Chapter 645 - 646 Let’s Face It Together
Nangong Yaoling’s entire body trembled.
The call on the other end had already been cut off.
Nangong Yaoling glanced at the door of the private room, knocked his forehead with his hand, and said to the nearby bodyguard, "If Grandpa asks, just tell him I have something to do outside and will be back shortly."
"Yes, Young Master!"
After speaking, Nangong Yaoling hurriedly ran outside.
...
Xia Xiaonuan checked the time.
Qin Yi walked back in from outside, looked around, and couldn’t help but ask, "Young Mistress, where is the Young Master? It’s about to start, you should be outside."
Nangong Jinlie called out towards the outside, "Ling’er!"
At this moment, a bodyguard stepped forward and said to Nangong Jinlie, "Elder Sir, the Young Master just asked me to tell you that he has left for a while and will be back shortly."
Nangong Jinlie was taken aback.
At this moment, another bodyguard stepped forward and said, "Elder Sir, Young Mistress... Mr. Qin, there is a commotion among the reporters outside, they are demanding to see the Young Mistress and the Young Master..."
Xia Xiaonuan gritted her teeth; at this critical moment, Nangong Yaoling had actually left!
If the press conference is canceled now, the reporters will definitely not agree.
Moreover, who knows what rumors might spread at that time.
At this moment, another bodyguard stepped forward and said, "Elder Sir... Young Mistress... there are rumors that Miss Jiang Xue is going to jump off a building, and everyone is speculating whether this has something to do with the absence of the Young Master and Young Mistress."
"Outrageous——!" Nangong Jinlie shouted, angrily smashing his cane.
"Ling’er, that child, is truly thoughtless! At such a moment, he can still be swayed by that vixen outside!"
Xia Xiaonuan saw Nangong Jinlie’s anger and quickly persuaded, "Grandpa, please don’t worry. After all, a human life is at stake, it is understandable even if he really went."
Nangong Jinlie looked at her with comfort, "Xiaonuan, it is unfair to you!"
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head, but inwardly sneered, Jiang Xue, you sure know how to choose the timing!
"Qin Yi, go tell the reporters that the press conference is temporarily canceled. In such a situation, if Xiaonuan goes out, won’t she be torn to pieces by them like machine gun fire?"
"Yes, Elder Sir!" Qin Yi replied respectfully, turning and intending to leave.
"Wait a moment!" Xia Xiaonuan thought for a while, then suddenly called out to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi turned his head.
Xia Xiaonuan lowered her head and looked at Nangong Jinlie, "Grandpa, since it has already happened, we must face it. It’s okay, I’ll go and talk to the reporters!"
Nangong Jinlie said seriously, "Xiaonuan, this is no child’s play. You know those reporters can ask the most unpleasant questions. Are you sure you want to go?"
Xia Xiaonuan clenched her fists, "Grandpa, don’t worry, I won’t disgrace the Nangong Family!"
Nangong Jinlie looked at her with a bit more admiration in his eyes.
"Alright, Xiaonuan, since you say so, Grandpa will go with you! We will face it together!"
Xia Xiaonuan asked excitedly, "Grandpa, can you... can you really?" She knew that in this situation, Nangong Jinlie’s presence carried more weight than anyone else.
The Nangong Group was founded by Nangong Jinlie himself. If he appeared with Xia Xiaonuan in front of the reporters, even without saying anything, it would already prove that she firmly held the position of the Young Mistress.
Because there was no one more authoritative than Nangong Jinlie!
"Why not? If my grandson’s wife can be so courageous, why can’t I step up?" Nangong Jinlie said with a smile.
Xia Xiaonuan also smiled, holding onto Nangong Jinlie’s somewhat rough hand, she said emotionally, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
