“Let’s go over and eat something. The banquet won’t be long, and the food in the hotel is not bad.” Nangong Jue held Le Yao’s hand calmly and walked to the food area. “The Earl Hotel has very strict requirements for chefs. The ingredients are all top-notch. This beef grain is very good. Do you want to try it?”
Le Yao nodded.
Nangong Jue personally took a plate and picked up some food for her that he thought was good. He even asked the attendant for a cup of hot fruit juice.
Because Le Yao was wearing high heels, she was quite tired after walking all the way. She sat there calmly and enjoyed Nangong Jue’s service.
After eating two pieces of beef, He Rong came in. Then, she saw Nangong Jue and Le Yao at a glance and rushed over. “Ah Jue, how can you be here? Let’s go to the lounge at the back. You’re also a part of the
Nangong family.”
Nangong Jue looked up at He Rong coldly.
He Rong’s hand, which was about to pull Nangong Jue, froze. Then, she smiled awkwardly. “Ah Jue, you have to fight for it. You have a share in the Nangong family.”
“Even if you don’t find it embarrassing, I do.”
“You… How can you say that?” A look of hurt flashed across He Rong’s face. “I’m doing this for your own good, Ah Jue. I’m your mother.”
“I’d rather be born from a rock.” Nangong Jue didn’t hide his disgust.
He Rong seemed to have been dealt a blow and her body swayed.
Shan Huaming hurriedly reached out to support He Rong. He glanced at Nangong Jue and didn’t dare to say anything in the end.
Nangong Jue sneered. “He Rong, you can really go for anything.”
Shan Huaming shivered and did not dare to meet the other party’s gaze. Instead, he subconsciously shrank behind He Rong, trying his best to reduce his presence.
“This is my boyfriend, Ah Jue. You have to call him Uncle.” When He Rong heard Nangong Jue mention Shan Huaming, she immediately perked up and pulled the man over. “We’re very close now.” The last time she went to Xiling, she was packed up and sent back as soon as they met. She didn’t even go further with this man. Fortunately, she arranged to meet him in another city and booked a room in a hotel first. She didn’t expect this man to be so good, so she brought him straight to Beijing.
“Is he worthy?” Nangong Jue narrowed his eyes slightly.
“You—
However, Nangong Jue was unwilling to pay attention to those two anymore. He went over and picked up a piece of cake for Le Yao. He was about to say something when his phone rang. “I’m going to answer a
call.”
Le Yao nodded.
Nangong Jue took his phone and left the multipurpose hall.
He Rong didn’t dare to flare up at her son, but that didn’t mean she didn’t dare to flare up at Le Yao. Especially when she saw her son leave, she immediately became more confident. “Han Binglan, why didn’t you greet your elders? What kind of upbringing is that?”
Le Yao:
‘See, she’s been implicated again.’
However, on account of the other party’s age, she did not argue with her. She immediately revealed a sweet smile. “Hello, Auntie.”
He Rong:
“I’m your mother-in-law.”
Was she that old? Auntie? What kind of title was that? This little b*tch did it on purpose, right?
“Auntie He, have you forgotten? I’m divorced from Nangong Jue. So, I’m respecting you by calling you Auntie. If you don’t like this form of address, I can change it. Why don’t I call you Auntie He?” “You…” He Rong raised her hand and slapped Le Yao..
