My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots
chapter-1358

Duke Eton adopted both Nuannuan and Selina. It was already difficult enough for them to be recognized by the royal family, what more having their names included in the genealogy book. Something like that was nearly impossible to achieve.

Therefore, Selina's explanation became the only logical explanation.

Initially, Shi Yalin had come over to the Chi family to humiliate Nangong Nuannuan knowing that she was there. Yet, who would have known that Shi Yalin would lose to her in terms of grades? In terms of assets, she was even more inferior.

This was a huge, burning slap in the face.

If they continued to sit here, they would only be embarrassing themselves. Shi Gen stood up and said to Old Master Chi, "Elder Chi, it seems like we're not welcomed here. We'll take our leave first."

"Are you sure we're the ones not welcoming you? Obviously, you two are the ones who started slandering our Nuannuan the moment you passed through the door, aren't you? A thief is now accusing someone else a thief. Old Man Shi, your reputation still hasn't changed one bit in the past decade!"

The Nangong family and the Shi family were not on good terms in the first place. When they came face to face in politics, they would fight each other to death. This was the Chi residence, and there were no outsiders here. Since there was not any good relationship to maintain between the two families already, escalating the matter into a fallout did not matter as much anymore.

How dare the Shi family bully their Nuannuan like this. Did they really think that the Nangong family was dead?

Shi Gen was so triggered by Nangong Renyi's words that his chest was stuffed with anger. However, this was Old Man Nangong's home ground, and Shi Gen could not win in either argument or a fight. Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and say to Old Master Chi, "Elder Chi, we'll come and visit you another day."

Shi Yalin immediately replied obediently, "Grandpa Chi, I'll visit you another day."

Old Master Chi chuckled. "You can come and visit me, but our Chi Yang already has a fiancée. Nuannuan is the future granddaughter-in-law of our Chi family. If you come again, I hope that the two of you will have basic manners and conduct for our Chi family. Otherwise, I'm afraid that even this old man here won't welcome you anymore. Hehehe…"

From beginning to end, Old Master Chi had been smiling. He was completely different from Old Master Nangong, who gave the Shi family nothing but glares.

However, the words that came out of his mouth sounded so protective and so humiliating.

Shi Yalin looked at Chi Yang pitifully, but she was met with Chi Yang's bone-chilling gaze as he stared at her grandfather. Shi Yalin could not help but shiver.

He then glanced at Nangong Nuannuan, who was standing beside Chi Yang.

This woman was the instigator. She barely said anything, but everyone in the room was praising her.

So what if she had Tianheng Holdings?

That was not enough for the Shi family to take her seriously!

Shi Yalin stood up and left with Shi Gen. Before they left, the Chi family still politely asked the old butler to send them out personally.

Just as they reached the door, Shi Yalin heard the laughter of children coming from outside the door. Shi Yalin was about to walk out the door when she saw her grandfather quickly retreat and stagger backward. Shi Yalin reached out to support the old master and was about to ask him how he was doing when a white lion that stretched as tall as her chest suddenly appeared before them. Shi Yalin was most afraid of these things, and she could not help but scream. Her hands subconsciously tugged at her grandfather and she fell backward.

After getting tugged backward so violently, Old Master Shi fell to her back too.

The grandfather and granddaughter collapsed backward together.

Thankfully, Old Master Shi fell directly onto Shi Yalin's body. Otherwise, he might have suffered a fracture.
