Chapter 89: After the Gag, the Stomach Wash, Then Gag Again!

Probably throughout all of Kyoto, even other top‑tier wealthy family heiresses wouldn't dare speak to Nan Gong Yu like that.

I've heard the Nan Gong family and the Song family have an extremely good relationship.

The main reason is that the matriarchs of the two families are incredibly close.

But still, that's way too arrogant.

Because outsiders don't know the background, however they look or listen, they think Song Huan Yan is being unreasonable.

Qiao An here lowers herself, both offering apologies and toasting.

She didn't actually make her drink, but she didn't even pick up the cup.

Anyone who hears it thinks it's completely unreasonable, clearly picking a fight!

Song Huan Yan's such "unreasonable arrogance" makes Chu Yue unable to hold back; she immediately interjects, "Given Miss Song's current status, indeed no reason is needed."

The meaning is that Song Huan Yan is relying on Nan Gong Yu, so she feels invincible.

Put bluntly, she does whatever she wants.

She can deal with anyone she dislikes, even if others haven't offended her.

But she can also, out of sheer boredom, deal with others without any reason!

As Chu Yue's words fell, Nan Gong Yu turned his gaze toward her.

Chu Yue was instantly frightened.

Because of Nan Gong Yu's look.

It's all too familiar.

Chu Yue immediately dropped to both knees, "I, your subordinate, have spoken rashly."

This is Chu Yue inviting trouble on herself.

Originally it wasn't her business, but she wanted to reply.

Now she scares herself again and kneels promptly.

Purely a bit sick, self‑inflicted suffering.

However… she seems to be using this to boost her presence.

Perhaps she's reached the point where she can't even imagine Nan Gong Yu, and thus wants to be tormented by him.

But Chu Yue's move shocked everyone watching on the side.

Besides Meng Zhangfeng and the Hotel Manager, even the bodyguards were accustomed to it.

The rest were both frightened and surprised.

This… is still the first time I've seen a subordinate get in trouble for saying the wrong sentence.

The boss gave only a glance, and they were scared into kneeling and admitting fault.

As everyone knows, the Nan Gong family can cover the sky with a single hand.

Especially Nan Gong Yu himself.

But that's way too exaggerated!

Emperor?!

Nan Gong Yu ignored Chu Yue, and after a second of silence said, "Fine, I understand."

Many people were dumbfounded by that.

Huh?

Is Nan Gong Yu really… indulging Song Huan Yan like that?

As expected, Nan Gong Yu turned his gaze to Qiao An and said two words: "Apologize."

Qiao An was also shocked, eyes wide open.

"I… apologize?" Qiao An asked in surprise.

Nan Gong Yu added, "Kneel down and apologize properly."

Qiao An: "...."

Qiao An was truly shocked, but immediately felt indignant.

She certainly wouldn't and doesn't want to apologize, let alone kneel to apologize!

This whole thing today was planned by her.

First Courtesy Then Force, always able to catch Song Huan Yan's mistakes.

If Song Huan Yan could put on a pretense tonight, this disaster wouldn't have happened.

She was also puzzled why Song Huan Yan gave her so little face.

Qiao An said nothing, made no move, clearly refusing to apologize.

With so many eyes watching, everyone knows Song Huan Yan was the one who was rude first.

Nan Gong Yu didn't ask for a reason, yet still showed favoritism!

Qiao An thought it was just because the Nan Gong family and the Song family are friendly.

Song Huan Yan must have slipped away to make a call, mobilizing elder connections, which is why Nan Gong Yu was called to back her up.

But she is different!

She is the marriage alliance target of the Nan Gong family!

Qiao An stayed still, and her girlish friend said indignantly, "What, Brother Nan Gong, why should An An apologize? It should be President Song who apologizes to us, An An!"

Another immediately replied, "Right. Brother Nan Gong, you're being way too unreasonable in your favoritism, aren't you? Moreover, An An is the marriage target of the Second Young Master of Nan Gong! The second young master should be arriving soon. This… Miss Song is just a well‑connected aristocratic family's lady. You… you're helping outsiders bully your own people!"

As the girls' words finished, Song Huan Yan, Sang Wan, and Tang Chenge all wore… very subtle expressions.

They exchanged a glance, even more subtle.

Almost couldn't help laughing.

Now that's truly hammered!

Big Turtle is Nan Gong Jue!

Who would have thought, who would have thought—so exciting, so exciting.

Nan Gong Yu simply ignored what they were saying, who was right or wrong, and said straight away, "Changfeng."

Meng Zhangfeng lowered his head, immediately signaling a few bodyguards to go after Qiao An.

Qiao An was frightened and stepped back two paces.

A few of the young ladies stepped forward to block the bodyguards.

But before they could speak, Nan Gong Yu, with a cold expression, said, "These few, pull them out for Forced Drinking."

The bodyguard immediately replied, "Yes!"

The young ladies were instantly terrified, their souls seemingly left their bodies, no longer the arrogant ones who had earlier forced Song Huan Yan and others to drink.

They just wailed chaotically, "What are you doing? Why force us to drink? She was at fault first! Is there no sense of justice left?"

However much they shouted, the little girls couldn't match these bodyguards at all.

In a few moves they were seized and dragged out.

One who struggled fiercely was slapped, and thereafter dared not resist.

Qiao An's face turned pale as she watched her group of young ladies vanish in an instant.

Though they wouldn't resist, they still shouted, "An An, help! How much Forced Drinking? I can't hold my liquor!"

It sounded rather tragic.

But alas, Nan Gong Yu wouldn't reason with them at all.

Moreover, he brought a great number of bodyguards—over forty per person—a massive crowd.

Each looked skilled and professional.

Compared with the few bodyguards Xin Xin had summoned earlier, these were on a completely different level.

Qiao An could barely protect herself; a bodyguard immediately twisted her and forced her to kneel.

Qiao An dodged, anxiously saying, "Wait, wait, wait! Brother, how much Forced Drinking are you giving them? Too much will cause trouble!"

Nan Gong Yu looked at her, "Now you realize forced drinking leads to trouble?"

Qiao An was cut off, "Forced Drinking wasn't my idea, it's just…"

Before she could finish, Nan Gong Yu interrupted, "After the Forced Drinking, pull them for gastric lavage; if they still resist, force again, until they are convinced in heart and mouth."

Qiao An's eyes widened.

She was suddenly kicked in the knee pit by that bodyguard, forcing both knees to the ground.

Utterly embarrassed!

The arrogance they showed before now turned into sheer embarrassment.

"Apologize!" the bodyguard pressed his hand on her head, showing no compassion.

Qiao An instantly clenched her silver tooth.

She would never apologize!

It had taken great effort for her to suppress Song Huan Yan, and behind her was Nan Gong Jue!

Nan Gong Jue hasn't even arrived; how could she bow?

Qiao An struggled, "Brother…"

"Apologize." Nan Gong Yu cut her off, giving her no chance to speak.

He was utterly cold and rigid, evoking instinctive fear.

Qiao An was frightened for a moment.

She didn't know what to say.

At that moment, a receptionist shouted from the doorway, "Nan Gong matriarch has arrived!"

Qiao An's eyes brightened, and she immediately struggled to stand.

Without Nan Gong Yu's signal, the bodyguard didn't force her down.

He let her get up.

Qiao An felt that Qing He was there to back her up.

She hurriedly pulled a few of the girls about to be taken away, whispering, "My future mother‑in‑law is here! I can't believe my future mother‑in‑law would support an outsider like Song Huan Yan, but not support me, the prospective daughter‑in‑law!"

After speaking, she pushed the bodyguards aside, "Move aside, move aside!"

The young ladies also struggled.

The bodyguard looked at Nan Gong Yu.

Nan Gong Yu remained silent.

The bodyguard also released a few people.

Qiao An hurriedly fixed her hair and dress, readjusting herself.

She led the young ladies over.

The young ladies suddenly got excited, whispering, "Does Nan Gong Yu like Song Huan Yan, is he courting her? So that's why…?"

Even though Qiao An didn't want to admit it, the current situation suggested it was so.

Qiao An said, "What does courting matter? Song Huan Yan hasn't agreed, so she's still not a member of the Nan Gong family! Moreover, she did bring someone to back her up. But brother Nan Gong hasn't arrived yet!"

In other words, the one who would back her up hasn't arrived.

If they arrive, who knows how the situation will turn out.

Her words gave the young ladies renewed confidence!

Nan Gong Jue must undoubtedly adore Qiao An!

Otherwise, just because the Marriage Alliance hasn't been in place for long, could she already host a banquet for all the company's employees at the Nangong Hotel?

A few sisters immediately praised her word by word, bolstering their own confidence.

"Sure enough. You're the official prospective second lady of the Nan Gong Clan who came to propose the Marriage Alliance! That President Song has had several years of romantic history, so he's definitely already dirty. Can the Nan Gong Clan even consider a woman like that? Moreover, even if Nan Gong Yu truly likes her and she agrees, her status after entering the Nan Gong Clan would certainly not be as high as yours!"

"Exactly, exactly. I think, after all, she called Nan Gong Yu. Nan Gong Yu is a man, and a truly formidable man. He can be considered half a head of the Nan Gong Clan. If he doesn't exert some authority to help her, it would be unreasonable. So the way Nan Gong Yu punished us just now was only out of face. He probably wasn't really helping her at all."

"Right, right, right. I heard the brothers and sisters of the Nan Gong Clan get along well. Now that your mother‑in‑law is here, Nan Gong Yu can conveniently take advantage of the situation and won't favor her."

"Exactly, exactly. But she's also clever. She just slipped into the restroom to bring reinforcements. It's a pity, though—her reinforcements can't compare at all with An An's platform! Now that An An's mother‑in‑law has arrived, I suppose Nan Gong's Second Young Master will also come soon. Hmph, it will be Song Huan Yan who ends up bowing and apologizing to us!"

Their back‑and‑forth whispers only emboldened them further.

It was as if they could already picture Song Huan Yan later apologizing to them.

Qiao An stepped forward with a few sisters, still proactive and enthusiastic, sweetly and demurely greeting Gu Qinghe, trying to get close: "Aunt Gu, you've come as well. Why didn't Brother Jue come with you? Please, after you."

She mentioned Nan Gong Jue just to get closer.

She reminded Gu Qinghe that she is the woman Nan Gong Jue likes, specifically named for the Marriage Alliance!

Saying this throughout Kyoto would be a point of pride!

She truly never imagined it, because during a childhood accidental encounter, she gave Nan Gong Jue a candy.

And that… turned her into Nan Gong Jue's unforgettable White Moonlight.

Qiao An's face is highly deceptive; she looks like that especially cute, sweet, demure "sweet girl" type.

As long as she doesn't show her ugly side… people will think this girl is definitely the very obedient and pure type.

While speaking, Qiao An smiled coyly and, very affectionately, reached out to take Gu Qinghe's hand.
