Chapter 336: Looking Down
When the two of them came out, Hei Ying and Fang Ming had already taken out their luggage. There was also someone picking them up at the gate.
Someone from the Nangong family came to pick them up.
It was a man in his fifties. Nangong Jue called him “Uncle Fu”. It was said that he was the second butler of the Nangong family. His name was Zhong Fu.
Zhong Fu called Nangong Jue “Young Master Jue”. Although he looked respectful, there was not much respect in his eyes. Instead, there was a hint of disdain.
Le Yao didn’t like Uncle Fu at first sight.
However, she wouldn’t show it. She greeted Uncle Fu politely.
Zhong Fu was actually a little surprised because he knew that Nangong Jue was divorced. He didn’t expect Nangong Jue to bring her over for this anniversary celebration. For a moment, he didn’t know how to address her.
Le Yao knew that the people of the main Nangong family looked down on the Nangong family. Han Binglan had never interacted with this second butler before, so he did not have any memories for her to refer to. However, she could tell that this person was very disdainful of them, so there was no need for her to curry favor with him. It was fine as long as she had enough face.
As for how to address her, that was up to him.
If even a butler was like this, one could imagine what the Nangong family was like.
She seemed to sympathize with this man even more.
Nangong Jue didn’t even explain and walked out with Le Yao.
Zhong Fu came back to his senses immediately and jogged to the front to lead the way.
There were two cars parked outside. One was a business car and the other was an SUV. Nangong Jue pulled Le Yao into the business car. Fang Ming and Tao Qing also got into this car while Hei Ying got into the SUV behind.
The car quickly left the airport and drove along the airport highway towards the city.
October could be said to be the best season in Beijing. It was autumn and refreshing. Along the way, they could see many red maple leaves.
An hour and a half later, they finally got off the airport expressway and entered the city. The car began to slow down.
“Young master Jue, Master asked me to send you to the hotel first, then…” Zhong Fu, who was in the front passenger seat, looked back at Nangong Jue.
“No need. Send us to Wen Garden.” Nangong Jue refused directly.
“But…”
“No buts.”
Zhong Fu stopped talking and only instructed the chauffeur to go to Wen Garden.
Le Yao frowned. Logically speaking, when the son returned, he should return to the old residence first no matter what. In the end, he was sent to a hotel. They were simply not acknowledging Nangong Jue.
She glanced at the man beside her and suddenly sympathized with him.
Nangong Jue’s expression was normal, and no changes in his emotions could be seen.
Soon, the car arrived at Wen Garden.
Only then did Le Yao know that Wen Garden was a lakeside villa. Although it was not the city center, the environment was not bad. The surroundings were like a park.
The car stopped. Nangong Jue pulled Le Yao out of the car and walked in without looking back.
“Young master Jue.” Zhong Fu hurriedly called out.
“Go back. I know the rules. I’ll go to the old residence tonight. I won’t delay the banquet tomorrow,” Nangong Jue entered Wen Garden without looking back,
Hei Ying and the others also followed in with their luggage.
Zhong Fu hesitated at the door and left with the car in the end.
Someone from Wen Garden came out to welcome them. It was a slightly chubby foreign woman, probably in her forties or fifties. She smiled when she saw Nangong Jue and spoke in English with a certain accent. “Young master Jue, you’re finally back.” Then, she looked at Le Yao. “This is Young Madam, right? She’s so beautiful…”.
