Nan Zhuoyuan listened to the silence on the other end where Nan Yu was, feeling as though his heart was being cut by a knife, and he instantly understood many issues.
"No wonder you were afraid to come back with me at the beginning. Were you afraid that Nan Qingqing would speak ill of you in front of our parents, afraid that they would be disappointed in you?"
"Big brother, I..."
Listening to Nan Yu’s unconfident voice, Nan Zhuoyuan clearly knew he had hit the nail on the head.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, his lips quivering and his eyes filled with pity for Nan Yu.
"Xiao Yu, I’m sorry, I should have realized sooner."
A crisp voice came from the other end.
"Big brother, it’s not your fault. It’s their problem. I didn’t expect that Nan Qingqing could earn their trust so quickly; I underestimated her."
Nan Zhuoyuan sighed, a flash of indignation in his eyes, "Xiao Yu, it’s that Nan Qingqing and her family that are disgusting."
Then he told her about everything that happened yesterday, without missing a single detail.
In the end, he said, "I called you today not only to tell you about this, but I also want to ask what we should do next?"
Nan Yu was silent for a few seconds, her tone uncertain, "Are you asking for my opinion?"
Nan Zhuoyuan adjusted his glasses, "Yes, Xiao Yu, you are my sister, we are a family. This family includes you too, so of course I want your opinion. I could even let you take charge of this matter, and just support you."
There was silence on the phone again, the only sound was Nan Yu’s shallow breathing.
Nan Zhuoyuan was afraid he had said something wrong and became immediately nervous, swallowing repeatedly and undoing the first button of his shirt to breathe more easily.
After what seemed like an eternity, Nan Yu finally spoke.
"Big brother, do you trust me?"
At these words, Nan Zhuoyuan’s heart leaped, and he licked his lips.
He exhaled, his expression more serious than ever.
"I trust you."
His words were resolute.
"Big brother, then wait for my news."
Nan Zhuoyuan did not ask further, "Okay!"
After hanging up, Li Xue, who was beside him, asked in confusion, "Zhuo Yuan, what do you think Xiao Yu will do?"
Nan Zhuoyuan clasped her hand tightly, "I don’t know, all I know is that we just need to trust her."
Li Xue gripped his hand in return, "Alright, then we’ll wait for her good news."
On the other side.
Nan Yu stretched her body and flipped through the photos of the report that Nan Zhuoyuan had sent her earlier.
She was engrossed in the last page of the report, at the very bottom.
Soon, she made up her mind.
She saved all the reports, along with those identification reports she had made previously.
She opened up her chat with her good friend X on WeChat.
[Rest enough, time to get to work.]
X’s profile picture animated a second later.
[Boss, I’ve finally been waiting for you to message me.]
Nan Yu sent him the document.
[X, use your best skills.]
X’s profile picture moved again.
[Boss, do I need to erase your name?]
Nan Yu looked down at the word "name" and tapped on the screen.
[No need.]
[Received, boss.]
The next second, X’s WeChat was quiet again.
Standing on the balcony, Nan Yu put away her phone and looked down at the violet flowers below.
She turned around to find paper and pen and began to sketch the violets casually.
With just a few strokes, the violet flowers on the paper seemed to come to life, spreading their petals and swaying gracefully.
After finishing her drawing, she casually placed it on the nightstand and then dug out her suitcase.
She had been keeping a piece of fine fabric, which would be perfect for making a blanket.
Soon, she found the piece of black fabric at the bottom—
Cool and breathable in summer, warm in winter, it was an excellent piece of fabric.
When she had auctioned for this fabric, it had cost her a whole three hundred thousand to win this piece.
"I hope Huo Juanyan will like it."
