Chapter 112: Nan Gong Yu Wants to Expel Nan Gong Jue

Song Huan Yan's words really sound harsh.

It's definitely a provocation.

Moreover, the parents are still alive; this is truly very disrespectful.

Qiao An was stunned, her face turning red, feeling extremely embarrassed.

She was honestly quite confused.

She truly didn't know why Song Huan Yan treated her this way.

She wouldn't even feign a perfunctory response.

Song Huan Yan seemed obsessively unwilling to accept her toast.

The only thing Qiao An could think of was that she pursued Qin Zi Mo, making Song Huan Yan jealous and hating her.

And also the rumor last time that she had an abortion?

But hadn't she already punished and humiliated her?

She spread the rumor that Song Huan Yan had an abortion, but she didn't dare tell Nan Gong Jue or Nan Gong Lin.

Nevertheless, even if Song Huan Yan said it out loud, she had a countermeasure.

So she was unafraid.

Nan Gong Jue was also stunned.

He thought those words were utterly excessive!

Song Huan Yan's attitude was also extremely over the line.

It was downright unforgivable.

Among Aristocratic Families, as long as the relationship hasn't been completely severed, no one would speak so bluntly, completely disregarding the other's dignity.

A toast signifies respect and friendliness.

Song Huan Yan actually wouldn't even give that bit of face!

Gu Qinghe and Nan Gong Ren said nothing.

Nan Gong Lin was also quite surprised, but remained silent.

Only Nan Gong Yu was unruffled, completely calm.

He even deliberately served a dish to Song Huan Yan, placing it into her bowl.

His attitude was made very clear.

Now Qiao An's face hung in midair, just like her awkward toast posture—neither up nor down, embarrassingly suffocating.

She didn't even know whether to sit back down.

Then Nan Gong Jue pulled her to sit, and looked at Song Huan Yan, saying, "Elder Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

Although he used honorifics, everyone knew he was angry.

Song Huan Yan looked at him.

But before she could speak, Nan Gong Yu went first, saying, "The literal meaning—hard to understand?"

Nan Gong Jue's handsome face turned dark as night as he looked at Nan Gong Yu, "Big brother, are you this biased toward Elder Sister-in-law?"

Nan Gong Yu ignored him, instead staring at Qiao An with a cold, sharp gaze, bluntly exposing her, "Can't you just eat properly? You have to involve my wife in scheming? According to hierarchy, you should first respect your parents—why are you fixated on Song Huan Yan?"

Being scolded again by Nan Gong Yu, Qiao An felt deeply aggrieved, her eyes instantly reddening as tears fell, saying, "Big brother…"

"Who is your big brother?" Nan Gong Yu grew even more ruthless, irritated by her pretentious face.

Sweet and cute?

Nan Gong Yu really disliked that, like a child, and this pretended childlike expression and behavior made him feel nauseated.

They're all adults; why pretend to be innocent?

Moreover, in his view, innocence equals stupidity, and he detests stupidity.

Nan Gong Yu's voice grew colder as he said directly, "I'm not your big brother; clarify your status before speaking to me. Do you think I'm so easy to cling to?"

Nan Gong Yu was even less merciless than Song Huan Yan.

Qiao An burst into tears; she had already been deeply moved by Nan Gong Yu and had fallen for him.

But this lofty man treated her like this.

He scolded her at the slightest provocation.

She hadn't done anything.

Is there something wrong with toasting?

Qiao An felt very uncomfortable, but two seconds later, she felt an inexplicable sensation inside.

Although Nan Gong Yu berated her again harshly, she felt it was also a form of acknowledgment.

Nan Gong Jue saw her crying, couldn't stand it, felt his own face was utterly ruined, looked at Nan Gong Yu and forcefully said, "I made her call me that."

Nan Gong Yu looked at him, also very forceful—more so—and said without yielding, "Did you marry her? What right does she have to call me big brother?"

Nan Gong Jue suddenly became truly angry; he didn't understand why Nan Gong Yu kept targeting Qiao An.

And also Song Huan Yan.

Nan Gong Jue took a deep breath, but before he could speak, Nan Gong Yu turned to Qiao An again, "Even if you've already married in, sister‑in‑law discord is normal. If there's discord, let it be; there's no need for a fake toast apology. You eat your own meal, Song Huan Yan eats hers; why must you cling to her? Do you just love stirring up trouble?"

Qiao An, having her thoughts exposed, turned even more red‑cheeked and flustered, her grievances spilling tears like a spring.

Perhaps her pride couldn't bear it; she cried, stood up, bent over desperately and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Afterward she looked at Nan Gong Jue, choking out through tears, "Sorry, I'm leaving now."

Qiao An lifted her foot to leave, but Nan Gong Jue hurriedly grabbed her.

Qiao An sobbed, "Brother Jue, please don't hold me. I don't belong here. Big brother and Elder Sister-in-law somehow hate me so much."

She cried very plaintively; the more she said that, the more Nan Gong Jue refused to let go, growing angrier.

He forcibly pulled Qiao An to sit down, looked at Nan Gong Yu, and said, "You said she hasn't married me yet; I'll marry her tomorrow!"

Nan Gong Yu, upon hearing that, lost his temper, raised his hand and slapped his chopsticks on the table, "How dare you."

Nan Gong Jue said, "What is there that I wouldn't dare? She's the one I like! Big brother, why are you treating her like this?"

Nan Gong Yu's face turned ashen. "Are you a Love Brain? Last night I said something to you and you didn't absorb a single word. Today your Elder Sister-in-law gave you candy—a perfectly fine thing—yet she stirred it into a mess, and you think that's fine. A meal was going smoothly, and suddenly you have to pay respects to your Elder Sister-in-law. She knows your Elder Sister-in-law dislikes her, yet she insists on pulling your Elder Sister-in-law in; when your Elder Sister-in-law refuses, it becomes the mistake. Haven't you seen clearly?"

Nan Gong Jue looked at Song Huan Yan and asked, "Why don't you like Qiao An? Don't you have any sense?"

Nan Gong Lin finally couldn't hold back and said, "Because of that ex‑boyfriend."

Nan Gong Yu finally was beyond anger, having drunk again and still not cutting back.

Thunderously angry, he slammed the table, "How audacious!"

A few bodyguards and Meng Zhangfeng immediately stepped forward.

Nan Gong Yu stared at the two siblings, "Both of you, roll straight to the Ancestral Hall and stay there; you may not return until tomorrow. You."

Nan Gong Yu looked at Qiao An, "Get out. You don't deserve to enter the Nangong Family Mansion."

Qiao An was terrified; she had never seen a man whose temper could shatter someone's courage.

She immediately began to cry even harder, begged forgiveness desperately, and then tried to leave.

Nan Gong Jue still held her, looked at Nan Gong Yu, "She is not allowed to leave. She's the one I like; I said I'll marry her tomorrow. I won't go kneel in the Ancestral Hall either. Big brother, I'm not wrong. You protect the one you love; I protect the one I love!"

Nan Gong Yu felt dizzy with anger.

Song Huan Yan said nothing at this moment; now Nan Gong Yu was the one making decisions.

"Fine." Nan Gong Yu nodded. "Being a serious, responsible man is fine; once you choose, you must bear the consequences. As Head of the Family, I do not approve of you marrying her. If you insist on marrying, I'll grant you freedom, but you will face Expulsion from the Nan Gong family. So, do you dare to marry?"

Nan Gong Jue looked at him, "Since childhood you have led by example, showing me what it means to be upright and towering; what is there I wouldn't dare?"

"Good." Nan Gong Yu said, "You are truly a man of the Nan Gong family. If you dare to marry, I dare to publicly announce your Expulsion."

Nan Gong Jue also nodded, "As you wish."

The two brothers somehow escalated to such a serious level in an instant.

Song Huan Yan looked at Nan Gong Yu, wanted to speak, but for a moment couldn't think of what to say.

The crucial point was that Nan Gong Ren and Gu Qinghe hadn't said a single word.

"Since that's the case," Nan Gong Yu said, "Get out, go be affectionate with your beloved. Without the title of the second young master of the Nan Gong family, let's see whether your beloved will change their face."

Nan Gong Jue looked at him, "Big brother, I also have my own abilities."

Nan Gong Yu said, "Hmm, I'm pleased. Changfeng, see Mr. Nan Gong Jue out."

Meng Zhangfeng lowered his head, "Yes."

Qiao An's eyes widened; she was shocked as if the heavens were collapsing.

What the heck?

Nan Gong Jue was expelled from the family?

No, Nan Gong Yu is this cold and ruthless?

No one dares to speak.

Nan Gong Lin also fell silent; big brother was truly thunderously angry.

Meng Zhangfeng stepped forward, "Second Young Master."

Nan Gong Jue stood up, "If you're leaving, then leave."

After speaking, he grabbed Qiao An, "Let's go."

Qiao An's face was full of shock and a frantic expression; she really didn't want to go!

"Big brother." Qiao An tried to say something.

Nan Gong Jue replied, "What big brother? He's not one anymore."

Hearing that, Song Huan Yan furrowed his brows and turned to look at Nan Gong Yu.

Sure enough, Nan Gong Yu had closed his eyes and said nothing.

Nan Gong Jue's words were too hurtful.

Gu Qinghe said directly, "Since you don't recognize your big brother, hurry up and leave; don't be an eyesore here."

The Nan Gong family's rule: the Head of the Family's decision, if not opposed, must be absolutely supported.

Therefore, even though they are dearly loved sons, Gu Qinghe would never question his eldest son.

Nan Gong Jue looked at Gu Qinghe.

Gu Qinghe said, "Nangong Yichen, how much your big brother has sacrificed for this family—have you forgotten? Fine, even if you have forgotten, you should still trust your big brother's judgment of people."

Nan Gong Yu has been stripped of his personal freedom since the age of three.

He must be like a machine, constantly learning, constantly perfecting, constantly moving forward.

He has no childhood, no self, no time, only the identity of heir.

He must be brave, must be strong, must be the best, must be outstanding.

The Nan Gong family was already strong; in his hands it became even stronger.

The family's absolute glory and absolute status, the luxurious lifestyle, the massive enormous wealth—all were obtained by him sacrificing himself and working tirelessly.

Aren't they all for the family to enjoy?

Who can be like him, when he's at his busiest he works for days and nights without stopping, not daring to collapse.

He has no classmates, no friends; in such a huge organization, not a single slip can occur.

He held it alone, and only at thirty‑one did he finally get married.

But after marriage, just over a month has passed, and he's only been with his wife for two days.

Returning to the Old Mansion, it was still roiled with black smoke and miasma.

Gu Qinghe was also very angry.

Song Huan Yan didn't expect that a decent meal would end up like this.

But she doesn't regret refusing Qiao An.

Everyone has something they want to hold onto, and she is no exception!

Lord Nan Gong hesitated for a second and said, "I haven't forgotten. But I'm not wrong. This is also what big brother taught me: resolutely protect the people and things you wish to protect, even if it means being pulverized to pieces, without fear."

After speaking, he grabbed Qiao An and was about to leave.

How could Qiao An possibly want to leave?

Without the Nan Gong Clan identity, what will she do in the future?

She is supposed to marry into the wealth‑so‑powerful Nan Gong Clan, not Lord Nan Gong.

After all, Lord Nan Gong is not Nan Gong Yu.

The man whose wealth can rival a nation is Nan Gong Yu; Lord Nan Gong only basks in the glory.

Although Lord Nan Gong also has money, assets, and ability, … how can he compare to Nan Gong Yu?

Qiao An was anxious to death and would not agree to go.

Stubbornly standing, she involuntarily said, "Nan Gong Yu, how can you do this? He's your younger brother! How can you drive your own younger brother out of the house???"
