Chapter 598 - Gong Ou's Explosion prelude
"I heard that Miss Xi was born a commoner and studied in a university, but I have never heard of him. Our second young master has always had his eyes set on the top, and I helped him pick out a few young miss from the big families. He was not satisfied with them, and ended up liking the Miss Xi."
"Yeah. In particular, that Miss Lancaster, who was born beautiful and intelligent, is now married to an American, and has prepared a mountain of property for her. ""I wonder how much has been prepared for you in Miss Xi's home?"
The three noble madams said one after another.
Shi Xiaonian stood in front of the easel and laughed, "I'm just a commoner, I don't have any family worth mentioning."
You're still laughing?Gong Ou immediately furrowed his brows.
Luo Qi, who was at the side, was sipping her tea. She could not listen to what was being said, and spoke coldly: "The minuscule thought has a family business in Italy, and has a lot of assets, as well as islands."
"What island?" The kind that can be bought with a little money? "Hehe."
The three ladies laughed again, as if they had heard a funny joke.Shi Xiaonian stood there quietly. She had already gotten used to this kind of mockery and ridicule. She drew calmly, but it was just that the wound on her wrist made it difficult for her to even draw.
She had been fine when she fell down, and her wrist had been completely twisted because of practice etiquette. Now, there was a short piece of medical board fixed to her wrist, which made it very inconvenient for her to paint.
Gong Ou's eyes became completely gloomy, and just as he was about to move forward, he saw an open space in front of him, and Luo Qi's expression became ugly, "Do you really think that our family will fall after marrying a commoner lady? "Before you speak, do you want to think about whether you can bully my husband or my son?"
Hearing this, the three noble madams exchanged a look and hid their smiles. "What are you angry about? We were just casually chatting."
"I'm sorry, I don't like this kind of conversation." Luo Qi got up from the sofa and glanced at Shi Xiaonian, "minuscule thought, let's go back. "See the guests out."
"Yes."
Shi Xiaonian nodded and followed Luo Qi out.Gong Ou stood behind the tree and looked at Shi Xiaonian. She followed behind Luo Qi with a calm expression and a faint smile on his face, as if he did not care about all the disturbance.
Was this what she heard in the Gong Jia?
Shi Xiaonian followed Luo Qi and left from another direction. Before she left, he heard the three noble madams whispering to each other, "I can't say anything."Exactly, Gong Jia isn't as good as before. He is just a merchant with the reputation of a noble, he doesn't have any backbone at all."
Between women, it seemed, words could never cease to be bitter.
Shi Xiaonian walked beside Luo Qi and whispered, "Sorry."
"You said that your original identity and background were not bad after washing them away, but now you've lost both your parents and now you're alone. You can't even gain some face for yourself if you want to." Luo Qi said somewhat helplessly.
"…"Shi Xiaonian's expression remained indifferent, as she quietly listened, devoid of any sounds.
"I'll go back and rest."
Luo Qi turned and left.
Gong Ou slowly walked behind Shi Xiaonian. Looking at her slender figure, she used her right hand to support her head as she stood there with her head lowered."Miss Xi, those people have to a large extent still stuck to the corrupt traditions of the aristocrats. You are not the first one, and you will not be the last one, to be able to marry into an aristocrat or even into the royal family. Don't feel all the pressure." Charles stood behind Shi Xiaonian and said gently.
Shi Xiaonian stood under a tree and kept her finger alive. Hearing this, she laughed, "I know, I even went to see some of their deeds."
"Oh? Really, Miss Xi has really put in a lot of effort. "
"One is divorced, one is depressed until he's middle-aged, and the other is as thin as firewood. Until now, he hasn't been in good health." Shi Xiaonian laughed and said, "Nobility Clans and commoners are really two different worlds, I am already proficient in that."
Hearing her laughter, Gong Ou felt as if he was struck in the chest.
"…"Butler Charles stood there, speechless.
However, Shi Xiaonian had a face full of indifference, "Charles, you don't have to put on such an expression. I know very well what kind of price I have to pay for choosing such a path."Gong Ou stood not far away, his fingers tightly gripped the box in his hands.
"Oh right, Charles, I will be heading out later." Shi Xiaonian raised the branches that were too low and bent over.
"Are you going out again?"
Charles was stunned.
"Yes."Shi Xiaonian nodded and walked forward.
Gong Ou silently followed behind her. He did not disturb her, and his pitch black pupils became deeper and deeper.Shi Xiaonian walked out of the house and as usual, she thought of how to shake off Charles and the driver.
She held the phone and looked at the information on it.
After a while, a taxi stopped in front of her. She checked the license plate and the information, and found that they matched each other, then stepped forward and opened the door to get in.
The driver drove on without asking where she was going.
She was going to see Mo Nuo.Mo Nuo was now completely under the control of Mr. Y and was very obedient.
Lancaster family was at a loss.
Shi Xiaonian could not help but admire Mr. Y's ability to hide as if he had a huge system mechanism. Every time she went over there, Mr. Y could also arrange it flawlessly.
The car turned a few times, always in a place that was not easily discovered.
Finally, a black sedan pulled up at the beautiful seaside.
Shi Xiaonian opened the car door and got off. The fog by the ocean was very thick, the sunlight was still hazy and visibility was low.
She wrapped her coat around her and stepped forward.
The sound of waves hitting stone walls came from the mist, which caused Shi Xiaonian to hear until she was imprisoned in the tower.She cautiously made her way through the fog to the shore, where a huge white yacht was parked, hidden in the mist.
"You're here?"
A mature male voice sounded.A tall man stood on the yacht. He was dressed in elegant, light gray clothes. Under his slightly curled short hair, he wore sunglasses and a mask that made him hard to distinguish.
Mysterious Mr. Y.
"Yes."
Shi Xiaonian nodded to him, then carefully got on the boat. Mr. Y reached out his hand and pulled her along, reminding her, "Be careful."
"Alright."After saying this word, Shi Xiaonian suddenly felt a sharp glint from behind him.
"What's wrong?"
the man asked, hauling her onto the yacht.
Shi Xiaonian looked behind him and blinked her eyes suspiciously, then let go of the man's hand and said, "Maybe I was overthinking things. I kept having the feeling that someone was following me."
"They've swapped cars so many times that even Lancaster would not be able to keep up with you."
The man said, his voice mature and firm, his words clear and pure.
"True." Shi Xiaonian retracted her gaze and walked onto the deck. The boat was extremely quiet and she asked, "You still insist on not using too many people to watch?"Mr. Y. 's way of dealing with the Tibetan was to hide himself and keep watch, without underlings.
"The more people we use, the more we'll see. The fog here is very thick all year round, so I can be more careful. We can leave the yacht immediately." The man walked beside her and pointed in the direction of the cockpit. "This yacht of mine is the latest in a series of automated unmanned navigation techniques. I don't need a professional pilot. I can handle it myself.""That powerful?"
Shi Xiaonian replied, and looked back, and felt like she was being stared at.
"Impressive? You've been by that man's side for so long, you've seen all sorts of high-tech things, do you think there's anything that's amazing? " said Mr. Y with a smile.
"True."
Shi Xiaonian nodded, she had long been amazed by Gong Ou's high technology. She followed Mr. Y down the stairs and asked, "Why did Mo Nuo suddenly want to see me?"
"I guess she can't take it anymore." The man chuckled. "She thought Lancaster would be able to find her soon enough, but after so many days there was no news at all. She seemed a little agitated."
"I still have to thank you, Mister."
Shi Xiaonian said.
"A small matter."
Inside was a bedroom. Mo Nuo was currently lying on the bed with his hands separated and locked on either side of the bed, and a bit of blood was flowing out of his wrist. Under his long golden hair was a haggard face, which was covered with gauze, and his eyes were closed.
Shi Xiaonian slowly walked to the bedside and looked down at her.
Mo Nuo slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shi Xiaonian. Upon seeing him, Mo Nuo's eyes lit up and weakly sat up on the bed."When can you let me go?" Mo Nuo looked at Shi Xiaonian, his voice extremely weak, lacking the arrogance he had before, "I heard about Gong Ou's situation from him, he's currently recovering very well, really very well.
Seeing her like this, Shi Xiaonian could not help but frown.
"If you hadn't done those things then, you wouldn't be trapped here now."
Shi Xiaonian said lightly.
She was getting what she deserved.
"I've already done it. Four years have already passed, what else can I do?" Mo Nuo asked as he stared at her with his blue eyes, "Xi Xiaonian, let me go quickly."
"When will Gong Ou be able to completely recover and no longer restrict himself?"
Shi Xiaonian asked."He's almost here. Isn't he fine?" Mo Nuo said, his voice was weak, "Let me go, Xi Xiaonian, how about we write it off?"
"Do you have any hidden skills?" Mr. Y's voice sounded behind Shi Xiaonian.
Shi Xiaonian turned and looked at Mr. Y.
The man slowly walked to the end of the bed, bent down with both hands pressing onto the end of the bed, and reflecting Mo Nuo's haggard look in his sunglasses, he said, "I have investigated you, you are an extremely meticulous woman, take Gong Ou's illness for example, you forced him to train his self-control for four years in the name of treatment, and made him turn himself into someone else like an idiot. If not for Miss Xi insisting to look into your illness, they would not even be able to find out that you have a problem."
