Le Yao was shocked. Fortunately, her body was agile. She leaned back and turned around, dodging the other party’s blood-red nails.

If she had reacted slower just now, she would probably have been blinded.

“You still dare to dodge? You…” He Rong’s voice rose.

“Enough,” Nangong Jue suddenly roared.

He Rong shivered in fear.

“Lan, come here.” Nangong Jue reached out to Le Yao.

Le Yao walked around He Rong to the bed and put down the food box in her hand.

“Are you hurt?” Nangong Jue seriously sized up Le Yao’s face.

“It’s fine. I dodged quickly and she didn’t touch me.” Le Yao smiled.

“Don’t worry.” Then, she glanced at the other two women in the room. She had an impression of them. They were He Song’s wife, Yan Mei, and her daughter, He Yawei.

Yan Mei had never looked down on her sister-in-law, He Rong. She didn’t even let her children interact with Auntie He Rong, afraid that He Rong’s personality would affect the children.

It was rare for them to come together today.

Yan Mei smiled at Le Yao as a greeting, but He Yawei rolled her eyes.

Le Yao:

Who did she offend?

“You brat, for an outsider…” He Rong had already reacted and rushed over to make a scene.

“Hei Ying,” Nangong Jue shouted.

Hei Ying walked in very quickly.

When He Rong saw Hei Ying, her face turned pale. “Alright, I won’t say anything else, okay?” This Hei Ying was a barbarian, and he only listened to Ah Jue. He didn’t give face to anyone else. If Ah Jue asked him to throw her out, he would definitely do it.

He had thrown her out last time, so she really did not dare to challenge her son’s patience.

However, he disliked Le Yao even more.

“Alright, as you can see, I’m fine now.” Nangong Jue glanced at He Rong and then at Yan Mei. “I understand what Eldest Aunt is saying.

However, I’m afraid I can’t help. After all, I’m no longer in the Nangong Corporation.”

“Then forget it.” Yan Mei stood up. “Yawei, let’s go.” She put on the airs of an official’s wife.

He Yawei left the ward first.

“Aren’t you leaving?” Nangong Jue glanced at He Rong, who was still there. “Don’t worry. As long as I don’t die, I won’t starve you to death.”

“You…” He Rong wanted to say something else, but seeing her son’s impatient expression, she could only glare at Le Yao and turn to leave.

Le Yao touched her nose. Why were all of them so mean to her? Who had she provoked?

“Lan, ignore them.” Nangong Jue held Le Yao’s hand. “They’re all unimportant people.”

“Unimportant? But they—

“In my heart, she’s just a stranger related to me by blood.” Nangong Jue reached out and hugged Le Yao’s waist, leaning his head against her. “Lan, in this world, you’re the only one who doesn’t have any ulterior motives about me…’

“Let’s eat.” Le Yao patted the other party’s arm. “Otherwise, it’ll get cold. Also, why is your aunt looking for you?” She was a little curious.

“Madam Yan wants to collaborate with the Nangong Corporation, but because of He Rong, the Nangong family doesn’t like the He family. She wants me to step in and pull the strings.” Nangong Jue shrugged and took the chopsticks. “She thinks too highly of me..”
