Chapter 1143: Collecting Her Own Debt
"Did she come to trouble you again?" As soon as Jiang Xue spoke, Nangong Chen’s expression darkened, and his brows furrowed.
Previously, he had already reprimanded Nangong Yao, but he didn’t expect her to ignore his warning. It seems he’s going to have to properly straighten out the Nangong Family to prevent them from disregarding him, treating his words as just empty sounds.
Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Yes, she found a few men with sticks to attack me. Luckily my brother was there, otherwise, my child and I would have been in trouble."
Upon hearing this, the aura around Nangong Chen turned colder, and he said to Jiang Xue with a serious face, "Miss Jiang, I will give you an explanation for this matter."
However, Jiang Xue refused, saying, "Mr. Nangong, I prefer to settle scores myself. So, just tell me her address."
"Miss Jiang, are you sure?" Nangong Chen looked deeply at Jiang Xue. He had investigated her before and knew she was quite capable.
But Nangong Yao is a young lady of the Nangong Family, with guards around her twenty-four hours a day. Even with the Lu Family’s protection, it’s uncertain if Jiang Xue can contend with the Nangong Family.
"I’m sure!" Jiang Xue nodded sincerely. She wasn’t someone to act impulsively. If she was going to do something, she had definitely thought it through.
So what if the Nangong Family is powerful? She would make Nangong Yao suffer in silence until she begged in front of her.
"Alright, I’ll tell you!" Nangong Chen didn’t persuade her further. No matter what, if Jiang Xue wanted to try it herself, then let her try. If anything really happened, he would still be here.
He certainly wouldn’t let Jiang Xue suffer.
With this in mind, Nangong Chen promptly told Jiang Xue where Nangong Yao lived. Unfamiliar with Beijing, Jiang Xue gave the address Nangong Chen wrote to Lu Jintian, then asked, "Brother, do you know this place?"
Lu Jintian glanced at it and nodded. He hadn’t expected Nangong Yao to live there; although it wasn’t easy to access, it wouldn’t be too difficult for him.
Seeing Lu Jintian nod, Jiang Xue then put away the note and said to Nangong Chen, "Thank you."
After speaking, she stood up and said, "It’s getting late, I won’t disturb Mr. Nangong’s rest, goodbye!"
Hearing Jiang Xue was leaving, Nangong Chen wanted to persuade her to stay, but Jiang Xue didn’t give him the chance, already stepping out of the main hall with her child.
Watching Jiang Xue’s fleeing figure, Nangong Chen sighed inwardly, then got up to catch up with Jiang Xue, seeing her and Lu Jintian out.
Outside Chenyuan, Jiang Xue let out a small sigh of relief. She truly feared Nangong Chen would try to make her stay, which would have been a waste of words and could have led to an unpleasant argument.
This was better. He didn’t try to keep her, so she didn’t have to say anything hurtful.
Jiang Xue paused at Chenyuan’s gate, waved to Nangong Chen, and got into the car with Lu Jintian. It was not until the car left the range of Chenyuan that Jiang Xue truly breathed and relaxed.
She didn’t know, though, that Nangong Chen stood at Chenyuan’s gate watching them leave, only turning back when their car was far away.
"Come here!" Nangong Chen shouted, and a subordinate appeared promptly, respectfully asking, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
"Send someone to protect her. I don’t want her to be harmed."
"Yes!"
