Chapter 1963: Continue Here

Chi Yang, who had remained silent all this time, reached out and pulled Nuannuan into his arms to demonstrate his sovereignty. Then, he said under his breath, “I believe you.”

Wu Zongyang, “So, do you believe me?”

“Hahahaha...” Wu Pingting laughed unkindly at her brother’s defeat.

The depressing atmosphere within the Wu family had now lifted.

“Oh right, senior sister, I still have to take you home!” Nuannuan suddenly remembered that s.h.i.+ Lingyun wanted to go home.

s.h.i.+ Lingyun looked at the sky and said, “It’s a little late now. Why don’t I just go back tomorrow? My home is on the outskirts of the Western District, and this is the eastern district. It’s more than an hour’s drive away.”

“Yeah, it’s already past seven o’clock. You guys haven’t eaten yet. It’d already be past nine o’clock by the time we finish dinner, so we would only reach back past ten o’clock if we travel by car. Wu Pingting was also urged to invite her, “Senior sister, you may stay at our house tonight. Our house has a few empty rooms that you may use.”

“Okay.” s.h.i.+ Lingyun nodded and agreed.

Although she knew that her parents would definitely scold her if she did not go back, she also did not like to cause trouble for others. She was already grateful enough that Nuannuan and Lieutenant General Chi had saved her. Furthermore, she had watched as Nuannuan had been working hard all day. She knew that Nuannuan must be tired—so when Wu Pingting invited her to stay over at the Wu residence for the night, she immediately agreed.

Seeing that s.h.i.+ Lingyun had agreed, Nuannuan gladly supported it. After all, when she heard that s.h.i.+ Lingyun’s mother had called her, she had already thought of Jiang Shuwan—a mother who did not care about her daughter’s welfare was not a good one. Her mother was worried about s.h.i.+ Lingyun going back alone. Since s.h.i.+ Lingyun had become Brother Chi Yang’s girlfriend, he had to protect her.

Hence, they returned to the Wu family residence.

The servants of the Wu family had already prepared a sumptuous meal. Although the Wu family had experienced many ups and downs today, it was fortunate that they were not in danger.

When everyone was eating together, a call came from s.h.i.+ Lingyun’s home.

......

“h.e.l.lo, Mom. I was delayed at the police station for too long today. I was called back earlier because I had something to do. I gave my statement and left the police station. It’s quite late, so my friend let me stay at her house.”

s.h.i.+ Lingyun picked up the phone and started to explain, but sharp curses were coming from the other end of the line.

“s.h.i.+ Lingyun, you did this on purpose, didn’t you? You told me that you would be back at 6—it’s already past 7. I even invited guests tonight. Now that the guests are here, what am I meant to do if you don’t come back?”

s.h.i.+ Lingyun was puzzled and said, “Mom, what does it have to do with me if there are guests at home?”

The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment and continued to shout, “I can’t possibly stop them if they want to visit my university student daughter, can I? I’ve already promised them that they can see you, but you’re not even here. Are you looking to get a beating?”

The voice on the other end of the phone was very loud—almost everyone at the table heard it. s.h.i.+ Lingyun felt that she had lost some dignity. She nodded slightly at the people at the table and was about excuse herself to continue the call elsewhere. However, Nangong Nuannuan held her back and whispered, “Continue here.”

s.h.i.+ Lingyun’s greatest wish in her life was to rid herself of her family’s entanglement. She had already had enough of her parents’ preference for sons over daughters, hence why she had specially enrolled in Dizhou University.

She had just been in a car accident and was in a bad mood. Her mother did not just been unbothered regarding her welfare, but even called her just to scold her.
