Fu…Fu Jingheng?
Nan Yan was stunned. She wanted to answer, and she even moved her lips, but when she saw his handsome, cold face, she suddenly couldn’t speak. She could only smile awkwardly at him. Luckily, at this time, her phone rang. Nan Yan saw the word brother on the screen, so she whispered, “Sorry,” and answered the phone.
“Brother, what’s the matter?” Nan Yan leaned to the side, not deliberately avoiding Fu Jingheng’s gaze, as she spoke.
“Yan Yan, did you go to the Fu family’s house with Dad?” Nan Mowen’s worried voice came over the line.
“Yes.” Nan Yan responded briskly.
“What happened?”
“What else could happen? Naturally, we called the marriage off.”
“That’s good, but that’s a bit too easy on that little b*stard, Fu Xiao.” Nan Mo was also relieved, but he was still uneasy. After all, his baby sister had been bullied. He had already felt a bit disdainful toward Fu Xiao previously. Now, he really had the urge to beat him up.
Nan Mo was the second son of the Nan family and the twin of Nan Xian. The difference in age between the two was only a few minutes. He was in charge of the Nan family’s hotel chain and a young leader in the hotel industry. Under his leadership, the Nan Corporation was in full swing. For five consecutive years, the Nan family had maintained second place on the Luo City’s Fortune List. Nan Mo was indispensable. He had a relatively gentle personality, but he was known for doting on his younger sister.
“As for the specifics, let’s talk about it when Dad and I get back.” Upon hearing Nan Mo’s indignant tone, Nan Yan smiled. From the corners of her eyes, she inadvertently glanced at Fu Jingheng, said good-bye, and ended the phone call.
Fu Jingheng looked at the smile on her face, and a sullen expression flashed in his eyes. He walked past her.
Nan Yan was a little taken aback. She turned around and looked at Fu Jingheng’s back leaving without saying good-bye. She was a little baffled and couldn’t figure him out. She curled her lips up and murmured, “So moody and weird.”
Nan Yan didn’t spend two minutes thinking about this small incident that had happened with Fu Jingheng. She walked around the courtyard, enjoying herself. She had always been free-spirited. She really didn’t care much about this small matter of having her marriage called off. As for how the outside world judged the matter, she didn’t care at all.
After dining at the Fu family’s house at noon, Nan Yan and Nan Shang went back to Nanyuan together. Because she had woken up too early that morning, she was extremely sleepy. After being caught up and questioned by Nan Mo, who had returned from a business trip and had been waiting to see her for a long time, she finally was able to return to her familiar big bed.
During the next two days, the news of the nullification of marital ties between the Fu family and the Nan family rapidly spread throughout the city. However, the two families both gave the same reasons for the nullification and seemed to have maintained good relations, so all those with ulterior motives stopped gossiping.
Only Fu Xiao was still a little uncomfortable, as some netizens who had mocked Nan Yan before now mocked him as well, saying that he was too petty and, though he appeared high-minded, was actually a scumbag. Even photos of him on dates with his girlfriend were exposed. For a while, Fu Xiao became a target of public criticism.
Nan Yan couldn’t help but feel happy when she saw all those comments. With pleasure, she could imagine how unsightly Fu Xiao’s proud face would be when he read what people were saying about him online.
While she was observing everything with gleeful amusement, she got a phone call. Nan Yan pressed the answer button, but, before she could speak, a clear, beautiful voice came from the other end of the phone. “Yan Yan, where are you? This is urgent, help!”
