Gu Mingzhe almost vomited blood from the fury brought upon him by these two idiotic women.
In the face of Zhong Qianqian’s pleading amidst loud sobs, Gu Mingzhe could not help but hiss under his breath, “You haven’t learned your lesson from the whole Selina incident, have you?”
Zhong Qianqian, “…”
“That’s why, isn’t it? No matter how much I try to dissuade you, you insist on courting death.”
Zhong Qianqian, “…”
Then, Gu Mingzhe leaned close to Zhong Qianqian’s ear and asked, “Do you know that Old Master Nangong abhors evil? If he finds out that you deliberately killed someone, he won’t care about you, even if you’re his granddaughter. Not only that, but he’ll also make the prison guards punish you severely.”
Zhong Qianqian’s eyes widened. She was truly afraid now.
She grabbed Gu Mingzhe violently. “Brother Mingzhe, save me! Save me, please! I don’t want to go to jail! I don’t want to be sentenced!”
Next to her, Huang Yuhan was stunned as well. Her eyes were now full of disgust as she looked at Zhong Qianqian.
“You can go to jail first. I’ll come up with something.”
At that moment, Zhong Qianqian was filled with endless regret.
Jiang Shuwan reminded her, time and again, not to mess with Zhong Nuannuan anymore. If all went down the drain, Zhong Qianqian could abandon the identity of being the Nangong family’s young miss. After all, RS Bank did not know about Pu Yu’s identity. This meant they could continue to siphon out the enormous funds from RS Bank.
However, Zhong Qianqian refused to listen. Not only was she not prepared to give up her identity as a member of the Nangong family, but she also provoked Zhong Nuannuan out of spite when she found out about Zhong Nuannuan’s identity.
Zhong Qianqian finally registered the feeling of fear in her heart.
Yet, it was too late.
Without waiting for the police to arrive, Leng Jinpeng made a call and Zhong Qianqian was instantly taken away by someone from the military base. They helped the police bring her to the police station.
To everyone, Zhong Qianqian was just seasoning that embellished Miss Sunny.
Since Zhong Qianqian had been captured, Gu Mingzhe and Huang Yuhan could not stay any longer. They left quickly as well.
Duke Eton made his vengeful move on Zhong Qianqian in front of so many people. Firstly, he wanted to let all these privileged personages know how much he valued his daughter, Zhong Nuannuan. Secondly, he wanted to let everyone know Zhong Nuannuan’s true character.
A girl who could go to such an extent for the sake of a loveless half-sister was definitely loyal and honorable.
Everyone praised Duke Eton for having two beautiful daughters.
Duke Eton happily accepted everyone’s approval.
Next, the auction officially began.
After the auction started, Zhong Nuannuan returned to her seat.
Her seat was next to Chi Yang. Meanwhile, Qu Mingyi’s seat was next to Chi Yang’s.
For the past few days, Qu Mingyi’s face had been glowing because his wife, Yang Min, and son, Qu Wei, had come to Jiang District to accompany him.
Today, although his son did not come, his wife, Yang Min, accompanied him.
Hence, to make things less awkward for Yang Min, Qu Mingyi asked her to sit next to Nuannuan while he and Chi Yang sat next to each other.
After Nuannuan descended the stage, Chi Yang immediately put his military trench coat over her shoulders.
Zhong Nuannuan, “…”
“It’s cold! Be careful not to catch a cold,” Chi Yang said with an austere face.
Zhong Nuannuan, “…!!!”
Pfft…
Yang Min could not help but burst into laughter next to Nuannuan.
Zhong Nuannuan looked at Yang Min and raised her elegant eyebrows slightly. She looked at Qu Mingyi and asked cheekily, “Uncle Qu, this must be Mrs. Qu, right?”
With his wife by his side, Qu Mingyi looked ten years younger.
