Chapter 207: Wasn ‘t This No Different From Charity?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
For the next two days, Shen Yanqing could feel that Nan Ge was busy every day and the two of them rarely chatted.
He was still worried. After handing over the rest of the work to others, he took Assistant Yuan back to the country first.
Before boarding the plane, he sent Nan Ge a message. He did not receive a reply even after he landed.
After landing and getting into the car, Assistant Yuan received a call and was told that Old Master Nan had passed away.
Counting back the time, he was still on the plane.
Many people came to Old Master Nan’s funeral.
Shen Yanqing naturally had to be present. He accompanied her as Nan Gels fiancé the entire time.
After the funeral, Old Madam Nan called everyone from the Nan family back to the old residence.
On such an occasion, Shen Yanqing naturally had the right etiquette. After sending Nan Ge off, he did not go in, but he did not leave either. He sat in the car and waited.
During this time, he saw a woman loitering outside the Nan family’s house. From her appearance, she did look a little familiar.
After carefully recalling it in his mind, he was slightly stunned. He pondered briefly before getting out of the car.
“Are you Miss Qi?”
Hearing the voice, Qi Yan turned around.
She had a photographic memory of beautiful things, so she quickly remembered who the other party was. “Are you the one who was with Nan Ge last time?”
“Yes.” Shen Yanqing had a polite and distant smile on his face. “I’m Nan Gels boyfriend.”
Qi Yan said, “Hello, hello.”
“Are you here to look for Nan Zhe?” He could tell the other party’s intentions at a glance.
“Uh…” Qi Yan avoided his gaze. A few seconds later, she said, “I just found out that Nan Zhe’s grandfather died. I was out of town at the time. I only found out today.”
That day, Nan Zhe suddenly asked her if she had time to come back. At that time, it was her first day home. Her father’s health was not good, so she specially went to make a hospital appointment. She wanted to bring her father to the hospital for a detailed checkup, so she automatically rejected Nan Zhe’s suggestion.
She had also asked Nan Zhe if there was anything urgent. The other party only replied after a long time without saying why.
She eventually found out about Old Master Nan’s death. Yuan Chi had sent her a WeChat message today to ask why he did not see her at Old Master Nan’s funeral.
“We haven’t contacted each other much in the past two days. I thought he was very busy at his company…” Qi Yan was also very annoyed. If she had insisted on asking a few more times, she might have been able to come back earlier.
She had heard that Nan Zhe had a very good relationship with his grandparents. At the thought of this, she could not help but ask, “Is Nan Zhe doing well?”
Shen Yanqing carefully recalled Nan Zhe’s condition.
The eldest grandson of the Nan family received a lot of attention. He garnered even more attention than his own father.
During the funeral, Nan Zhe did not show any abnormalities.
When it came to serious matters, Nan Zhe was actually not as emotional as usual. His expression did not change no matter what hit him. He hid his sadness and joy very well.
Nan Ge always said that Nan Zhe was not as calm as him, but that was not the case.
“He looks fine on the surface, but in this situation, he must be in a bad mood.
Nan Ge said that he hasn’t spoken much these past few days.”
Qi Yan’s heart skipped a beat. She turned around and looked at the Nan residence’s door.
She could not contact Nan Zhe. In the end, she asked Yuan Chi for the address.
“They’re talking inside. His phone should be on silent mode. My car is nearby.
Let’s go over and sit for a while. The weather is too stuffy today.”
No matter what, she was Nan Zhe’s girlfriend. He could not watch her wait at the door.
She was Nan Ge’s future sister-in-law, so that made her his sister-in-law.
After all, they would be family in the future.
Qi Yan hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
With the driver and assistant in the front row of the car, it was not too awkward.
After getting into the car, Shen Yanqing kept dealing with work. The two of them did not interact much.
Meanwhile, in the Nan residence.
Nan Ge sat on the armrest right next to her brother.
The last time everyone in the Nan family gathered was at Old Madam Nan’s birthday banquet.
However, this time, Old Master Nan was no longer here, and Nan Ge’s youngest uncle was also present.
As an elder, her youngest uncle sat opposite her. Her two male cousins sat on the other side, and her brother sat alone in an armchair.
She had nowhere to sit, so she could only come to share a seat with Nan Zhe.
Of course, part of the reason was that on such an occasion, she only felt safe by her brother’s side.
She was at the bottom of the food chain and had no right to speak here. She lowered her head and scratched her fingers. She was just the background, so she tried her best to reduce her presence.
The atmosphere in the living room was a little heavy. Old Madam Nan was sitting in the main seat. Everyone present was considered juniors, so no one dared to break the silence.
After a while, Old Madam Nan finally spoke.
The topic revolved around Old Master Nan’s will. The lawyer by the side was already on standby and went forward to announce the will when it was the right time.
Although Old Master Nan had not been in power for many years, he had left behind a lot of things.
In the end, when Nan Ge heard her name, she was stunned. She did not expect to be included.
However, what she received was far less than the three boys in the family.
It was normal that she could not compare to Nan Zhe, but she had only gotten a tenth of what her other two male cousins had. It was not worth mentioning. After Nan Ge heard it clearly, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
To her, he might as well not give her anything.
Wasn’t this no different from charity?
Was she a beggar?
Nan Zhe frowned slightly and gestured for the lavvyer to bring the document over. After he personally checked it, his expression did not look good.
Old Madam Nan could tell what he was thinking at a glance. She said mildly, “Your grandfather is very considerate. Although the portion given to Nan Ge is not as good as the three of you, it’s more than enough as a dowry.”
“You should know that the three of you are boys and will get married and have children in the future. Nan Ge is a girl, so she’s different from you. However, this is a token of our sincerity.”
Nan Ge glanced at the document in her brother’s hand and looked away.
She stood up and said in an exceptionally calm tone, “Grandma, forget about my share.”
“If anyone needs it, just give it to them. If they don’t need it, donating isn’t a bad idea either. Just treat it as doing good deeds.”
“Anyway, I don’t need it.”
She picked up her bag from the side and did not look at her parents and brother. She just looked straight at Old Madam Nan and smiled. “I don’t think I’m needed here anymore, right? School is about to start. I’ll go back and pack my things first.”
When she left, Old Madam Nan stopped her. Her tone was stern, but Nan Ge pretended not to hear her.
She heard her parents talking to Old Madam Nan when she walked out of the hall. Although she could not hear what they said, it sounded very loud. Just as she reached the courtyard, footsteps sounded behind her.
She turned around and saw that it was her youngest uncle.
“How are you leaving?” From the looks of it, her youngest uncle wanted to send her off.
Nan Ge shrugged. “Shen Yanqing is waiting for me.”
Hearing this, her youngest uncle suddenly smiled and seemed to heave a sigh of relief. “Alright, go ahead.”
He did not mention anything about what had just happened.
Listening to the voices coming from inside, Nan Ge looked at her youngest uncle expressionlessly.
The latter shrugged. “Go ahead. Don’t worry about this side.”
“Yeah.”
When she reached the door, her brother chased after her.
Seeing his serious expression, Nan Ge thought that she was going to be scolded.
The siblings stood facing each other. After looking at each other, Nan Zhe raised his hand and rubbed her head. “You did very well..”
