Chapter 2639 - 2640: The Death Order

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. Believe it or not." Nangong Xiao pursed her lips, her attitude hardening a bit.

Hearing this, Li Hui’s brow furrowed, and she couldn’t help but toughen her stance as well, directly saying, "Nangong Xiao, what kind of attitude is this? I’m seriously discussing this with you, what kind of attitude is this?"

"What attitude did I have?" Nangong Xiao was a bit unconvinced, "Didn’t I already explain to you? He was just asking me about a question, but you guys keep digging, keep trying to pin something on us? Are you guys just afraid of us being together?"

Nangong Xiao spoke quite directly.

Li Hui was quite angry upon hearing this and couldn’t help but say, "Afraid of you two being together? Should you two even be together? Can you be together? Nangong Xiao, you’re five years older than him, right? Not only that, but you’re a generation above him, you’re in the same generation as his mom. So, tell me, if you two end up together, how will you address Gu Qibao? Call her sister or mom?"

Upon hearing Li Hui’s words, Nangong Xiao’s face immediately darkened. She stood up, somewhat angrily, and said, "There’s nothing between him and me, look at the awful things you’re saying!"

"You’re older, and you’re the elder, so I hope you don’t do anything foolish, do you understand?" Li Hui also spoke very directly, and since the words were already so blunt, she might as well be even more straightforward.

Thinking this, Li Hui immediately said, "So, Nangong Xiao, I’m giving you a strict order now: under no circumstances can you be with Di Yimo. Your dad said if you want to be with him, you’d have to sever ties with the Nangong Family!"

Nangong Xiao looked at Li Hui, somewhat unconvinced, and said, "Mom, do you really have to say these unnecessary things? I already know I can’t be with him, and what does leaving the Nangong Family mean?"

"The literal meaning." Li Hui’s attitude remained firm, "In any case, Nangong Xiao, I’m warning you ahead of time, under no circumstances will we ever approve of you and Di Yimo, and you’d better not get involved with him unless you want the Nangong Family and Di Family to not even be able to be friends in the future!"

Nangong Xiao instantly felt wronged, really a bit aggrieved, and couldn’t help but say, "Mom, there’s really nothing between him and me, why are you all so tense!"

Seeing Nangong Xiao like this, Li Hui felt a bit distress too and sighed, "Xiaoxiao, it’s not that I’m being old-fashioned, I’m actually feeling quite sorry too, but..."

"I understand." Nangong Xiao interrupted Li Hui, "I know and understand what you mean, rest assured, there’s absolutely no possibility between Di Yimo and me. I wouldn’t initiate anything with him, and even if he approached me, I wouldn’t agree!"

As Nangong Xiao spoke, her expression was somewhat stubborn, which made Li Hui feel even more heartache.

But heartache aside, isn’t this the best solution?

It’s better than having feelings develop between two people and then trying to separate them, isn’t it?

"Xiaoxiao..." Li Hui wanted to say something more, but Nangong Xiao stubbornly turned away, refusing to look back or hear another word from Li Hui.

Her back was so stubborn that Li Hui felt a tightness in her chest and quickly called out to her, "Xiaoxiao, Nangong Xiao!"

But she still stubbornly didn’t look back.

Li Hui furrowed her brow, let out a deep sigh, and then turned to look at Nangong Tiancheng, unable to help but ask seriously, "Are we being a bit too harsh?"
