Chapter 1472: Chapter 1489: Nangong Jinlie’s Final Ultimatum (Part 1)

"Son, Xiaonuan, the meal is ready. Get ready to wash your hands and eat! Mr. Chen, why hasn’t Dad come down yet?"

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from the stairway.

Nangong Jinlie was seen coming down from upstairs, but to everyone’s surprise, there was a girl accompanying him.

Xiaonuan took a closer look, and wasn’t that girl Liang Yuzhu?

"Yaoling! You’re back!" Liang Yuzhu shouted upon seeing Nangong Yaoling and ran downstairs like a butterfly, grabbing his arm affectionately.

Nangong Yaoling glanced at Liang Yuzhu, his face turned slightly dark.

"What are you doing here?"

"Why can’t I be here?" Liang Yuzhu pouted in dissatisfaction, "I came to see Grandpa today! As it turns out, Aunt said you would be back tonight, so I stayed for dinner too."

Nangong Yaoling smiled at her, discreetly withdrawing his arm.

"Well, in that case, let’s get ready to eat."

Saying this, he walked over to Xiaonuan and wrapped his arm around her waist.

Liang Yuzhu watched him with Xiaonuan, and jealousy and anger flashed in her eyes.

She glanced at Mrs. Nangong, who gave her a knowing look, forcing her to suppress her anger.

She laughed and said, "Alright! I’ll go help Grandpa." With that, she turned and ran to Nangong Jinlie, who was already halfway down, and said eagerly, "Grandpa, let me help you."

"Good, good... my Zhu’er is so thoughtful." Nangong Jinlie laughed, "If Ling’er had a twin brother, I would definitely have him marry you as my granddaughter-in-law."

Xia Xiaonuan felt a pang in her heart as she heard this.

Sure enough, she saw Nangong Jinlie glance in her direction.

Was he hinting at that matter?

If she doesn’t leave Nangong Yaoling, would he tell him about it?

No...

Xiaonuan’s face turned pale, almost bloodless.

At this moment, unexpectedly, Nangong Yaoling suddenly spoke up, "Grandpa, what are you saying? Why a twin brother? I think Feihong is good, he and Yuzhu are a perfect match. If they agree, she can be your granddaughter-in-law too."

Xia Xiaonuan: "..." Originally, she was feeling gloomy, but upon hearing this, she looked at Nangong Yaoling. He seemed earnest, not joking at all.

As if sensing her thoughts, he glanced at her, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Xiaonuan almost burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, Nangong Jinlie’s face had already turned dark.

Liang Yuzhu exclaimed in shock, "Yaoling! What are you talking about? Feihong and I are impossible!"

"Why impossible? I think it’s great. Yuzhu, since Grandpa likes you so much, why don’t you two give it a try?"

Nangong Yaoling teased, intentionally saying this. He knew very well what Liang Yuzhu was up to; if he didn’t thwart her plan, she’d definitely get worse.

Moreover, Nangong Jinlie’s words were clearly implying something, and Nangong Yaoling wasn’t foolish. He decided to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Grandpa!

"You...!" Liang Yuzhu had already reached the bottom of the stairs, angry, she stomped and her face turned red, her eyes slightly watery. "Grandpa, look!"

Lan Jinqin, who was watching, didn’t look too pleased either. Seeing this, she quickly stepped in to mediate, "Alright, alright, Dad, dinner is ready. Everyone hurry and wash your hands for dinner!"

And so, the group seated themselves at the dining table.
