Chapter 1871 - Bullying The Shi Family

Shi Yalin shook her head furiously.

“N-no… I don’t know anything… I don’t know anything…”

“You don’t know? What don’t you know?”

“No… I don’t know anything…”

“Then… does your family know?”

“No… I don’t know.”

“Is that so? Then why do I feel like they know something?”

“No… no… They don’t know… They don’t know…”

Wen Wan despised her weak body.

Before this, if Nangong Nuannuan dared to come so close to her, she might have already made a move.

However, her body now had no chance of outdoing Nangong Nuannuan. She was afraid that if she upset Nangong Nuannuan, she would kill her.

“I… I beg you… Sob sob sob sob…”

“Then… can you promise that you will forget everything that happened?”

“I-I promise… I promise!”

Shi Yalin’s head felt heavy. All she wanted was to get away from Nangong Nuannuan.

She really could not stand being so close to her.

“Chairman Nangong, what are you doing?”

Suddenly, a group of people appeared at the entrance of Deputy Hall.

Shi Yalin’s father, Shi Maude; her mother, Pei Jiyun; her eldest brother, Shi Zhongyu; and her second brother, Shi Zhongxiao, all glared at Nangong Nuannuan warily. No one dared come forward to help Shi Yalin, though.

Shi Yalin was now sitting on the ground pitifully, her makeup smeared from her tears.

Meanwhile, Nangong Nuannuan had placed her strong hands on the steps around her, not giving Shi Yalin any room to breathe.

If they were a man and a woman, they would be assumed to be a couple.

The two women were so intimately arranged. However, one of them had her hand planted on the steps while the other was sitting on the ground crying. It was obvious that Lady Shi was being bullied!

Nangong Nuannuan stood up and smiled at Shi Maude. “Chairman Shi, we meet again.”

Shi Maude gave her an ugly smile. It was obvious to everyone that he was angry, but he still remained courteous.

“Haha, that’s right. Chairman Nangong, we do meet again.”

“Miss Nangong, what did you do to my sister just now?”

Shi Zhongyu could not help but ask the question, even though he was aware that the lady before him was a murderous she-devil.

“Lil Yu!” Shi Maude shouted, “Chairman Nangong is so noble. How could she have argued with Yalin? Yalin must have just fallen, and Miss Nangong is just about to help her up.”

After all, even though the Shi family was sure that Nangong Nuannuan was KE’s Queen, they had no evidence. Confronting her without evidence would just be alerting the enemy, and he did not dare to gamble with the lives of the hundreds of people in the Shi family.

“Yes, Miss Shi fell just now, and I was just about to help her up—but she said there was no need for me to.”

Nangong Nuannuan played along with what Shi Maude said and added her own explanation, but it was clearly disingenuous.

Shi Maude suppressed the anger and fear in his heart and said, “Yalin, how could you be so clumsy? Quick, go with your mother to reapply your makeup. You’re the star of today’s banquet!”

Pei Jiyun hurriedly walked forward to help Shi Yalin up, maintaining a certain distance from Nangong Nuannuan.

“Chairman Nangong, just now, my father heard from Grand Marshal Chi that you were at the Shi family residence. He wanted to speak with you. Would it be okay for us to move to the front hall?”
