Chapter 1408: Chapter 1425: How Can You Be So Heartless

"Really? Even if you’re still in good health, you shouldn’t worry about your grandson like this, it makes me seem unfilial. You should trust that I can handle my own affairs well."

"What? Are you saying I can’t worry about you anymore? Ling’er, are you blaming me?" Nangong Jinlie asked coldly.

His smile finally couldn’t hold, and there was anger in his weathered eyes.

"I wouldn’t dare." Nangong Yaoling restrained his anger and said, "It’s just that the child is not only Xiaonuan’s but also mine, Nangong Yaoling’s child. If someone deliberately harmed him, no matter who that person is, they must be punished as they deserve!"

After speaking, Nangong Yaoling cast a cold glance at Nangong Zhongli on the ground.

Nangong Zhongli, frightened by Nangong Yaoling’s murderous gaze, trembled all over. Her lips quivered, but she suddenly seemed to summon the courage, got up from the ground, and shouted, "Stop talking, it’s all me! It’s all my doing! Grandpa... I know you meant well for me... The mistakes I’ve made are too deep... I’m not worth you getting hurt over me..."

Nangong Jinlie was gasping for breath heavily but couldn’t speak for a moment.

After Nangong Zhongli finished speaking, she glanced at Liang Shaochen, who stood silently by the side.

At this moment, Xia Xiaonuan suddenly thought of something.

She rushed forward, grabbed Nangong Zhongli’s arm, and questioned, "Tell me, was Qi Yue’s child also harmed by you?"

Nangong Zhongli was stunned upon hearing this.

Suddenly, she burst into laughter.

Her laughter was a bit hysterical, a bit neurotic.

She glared at Xia Xiaonuan and said viciously, "Xia Xiaonuan, I hate you! I hate everyone around you! Isn’t Qi Yue your best friend? So... I would never let her have what she wishes! It was I who had someone hit her with a car... I originally planned to make you misunderstand Young Master, and then break you two apart. But I never thought... after everything I did, your relationship didn’t seem to get worse, but instead, you trust each other even more than before!"

Tears covered Nangong Zhongli’s face as she spoke.

Xia Xiaonuan was completely immobilized, stepping back in shock.

At this moment, Nangong Yaoling stood there, his pupils narrowed in an instant. Then, his gaze shifted to the side towards Liang Shaochen.

Liang Shaochen’s face seemed devoid of any particular expression, his gaze was deep, and he looked at Nangong Zhongli impassively, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

Nangong Yaoling’s drooping hand suddenly clenched into a fist.

At this point, Xiaonuan suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Nangong Zhongli by the collar, incredulously cursing, "Nangong Zhongli, harming me is one thing, but how can you be so cruel as to not spare even Qi Yue’s child?! How can you be so vicious!? Don’t you feel any pangs of conscience?!"

Nangong Zhongli closed her eyes and just let Xiaonuan assault her.

In her mind, the conversation she had with Liang Shaochen in the car last night emerged.

Shaochen was a bit drunk, and in the carriage drifted his pleasant mint scent mixed with the smell of alcohol.

He murmured to her, you’ll never love me again, from now on, you have no need to love me...

She asked him why? She would never stop loving him, never!

But he suddenly burst into crazy laughter, something she had never seen him do, losing his composure like this.

He suddenly grabbed her shoulder, his eyes reddening, widening as he looked at her.
