Chapter 88: How Did You Come Back?

The manager stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped her face four times, shouting, "Even if the Heavenly King and the Earthly Old Lord come today, they still have to compensate Miss Song and apologize!"

The sister who was hit the worst got even more agitated, covering her face and shouting, "Do you know who Qiao An's fiancé is...."

She stopped mid‑sentence.

Then from the banquet hall entrance, the server in charge of greeting guests shouted loudly, "Mr. Nan Gong has arrived!"

The whole banquet hall erupted again.

Mr. Nan Gong?

The Nangong Hotel owner?

What would such a big boss be doing in this banquet hall?

Could it be.... Qiao An's fiancé!?

No wonder Qiao An is acting like this!

She even dares to secretly scheme against her own boss!

Song Huan Yan frowned sharply upon hearing that.

Mr. Nan Gong....

Tang Chenge whispered, "Yan Yan, has Lord Yu returned?"

Song Huan Yan shook her head, "No."

Sang Wan widened her eyes, "I go, could it be Qiao An's fiancé? Is the Big Turtle… Nan Gong's second son?"

Song Huan Yan raised an eyebrow, "That can't be, it should be Lord Yu who summoned him."

She thought that if Lord Nan Gong came, it must have been summoned by Nan Gong Yu.

That would be good, not only the manager was called.

Even the master himself showed up; that's more intimidating than the hotel manager.

Now it doesn't matter who the person behind Qiao An is…

However, just as Song Huan Yan thought of that, she immediately dismissed the idea.

…The Big Turtle really is Lord Nan Gong!

Because Qiao An suddenly said cheerfully, "Finally, it's here!"

The other few sisters also wore smug, triumphant smiles.

Then they followed Qiao An to greet her fiancé.

Song Huan Yan: "....."

Sang Wan and Tang Chenge: "....."

Very well.

So that's it.

No wonder they're so arrogant.

Indeed, if it's Lord Nan Gong speaking, he does have the capital to be that arrogant.

No wonder they dare to do this openly at Nangong Hotel; no wonder outsiders can't get in.

Song Huan Yan felt she should have thought of it earlier, but… it was truly impossible to consider it that way.

She really hadn't thought of it!

"Finally we get to see the living Turtle," Sang Wan said, "but actually… haha."

Sang Wan couldn't hold back.

Tang Chenge continued, "It's like a flood washing over the Dragon King Temple! If it's Lord Nan Gong, wouldn't he have to respectfully call you Elder Sister‑in‑law? Could he even let Qiao An bounce around?"

Song Huan Yan's mood was truly complicated.

Indeed.

Qiao An couldn't bounce up.

But the Turtle turned out to be a younger uncle…

But… it's uncertain.

Given how arrogant Qiao An is, Lord Nan Gong clearly treats her well!

He dotes on her.

Last time's Coffee Cake, and even a special phone call scolding Tang's father…

If Lord Nan Gong really likes Qiao An.

Qiao An would still be able to bounce…

Song Huan Yan suddenly recalled that Nan Gong Yu once said Lord Nan Gong had a childhood White Moonlight.

So… it's Qiao An!

Since Song Huan Yan and the others were seated at the Main Seat, they were a bit far from the banquet hall entrance.

Moreover, the company staff were already scattered, and from their position they couldn't see the incoming people at a glance.

But they could faintly hear almost all the staff whispering, "So handsome!"

Song Huan Yan thought, hmm, Lord Nan Gong really is quite handsome.

Soon, the newcomer walked to the center of the banquet hall.

Now Song Huan Yan and the others finally saw.

Upon seeing him, Song Huan Yan was stunned.

Sang Wan and Tang Chenge were also stunned.

Qiao An, who had been eager to go up with her sisters to greet, was also taken aback.

Sang Wan looked at Song Huan Yan, "You… didn't you say Lord Yu hadn't returned?"

Song Huan Yan stared at the man walking toward her, still unable to regain her composure.

She instinctively shook her head, "I don't know."

Qiao An, who stepped forward to greet him, was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered.

She lifted a smile and greeted, "Big brother, why are you here? Oh, did Brother Ajue send you? Look, he really is… Actually, there was no need to go to such lengths and disturb you…"

Qiao An said a string of polite words, but Nan Gong Yu didn't even pause his steps, nor did he respond to her.

He strode past her in large, swift steps.

Behind him followed Meng Zhangfeng and Chu Yue.

Further back… was his personal bodyguard.

The group walked with unparalleled elegance, an invincible aura, and decisive, thunderous efficiency.

Nan Gong Yu ignored them, and Qiao An could no longer save face.

She and her sisters said, "What's going on? Isn't this your fiancé's big brother? Why is he ignoring people?"

Qiao An frowned, shook her head, and said, "He's cold by nature. It must be that Brother Ajue deliberately sent him to back me up! Come on, hurry and follow."

After speaking, Qiao An lifted her foot and stepped forward, and the several sisters followed behind her, instantly delighted and brimming with confidence!

It wasn't until Nan Gong Yu reached Song Huan Yan that she finally regained her senses.

Nan Gong Yu looked at her and asked, "Huan Yan, what happened?"

His voice, though cool, was gentle, inexplicably soothing.

Only then did Song Huan Yan slowly come to herself; she never expected him to appear like this.

But his expression seemed weary, his eyes even tinged with blood vessels.

Two seconds later, Song Huan Yan said, "You… why have you returned?"

"Hmm." Nan Gong Yu nodded, "I decided at the last minute yesterday to come back, and after finishing all the meetings in one go, I rushed back."

Song Huan Yan recalled that yesterday they hadn't been able to reach him…

She asked, "Were you in meetings all the time?"

"Yes." Nan Gong Yu looked at her, "Sit down and tell me?"

"Oh." Song Huan Yan nodded.

Regarding his hasty, dust‑covered return, Meng Zhangfeng had something to say.

Yesterday he thought Nan Gong Yu was very displeased, and that Song Huan Yan doubted him.

In fact, Nan Gong Yu suddenly decided to hold the remaining meetings all together.

Originally he still had two days before returning to the empire, with many meetings.

He forced all of them to be held at once.

He held them through the night without sleep.

They went on until past ten this morning, still unfinished, with two left.

Not a moment of rest.

Then he boarded a plane and returned to the Imperial Kyoto.

When Song Huan Yan called Nan Gong Yu, they had already left the airport and were in a car.

They were originally heading back to Yu Yuan, but halfway, they received a call.

They changed route at the last minute to come here.

Because their location at that moment was actually closer to Nangong Hotel.

So they hurried over, not delaying too long.

When Nan Gong Yu said he would finish all the meetings before returning, Meng Zhangfeng was stunned.

He hurriedly asked what he was planning to do.

He feared that if Nan Gong Yu got angry, he would make a sudden departure.

Given Nan Gong Yu's temperament, that was truly possible.

No doubt about it.

He always kept his word.

In the end, Nan Gong Yu said that Song Huan Yan went to check the Marriage Certificate, not knowing how insecure she felt inside to act that way.

But she is the Song Family Heiress.

She shouldn't be so insecure.

Meng Zhangfeng thought that Nan Gong Yu truly cherished Song Huan Yan.

Perhaps Song Huan Yan is indeed exceedingly beautiful.

A woman who could topple a nation always makes men feel extra pity, as always.

After Nan Gong Yu and Song Huan Yan sat down, Qiao An and her sisters also took their seats up front.

Qiao An was the first to say enthusiastically and cutely, "Big brother…"

Before she could finish, Nan Gong Yu turned his gaze and asked, "Who is your big brother?"

Qiao An, a bit embarrassed, said, "Aren't you Brother Ajue's big brother?"

Nan Gong Yu gave a cold smile, didn't answer, and instead picked up his phone to call.

A moment later he said, "Haven't you rolled over here yet?"

He didn't know what was said on the other end, and Nan Gong Yu hung up.

Qiao An instantly became nervous, not knowing who he was calling.

Nan Gong Yu's attitude toward her also seemed very poor?

So Nan Gong Yu wasn't there to back her up, but to back Song Huan Yan?

Nan Gong Yu looked at Song Huan Yan and asked, "What's going on?"

Song Huan Yan hadn't spoken yet.

The girls around Qiao An rushed to speak, "Brother Nan Gong, here's what happened!"

She spoke first.

What she said was indeed very truthful and not fabricated.

But this matter was, from the start, their scheming.

First Courtesy Then Force.

On the surface, Song Huan Yan was certainly at a great disadvantage, which seemed unreasonable.

She appeared arrogant and excessive, just like a truly vicious female antagonist.

After speaking, the girls added, "Look, we still have a friend lying here! He was hit by them! A wine bottle smashed him!"

When Nan Gong Yu came over, he saw that indeed someone was lying on the ground.

The girls thought, even if they weren't there to support Qiao An.

But they still had to argue about right and wrong, right?

This is exactly Song Huan Yan's unreasonable attitude, looking down on others and provoking first!

She still didn't believe that Brother Nan Gong would favor Song Huan Yan.

Even if he favored her, Nan Gong Jue is Qiao An's fiancé, and the two are brothers, so he must consider brotherly ties.

Song Huan Yan didn't speak, and Sang Wan said first, "Could it be that you really force us to drink?"

The younger sister asked, "Why force you to drink? We previously offered a proper toast to you, what was your attitude?"

Nan Gong Yu flicked his finger at the Hotel Manager.

The manager stepped forward, "Lord Nan."

Nan Gong Yu said, "First, carry the person out and have a doctor take a look."

"Yes." The manager bowed his head, then immediately ordered a bodyguard to carry Xin Xin away.

Afterwards, Nan Gong Yu looked at Song Huan Yan, his voice cold, "Huan Yan, is it like this?"

"Hmm." Song Huan Yan nodded, openly admitting.

Nan Gong Yu asked again, "Reason?"

For Qiao An to force Song Huan Yan to drink, that is definitely courting death.

But the premise is that Song Huan Yan had repeatedly refused their kind offer of a toast.

She wouldn't even lift a cup, so the other side became angry and forced the drinking.

With Nan Gong Jue as backing, Qiao An's brazen actions are understandable and not really blameworthy.

Therefore, Song Huan Yan's refusal to their toast, with such a decisive attitude, must have a reason.

Moreover, Song Huan Yan is still Qiao An's boss, still supporting her.

Why then resist Qiao An's toast so fiercely?

Nan Gong Yu was asking for that very reason.

Song Huan Yan looked at him.

His face was exceedingly handsome, cold and sharp, like an iron‑faced, impartial judge.

Song Huan Yan was still surprised at his sudden return to the country.

She was also surprised that, since they received their certificates, this was their second meeting, and it happened in such a setting.

However, Song Huan Yan could not give a reason now.

She had originally intended to threaten Qiao An with the pregnancy, to make her behave and not cause trouble.

But she didn't want Qiao An to know that she knew Qiao An planned an abortion, the membrane procedure.

At that time she also didn't know Qiao An's fiancé was Nan Gong Jue.

If she had known…

In fact, Nan Gong Yu wouldn't have needed to come.

Since she didn't say at the start, Song Huan Yan now doesn't intend to say.

She simply said, "No reason."

To the onlookers, that sounded certainly illogical but spirited.

The onlookers gasped, and there probably weren't many who would dare speak to Nan Gong Yu like that.

Sure enough, she truly is a Song Family Heiress!
