand yuan, not a cent more. Pay it at the agreed time, or you’ll die! " Nan Chengcheng had a delicate figure, but a fierce aura. With a cold, ruthless, and indifferent look in her eyes, she strode in front of her father and stood opposite Wang Guiqin.
Nan Chengcheng suspected that there was something fishy going on and that the Nan family must have been framed. She wanted to find out the truth.
"Come on!" Nan Shaoqing strode to his sister's side, raised his fist towards Wang Guiqin, and said with a fierce attitude, "Come on, catch me! I am the current person in charge of the tea garden!"
"You-" Wang Guiqin was so angry at the Nan family siblings' cruel words that she stared at him, speechless for a moment, her eyes searching everywhere, as if looking for someone to back her up.
"Oh, no, you can't do that. You two little brats, please stop meddling in this. Do you want to put my brother in jail?!" Nan Yuanchong hurried over from the backyard, holding up the hem of his robe, and shouted harshly.
Nan Yuanchong was Nan Yuanzhong's older brother and owned a 30% stake in the Nan family's tea plantation. He used this money to collect dividends from the Nan family and opened two restaurants, but business was mediocre, barely enough to cover his family's expenses.
Nan Chengcheng glanced at Nan Yuanchong, who looked hypocritical and treacherous, and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Why are you staying at my house again?
So in your opinion, what should we do about this matter?
Are you planning to help financially or physically? After all, you own a certain share in the tea plantation, and you always run faster than anyone else when the dividends are distributed. Now that the tea plantation is in trouble, you better not run faster than anyone else!
"What are you talking about, kid? How can your uncle ignore you? Look who I found here!" Nan Yuanchong said, pointing to the gate.
