Castle

Sheng Lingshan was dissatisfied with Zhou Ruzuo's words. "Little foreign devil" wasn't something a relative would say. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Sheng Nuan say seriously, "I am not a little foreign devil. I speak Chinese and have Chinese nationality. We can't lend you jewelry, not because we don't want to, but because we don't have anything to let you borrow. You can't just bully me and my mother."

At this time, the neighbors outside couldn't stand listening anymore and started to accuse Zhou Ru.

"To support the elderly, it's normal for the rich to contribute money and others to help. You can't blackmail people like a bottomless pit just because they don't have any money. How can they owe you 600,000 yuan if they already gave you the money?"

"Yeah, she's well dressed. It's so obvious that she came to borrow something after she didn't return it last time."

"That's right, who would call their relative a 'little foreign devil'? This woman isn't a good thing."

The neighbors were all talking and pointing. Zhou Ru's face turned pale and blue, and she couldn't stay any longer. Before leaving, she snorted, "I'll return your cheap necklace tomorrow."

After saying that, she turned around and stomped downstairs in her high heels.

Sheng Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door, and turned to face Sheng Nuan, who had a sly smile on her face.

In the evening, after washing up, Sheng Nuan and Sheng Lingshan leaned on the bed and talked.

Sheng Lingshan knew that her daughter returned to China alone this time because she had a quarrel with her father. She had wanted to talk to her daughter several times before, but her daughter had no intention of communicating with her.

It was only today that she felt that her daughter was not so resistant to communicating with her, and she finally found the opportunity.

Sheng Lingshan's tone was gentle and helpless: "Nuan Nuan, it's hard to explain to you what happened between me and your father, but no matter what, you have to believe that Leslie loves you, and he loves you no less than me. You should be more honest with him."

Sheng Nuan said nothing because the original plot given by the system contained very little content related to the original owner's father. Sheng Nuan was not sure what kind of person the rich man from Country Y was. He only knew that the only description he had of him was that of a strong and tough-minded man.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Sheng Lingshan sighed and took out her phone: "Nuan Nuan, I think you should give Leslie a call. He contacted me yesterday. He was very worried about you, but he was afraid that you wouldn't want to call him."

Before Sheng Nuan could refuse, Sheng Lingshan's phone rang, and the other party picked up soon.

"Hello, Shan..."

The low and magnetic voice made it easy to imagine what kind of gentleman and noble man the man on the other side of the phone should be.

"Leslie, Nuan Nuan wants to talk to you."

The next moment, the phone was thrust into Sheng Nuan's hand.

Sheng Nuan would definitely go berserk within three words of speaking to her father. At this moment, when she heard the deep and gentle voice opposite her, she didn't know what to say. Instead, the man opposite spoke first.

Leslie Norman spoke softly: "Nuan Nuan, my little princess, are you still angry with me?"

Sheng Nuan finally whispered, "Daddy."

Leslie breathed out slowly: "I thought my little princess would never want to care about me."

His doting could be heard through the phone. Sheng Nuan had rarely experienced this kind of experience of being cared about and loved wholeheartedly, and it was inevitable that she was a little uncomfortable.

She didn't speak.

Leslie on the other side of the phone thought she was crying, and her tone was softer: "Don't cry, my little princess; everything is my fault. Daddy will buy the old castle you like as a token of appreciation. Your apology gift, okay?"

Sheng Nuan was stunned and blinked a little stiffly.

Gift? Castle? This... this, this, this...

Sheng Nuan's family used to be considered a wealthy family, but for the first time she faced this kind of arrogance that often gave away gifts to the castle, she was still a little shocked.

Until Sheng Lingshan went out after making the call and Sheng Nuan was lying on the bed alone, she still couldn't recover.

The moment he opened his eyes, he sat up almost immediately, his eyes dark and wary. But then he realized that he was in the hospital.

The nurse happened to come in, and when she saw him sitting up suddenly, she immediately yelled anxiously, "What are you doing? Why are you moving around?"

Ye Nanxuan came back to his senses, and his expression instantly became docile.

"Hello, may I ask... who sent me to the hospital?" Ye Nanxuan asked the nurse.

The nurse was originally very dissatisfied with a patient like him who moved around casually, but after taking a look at the boy's pale face and beautiful facial features, she finally suppressed her anger and replied, "A little girl is about the same age as you.

As she looked, the nurse couldn't help nagging: "You are injured all over at a young age. You should clean yourself when you go out and don't touch those messy things. You are still young and can easily hurt your body."

A coldness flashed in Ye Nanxan's eyes. Then he whispered his thanks.

After the nurse finished checking the room and left, Ye Nanxuan leaned on the hospital bed, took out his phone with the hand that was not inserted into the needle, and clicked on the group. When he found Sheng Mian, he paused.

At this time, the memories before he lost consciousness had slowly returned.

He remembered the person who helped him out of the alley in his hazy state, and... the biting in the car when he almost lost control.

Thinking of the word "Sheng" on the school sign in his blurred vision and the vague voice in his ear, Ye Nanxuan pressed his eyebrows irritably.

Is it Sheng Mian?

She wanted to help him from the beginning, but even though she was scared away by those people, did she come back later?

Ye Nanxuan didn't want to get involved with irrelevant people, but the other party saved her and sent him to the hospital. He also offended her in the car, but she also fought back.

The swelling on his face had not yet subsided, so Ye Nanxuan sent a friend request with an expressionless face, and the other party accepted the request immediately.

Ye Nanxuan: Thank you for what happened today.

Sheng Mian quickly replied, You're welcome; are you okay?

Ye Nanxuan: It's okay. I'll transfer the medical expenses to you.

There was no reply from the other party, so Ye Nanxuan called the nurse to ask about the cost and then transferred the money.

Without looking at his phone, he set the alarm clock and stuffed the phone back under his pillow. Soon, he fell asleep again.

On the other side, Sheng Mian, who was talking to her mother Zhou Ru, was stunned when she saw the message from Ye Nanxan, doubts flashed in her eyes, but then she realized something.

Someone saved Ye Nanxuan and paid the medical expenses in advance. Did Ye Nanxuan think it was her?

She wasn't sure if her guess was right, so after thinking about it, she simply didn't reply to Ye Nanxan. She didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it, and she didn't confiscate more than a thousand yuan.

"Who?" Zhou Ru asked.

Sheng Mian put away the phone: "A friend asked me something."

Zhou Ru sighed and then said angrily, "Tomorrow you take the necklace to that yellow-haired girl. That mother and daughter are just glamorous on the outside, and they really don't have much money. ."

Sheng Mian's eyes flashed: "Mom, did you go to see Aunt today?"

Zhou Ru hummed and told her daughter about the meeting with Sheng Lingshan and her daughter today. Sheng Mian curled her lips.

Looking at Sheng Nuan's usual demeanor, she really thought that her aunt had married a rich man abroad, but it turned out that she was pretending to be rich.

Thinking of this, Sheng Mian took out a jewelry box from her schoolbag and opened it. Inside was a shiny gemstone necklace that looked almost exactly the same as the one Zhou Ru borrowed from Sheng Lingshan.

It's just that this is a high imitation.

Sheng Mian smiled and handed the high-quality imitation piece to her mother.

Zhou Ru was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she clapped her hands: "Yes, give this back to her. I worked so hard to take care of her parents for her, but in the end, even if I care about a broken necklace, I won't give it back to her. She owes me this."
