Chapter 378


    “That’s a lot of information you’ve got there. It’s clearly collected and organized, so tell me...


    Where do you find so many friends so quickly after your return? Even if they were old friends of


    yours, it would be too much of a coincidence for them to all know so much about her.”


    As the saying goes, the elder really is the wiser. I thought Nan Zhengde would be losing his


    mind from anger, but he’s surprisingly calm and level-headed! I don’t think I can handle any


    more of his questions.


    “I know you don’t believe me, so just forget I have said anything!” Bai Hua pretended to cry, but


    it didn’t look convincing at all.


    “Of course, I don’t believe you! Who told you to do this? Who helped you dig all that dirt on


    her? And what would that person stand to gain out of all this?” Nan Zhengde continued


    pushing her for answers.


    “There really is no such person! With how advanced technology is nowadays, you can easily


    find all this information online!” Bai Hua was finally able toe up with a more reasonable


    excuse.


    “While I may not be too familiar with the inte, I do know that most of the stuff online are


    fake. Did you base all of your usations off unreliable information found on the inte?”


    Nan Zhengde asked.


    Bai Hua was close to losing her temper. What a difficult old man! You’re the one that asked me


    for more information, and now you’re suspecting me instead? Whose side are you on anyway?


    However, she didn’t dare show any signs of her anger whatsoever.


    “You’re right, dad. I shouldn’t have criticized her like that without any solid evidence. I admit


    that I was wrong, but I only did this out of concern for Chen! I want him to marry someone


    decent who can help him out with his career!” Bai Hua tried to please Nan Zhengde.


    “You can leave now. Don’t cause any more trouble! I won’t forgive anyone who meddles with


    the affairs of Nan family. Do you hear me?” Nan Zhengde shouted.


    “Yes, dad. I understand.”


    Bai Hua quickly turned around and left the scene.


    “Were you aware of all this?” Nan Zhengde asked Nan Zhiyuan.


    “No, I wasn’t! I intend to look after you ever since I came back, so I didn’t have any time nor energy for


    that nonsense!”


    “Is that so?” Nan Zhengde wasn’t convinced.


    “Yes, I really don’t know anything about that. Don’t worry, I won’t meddle in the affairs of Nan family


    affairs anymore,” Nan Zhiyuan said.


    “I hope so. All right, you may leave now. Have the butlere in,” Nan Zhengde said.


    “Okay.”


    The Nan family butler, Chai Hua, came in a few minutes after Nan Zhiyuan left.


    Chai Hua was a slightly chubby man in his fifties and loved wearing an old-fashioned grey suit like the


    mob bosses did in movies.


    “Old Master.” Chai Hua bowed politely before Nan Zhengde and addressed him as he always did.


    “Call Chen and have hime over,” Nan Zhengde said.


    “Right now?”


    “No, do it tomorrow or the day after. Just tell him to drop by whenever he’s free.”


    “Do I tell him the reason foring over?” Chai Hua asked.


    “Yes, get him toe and pray to help calm himself down by listening to some chanting.”


    “Yes, Old Master,” Chai Hua responded.


    He was about to leave when Nan Zhengde called out to him again.


    “Wait, there’s something I’d like to ask you.”

    “What is it, Old Master?”


    “Please, drop the formalities. You’ve been working in the Nan family for so many years now,


    we’re as close as family,” Nan Zhengde said with a frown.


    “This is just basic etiquette.” Chai Hua chuckled.


    “Chen is supposed to escort a very important guest today, but I heard he has ditched the guest


    over a woman. I just wanted to ask your opinion on his character. Do you think he is the type to


    act so selfishly and irresponsibly?” Nan Zhengde asked.


    “Hmm... I don’t know.” Chai Hua kept his reply vague.


    “Just answer me honestly, and don’t tell me you don’t know when you’ve looked after him since


    he was a child. What do you think of his character?”


    “Young Master Chen is, without a doubt, a giant among men. Combine that with his training and


    experience, and I believe he may very well surpass your aplishments in the future.”


    “So you don’t think he’d let a woman control him, do you?”


    “No, I don’t.” Chai Hua nodded.


    “Me neither. Help me keep an eye on the eavesdropping couple outside. I want to know who


    they’ve been in contact withtely,” Nan Zhengde said.


    Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan had their ears pressed against the door, and they went pale upon


    hearing that.
