My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots Chapter 1878 - Anger

Chapter 1878: Anger

This caused the Pei family to suffer some heavy losses. In the end, they shamelessly took over the s.h.i.+ family’s 80-million-yuan project and earned a net profit of 30 million yuan.

After hearing what Nangong Nuannuan just said, he knew that Zhou Ruxue had actually only given her 5 million yuan.

s.h.i.+ Gen instantly felt his blood boil. His gaze was as sharp as a blade when he shot a threatening glance at Grandma Pei.

Grandma Pei never expected Nangong Nuan to reveal what happened back then. Not only had she revealed what happened, she even specifically stated ‘five million yuan’. Grandma Pei was so angry she felt like she was about to explode. s.h.i.+ Gen’s furious gaze made her even more worried that her in-law would completely ignore the Pei family in the future. She was so upset that she shouted, “What five million yuan? Our Ruxue definitely gave you 50 million!”

Grandma Pei’s face alternated between pale and flushed. She gathered all her strength to look Nangong Nuannuan in the eye, hoping she would understand the hidden meaning behind her gaze.

Who knew? Maybe she would be able to.

“Grandma Pei, perhaps your memory is faltering. After all, despite only just seeing me, you asked who I am. Given that it was quite long ago, you may be misremembering 5 million as 50 million. Regardless, you’d be happy. In short, I only took 5 million from you. If you don’t believe me, you can go find out how much your daughter-in-law gave me.”

Madam Pei was so angry that her blood pressure shot through the roof.

Zhou Ruxue had given her 5 million at first. When that did not work, she gave her another 5 million. By the end of it, she had given ten million yuan to Old Master Chi and Chi Yang. Until now, the money had not been returned to them yet.

However, Nuannuan was alluding to a robbery by saying that she only received 5 million yuan. What would this make her in-laws think?

In her entire life, only she, Lan Huifang, had ever conned others for their money. This was the first time she was being conned by someone else. It made her feel utterly miserable.

Not only had she lost a lot of yuan for nothing, but she also damaged her reputation in her in-laws’ eyes.

Lan Huifang hung her head and sat down gloomily. She did not want to say anything else.

She was so furious that her blood pressure remained at an all-time high.

Seeing Lan Huifang look so pitiful, Grandfather Chi, who was gloomy upon arrival at the house, perked up. He was amused by his upset granddaughter-in-law.

Chi Yang’s eyes were also filled with glee.

“They are indeed in the wrong, Nuannuan. Grandfather has already told you that there’s no need to take this matter to heart.”

“Um.”

Nuannuan nodded obediently like a little girl, making the corners of s.h.i.+ Gen’s mouth twitch involuntarily.

Not only was Nangong Nuannuan powerful, she was also adorable. The word ‘shameless’ was an understatement when describing how despicable she could be. She was simply invincible.

However, what Nangong Nuannuan said next truly allowed s.h.i.+ Geng to see the true nature of this demon.

“They must have felt like they did something wrong, so that’s why they came to apologize to me today. They felt like they shouldn’t have used Big Brother Chi Yang’s or his mother’s name to separate us.”

When the old man heard this, his expression seemed to relax.

Madam Pei’s high blood pressure, which had been shooting through the roof, also went down quite a bit upon hearing this.

“Big Brother, it was indeed Ruxue who was in the wrong before this. I’ve already talked to her about it after we got back. You know that Ruxue has never suffered, even as a child. She’s simple-minded and takes things for granted. That’s why she did such a thing. After I went back, I scolded her harshly. That’s why she went to Nuannuan today to apologize.”

Although Old Master Chi was still angry, he felt that Madam Pei was right to criticize Zhou Ruxue.
