Chapter 1080: Chapter 1122: Willfully Obstinate

Upon hearing this, Nan Jinning’s eyes lit up, and she tightly grasped Xue Rong’s hand, excitedly asking, "Auntie, do you have a plan?"

Xue Rong smiled smugly, "Just wait, I will definitely come up with a plan! I can’t believe that after maneuvering the business world for decades, I can’t figure out a little girl! Rest assured, I will find a way to break them up, and then you can marry Huo Junmo!"

Nan Jinning had never doubted Xue Rong’s abilities! Since her aunt could say this, it was enough to prove that she had a plan. Happily leaning on Xue Rong’s shoulder, she said with a smile like a blooming flower, "Thank you, Auntie, I knew you treat me the best!"

Hearing their conversation, Nan Mingchuan rubbed his throbbing temples and said patiently, "Alright, have you two made enough noise? Sisi has been dead for five years, if Huo Junmo wanted to marry Jinning, he would have done it long ago, why wait until now? He doesn’t like Jinning, no matter what you do, even if you break up Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue, he still won’t marry Jinning! If Huo Junmo is unwilling, can you force him and Jinning to the civil affairs bureau to get married?"

Xue Rong glared at Nan Mingchuan harshly, saying coldly, "I’m doing this for your own good! Huo Tian Group is financially powerful, and Huo Junmo, not to mention, you probably know his worth better than I do! Such a wealthy son-in-law, are you willing to let Ling Yueyue, that country girl, have him? Sisi is dead, if Jinning can marry Huo Junmo, it would be like the Nan and Huo families reuniting by marriage, which would be a great benefit for you and the Nanshang Group! I’m going to such lengths for you, yet you say such sarcastic words!"

Nan Mingchuan said helplessly, "I know you are doing it for me, for the Nanshang Group! But, impossible is impossible! Huo Junmo isn’t the same as before, he’s now one of the Jin City Five Young Masters, with capabilities beyond our imagination. A person like him, we can’t control! You haven’t even taken action yet, and he’s already targeting the Nanshang Group. If you really do something to them, will he spare you or the Nanshang Group? You’ll end up ruining all we’ve built over a lifetime!"

Xue Rong laughed and confidently patted her chest, "Even if he knows, do you think he would really dare to act against us? Don’t forget, he promised Sisi to take care of our Nan family for life! Even if he knows I’m behind the scenes playing tricks to drive a wedge between them, he might be angry then, but he won’t take it out on us! Besides, if I’m going to act behind the scenes, I naturally won’t let him know I’m the one pulling the strings, so you don’t have to worry!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Mingchuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "Do you think Huo Junmo is a fool? He won’t know it’s you behind this? Paper can’t wrap fire, don’t be too smart for your own good, or you’ll end up harming others and yourself!"

Seeing Nan Mingchuan keep siding with Huo Junmo, Xue Rong frowned, impatiently saying, "Don’t bother me! You’re just dissatisfied because Jinning isn’t your biological child, so you don’t care about her at all. If she were your biological daughter, would you still be so indifferent? I’m telling you, ever since Sisi died, I’ve treated Jinning as my own daughter, and I can’t bear to see her suffer any grievance! No matter what, I’ll make sure she gets Huo Junmo, he can only be our Nan family’s son-in-law!"

Nan Mingchuan’s forehead veins twitched, and he gritted his teeth, squeezing out his words, "What nonsense are you spouting? How am I not good to Jinning? I’m just stating the facts! As Huo Junmo said, if he doesn’t like her, no matter how much you cultivate it, there will be no feelings! Forcing Jinning to marry Huo Junmo will only make both of them miserable and unhappy! If you truly love Jinning, you should find her a man who truly loves and cares for her, not try to wed her to someone who doesn’t!"

Despite Nan Mingchuan’s advice, Xue Rong only grew more emotional, "You just don’t like Jinning, just admit it! If you liked her, you’d be on the same side as me! All you care about is your company and the illegitimate daughter who disappeared twenty years ago! You just want to find that illegitimate daughter to inherit the Nan family business! I’m telling you, that’s never going to happen! Even if we both die, all the Nan family’s inheritance will go to Jinning, and not a cent to outsiders!"

Seeing Xue Rong stubbornly refuse to listen to any advice, even bringing up old matters, Nan Mingchuan lost his patience, no longer wanting to talk to her, directly warning, "You’re like a stone in the latrine, both smelly and hard! I don’t care what you plan on doing, but I warn you, if you dare harm the Nanshang Group, don’t blame me for forgetting thirty years of marriage! Mind your own business!"

Facing Nan Mingchuan’s warning, Xue Rong disdainfully raised her eyebrows, letting out a cold snort, "Hmph! Don’t meddle! I, Xue Rong, only allow success, not failure—just wait and see how I tear those two apart!"

"...!" Nan Mingchuan glared at Xue Rong, unwilling to say more, closing his eyes to ignore the situation.

Seeing that Nan Mingchuan finally stopped talking, Xue Rong smirked confidently at Nan Jinning, promisingly smiling, then closed her eyes to start planning!

Meanwhile, far at home, Ling Yueyue and Huo Junmo were completely unaware of Xue Rong’s plots, living a brief happy and joyful life.

Time quietly passed, and in the blink of an eye, another two months went by, and Ling Yueyue’s belly grew day by day! However, compared to others in the same month, her belly was still much smaller.

During these two months, apart from going to the company, Huo Junmo mostly stayed at home with her! When Huo Junmo was at work, Ling Yueyue would go shopping with her friend Ye Anxin.

The relationship between Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue grew better and better!

Although Huo Jiantian still liked to bicker and play around with Ling Yueyue, he restrained himself a lot, fearing that if Ling Yueyue became upset and affected her pregnancy, his father would scold him.

In the blink of an eye, a summer had completely passed! Ling Yueyue’s belly was still not as big as other pregnant women of the same month!

That day was precisely the day for a prenatal checkup, so Huo Junmo specifically arranged his company affairs, personally driving Ling Yueyue to the hospital for the checkup!

After completing a series of checkups, Huo Junmo handed the results to the doctor, nervously asking, "Doctor, my wife’s belly is much smaller than other women of the same month, what’s going on? Could it be that the baby isn’t developing well?"
