Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg

Chapter 1133: His Protection

She is his sister, though only a cousin, but surely stronger than an outsider like Jiang Xue, isn’t she?

"Shut up!" Nangong Chen glanced coldly at the woman. She was indeed his cousin, but in Nangong Chen’s eyes, the people of the Nangong Family were no different from enemies.

Even though she was his cousin, she was also the daughter of the uncle who wished for his death every moment. Besides, Nangong Yao only sought his help when she made mistakes and never considered him as her cousin.

In Nangong Yao’s eyes, the position of Young Master of the Nangong Family should belong to her brother.

"Third Brother, even you bully me; I’m going to tell my father and the elders that you didn’t protect your family’s people but helped an outsider."

"Feel free!" Nangong Chen said coldly. If it had been before, he might have feared those people Nangong Yao mentioned. But over the past six months, Nangong Chen has gathered leverage over everyone.

Now, those people dare not say a word against him; otherwise, they would face the impending disgrace and the risk of being expelled from the family.

"Third Brother?" Nangong Yao realized toughness wouldn’t work, so she pretended to be pitiful and said: "Third Brother, you used to care for me; what’s wrong today?"

However, Nangong Chen completely ignored Nangong Yao and turned his eyes once again to Jiang Xue, then said, "Miss Jiang, could you please tell me what happened just now."

Someone spoke up for her, and it was Nangong Yao’s relative. Jiang Xue’s eyes flickered before she began recounting what had happened earlier.

After hearing Jiang Xue’s words, Nangong Chen looked sharply at Nangong Yao and said coldly, "Nangong Yao, as the Young Master of the Nangong Family, I command you to apologize to Miss Jiang!"

"No, I won’t. Why should I apologize to her? Clearly, she bumped into me, not I bumped into her?" With more and more onlookers gathering, many were children of noble families in Beijing. If they saw her apologize to a poor woman, wouldn’t she become a laughingstock?

Besides, she had always claimed how good Nangong Chen was to her. But now, Nangong Chen was asking her to apologize to a stranger, wasn’t that directly slapping her own face?

She wouldn’t do such a thing.

"Miss Nangong, right? I accidentally bumped into you; it was my fault, and I’ve already apologized. Isn’t it your turn now? Or would Miss Nangong prefer me to curse back? That’s fine, too. Since Miss Nangong refuses, I’ll return your words to you."

"You dare!" Nangong Yao glared at Jiang Xue, threatening her with her gaze. Being called blind would be even worse than having to apologize to Jiang Xue.

If Jiang Xue uttered those words, she would inevitably earn a nickname, ’Blind.’ And she certainly didn’t want such a term to follow her.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Jiang Xue spoke lightly, shifting Little Reunion from her left arm to her right before continuing, "I was holding a child earlier, maybe I didn’t see you coming out. But you’re different; you weren’t holding a child, were you? If you say I’m blind, then aren’t you even blinder?"

"Besides, you were so fierce just now, you scared my son, and I haven’t even asked you to apologize to him."

"He deserved to be scared; after all, he’s your son!" Nangong Yao glared at Jiang Xue, and her eyes were fixed on Little Reunion. If Little Reunion were her son, everyone would naturally respect and look up to him, so there would be nothing to scare.
