Chapter 351: Lofty and Unattainable

The noblewoman holding a cat walked over and sat on the sofa.

She said to Lin Yang, "You're Xue'er's boyfriend, right?"

"It looks like your family has some influence."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't be completely unafraid when facing the third master."

Nan Gong Zhao heard this and gave a disdainful smile.

"No wonder you dare to be so arrogant."

"Too bad you shouldn't be running wild in my Nan Gong family."

The noblewoman stroked the cat and casually said to Lin Yang.

"Young man, I don't care how far you and Xue'er have gone."

"You'd better break up; it's good for you and your family."

"The person Xue'er will marry is someone from Yanjing; you're not worthy of her."

The noblewoman's seemingly casual demeanor was meant to despise Lin Yang psychologically.

She felt she also had the qualification to despise him.

She herself had married into a certain family in Yanjing back then.

That family is now thriving, so her status naturally rose as well.

Toward a young person, it's natural to look down on them.

Lin Yang listened to the noblewoman's words and laughed.

"You're different from Nan Gong Zheng; he doesn't have your conceit."

"So you've gotten ahead of yourself!"

Nan Gong Zhao said disdainfully.

At that moment, Nan Gong Xue was also awakened by the noise.

When she woke up, seeing the noblewoman beside her, she said somewhat surprised.

"Auntie, why did you come back?"

Then she looked toward Nan Gong Zhao.

"Third Uncle, why are you here too?"

Nan Gong Zhao let out a cold snort and said.

"I shouldn't have come; otherwise I wouldn't have been so angry my blood pressure spiked."

"Ah?"

Nan Gong Xue was first surprised, then glanced at Lin Yang.

Her pretty face instantly turned red.

At the same time she blamed herself in her heart for falling asleep so uselessly!

Seeing Nan Gong Xue's maidenly demeanor, the noblewoman thought she had seen through their relationship.

She said, "Xue'er, you've been sensible since childhood, rarely worrying your father."

"This time, don't make your father worry either."

Nan Gong Xue heard this and looked at her aunt with puzzlement.

"Auntie, what do you mean?"

The noblewoman said, "I want you to cut ties with this brat."

"Look at his attire and speech—he's not worthy of you."

"Your future husband should be chosen from Yanjing's upper circles."

Upon hearing this, Nan Gong Xue immediately became anxious.

"Auntie, it's not what you think!"

"I and Mr. Lin aren't the kind of relationship you imagine."

"Besides, Mr. Lin is frank; where is he not worthy of me?"

Listening to Nan Gong Xue's explanation, the noblewoman was very dissatisfied.

"This girl, speaking up for that man like that!"

"It seems their relationship is already quite complicated."

After making them break up, I must be careful that Nan Gong Xue and he don't elope.

"Xue'er, you have nothing to do here; go back to your room."

Nan Gong Xue became anxious and said.

"Auntie, Mr. Lin is my friend; what do you intend to do!"

The noblewoman saw the anxious Nan Gong Xue and spoke in a low voice.

"Do you even know what a friend is? Someone like him brings you no benefit—can that even be called a friend?"

"You're not young anymore; when making friends, you need to be considerate."

Nan Gong Zhao nodded and said, "Exactly, people like this can only drag our Nan Gong family down."

"In the future, you might even have to curry favor with our Nan Gong family—what kind of friendship is that with him!"

Lin Yang, hearing this, laughed and said.

"So, your Nan Gong family makes friends based on status, judging only by strength?"

"That really makes people feel disgusted."

Nan Gong Zhao said, "What do you know, you brat!"

"I tell you, our Nan Gong family will rise to first-class status relying on the Longevity Elixir."

Moreover, you still have to contend with the Martial Prince Chen family; what is your background, that you deserve to be matched with our Nangong family?

The noble lady also nodded and said.

"Still, the second brother is impressive, he managed to obtain the agency rights for the Longevity Elixir."

"Over in Yanjing, they also want a share; later I'll talk to the second brother about it."

Lin Yang looked at the noble lady and asked.

"Are you from Yanjing?"

"No, I married into Yanjing, forming a marriage alliance with Yanjing's upper-class families; that is our home."

Looking at the noble lady, Lin Yang said.

"Then you can tell your husband's family that they will never be able to get the Longevity Elixir in this lifetime."

Hearing that, the noble lady frowned and said.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Nan Gong Zhao sneered and said: "How so, you claim the Longevity Elixir is yours?"

Lin Yang nodded and said: "That's right, the Longevity Elixir is indeed mine."

Nan Gong Zhao heard that, let out a cold laugh and said.

"Xue'er, look at your friend, just to anger us, you dare say anything."

"Being with someone like this will surely ruin the Nangong family in the future!"

Nan Gong Xue was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, she said.

"Third Uncle, the Longevity Elixir really is Mr. Lin's!"

"The Feng Family only agreed to cooperate with us because Mr. Lin nodded!"

"Don't spout nonsense anymore!"

Nan Gong Xue was about to cry from anxiety.

She knew how important the Longevity Elixir was.

Now her aunt and third uncle are humiliating Lin Yang like this.

If Lin Yang gets angry and cancels their cooperation, his father will surely be so angry he vomits blood!

The noble lady and Nan Gong Zhao both frowned upon hearing Nan Gong Xue's words.

"Xue'er, for the sake of this brat, you actually said such a thing; I'm utterly disappointed."

"This only strengthens my resolve to separate you from this brat!"

Nan Gong Xue, anxious, immediately called her father.

While dialing, she didn't forget to say to Lin Yang:

"Mr. Lin, there's a misunderstanding here; please don't get angry!"

Seeing Nan Gong Xue on the phone while still comforting Lin Yang, Nan Gong Zhao's face was very displeased.

Have their feelings become this deep?

He put on a stern look, looked at Lin Yang and said.

"Brat, get out of the Nangong family right now; you're not welcome here!"

Lin Yang looked at him, shook his head and said.

"If the Nangong family is all like you, it's truly disappointing."

As Lin Yang was about to leave, a phone ring sounded from outside.

Somewhat weary Nan Gong Zheng entered the house, took out his phone, and the smiling Nan Gong Xue said.

"Xue'er, weren't you supposed to go to the bar with Mr. Lin to see things?"

"How did you come back so early?"

"Going to the bar?"

The noble lady couldn't help but frown, looking at Nan Gong Zheng.

Before he could speak, Nan Gong Zheng saw Lin Yang.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Lin, your esteemed presence truly brings glory to our humble home."

Lin Yang said: "Your esteemed presence is too much; I will only cause you to retreat, I'm leaving first."

Hearing Lin Yang's words, then looking at Nan Gong Zhao, Nan Gong Zheng felt a jolt in his heart.

Something must have happened here!

Cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said to Lin Yang:

"Mr. Lin, I think there's some misunderstanding here."

"A misunderstanding?"

Lin Yang shook his head and said.

"There's no misunderstanding; the Nangong family is lofty beyond reach, I think our cooperation can be cancelled."

Having said that, he left without looking back.
