Chapter 144 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind
The plane was flying steadily, and Nangong Jin kept supporting his head with his hands, staring at the thick clouds outside the window!
Eleven sat next to her, worrying himself to death. Ever since he brought Nangong Jin back from King, she had been looking listless, lifeless, and silent!
Nangong Jin maintained this state until the plane landed. The moment they returned to the imperial capital, Nangong Jin's cell phone rang urgently, breaking it!
“Hello?…” Nangong Jin’s expression suddenly changed significantly. She said to the person on the other end of the phone calmly, “Wait for me at home!”
"Eleven, let's go home!"
After she finished speaking, she strode forward with her luggage. At this moment, she seemed to have turned back into the original Nangong Jin, as if the her who appeared before was just an illusion!
The car sped along the way, and soon the two of them arrived at the villa. Nangong Jin got out of the car first and walked quickly into the house!
"Brother, I'm back!"
Nangong Hao knew she was back when the car arrived, but when he saw Nangong Jin, his brows knitted slightly, "What's wrong with you?"
Before he could finish his words, Nangong Jin hugged him and said, "I'm fine, I just miss my brother!"
Her rare softness and fragility made Nangong Hao helplessly rub her hair, "If you are tired, then go and rest first..."
"I'm fine..." She glanced at Nangong Zhi who was standing not far away, and then continued: "Let's go to the study and talk! Brother!"
Nangong Hao was also surprised at first that Nangong Zhi was here. He hadn't been back to the Nangong family recently, so there were some things he didn't know! He had never had any special feelings for his half-sister!
It was not until the two of them disappeared at the stairs that Nangong Zhi's tense body relaxed. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been afraid of Nangong Hao!
Seventeen looked at her lonely expression and quickly went up to comfort her: "Miss, maybe you were busy with something, so you didn't have time to talk to you!"
But Nangong Zhili ignored him and went straight upstairs, leaving Seventeen scratching his head in embarrassment!
"Brother, you said you had something urgent to tell me, what is it?"
Nangong Jin asked casually while pouring water for him!
"Yesterday, the old lady had a sudden illness and was sent to the hospital. Then Shen Qianyu asked the lawyer to show two authorization documents! Guess what they are?"
Nangong Jin paused when she heard this, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, "Tell me about it!"
"Both legal documents have grandma's signature. One of them makes Shen Qianyu her guardian, so if we want to visit her in the hospital now, we must get Shen Qianyu's consent..."
Nangong Jin gently put down the cup of water, "So she blocked you from entering the ward?"
Nangong Hao glanced at her, cleared his throat and continued, "The second one is to let Liang Shuang take full charge of all the affairs of the company on her behalf!"
“Nangong Jin, did you do something behind my back? Why aren’t you surprised at all?!”
Hearing this, Nangong Jin looked innocent, "This kind of drama of fighting for family property is nothing new to me when I was a lawyer! I guess you must have verified the authenticity of the signature, so you came to discuss it with me, right?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Hao just picked up the cup and drank the water without directly answering her question!
"Brother, don't worry about them, we just need to wait and see what happens!"
Nangong Jin looked so confident that Nangong Hao couldn't say anything more. "Since you know what's going on, I won't interfere in this matter anymore!"
"Brother, just wait patiently, I will give you a big gift!"
Nangong Jin looked determined to win, which made Nangong Hao suddenly chuckle, "Okay, then I'll wait!"
After he finished speaking, he pulled out the chair and stood up to leave, but behind him he heard Nangong Jin’s joke: “Brother, say hello to my sister-in-law for me!”
Nangong Hao glared at her with embarrassment on his face, and left the study in a panic!
Watching his disappearing back, the smile on Nangong Jin's face instantly disappeared, and she dialed the phone slowly: "Brother, please help me draft a document..."
After finishing all this, she sat in front of the desk, silent for a long time, before she took out the information that King gave her from her briefcase!
There was a thick stack of information, which listed every asset transferred from Nangong Group. The amount was huge, and the account changes were frequent recently. Then Nangong Jin set his eyes on the account holder column. Surprisingly, the person on it was not Shen Qianyu or Liang Shuang, but a person with the abbreviation of LI!
Nangong Jin held the information tightly in his hand, staring at the name thoughtfully, muttering to himself: "Is there a third person?!
Ever since she learned that He Zichen was still alive, it undoubtedly gave her a shot in the arm, making her feel that she could still hold on!
Suddenly her stomach growled. She came to her senses and touched her stomach with a self-deprecating look: "I'm so sorry, I forgot you didn't eat for a day!"
When she went downstairs, Eleven had already prepared dinner and everyone was waiting for her to eat!
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's eat!"
During the meal, Nangong Zhi kept glancing at Nangong Jin as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. With such an obvious action, coupled with Seventeen's silly look, it was hard for Nangong Jin not to notice it!
"Tell me! What's the matter?"
"Miss... can I really go to Xinglan College tomorrow?"
She kept her head down and spoke in a timid voice, completely different from the spoiled young lady she used to be. Whenever Nangong Jin saw her like this, he always felt uncomfortable!
"I mean what I said. I've had the new school uniform dry-cleaned and put it in my room. You can pick it up later. Get up early tomorrow and don't be late. I have no obligation to wake you up, and I don't have time to wait for you. I'm very busy!"
"I know, sis! No…Miss!"
Nangong Jin first glanced at Seventeen who was sitting next to her with an excited look on his face, then looked depressed. It's really true that men cannot be kept back when they grow up!
Early the next morning, there was a clanging noise in the kitchen downstairs. Nangong Jin got up very early because he hadn't slept well, so he went downstairs to check when he heard the noise!
Nangong Zhi was seen wearing an apron, clumsily preparing breakfast. Nangong Jin looked at the gray sky outside the window, turned and left with a complicated look!
When Nangong Jin went downstairs again as if nothing had happened, Nangong Zhi had already changed into her school uniform and was waiting obediently by the dining table!
"Miss...it's time for breakfast!"
"Ok!"
The two of them were enjoying their meal, each with their own thoughts, when suddenly Nangong Jin asked out of the blue, "What color do you like?"
Nangong Zhi paused holding the knife and fork when she heard this. After thinking for a while, she said shyly, "Pink!"
Nangong Jin looked a little unnatural when she heard this. She glanced at Eleven and said, "I'm full. I'll call you later!"
Eleven immediately followed Nangong Jin out, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Eleven, is there a pink car in our garage?"
Her voice sounded muffled, as if she had no hope, but Eleven nodded: "Yes! It's a brand new limited edition supercar!"
"Where did it come from?" Nangong Jin really couldn't understand why He Zichen had a pink car!
"That was President He Zichen. He...he just bought it before he disappeared! He said it was a New Year's gift for the young lady!"
Eleven's voice was not loud, but it was deafening to Nangong Jin, making her tears well up in her eyes. She could only turn her back to Eleven, raise her head, and take a deep breath: "Let's go!"
