Chapter 576 - 578: She Really Only Cares About Money
Nangong Jinlie saw his appearance and immediately felt a surge of anger. No matter how old Nangong Yaoling was, in his eyes, he was still just a child.
In the study.
Nangong Yaoling looked at Nangong Jinlie in disbelief: "Grandpa, you mean you want me to please Xiaonuan? And then remarry her?"
"Remarry? You brat, did you get my permission when you divorced? As long as I haven’t signed off, you two are still husband and wife!" Nangong Jinlie said coldly.
"Grandpa... I... we have no feelings for each other anymore. What’s the point of being forced together? Why are you doing this?" Nangong Yaoling’s handsome face wrinkled with frustration. The thought of having to continue to please Xia Xiaonuan infuriated him. That woman was born to be his nemesis. After all she did to him, he definitely didn’t want to keep sticking his warm face to her cold one.
"Why!" Nangong Jinlie slapped the table and stood up angrily. "I haven’t even confronted you about the matter with Jiang Xue! What, you want to bring in those disreputable women and make one of them my granddaughter-in-law?"
"Grandpa... Jiang Xue is not like what you think." Instinctively, Nangong Yaoling felt uncomfortable when someone mentioned Jiang Xue.
"You still want to defend her?" Nangong Jinlie said coldly. "I warn you, cut off all ties with her at once. Neither I nor your parents will approve of her. Now, you have only one choice: attend the press conference with Xiaonuan. Otherwise, you will hand over all your rights and get yourself back to Europe!"
Nangong Yaoling saw the serious look on Nangong Jinlie’s face and knew that any argument was useless. Anyway, the old man would be returning to the country in a few days. Once he was abroad again, he wouldn’t be able to interfere in their lives anymore, right?
"Anyway, I will not please that woman anymore! Even if you want her to be with me again, she wouldn’t agree!" Nangong Yaoling suddenly remembered something.
Xia Xiaonuan, that woman, couldn’t wait to get rid of him. Why would she easily reconcile with him now?
"I’ve already talked to Xiaonuan. You’re in luck; she agreed only for the sake of the Xia Family! You better behave yourself. Just do as I say!" Nangong Jinlie tapped the table with his finger.
Nangong Yaoling: "..."
Xia Xiaonuan is indeed a woman who only cares about money! She even agreed to such a thing for the Xia Family.
Nangong Yaoling thought bitterly.
...
Xia Xiaonuan left the old house and was about to head to the company.
Just after stepping out, she received a call from Director Jin.
"Xiaonuan, a lot of reporters came to the set today. I think you should lay low for a few days and not come to the company for a while."
Xiaonuan was taken aback and quickly smiled, "Director Jin, I’m sorry for causing trouble for the crew again."
"It’s no trouble," Jin Zhengyuan said with a smile. "Take these days to rest and unwind. Don’t worry about the crew. Your spot is always there for you!"
Xiaonuan felt warm inside, "Thank you, Director Jin."
After hanging up the phone, Xiaonuan told the taxi driver, "Driver, to the People’s Hospital, please."
On the set, Yang Zi’er was practicing in ancient costume with tassels on her head. Hearing Jin Zhengyuan’s shouted instructions, she sarcastically waved her handkerchief with long fingernail covers, "Director, Xiaonuan really has the qualifications to act! She hasn’t filmed much, but the scandals are already plenty, always making headlines. Those who know her would understand it’s personal issues. Those who don’t might think our crew is trying to create hype!"
