Chapter 21: The Embarrassment of Nan Xuan Fei

At Xingyue Hotel, night fell.

When Bai Chen arrived at the restaurant again, he frowned slightly.

He did not have a good impression of this place.

Nan Yue Ran beside him felt the same way.

Nan Xuan Fei, who was with them, sneered at Bai Chen.

"Have you been here before, you country bumpkin? Someone like you from the countryside must have never seen such a fancy restaurant."

"Thanks to our Nan family, you can even step inside and take a look. Be grateful!"

Hearing this, Nan Yue Ran frowned.

"What are you talking about, Nan Xuan Fei! It’s just a restaurant! Why do you make it sound so grand?"

"A restaurant is simply a place to eat, right? No matter how fancy it is, it’s just a place to eat! You just like to target Bai Chen!"

Nan Xuan Fei coldly laughed, "So what if I target him! A muddy leg from the countryside—I’m looking down on him!"

"Moreover, Xingyue Hotel has already been acquired by the Yang Family! It’s now their property; it’s not some shabby restaurant!"

Nan Yue Ran wanted to say more but was stopped by Nan Jiang Hong.

"Enough! We’re at the entrance; why are you still arguing? Don’t you feel embarrassed? What will the Yang Family think of us?"

"Xuan Fei, why do you need to get angry with him? You’re the one who’s marrying into the Yang Family! You should have some grace; you don’t want to be seen as small-minded!"

Hearing this, Nan Xuan Fei chuckled, "I know, Grandpa!"

When Nan Xuan Fei turned back to look at Bai Chen, she put on a high-and-mighty expression again.

Afterward, Nan Jiang Hong frowned at Nan Yue Ran.

"Why did you bring him here today? Didn’t we say not to bring him? Instead of working on your relationship with Young Master Yang, you brought him along—what are you trying to achieve?"

Nan Yue Ran held her head high, "He is my husband! What’s wrong with bringing him?"

"I’m also here to let Yang Xiao Tian know that I’m married, so he can give up his hopes!"

"And I won’t divorce Bai Chen! Since I chose him, I will be loyal to him for life!"

After hearing this, Nan Jiang Hong shook his head, pointing at Nan Yue Ran, displaying an annoyed expression.

"Such a hopeless cause!"

Everyone entered the restaurant, and Nan Yue Ran walked at the back, continuing to comfort Bai Chen.

"Don’t bother with them! Once I finish talking to Yang Xiao Tian, we will leave!"

Seeing Nan Yue Ran’s serious demeanor, Bai Chen smiled gently.

With a wife like this, what more could he ask for?

Besides, he didn’t need to pay attention to the words of these ants.

Upon arriving on the second floor of Xingyue Hotel, they found that it had been transformed into a thousand-square-meter banquet hall.

As the Nan family arrived, someone immediately came to welcome them.

Bai Chen recognized the person standing before them; it was Zhu Wenlong, the manager of the lobby at Xingyue Hotel!

Zhu Wenlong hurried to flatter the members of the Nan family; after all, they were connected to the Yang family, and he had to impress them.

But when he spotted Bai Chen among the Nan family, his expression changed.

“It’s you!”

Nan Xuan Fei looked at the two with curiosity, “Manager Zhu knows this country bumpkin?”

Zhu Wenlong sneered at her words.

“Of course! This guy said that Xingyue Hotel is just a shabby restaurant! He even declared that there will be no more name of Xingyue Hotel in Lintai in the future!”

Hearing Zhu Wenlong’s words, Nan Xuan Fei burst out laughing, holding her stomach, shaking with amusement.

“That’s hilarious! You country bumpkin are truly amusing!”

Seeing her reaction, Zhu Wenlong tried to curry favor with Nan Xuan Fei, probing for information about Bai Chen.

“Miss Nan, how did this country bumpkin end up with your Nan family?”

“You’re engaged to the Yang family, so there shouldn’t be such a person in your Nan family!”

Nan Xuan Fei laughed coldly, glancing at Nan Yue Ran and Bai Chen.

“Who knows what my sister is thinking! How could she choose to marry such a country bumpkin?”

“What?!”

Zhu Wenlong was shocked, his gaze darting back and forth between Nan Yue Ran and Bai Chen.

“That’s truly a pity! This gathering today is hosted by Young Master Yang Xiao Tian. The whole Lintai knows how Young Master Yang wooed your sister!”

“What a shame! I didn’t expect your sister… tsk tsk!”

Zhu Wenlong shook his head, not continuing. He, as a hotel manager, did not have the qualification to go further.

Noticing that Nan Jiang Hong’s face looked a little poor, Zhu Wenlong quickly excused himself.

Nan Jiang Hong snorted coldly.

“Did you see that? After today, the whole Lintai will probably laugh at our Nan family again!”

Everyone instinctively glanced at Nan Yue Ran and Bai Chen, a flicker of disdain in their eyes.

At that moment, the Yang family noticed the arrival of the Nan family and immediately called over Nan Xuan Fei’s fiancé, Yang Ling, to greet them.

He was also the cousin of Yang Xiao Tian.

“Hubby! You’re here!”

Seeing Yang Ling approach, Nan Xuan Fei displayed a face full of happiness.

Yang Ling didn’t seem to care much for Nan Xuan Fei. He politely greeted the Nan family and then looked toward Nan Yue Ran in the crowd.

When he saw Nan Yue Ran, he immediately smiled.

“Sister Yue Ran! You’ve come! My brother specifically asked me to take good care of you!”

The surrounding members of the Nan family felt a bit awkward at this scene.

Nan Xuan Fei showed a trace of jealousy.

Yang Ling was her fiancé! It was bad enough that he didn’t show her any closeness, but why was he fawning over a woman with such a bad reputation?

He actually smiled at Nan Yue Ran! He didn’t even give her a smile!

Thinking of this, Nan Xuan Fei felt even more jealous of Nan Yue Ran. She wrapped her arms around Yang Ling’s, her fullness rubbing against his arm.

“Hubby~ you don’t care about me anymore~”

Feeling the softness on his arm, Yang Ling’s expression softened a bit, and he quickly smiled at Nan Xuan Fei.

“Xuan Fei, you’re overthinking it. Of course not!”

“By the way, how is that matter you mentioned last time?”

“That matter?” Nan Xuan Fei looked puzzled.

Yang Ling frowned.

“It’s about the century-old purple ganoderma. Didn’t you say you found one? Hurry and bring it to me! I want to give it to my grandfather! This is a rare opportunity! I want to show off in front of him!”

Hearing Yang Ling’s words, Nan Xuan Fei’s face went pale, and she found herself speechless.

Seeing her reaction, Yang Ling’s brows furrowed, “Hmm?”

“The century-old purple ganoderma is gone…”

“What?!”

Yang Ling’s face stiffened, and then he exploded in anger.

After learning that Nan Xuan Fei had found a century-old purple ganoderma, he had bragged about presenting one to his grandfather. Now, Nan Yue Ran claimed it was gone! Where could he hide his shame?

“What on earth is going on?!”

Yang Ling struggled to contain his anger as he looked at Nan Xuan Fei.

Nan Xuan Fei swallowed hard, trembling slightly.

“I had already contacted the Zhao family! I had reserved a century-old purple ganoderma, but they said it was gone!”

Upon hearing Nan Xuan Fei’s words, Yang Ling fell silent for a moment.

Just when Nan Xuan Fei felt a sense of relief, she suddenly received a sharp slap to the face.

“You worthless woman! What good are you to me?!”

Yang Ling glared coldly at Nan Xuan Fei, and the surrounding members of the Nan family gasped in shock.
