Extra Chapter 4: Brother’s Story

The siblings sat down on a bench in the hospital corridor.

Nan Zhe finished the food that Nan Ge had sent over and chatted with her briefly.

“Grandpa’s condition isn’t too good this time.”

“I heard.” Nan Ge nodded. Her expression did not change. She was not happy, and of course, she was not sad. She was just very calm.

Those who did not know better would definitely think that she was a cold-blooded person. Her grandfather was already in such a state, but she did not react at all.

“After Grandpa leaves, don’t think too much about the distribution of the inheritance. You’re his granddaughter. Just accept it. If you don’t, you’ll be a little fool. At that time, you’ll just be letting the others get the money for no reason. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Yes.” Nan Ge did not disagree with him.

When Nan Zhe said this, he had no idea how much money his grandfather had left for Nan Ge.

In his opinion, because he would inherit the company, his father and two uncles could not get more than him, let alone Nan Ge. There was nothing he could do about it.

However, Nan Ge and Nan Si should have the same amount of inheritance. The old man was not too biased.

Nan Zhe smiled and patted her head. “Go back. Don’t stay in the hospital anymore.”

A few days later, the old master of the Nan family passed away from illness.

Qi Yan had received the news from Yuan Chi and the others. Her father’s health had not been good these few days, so she had returned to the northeast at the last minute and was not in Huai City. Nan Zhe probably knew, so he did not tell her about the old man’s death.

By the time she arrived in Jiang City, the funeral had already ended.

For some reason, she still could not get through to Nan Zhe’s phone. She got the address of the Nan family’s old residence through Yuan Chi and searched all the way.

Just as she arrived and was hesitating if she should go in, she bumped into President Shen of Huasheng.

President Shen was Nan Zhe’s sister’s fiancé. Now, he could only wait outside. And she was only Nan Zhe’s girlfriend…

After some thought, she still chose to wait outside with President Shen.

Not long after, the Nan family’s tightly shut door opened. She looked over and saw Nan Ge at a glance.

She was being pulled by a man.

“It’s their little uncle,” Shen Yanqing explained.

“Ah, I heard from Nan Zhe.”

Qi Yan had some impression of him, but she had never seen his little uncle in person.

Their little uncle and Nan Ge did not seem to be in a good situation. Soon, Nan Zhe chased after them.

Just as she was hesitating if he should get out of the car now, Shen Yanqing had already opened the car door.

“Excuse me.”

She was stunned for a moment before quickly following him.

She did not know what had happened. When Nan Ge saw her, she only nodded and turned to get into the car. Shen Yanqing quickly followed her.

Nan Zhe was a little surprised to see her. He went forward, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to the side. After President Shen’s car left, he retracted his gaze and looked at her.

“Didn’t you go home?”

“I just came back. Are you… alright?” Qi Yan held his hand, only to find that his palm was cold.

She did not let go and held it tightly.

Nan Zhe forced a smile and shook his head at her.

“The house is a little messy now. This is my car key. Drive to my place and wait for me.”

Before she could ask, Nan Zhe gave her an address. “This is my house near the company. No one has been there. The password is your and my birthday. Go and rest first. I’ll go over later.”

Qi Yan wanted to wait for him here, but Nan Zhe pushed her shoulder and walked towards his car. “I’ll look for you after I settle my family matters.”

Hearing this, she recalled Nan Ge’s pale face when she left just now. She did not force him anymore. She did not want him to worry at this time. “Alright, I’ll send you a message when I get there. You can go back.”

She was not unfamiliar with Jiang City. It only took 15 minutes to drive from here to Nan Zhe’s residence.

That day, Nan Zhe returned very late.

Hearing some noise, she quickly got up and went up to him. “Have you eaten?”

Nan Zhe thought that she had already fallen asleep. He turned around and changed out of his shoes. “Have you eaten?”

He asked in return.

After spending so much time with him, how could Qi Yan not know what he was thinking?

She had eaten some bread that night and was not too hungry, but she still said,

“I’m waiting for you. I haven’t eaten yet. Have you eaten?”

As expected, Nan Zhe said that he had not eaten dinner yet.

“Rest for a while. I’ll cook.”

“You?” Nan Zhe was stunned on the spot.

“Is there a problem?” Qi Yan put his hands on her hips. “I’ve been making home-cooked food since I was in my teens. Don’t worry, I won’t poison you.”

Nan Zhe nodded, but he quickly remembered that the fridge was empty, so he turned around.

“Then I’ll go out to buy groceries.”

“No need. I went to buy it this afternoon.” Qi Yan pulled him back and pulled his arm to press him onto the sofa.

As expected of the Taekwondo champion. She was indeed strong. Nan Zhe did not even have the chance to resist.

“Sit here and wait for me.’

Before she left, Qi Yan even poured him a glass of warm water.

Halfway through cooking, the kitchen door was gently pushed open. She turned around and glanced at it. “Didn’t I tell you to wait in the living room?”

Nan Zhe was a young master who did not do any chores. He had definitely never been to the kitchen, let alone cook.

“I want to see you.” He did not go in. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned lazily against the door frame, looking like he wanted to supervise.

Qi Yan let him be.

A moment later, she finally heard Nan Zhe’s voice.

It was so soft that if she did not listen carefully, it would easily be covered by the sound of her cooking.

He said, “The old man and the old lady have always been biased. Ever since Nan

Ge was born, they haven’t liked her very much. It’s just that they favor boys

over girls… No, they favor boys over girls.”

Qi Yan paused for a moment. She pretended not to hear him and did not turn around. Nan Zhe continued, “I thought that the old man would not treat Nan Ge badly in terms of inheritance distribution at this time. I didn’t expect it to be like this again. She’s clearly the Nan family’s youngest granddaughter. Why can’t she compare to the three of us?”

“Ever since I was young, they have been very good to me, but they always liked to make things difficult for Nan Ge. Many times, they even made things difficult for Nan Ge because of me.”

Nan Zhe raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows, feeling very vexed.

Qi Yan turned off the fire and continued, “So Nan Ge left because of this?”

“Yes. I heard from Shen Yanqing that she’s not in a good mood. She hasn’t picked up anyone’s call the entire afternoon.”

Qi Yan thought for a moment and suggested, “Why don’t we go to Huai City after dinner? You can talk to Nan Ge in person. This kind of thing should be a huge blow to her. You’d better comfort her in person. Phone calls don’t make sense.”

Nan Zhe shook his head. “Don’t talk about me. She ignored Shen Yanqing when he spoke to her in the afternoon. I heard that she has been sleeping.”

“Then tomorrow? We’ll go over tomorrow morning.” Thinking about it, it was very late now, Qi Yan spoke.

Nan Zhe had the same intention.

After dinner, Nan Zhe could not fall asleep. He stood on the balcony and smoked one cigarette after another.

This time, Qi Yan did not stop him. Instead, she went forward and sat beside him, silently accompanying him..
