In the small building of the painting boat, just now it was a joy of singing and dancing, but now it has become a cautious and silent tension.

Nan Qingxiao led Nan Mingxuan to sit in the main seat unceremoniously, and Tianji stood behind Nan Qingxiao with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Li Yulian, who was sitting on Nan Qingxiao's left hand, ordered her maid to serve tea to Nan Qingxiao and Nan Ming, and she was fidgeting all the time. Li Yulian wanted to break the palpitating tranquility, but looking at Nan Qingxiao's slightly cold face, Li Yulian I opened my mouth several times but couldn't say anything.She had absolutely no idea what to say.

No matter how well she got along among a group of young ladies and young masters, Li Yulian was still just a young lady who had never seen the world. Under Nan Qingxiao's oppressive aura, she had already panicked.

Nan Mingxuan, who was sitting next to Nan Qingxiao, was also a little uncertain.Don't you want to be held accountable?Why is brother sitting there drinking tea leisurely?

Taking a glance, Nan Qingxiao didn't respond, and taking another look, Nan Qingxiao still didn't respond.Nan Mingxuan thought for a while, adhering to the theory that no matter what his brother did, Nan Mingxuan also calmed down, imitating Nan Qingxiao's appearance, and secretly looked at the expressions of the ladies and young masters until he saw Miss Wang After getting paler and paler, Nan Mingxuan finally understood what Nan Qingxiao wanted to do.Brother, this is to give people psychological pressure!

"My lord, if you have anything to ask, why don't you just ask?" Finally, some people couldn't sit still. Although they didn't do anything wrong, they always sat like this and suddenly had the illusion that they had done something bad. , this kind of psychological process is not very beautiful.

"That's right, the matter of Miss Mingyue falling into the water has nothing to do with us." The first person spoke, and naturally there were the second and third, and the room immediately became lively.

"Oh? It has nothing to do with you?" Nan Qingxiao finally put down his teacup and glanced at the crowd. With a slightly cool voice, the room fell silent again in an instant. "Then tell me, who has this matter to do with? I have always I am distressed, there are so many of you, who should I ask?"

distressed?Tianji twitched the corners of her mouth.Mr. Qingxiao, the four of them saw with eight eyes who pushed Nan Mingyue into the water, what are you worrying about here?You really just want to watch these people change faces for your own entertainment, right?

But... Tianji rolled her eyes, looked at Wang Yao, Miss Wang's pale face and forehead covered in cold sweat, curled her lips in disdain.It's really stupid that there are people who murder for money because of jealousy.

The Wang family is a wealthy family in Gaoyi City who rely on restaurants. In a small place like Gaoyi City, only the wealthy people in the city will go to the Wang Family Restaurant. In other words, the Wang family cannot live alone. The reason, and such a royal family must have no status in the middle and upper classes of Gaoyi City.

Fortunately, the Wang family has only one daughter, Wang Yao. Although Master Wang has brought many concubines into the mansion over the years, there is still only one daughter, Wang Yao. You can only recruit a son-in-law. In other words, if someone's son marries Wang Yao, it is equivalent to marrying the entire Wang family, so on the surface, the Wang family is still very beautiful.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Who would let it go?

As the only daughter of the Wang family, the spoiled Wang Yao didn't understand her father's troubles at all, so she fell in love with Lin Xiao, the eldest son of the Lin family.Although Lin Xiao is not the eldest son of the Lin family, he is the only son of the eldest son, and he is very favored. The Lin family's family business must be handed over to Lin Xiao. Naturally, it is impossible for such a Lin Xiao to enter the Wang family. If Wang Yao wants to marry , can only bring the whole Wang family to marry, and hand over everything in the Wang family.

These are some of the things Tianji found out during her stay in Gaoyi City these days.Just now, they saw Wang Yao push Nan Mingyue into the water with their own eyes. Apart from jealousy, Tianji couldn't think of any other reason, and Tianji believed that what Wang Yao did was instructed by Li Yulian.

"Ask who?" The young masters and ladies looked at each other, "If you ask Lin Xiao, you will know. Wasn't Lin Xiao present when Miss Mingyue fell into the water? Oh, yes, Wang Yao was also present! Hey, Lin Xiao, Wang Yao , you two are talking, how did Nan Mingyue fall into the water?"

Lin Xiao sighed secretly, glanced at Wang Yao, bowed his head, and did not speak.

"Mr. Lin doesn't seem to want to talk, so Miss Wang, can you tell me why Mingyue fell into the water?" Nan Qingxiao intentionally put pressure on these people. People can't hear the flat tone of calming anger, and the voice is neither happy nor angry, but it makes people feel uneasy for no reason.

"I, I don't know! It wasn't me...I didn't push her down!" Wang Yao defended herself in a panic.

"It turns out that Mingyue didn't fall into the water by mistake, but was pushed down." Nan Qingxiao sneered.

"Okay you guys...how did my sister offend you? How can you be so cruel?" Nanming Xuanteng stood up, pointing at Wang Yao's nose and cursing.

"I, I didn't! It's not me, it's really not me!" Nan Mingxuan scolded, and Wang Yao was frightened and cried immediately.

She was just very angry at that time, Lin Xiao had never been so warm to her before, but today he was chatting and laughing with that Nan Mingyue, and she even saw him blushing!She was just angry, she didn't intend to murder Nan Mingyue's life!

"Oh?" Nan Qingxiao raised her eyebrows, and shifted her gaze to Lin Xiao, "Since Miss Wang said that you didn't push Yue into the water, but someone did push Nan Mingyue, and only Mr. Lin and Miss Wang were by Mingyue's side at that time. So, Mr. Lin, you pushed Mingyue into the water?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiao looked up at Nan Qingxiao.

"It's not what the eldest son thinks." What else could he say?Do you want him to identify Wang Yao in front of so many people?Everyone is mixed together on weekdays, and now Nan Mingyue is fine, Lin Xiao thinks there is no need to do such an honest thing at this time.

Pretending to be a hero?Nan Qingxiao raised her eyebrows, just opened her mouth when she heard Li Yulian speak.

"Eldest son, Yulian interjected, don't be angry. Mr. Lin is right. Although the eldest son saw someone push Mingyue into the water, we are all friends with Mingyue. No one will push Mingyue into the water for no reason. Yulian thought that Mingyue was standing too close to the railing of the boat and accidentally fell into the water while playing around."

"Accidentally fell into the water?" This sentence undoubtedly poured oil on Nan Mingxuan's anger, which raised Nan Mingxuan's anger to another level, "I saw my sister being pushed into the water with my own eyes, and you accidentally fell into the water Just want to get rid of me? After staying in Gaoyi City for so many years, I didn't know that our Nan family is so easy to get rid of!"

Not to mention the men and women on the boat, even Nan Qingxiao and Tianji were frightened by the sudden eruption of Nan Mingxuan.It turns out that Nan Mingxuan is not lacking in momentum, it's just that no one has ever touched his nilin!

"Master Mingxuan, I didn't mean that, I..."

"It doesn't mean that, what do you mean? Over the years, my Nan family has never participated in those things among you, so you think the Nan family is easy to bully, don't you? Let me tell you, our Nan family's face is placed there, isn't it? Called for you!"

Nan Mingxuan's roar made everyone shrink back in fright, and the obedient ones didn't dare to speak out. Even Wang Yao, who was crying, choked back his crying.

"I'll ask again for the last time, who pushed Mingyue into the water? You can think carefully before answering. Your families are all respectable families in Gaoyi City. My Nan family really can't touch you, but if you bully people too much, I don't mind bullying others once. I really want to know how strong the Luo family is, are you curious?" Nan Qingxiao's last sentence was asked with a smile, but everyone shuddered.

Although they don't know how strong the Luo family is, they know that one of the reasons why the pirate merchants are called pirate merchants is their thunderous methods. Perhaps the Li family, which can rely on the royal family, is not afraid, but they are.They are all just the local emperors in Gaoyi City. They are not strong and their backgrounds are not strong, so they dare not.

"My lord, it's better not to say you're dead. We are all in Gaoyi City. Without us, the Nan family may not be in a better life." Lin Xiao frowned, disapproving of Nan Qingxiao threatening everyone so forcefully.Most of the merchants in Gaoyi City are complementary and interdependent. If they offend everyone, it will not benefit the Nan family.Besides, for Lin Xiao, the Lin family and the Nan family were still a little bit estranged, and if something happened, he would never think of standing firmly on the Nan family's side.

"Without you, what can this Gaoyi City do?" Nan Qingxiao tilted his head, looked at Lin Xiao and sneered, "Mr. Lin thinks that the people in Gaoyi City can't live without restaurants, or because they lack money houses. Can't you survive? Or maybe Mr. Lin thinks that apart from your family, no one can open restaurants and money houses in Gaoyi City?"

"But I know that the Nan family can't do it, and the Luo family can't do a loss-making business in Gaoyi." Lin Xiao looked straight at Nan Qingxiao.

"Does the Nan family need to do these things in person? There are so many businessmen in Suining country, are you afraid that there will be no one to replace you? Besides, the Luo family may not lose money if they do it. Aren't you all doing well?"

"But Gaoyi City will be turbulent." Turbulence is inevitable when the old and the new change.

"That's something the imperial court should worry about." Nan Qingxiao shrugged and smiled nonchalantly.

"Could it be that the eldest son has the heart to put the people of Gaoyi City in the water and fire?" If the business world of Gaoyi City is in chaos, Lin Xiao can fully imagine what chaos will be like in Gaoyi City, which is now in order.

"Don't you always care about the people of Li people?" Nan Qingxiao asked back, "We are businessmen, not officials, not knights. We are just businessmen, and what we care about is profit, isn't it?"

"My lord's words are wrong. Although we are businessmen, we are not profiteers, let alone pirates. How can we only care about ourselves and ignore the people?" Some people who thought they were very righteous were not convinced.

"Stealer?" For some reason, Nan Qingxiao was very annoyed every time he heard the word "stealer", "What's wrong with the "stealer"? It's the "stealer" you mentioned who prepared reasonable wages for the workers, but what about you? You keep saying that you care about the people, so where is your concern? You know better than me what this gathering is for today!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"I, Nan Qingxiao, put my words here today. My Nan family doesn't care how you plan to arrange Gaoyi City. Similarly, it's not up to you to take care of my Nan family's affairs!" I was so angry that I spoke again, "As for the Wang family, just as Mingxuan said, my Nan family's face is not there to slap people, and my Nan family's young lady is not someone who can push anyone if she wants! I don't force Ms. Wang to do anything, lest you think that I will bully people when I go to Jingcheng after going to the Nan family, but for today's matter, I advise Ms. Wang to go back and talk to her family about what to do. I am decisive. However, I have a bad temper and limited patience, the Wang family must never make a decision that I regret! Hmph!"

The last cold snort made everyone's hearts tremble again, and then they watched Nan Qingxiao and the others leave before heaving a sigh of relief.

"My God, I've known Nan Mingxuan for so long, this is the first time I know he has a temper!"

A sentence that someone said unintentionally not only expressed the aspirations of everyone, but also caused them to think more deeply.

Maybe the Nan family has never been easy to bully.
