“Auntie, long time no see.” Luo Sang wore a polite smile as she stepped forward to greet them. “Grandpa, Grandma, it’s nice to meet you.”
“Luo Sang, I’ve always thought that you dressed well, but I never imagined that you’d be this pretty.” Murong Cheng chuckled.
Luo Sang smiled abashedly. “Junting went to a meeting at work, and he hasn’t been back since.” As she mentioned this, Murong Cheng and Murong Ze appeared uncomfortable.
Murong Cheng nodded. “Something cropped up at the Shengting Corporation today, and it may take a while to resolve the matter. Have you had dinner?”
“Yes, I have.”
Murong Ze coughed lightly.
“Don’t stand at the door, come in.”
After they were seated in the living room, Sister Lan brought them tea. When she got to Luo Sang, she whispered softly, “Don’t worry, master is on his way back. He’ll be here in ten minutes.”
Luo Sang was actually not worried at all. In fact, the people around her should have been the ones worrying. Nian Junting had an unusual temperament. He was often unpredictable, especially with his temper. If things went wrong, he might even end up having a falling out with them.
Luo Sang started to make small talk. “Auntie, I heard that you recently went to Finland to see the Northern Lights. How was it? I’ve heard that seeing the Northern Lights is a must in this lifetime.”
The phrase “Northern Lights” seemed to make the three of them freeze. Murong Cheng was apologetic. “Sorry, Luo Sang, we didn’t know that this would happen.” She stopped before looking at Yu Wen and Murong Ze. “Mom, Dad, since we’re here, why don’t you apologize? If not for Kang Ying and Ye Chuen’s influence, you might not have cooperated with Yi Jingxi. If not for your idleness, the Shengting Corporation might not have lost almost $2,000,000,000, causing Luo Sang to be embroiled in public opinion.”
Yu Wen could not help but say, “Her embroilment in public opinion is no fault of ours. It was her father and her ex-fiancé’s fault.”
“Mom…” Murong Cheng glared at her. “Do you still want to resolve the matter peacefully?”
Yu Wen stood up. “You should not spoil Junting. Look at how things are. Junting found a girlfriend, and because of her, the Shengting Corporation lost so much money. If they get married in the future, it’ll be the talk of the town. Xu Luosang, if you truly love Nian Junting, then you should leave him. I’ll admit that Nian Junting will hate me for this, but I’m doing this for his own good.”
Luo Sang remained silent.
Yu Wen continued, “Your ex-fiance is like a madman. You’ve seen how he acted this time. He’s giving it his all. Can you imagine what he’ll do next time? He’ll ruin the Shengting Corporation and Nian Junting’s reputations eventually.”
Murong Cheng and Murong Ze were startled. Luo Sang was frozen, too. She never realized before that Yi Jingxi had said that he loved her, and his actions were an effort to keep her by his side. However, it was evident that his “love” had become extreme, and Yu Wen’s words did make sense.
“Tell me, how much money would you accept to leave Nian Junting’s side?” Yu Wen said bluntly.
“Unless you give her all of the Zhong Zhou Group, she’ll not consider leaving,” Nian Junting’s loud, sarcastic voice bellowed across the room from the door.
Everyone in the living room was startled, and Murong Cheng asked, “Why didn’t we hear the sound of your car outside? How are things at the company?”
