Chapter 424: Chapter 424 Auntie_1 Chapter 424: Chapter 424 Auntie_1 “Absolutely infuriating!” Jiang Nanfei gritted her teeth in rage, feeling the whole thing was a raw deal for Sun Lu and veering towards a total meltdown. But she quickly caught herself and made an effort to calm down.
She forcefully suppressed the anger boiling inside her.
Because anger didn’t help anyone!
Huo Kewei quietly gave a thumbs-up to Zuo Xinyao. Where did those people in the Imperial City get their information from? They must be blind to believe it.
Just this temperament alone surpassed many of them.
“You don’t have to be upset, you’ve already done what you could.” Ying Jiuming couldn’t help but comfort her.
“Sigh!” Nanfei revealed a hint of the distress typical of girls her age, “I always feel that this happened too abruptly and it shouldn’t have been .”
“Nobody expected it. Oh right! Let me introduce you.” Ying Jiuming pointed to the two men across from him, “This is Huo Kewei, a member of the Huo family. This is Zuo Xinyao, Huo Beijiang’s good friend.”
He did not mention anything about their background or origins.
Nanfei didn’t care about their influential backgrounds or their obviously non-rural style and attire. She nodded politely at the two men and smiled, saying, “Nice to meet you.”
As she finished, she couldn’t help joking, “It’s hard to imagine that someone as venomous as Huo Beijiang could actually have friends! What a surprise!”
Her teasing made the three men burst into laughter.
“That’s why I say, he must have been very lucky in his past life.”
Unable to contain himself, Huo Kewei rushed to say, “Hello, little aunt. You’re absolutely right. My uncle is venomous in character and tongue, the whole person is just venomous.”
As soon as he finished talking, he was yanked by Zuo Xinyao, who quietly warned, “Be careful, if your uncle hears you, you’re going to be in serious trouble.”
Huo Kewei dismissively said, “My little aunt won’t tattle! Right?! Little aunt.”
Why was Huo Kewei so different from his past life?
She gave an awkward laugh, wanting to explain that she was not his little aunt and that she and Huo Beijiang weren’t even engaged yet. But when the words reached her lips, she felt soft and couldn’t deny it.
Blushing slightly, Nanfei nodded at Huo Kewei, “Hello, just call me Nanfei.”
“Hello, little aunt Nanfei.”
Huo Kewei’s enthusiasm caught Nanfei off guard, she faltered for a moment before adjusting and saying, “I definitely won’t tattle, however…”
She pointed at Zuo Xinyao, “I think what Zuo Xinyao meant just now was, either he or Officer Ying might tattle.”
“Damn!” Huo Kewei was enlightened, he further accepted Nanfei as family.
“You two are really low, no tattling allowed!”
Zuo Xinyao remained aloof and did not say a word. To him, Jiang Nanfei was simply a woman Huo Beijiang liked. She had yet to earn his respect.
As for whether she would in the future, that depended on her performance.
The arrival of Ying Jiuming and his companions was abrupt, but their departure was swift. It seemed they had come solely to meet Nanfei, exchanged phone numbers after the introductions, and then left.
Even after they left, Nanfei found it all very surreal.
In the past, she wasn’t well-acquainted with Ying Jiuming and Zuo Xinyao, only Huo Kewei. Due to his proximity to Huo Beijiang, they had met a few times. She was never friendly to any of the Huo family, and Huo Kewei was a notorious spoilt rich kid.
