Chapter 647 - 649: Being Praised
Secondly, it also demonstrated her sincere attitude, putting everyone at ease;
Thirdly, she reminded everyone that her grandfather has a heart condition, hinting that they should be cautious with their questions. If something were to happen to the old man, the consequences would be more than a small journalist could bear! Additionally, this shows her filial piety and understanding, further impressing everyone with her intelligence and emotional intelligence.
Nangong Jinlie glanced at Xia Xiaonuan, his eyes filled with admiration.
"First of all, I would like to address the few questions everyone has asked." Nangong Jinlie spoke, and everyone quieted down, eagerly looking at him.
"As for the rumors about Ling’er, I heard about them when I returned this time. But the things reported are indeed puzzling to me.
Because I know the feelings between Ling’er and Xiaonuan. It’s impossible for them to have conflicts because of an external rumor, and divorce is even less likely.
So, there’s no need for everyone to worry about their marriage."
"However, Mr. Nangong, it’s said that Miss Jiang Xue is about to jump off a building in the city center. What do you think about this? It’s said that Prince Nangong has already rushed over. Does this mean that the Crown Prince still has feelings for Miss Jiang?"
"Oh? Is this true? I haven’t heard about it." Nangong Jinlie indeed exhibited his seasoned tactics, suddenly feigning ignorance, and his gaze naturally turned to Xiaonuan.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at each other in confusion.
"Young Madam Nangong, what do you think about this? Surely, you wouldn’t be unaware, right?" The journalist asked persistently.
Xia Xiaonuan glanced at Nangong Jinlie, then smiled at the journalist and said, "Of course I know, because I was the one who asked him to go." She looked at Nangong Jinlie again and said, "Grandfather, I apologize for the urgency; I informed Yaoling directly as lives were at stake, and didn’t have time to tell you."
Nangong Jinlie suddenly understood and nodded, "So that’s how it is... You did the right thing!" He looked at Xiaonuan, "No matter what, no matter how big the matter, nothing is more important than life!"
Xia Xiaonuan looked at the journalist and said, "Sorry... Yaoling and I didn’t expect such an incident to occur suddenly. Regarding Miss Jiang’s admiration for Yaoling, I can understand, after all, Yaoling is an excellent man. So, we deeply regret causing her any harm, and just hope no real incident occurs."
The journalist got excited, and a male journalist with glasses began to ask sharply:
"Do you mean to say that it has always been Miss Jiang’s unrequited feelings for the Crown Prince, and there is no romantic relationship between them? Can you explain the earlier photographs showing the Crown Prince and Miss Jiang together?"
Xia Xiaonuan was momentarily stunned by the question, but quickly regained her composure and smilingly retorted, "I’ve also gone out with Miss Jiang before, and we have even sung in a private room together. Is your next question asking whether Miss Jiang and I have an ambiguous relationship?"
Everyone was instantly amused by Xiaonuan’s humor, and the male journalist with glasses showed a trace of embarrassment.
With a single sentence, Xiaonuan effortlessly deflected his question and turned the issue back on him, leaving him speechless and indeed without a reply.
"Mrs. Nangong, you are truly a gracious and wise woman. No wonder Mr. Nangong is so fond of you," a female journalist couldn’t help but praise.
Xia Xiaonuan felt a bit embarrassed by the compliment.
