Chapter 648 - 0650: Nangong Yunhai
Huai Fu Fangyang, in the end, wasn’t as shameless as Zheng Yan, unable to spout nonsense with eyes wide open. Therefore, she was instantly silenced by Zheng Yan, wanting to counterattack but not knowing how to.
Fortunately, Nangong Man Sha was bold. Hearing Zheng Yan belittling her mother like that, she couldn’t hold back.
Thus, Nangong Man Sha raised an eyebrow, her already radiant face gained an additional charm, she crossed her arms as she circled around Nangong Yun Ruo and then stood right in front of him.
Nangong Man Sha was nearly 1.7 meters tall, which was quite tall for a girl. Nangong Yun Ruo, because his mother Zheng Yan was not very tall, was also only about 1.7 meters. Looking at them, Nangong Man Sha was about the same height as Nangong Yun Ruo, so even when she stood in front of this man, there was no hint of weakness in her presence.
"Well, well, well, such a big child we have here, I’ve really seen something new today. Aunty, Yun Ruo is only a few months younger than me, my brother Yun Hai never said he was still a child, yet you claim Yun Ruo is a child, aren’t you looking down on him? Oh dear, Aunty, this really won’t do, if you treat him like this, Yun Ruo will turn out bad, become one of those ’momma’s boys,’ you know? It’s quite popular on the internet now, referring to men in their twenties who still think they’re kids and just cry for their moms all day."
Nangong Man Sha wasn’t as gentle as Huai Fu Fangyang, and her words were sharp. Her gaze was piercing as well, and although she didn’t directly express her disdain for Nangong Yun Ruo, her attitude was provoking enough to infuriate Zheng Yan.
Zheng Yan was so angry that her body began to tremble slightly. Looking at the patriarchs of the two families, Old Master Nangong’s eldest son Nangong Linchuan and the second son Nangong Yang, both seemed to have not noticed the struggle between the women and remained silent.
Although Nangong Yun Ruo was angry that Nangong Man Sha dared to look down on him, he knew that she wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Growing up, he had never gotten the better of her, so naturally, even with the discontent in his heart, Nangong Yun Ruo had to endure.
"Hmph! Can’t be bothered to argue with you!" Nangong Yun Ruo snorted coldly and turned his head to look outside. That glance happened to catch Chu Ge saying something amusing, and even the usually grave Old Master Nangong was laughed heartily.
In Nangong Yun Ruo’s memory, it had been a long time since he had seen Old Master Nangong laugh so heartily. On normal days, even when facing them with a smile, it was only a slight one. Such a hearty laugh had never been seen before.
Nangong Yun Ruo’s movements were too significant, so it was impossible for the people nearby not to notice. Zheng Yan, who hadn’t realized at first, called out to Nangong Yun Ruo twice. Seeing he didn’t respond and was just staring outside, she followed his gaze and immediately saw Old Master Nangong having a pleasant chat with Chu Ge, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Her expression was so obvious that it instantly drew the attention of others. Apart from Nangong Linchuan and his wife who had returned with Chu Ge, everyone else turned to look outside and showed surprised expressions.
