Chapter 643 Consoling
Qu Hao smiled. “There are rumors in Jiang Hu that Tong Huan and her husband left their daughter with an uncountable amount of wealth.”
I didn’t smile. I nodded. “They wanted to use five billion to buy this island, but they didn’t know that the treasures hidden on this island were in the hundreds or even hundreds of billions.”
Qu Hao also stopped smiling. “Perhaps they thought you didn’t know.”
I was stunned, but I immediately understood what he meant.
“Yes. It was me who found the treasure for my uncle Tong Hui on the previous island,” I admitted. “They must have taken it all when they escaped. So they are trying to use my money to buy my things. They are still treating me like a fool.” I smiled bitterly.
It was no wonder that my little uncle was sad.
Qu Hao and I came to an agreement. I would talk to my little uncle and Jing Tian.
My little uncle hadn’t been in a good mood recently.
“Nanxing, am I not a man? How can I be so indecisive when it’s such a small matter?”
I hugged him. “Little uncle, no matter what happens to others, Nanxing will always stand on your side and will never betray you! You’re my only family member! We’ll leave this to Qu Hao, and let’s not worry about it anymore, alright?”
Little uncle nodded slightly. “I’m sorry. I’ve disappointed everyone.”
I stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder. “You have not disappointed us. Those who say they’re disappointed in you are not your friends, so why care about them? Little uncle, you’re trapped by yourself. You should stay back and spend some time with Mai Qi! You are not a deserter. It’s because you value family and loyalty that you’re unwilling to face them. Little Uncle, I don’t want you to be trapped by your own inner demons.”
Mai Qi and my little uncle left the island.
Mr. Li gave him a task. He asked the two of them to send Tong Yan back to his village. Tong Yan was already a person with no memory. That primitive village was her best haven.
As for us, in order to thank Mr. Li, we will also set up a fund for the local tribe’s development.
After sending off Mai Qi and my little uncle, we went to Gu Nian’s meeting.
Gu Nian held a cocktail party in the VIP Hall of the best hotel on the island. Apart from the Seven Brothers and us, many powerful people were there.
Even though I didn’t know these people, these people clearly knew me.
Jing Ni approached me and said softly, “You’re now the most popular person on this island. You’re no longer a princess but a queen.” I couldn’t help laughing. “Who gave me that title? I wonder if that means people will have to give me tithe.”
Jing Ni rolled her eyes at me. “How can you want more money? This whole island is already
yours.”
I pursed my lips and smiled.
Jing Tian and Qu Hao didn’t smile. Their gazes were gentle only when they looked at the two of us.
Gu Nian came out to welcome them, followed by Lu Yan, who looked submissive.
“Nanxing, you’re here.” He had a friendly attitude, but only called me by my name. He looked at Jing Tian and Qu Hao as if they were nothing
I smiled. “Is the injury on your arm serious?”
He raised his arm and smiled lightly. “It’s nothing. It’s just a minor injury.”
Jing Tian said indifferently, “Master Liu, I don’t want Nanxing to feel guilty about this.”
Gu Nian looked at Jing Tian, his gaze turning cold bit by bit. He said indifferently, “I never want anything in return when I did that for Nanxing. All I want is for her to be happy. Master Qi, can’t I even do that anymore?”
Jing Tian’s expression had already changed. I quickly intervened, “Master Liu, thank you! Jing Tian, come with me. I have something I want to see over there.”
