Chapter 208: Nan Ge, I’m Right By Your Side
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Nan Ge, you did very well just now.”
Nan Gets hand that was hanging by her side silently clenched her satchel.
She looked at Nan Zhe speechlessly. The latter’s gaze moved from her face to the man who got out of the car opposite her.
His lips curved upwards. Like his youngest uncle, he did not mention what had just happened.
He seemed to have come out just to say this.
Nan Ge did not know why Qi Yan was there, but she did not know what happened next. She followed Shen Yanqing into the car and left.
In the backseat, Nan Ge leaned her head against the window and remained silent.
Shen Yanqing could feel her low mood. He had been paying attention to the commotion outside the car.
He watched as Nan Zhe chased after her when she walked out the entrance.
The atmosphere between the siblings was a little stranger than usual.
Nan Ge did not speak from the beginning to the end. She glanced at Nan Zhe and retracted her gaze. Her gaze was nervous, and it was unknown what she was looking at. Nan Zhe wanted to say something at first, but he did not continue after that.
He did not want to disturb them, but seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he decided to get out of the car.
She could not tell what she was feeling now. The phone in her bag kept vibrating, but Nan Ge did not seem to hear it.
After stopping for a moment, it began to vibrate again.
Her bag was still on her shoulder. Shen Yanqing thought for a moment and did not disturb her. He just reached out to help her take her bag off her shoulder.
However, before his hand could approach, Nan Ge suddenly reached out and forcefully pulled off the bag on her shoulder, smashing it on the small table opposite her.
Assistant Yuan was sitting up front and the commotion made him stiffen. He hurriedly looked at the driver, Gao.
How could Gao dare to make a sound? He quickly raised the partition.
The two of them had not just met Nan Ge. One of them was Shen Yanqing’s special assistant, and the other was his driver. Of course, they met Nan Ge a lot. In addition, Nan Ge was talkative and would usually chat with them in the car. They had long become good friends.
In their impression, Nan Ge came from an excellent family. She was well-educated and polite. She was lively, cheerful, and optimistic.
Not to mention being angry and smashing things, they had never even seen Nan Ge sad.
They did not dare to interfere in this scene and could only quietly eavesdrop.
In the back row, Shen Yanqing was only stunned for a second before his expression quickly returned to normal. He picked up the satchel that Nan Ge had thrown on the small table before falling. He unzipped it and found her phone.
Without looking at who was calling, he hung up and turned off the phone.
Nan Ge’s phone was silent, but there were new messages on Shen Yanqing’s phone.
It came from two people.
The first one was from Assistant Yuan sitting in front. He carefully asked where the boss wanted to go now.
In the past, Assistant Yuan did not need to ask to know that he should bring
Nan Ge back to Huai City directly. However, Old Master Nan’s funeral had just ended today. There must be a lot of things to do at the Nan residence. It was probably not good for President Shen to take her away at a time like this…
Therefore, after some thought, Assistant Yuan decided to ask.
[Back to Huai City.]
[Roger that!]
After exiting the dialog box, Shen Yanqing looked at the other message. It was from Nan Zhe.
[Take good care of her.]
Shen Yanqing acknowledged him and did not ask further.
After a few seconds, Nan Zhe added: [Call me immediately if anything happens.]
Just by looking at Nan Zhe’s message, Shen Yanqing knew that there was a big problem.
He glanced at Nan Ge from the corner of his eye.
The little girl’s eyes were closed. She was leaning against the car window with a pillow in her arms, as if she had already fallen asleep.
There was no expression on her face. Other than a hint of frustration when she threw her bag just now, she had been like an empty shell since she got into the car.
Shen Yanqing felt a stab in his heart. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently. The next second, he held it tightly.
Nan Ge was not asleep, but she did not want to open her eyes.
The street scenery outside the window was familiar to her. She had lived here for 20 years and was no longer interested in watching.
She wanted to escape.
The further she escaped, the better.
She did not refuse or respond when Shen Yanqing held her hand.
“Nan Ge, I’m right beside you.”
“Rest well. ”
He knew that she was not asleep, but he did not try to talk to her about anything.
At first, Nan Ge did not want to sleep in the car. Later, for some reason, she fell asleep leaning on his shoulder.
Along the way, Shen Yanqing did not let go of her hand.
When they returned to his residence, Nan Ge was still asleep. Shen Yanqing carried her to the bed in the master bedroom. After confirming that she was still asleep, he took his phone to the balcony outside.
The main reason was that Nan Zhe had sent him a few more messages on the way, mostly about today.
He hadn’t had time to read it.
Unlike his usual habit of mixing in some random conversation while discussing official matters and his usual casual sentences, Nan Zhe’s messages this time were all complete paragraphs of content.
The man leaned against the transparent glass railing on the balcony and swiped through them carefully. He read the content for a long time in silence.
Nan Zhe’s last sentence had a deeper meaning.
He said: [In her heart, she must blame me. She’s not wrong for doing this.] Such deep content was very different from Nan Zhe’s usual temperament.
Shen Yanqing was not interested in interfering in other people’s family matters and felt that it was rude. But now, he suddenly regretted it.
If he had accompanied Nan Ge through the door, would things have turned out like this when she finally walked out?
Would the outcome change because of him? He asked himself.
It seemed that it would not.
The two elders of the Nan family were too prejudiced. Nan Ge was a good girl,
Dut sne naa never movea tnem m tne past 20 years.
He could understand why Nan Ge was so emotional this time.
Just as Nan Zhe had said: [In so many years, this is the first time she has spoken to Grandma like this. Every time, no matter what Grandpa and Grandma said, she would silently accept it. Even if Mom, Dad, and I spoke up for her, she did not dare to say anything. As for her reaction today… She never cared about inheritance.]
That was true.
After suppressing it for so long, it finally turned into a tsunami.
This did not happen out of the blue.
Nan Ge did not want the inheritance. She did not care how much the inheritance was. What she cared about was fair treatment.
Old Master Nan had been biased his entire life, but even until his death, he did not forget to leave a “surprise” for his granddaughter.
No wonder Nan Ge was like this.
Shen Yanqing thought for a long time and did not know how to reply to Nan Zhe.
Nan Zhe’s last sentence had some basis.
The moment she saw the will, or at a certain moment in over 20 years, Nan Ge must have blamed Nan Zhe in her heart.
As the eldest grandson, he had diverted too much attention.
Under his dazzling halo, Nan Ge wanted to earn some praise at first, but she ended up doing her utmost to reduce her presence. Now, she completely stopped caring.
Under such a strong contrast, even if they were biological siblings, there would more or less be some discord.
Nan Zhe had indeed not done anything wrong. As an elder brother, he had always been on Nan Ge’s side.
However, Nan Ge was not wrong either.
Shen Yanqing did not want to comfort Nan Zhe now. His attention was on Nan
Because from the beginning to the end, Nan Ge was the only victim..
