Chapter 1883: Never Again

In this world, small fish ate shrimps, and big fish ate small fish. If you wanted to avoid being bullied or stepped on by others, you would have to rise to the top of the food chain. Only from the top would you be able to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Even in the face of Old Master Ning’s extremely humble attitude, Nangong Nuannuan did not feel flattered at all. She nodded and admitted, “Yes. This time, it was indeed my intention to let the Hengliang Group go. Just as Old Master Ning said, making the Hengliang Group go bankrupt would be just a matter of lifting a finger for the Imperial Phoenix Group. Moreover, I did not think that it was an overreaction for me to ask for them to go bankrupt. I have always adhered to the principle that if people do not hurt me, I will not hurt them. But if people hurt me, I’ll repay twofold. Yuan Anmin and his wife were going to beat up my nephew before even trying to talk things out. To put it bluntly, they felt that because they had Xiao Yushan as a backer, who was not only Old Master Xiao’s daughter, but also Old Master Ning’s daughter-in-law, they were invincible. That was why they dared to be so unscrupulous.

“What’s the point of beating a dog to death if it’s wild enough to snap at people? Isn’t the dog’s aggressive behavior due to its owner failing to train it? My big brother, Chi Yang, and Ning Wenhao are brothers. Although Ning Wenhao doesn’t associate with the Ning family, the blood of the family still flows through his veins. So as long as Ning Wenhao doesn’t start a fight to the death with the Ning family, I should at least give him some face for his own sake as his sister-in-law, right? So, after I went back and thought about it, I withdrew my revenge on the Hengliang Group and decided on just a mild punishment instead.”

Nangong Nuannuan’s words caused the corners of everyone’s mouths to twitch again.

Arrogance could no longer be used to describe this Miss Nangong.

Those who felt that the Shi family wanted to throw the Nangong family under the bus were now corrected.

The Nangong family was lucky to have such a young lady with an extremely luxurious dowry. It was predicted that the Nangong family’s position would not be shaken anytime in the next few decades.

Looking at Chi Yang and Old Master Chi’s carefree expressions and the fact that they had no intention of disciplining the future young madam of the Chi family, everyone felt that although Nangong Nuannuan was arrogant, she had the right to be.

Not only was she powerful, but she managed to make her husband and grandfather-in-law obedient to her.

Although Old Master Ning was furious, he could only shamelessly nod to avoid continuing to lose money. He replied, “Yes, yes, that Yuan Anmin is a vicious dog. It was my daughter-in-law’s family that did not raise him well, making him to come out and randomly attack people. Our Ning family would never tolerate such a vicious dog.”

After witnessing Old Master Ning’s good attitude, Nangong Nuannuan nodded and sighed. “I can understand Old Master Ning’s frustration. Your family is big and has all kinds of people. Yuan Anmin is a bad apple in your barrel of many. Since Old Master Ning personally interceded on behalf of the Hengliang Group, I’ll let them off this time. However, I also hope that Old Master Ning will handle Yuan Anmin’s matter well. Don’t let him go to school again to cause trouble for my nephew, even if he’s desperate. If my nephew gets hurt, then…”

“Chairman Nangong, don’t worry. What you’re worried about will definitely not happen.”

Nangong Nuannuan smiled. “That’s good.”
