"Alright, alright, I'll speak properly. You go have dinner with Uncle and Auntie, and I'll take Cha Chao and Mu Mu to play in the backyard," Nan Xiao said, glancing at the situation in the study. "Are things all packed?"
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips. "Almost."
"Then have the workers carry them out, replace them with the new ones, and send them on their way."
"I know, don't worry about it. I can handle it myself," Lan Yuxi frowned irritably and muttered, "So annoying, always treating me like a child."
Nan Xiao didn't get angry. He extended his hand to Cha Chao. "Want to go?"
Cha Chao hesitated, then placed his small hand in Nan Xiao's large palm.
As the three of them walked out, they saw a Rolls-Royce Wraith driving in through the main gate.
Mu Mu, in Nan Xiao's arms, joyfully kicked her two little legs. "Brother, Godmother is back!"
"Mm," Cha Chao responded deeply, gripping Nan Xiao's hand with some worry.
Dad had just been dealt with by Grandpa's family, and now Godmother's family was back…
Nan Xiao noticed his unusual behavior and looked down at him. "What's wrong?"
"Godmother… In short, you need to be mentally prepared."
As soon as Cha Chao finished speaking, Luo Wanqi pushed open the car door and rushed over with a stern face. "Mu Mu, come here, Godmother will hold you."
Mu Mu hugged Nan Xiao's neck tightly. "Godmother, you're fierce, Mu Mu is scared!"
Luo Wanqi glared at Nan Xiao and demanded sternly, "What kind of potion did you give Mu Mu? Give me the child quickly!"
"Miss Luo, let's talk properly. Don't scare the child," Nan Xiao said soothingly, stroking Mu Mu's little head. "Your family hasn't had breakfast yet, right? Uncle Lan and the others haven't either. Why don't you go in and have breakfast first? We can talk after you're done."
Nan Xiao said this while looking at Luo Jiaqi, who was getting out of the car.
When Luo Jiaqi looked over, his eyes held unconcealed anger, but his upbringing told him that no matter how much he disliked someone, he shouldn't just punch them.
He clenched his fingers and walked past Nan Xiao into the hall.
Even though Nan Xiao saw his hostility, he didn't take it to heart. After all, everyone who cared about Lan Yuxi hated him.
Nan Xiao nodded slightly at the Luo couple getting out of the car, then took the two children to the backyard.
Cha Chao looked up at him with a serious expression. "Your mother was not nice to my mother. Why are you still protecting her?"
Nan Xiao was slightly taken aback. "Did you hear everything in the study?"
"We not only heard but also saw it. Mom is angry."
Nan Xiao's dark eyes dimmed slightly, then he dotingly ruffled the little one's hair.
Cha Chao instinctively wanted to dodge, but thinking about his brainless father being somewhat pathetic, he endured it.
Nan Xiao was very pleased with his change and bent down to pick him up.
Although Dad's embrace wasn't as warm as Mom's, it gave the two children a great sense of security. The two little ones snuggled into his arms and looked at him intently.
Nan Xiao looked at Cha Chao. "Even if my mother has a thousand flaws, she is the one who gave me life. Let's use an analogy. If someone spoke ill of your mother in front of you, would you just let them?"
Cha Chao and Mu Mu shook their heads simultaneously.
"So, even though I know what I said would displease your mother, your grandparents, I had to state my position. However, if the two of them had a conflict, I would definitely stand on your mother's side."
"Because I know my mother and I know your mother. Your mother, although not afraid of trouble, never actively seeks it. Moreover, she is very magnanimous. Just last night, my mother even bullied her to our doorstep, but despite being angry, she still let her go."
Cha Chao knitted his little brows and said, "My mom isn't being magnanimous, she's afraid of making things difficult for you!"
Nan Xiao smiled looking at him. He knew exactly what Xi Bao was thinking.
"It seems you understand your mother better than I do."
Mu Mu said proudly, "Of course! We've known Mom since we were born!"
Nan Xiao chuckled and gently tapped her forehead. "Even if you've known your mother since you were born, that's less than four years. But I knew your mother when she was only five years old…"
Nan Xiao's voice abruptly stopped. According to the information Xiang Bei had found, Xi Bao had only adopted them when they were two years old.
He looked at Mu Mu suspiciously. "You and Cha Chao have known Mom since you were born?"
Mu Mu saw her brother winking at her and instantly understood. "Of course not. Brother and I have known Mom since we could remember."
Cha Chao let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he was there, otherwise, his foolish sister would have spilled everything.
Nan Xiao was skeptical but didn't press further, knowing that with Cha Chao around, he wouldn't get anything out of them.
In the living room, Luo Wanqi went straight to Lan Yuxi as soon as she entered.
Lan Yuxi looked at her combative demeanor and rubbed her forehead.
"Don't ask anything. Go eat first. I'll explain everything to you tonight."
"..." Luo Wanqi swallowed back her many words.
Lan Yuxi smiled at the gloomy-faced Luo Jiaqi, then linked arms with Mr. and Mrs. Luo, introducing them to each other.
As everyone harmoniously entered the dining room, Nan Xiao called his father.
It wasn't time for Tang Wan to meet his mother yet. If they clashed again, it would be even harder for him and Xi Bao to be together.
His mother couldn't meet Tang Wan for now, but his father could. This way, Tang Wan wouldn't feel like the Nan family was disrespecting her.
After receiving the call, Nan Zhenting, ignoring everything else, rushed back.
As soon as his car stopped, he saw Elder Hong getting out of another car.
The two old men exchanged glances, and both saw killing intent in each other's eyes. Elder Hong, without even a greeting, threw a punch.
Although Nan Zhenting had retired years ago, his skills remained. As Elder Hong's fist was about to hit him, he agilely dodged to the side and simultaneously punched towards Elder Hong's face.
Luo Shiyi had just pulled out the car key when he saw his master and Old Nan fighting. This angered him. Nan Xiao bullied his senior sister, and Nan Xiao's father was bullying his master. The Nan family was too much!
Luo Shiyi dropped the car key and was about to go help Elder Hong, but before he could get close, he was stopped by a large dark man who appeared out of nowhere.
Now it was even livelier. An older pair and a younger pair were fighting at the entrance of the Banshan Villa.
Seeing this, the bodyguards quickly called Lan Yuxi to report. Before he could finish explaining, several more cars drove up from not far away.
Soon, Lan Yuxi's junior disciples also arrived.
"Miss Xi... Miss Xi, it's bad! Old Nan and Elder Hong are fighting, and your junior disciples are also going to join the fray…"
Before Lan Yuxi could finish speaking, she dashed out like the wind.
