Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Will Not Disappoint You

A sea-view villa in City A.

Nan Zhuoyuan stood in front of the French windows, staring at the churning sea outside.

He kept lighting cigarettes, one after another, his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting a cold light in the dark night.

Li Xue stood on the stairs, watching his lonely silhouette, step by step she moved to his side, and plucked the cigarette from his hand.

"Zhuo Yuan, stop smoking."

Nan Zhuoyuan snapped back to reality, saw it was her, and his icy eyes finally showed a hint of disarray as they settled on her in confusion.

"Li Xue, I was wrong," he said. "I thought by taking the report back home, mom and dad would realize that Xiao Yu was their real daughter. It was my arrogance, underestimating Nan Qingqing."

"Nan Qingqing came home early today and told mother about it as if she were lodging a complaint. Because mom believes she is her biological daughter, she trusts her unconditionally, and won’t believe me or Xiao Yu at all."

As he spoke, a pained look flashed in his eyes, "Thankfully, I didn’t force Xiao Yu to come back with me. If she had heard the words mother said about her, she would have been so upset."

Li Xue put her hand on his shoulder, comforting him earnestly, "Zhuo Yuan, Nan Luzhi and his family are more despicable than we imagined; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been capable of such disgusting deeds."

"You’re not to blame for today. If there’s any blame, it’s because we haven’t fully understood our opponents, and haven’t prepared a plan in advance for such emergencies."

Nan Zhuoyuan looked at the sensible Li Xue, and clarity began to replace the confusion in his eyes.

Li Xue continued, "Zhuo Yuan, today’s accident is also a good thing. It’s a wake-up call for us to be more cautious going forward and not to simplify this situation."

Nan Zhuoyuan nodded in agreement, "You’re right. I need to prepare a more foolproof plan to ensure nothing goes wrong."

He paused, a look of despair in his eyes, "But I’m at a loss right now, without any clue about what to do."

Li Xue met his gaze, "Zhuo Yuan, this could be a great opportunity. Why don’t you talk to Xiao Yu about it and see if she has any good ideas?"

Nan Zhuoyuan’s face showed hesitation, and he spoke anxiously, "I said I’d handle the family affairs. Now, if I go to her, won’t that disappoint her?"

Li Xue pressed his shoulder, her gentle voice soothing his emotions.

"Zhuo Yuan, you’re family. She won’t be disappointed with you. On the contrary, this will make her feel valued."

Nan Zhuoyuan pursed his lips and frowned deeply, not saying a word.

Li Xue persuaded, "Although I haven’t met her, from what you’ve told me about her, I think she would be very willing to work with you, her big brother, to find a solution to this problem."

Images of Nan Yu holding their mother’s photo flashed through Nan Zhuoyuan’s mind, bringing a wave of sourness to his heart.

"I’m going to call her now."

Li Xue stopped him, "It’s four in the morning. Call her tomorrow morning, or send her a message first."

Nan Zhuoyuan nodded, "Then I’ll call her tomorrow morning."

The next morning, early.

The sleepless Nan Zhuoyuan watched as the clock struck eight and immediately called Nan Yu.

The call connected quickly.

As soon as it was answered, Nan Zhuoyuan rushed to spill all the thoughts he had brewed over the night.

"Xiao Yu, I want to say I’m sorry. I was blindly confident this time, underestimated Nan Qingqing, never expected that she’s such a good actress, managing to get home before me..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when Nan Yu on the other end interrupted him.

"Big brother, did she say it was me who deceived you, intentionally trying to steal her identity and take everything from her?"

Nan Zhuoyuan stood frozen, and after a long moment, he could only utter, "How did you know?"

Suddenly wide awake, his mind racing, "Xiao Yu, has she always been like this to you? Is that why you’re so familiar with her disgusting tactics!"
