Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Embarrassing Display_1

Lu Zhenguo only felt that he was choking on his breath, unable to exhale or swallow it down.

However, he could only grit his teeth, swallow his blood, and say apologetically, "Since the engagement has been dissolved, we will not bring it up again in the future."

Old Master Hu snorted coldly before softening his voice to say, "There has been a big misunderstanding here. I think, Little Nuan, afraid of causing trouble for both your families, never mentioned that she grew up in the provincial city’s compound, nor the fact that she was once engaged to your son. She thought you might be worried or scared, so Little Nuan never brought it up either."

At this very moment, Lu Zhenguo didn’t know what to say.

When they had stepped into the education center, the two men had a belly full of words to say.

They had even thought about how to explain to Old Mr. Hu to not be angry, not to blame the Lu family or the Qin family.

They had also planned on how to assure the old gentleman that they would severely chastise Song Yunuan and then vent the frustration caused by the deception on her behalf.

But who would have expected things to be completely overturned?

Song Yunuan didn’t mention their two families at all, she even kept completely silent about the engagement.

Now it seemed that Old Mr. Hu was furious that Little Nuan was engaged to his son?

Lu Zhenguo was the most infuriated.

But he could only nod repeatedly.

Shock, embarrassment, discomfort... After all the negative emotions had subsided, the two men finally saw the situation for what it was.

They were quick to change their tune, assuring Old Mr. Hu over and over that there had been a misunderstanding, that they were truly sorry, and that they would definitely apologize to Little Nuan when they saw her.

Suddenly, Old Mr. Hu waved his hand, "You two shouldn’t bother Little Nuan. If you’ve stopped contacting her, then let it be final. Don’t come out later saying this and that about Little Nuan when something happens to her."

The two men said nothing, while Old Master Hu slowly asked Qin Zhong, "Tell me, has Little Nuan ever called you on her own initiative?"

Qin Zhong shook his head.

"Has Little Nuan been to your place, saying she wants to go back?"

Qin Zhong continued to shake his head.

Old Master Hu laughed, "Little Nuan is a self-reliant and strong-willed good child. She has her own pride and wouldn’t shamelessly disturb you at your door."

Then Old Mr. Hu added, "Since Little Nuan hasn’t troubled you, you two shouldn’t disturb her either. And make sure to warn your family members not to worry or be afraid. I think Little Nuan is doing very well. It’s up to you what you do now."

Qin Zhong was speechless.

He was mainly speechless because he didn’t know how to respond to Old Mr. Hu’s sarcastic and belittling remarks.

Lu Zhenguo wanted to say that his son was so devoted to Little Nuan that he almost starved himself, and the next moment he almost slapped himself.

Idiot, how could he say such a thing?

That would only make Old Mr. Hu think even less of his son.

In the past, he had hoped his son would attend the technical university for his postgraduate studies.

Luckily, Old Mr. Hu didn’t ask what his son’s name was.

Lu Zhenguo suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back, realizing he couldn’t stay here any longer. He reached out his hand and tugged at Qin Zhong, who understood Lu Zhenguo’s intentions.

Qin Zhong bowed deeply and apologized to Old Mr. Hu, "We’re sorry, Old Mr. Hu. We were too presumptuous!"

Old Mr. Hu was a formidable person, one might say his influence extended far and wide.

One could say that wherever the old gentleman went, there were always people eagerly waiting to receive him.

This was no different even when visiting Beidu.

Not to mention that Old Mr. Hu’s eldest son was the director of a special forces unit.

All of these were enough for them to be in a world of trouble.

Old Mr. Hu laughed, and then sighed, "Little Nuan is a kind and good child, and although she was taken in by mistake, the Qin family has shown her grace in raising her.

Given this child’s character, she will surely repay you.

But as you said earlier, from the day the children were switched back, the Qin family and the Song family set their terms.

Let’s just stick with that, shall we?

Whether raised in poverty or wealth, you are both unaware of each other.

It can only be described as fate playing tricks on people.

But now, everyone returning to their own place, isn’t it quite good?"

Seeing that Old Master Hu’s tone had softened, Qin Zhong and Lu Zhenguo also breathed a sigh of relief.

They couldn’t delay any longer; it was time to leave.

Not to lose face here anymore.

The two men were about to take their leave.

Old Master Hu’s voice was even kinder than they expected, and he said to them with a laugh, "If you two hadn’t come, I might have never known about Little Nuan’s connections with the Qin family and the Lu family in all my life."

Qin Zhong and Lu Zhenguo looked at each other, completely dumbfounded.

Old Mr. Hu’s words sounded nice, but why did they feel so harsh to the ear?

And made their faces turn even redder.

As if their old faces had been completely stripped clean.

Old Mr. Hu said, "Now that you know, on Little Nuan’s account, if you have any issues you can come to me."

Qin Zhong and Lu Zhenguo had never imagined that Old Master Hu would say such a thing.

If it had been before, Lu Zhenguo wouldn’t know how happy to be.

He certainly would’ve spoken to Old Master Hu about his son’s postgraduate studies.

After all, his son was both talented and studious, and he guessed Old Master Hu could secure him a spot for guaranteed enrollment.

But how could he possibly say anything about it now?

The same was true for Qin Zhong.

He couldn’t express the complexity of his feelings clearly.

He just felt as though everything he knew had been turned upside down.

They had come today to tell Old Mr. Hu not to be deceived by Song Yunuan.

They also didn’t want Song Yunuan to pull the tiger’s skin to make a big banner.

But in the end, they had actually gotten a promise from Old Mr. Hu by riding on Little Nuan’s coattails.

This... how could they even begin to explain this?

Both men also became wary at the same time, and once they returned, they would have to tell their own children to never cross paths with Song Yunuan again.

Old Master Hu was truly protecting her.

Qin Zhong and Lu Zhenguo were simply too curious.

They didn’t dare to think in a dirty direction.

After all, Old Master Hu was highly respectable and pure of character, and if they dared to doubt that, Old Master Hu would have had the power to cast their families into the dust.

So they had to warn Cai Jie and Xue Min when they got back.

But they absolutely must not talk nonsense.

With sweat soaking their backs, Qin Zhong and Lu Zhenguo left Old Mr. Hu’s office.

Old Mr. Hu was still smiling amiably as he saw them out the door.

Standing on the street, Qin Zhong and Lu Zhenguo looked at each other, both looking utterly miserable.

Thank goodness there wasn’t a fourth person who knew.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to lift their heads for the rest of their lives with such embarrassment.

The two men had come in the same car.

They didn’t get in the car right away but found a quiet place to calm down and catch their breath.

So everything Little Nuan had done had nothing to do with their two families.

Just now, they hadn’t dared to bring up the Zheng family.

The Zheng family was also one of the top figures in the province.

Old Master Zheng and Old Mr. Hu were about the same.

Could it be related to Old Mr. Zheng?

Was Old Master Hu just playing peacemaker?

Thinking of this possibility made them both tense again.

In any case, they just couldn’t accept that Song Yunuan had connections with such big-shot figures.

A country girl who had been sent back, without the help of their two families’ names, how could she possibly know these people?

What abilities did she have?

And Qin Zhong was the most incredulous of all.

He knew exactly what Song Yunuan was like.

He truly couldn’t believe that in just a few months, Song Yunuan had become so formidable.
