Chapter 239: Nan Xuan Was Drunk In the End
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Qiao originally wanted to ignore Nan Xuan. After all, she felt that the two of them had nothing to say to each other.
However, Nan Xuan called again and again, as if he had no intention of giving up. The sound of her cell phone vibrating also made her feel frustrated.
“Qiaoqiao?” Even Yang Xin couldn’t help but ask her. “Who is it? Don’t you want to answer the phone?”
The vibration was so loud that she could hear it clearly even when she was lying on the bed. Yang Xin counted about five or six times before she finally popped her head out to ask.
She sighed. “I’m sorry to disturb you. I’ll answer it.”
Helpless, Murong Qiao could only stop writing and took her phone to the small balcony at the end of the dormitory.
“What?” She picked up the call, her tone impatient.
When the call went through, Murong Qiao frowned and subconsciously felt a little frustrated. However, after saying that, she waited for a while but didn’t hear the other party speak. The only thing she could hear was heavy breathing.
Murong Qiao pursed her lips. “1 don’t have time to waste with you. I’m hanging up.”
Her words were like a switch in Nan Xuan’s ears, opening his mouth.
“You’re in a hurry?… Do you have a guilty conscience?” he said.
Nan Xuan had been rejected so frequently in the past two days that he had been holding back his anger. Now that he had drunk countless glasses of wine, he did not even beat around the bush.
Nan Xuan was still drunk, so his words were intermittent. Even through the phone, Murong Qiao could feel the strong smell of alcohol.
Murong Qiao didn’t understand what he meant and didn’t intend to ask. There was no need for her to reason with a drunkard.
However, Nan Xuan did not intend to give up. “As expected, Nan Zhi did not lie to me.”
At the mention of this name that both of them were familiar with, memories surged. It was as if an invisible hand had opened a corner of the thick memory.
“You really don’t have any heart, Nan Qiao.” Nan Xuan instinctively called her old name. “The Nan family gave birth to you and raised you for so many years, but you became an ingrate who drank blood from your own kind.”
Nan Xuan seemed to have vented all his anger on Murong Qiao. For a moment, he no longer had any scruples when he spoke. He was straightforward and hurtful.
Like a sharpened blade, the cold and sharp edge cut open the red inside of her skin and flesh.
“Are you crazy?” Murong Qiao scolded.
After calling so many times, she thought that Nan Xuan had something important to tell her.
The smile on her face had completely turned cold. The corners of her eyes that were originally curved became flat, and her eyes flickered with the cold light of the night.
However, Nan Xuan, who was scolded, felt that he had guessed Murong Qiao’s thoughts and continued to spout nonsense.
“As expected, I should have thrown you out from the beginning and let you fend for yourself. Otherwise, our family wouldn’t have become like this.” Nan Xuan’s voice became softer.
It was all because of Nan Qiao.
Nan Xuan subconsciously blamed all the mistakes on Murong Qiao, including Nan Zhi’s mistakes and the Nan family’s current predicament.
Even at this moment, Nan Xuan’s heart was still subconsciously biased towards Nan Zhi, as if he had forgotten that Murong Qiao was once his sister.
Murong Qiao’s temples throbbed. She felt that talking to a drunkard was challenging her mental endurance. Moreover, this was a drunkard who was prejudiced against her.
She took a deep breath. “If you’re sick in the head, go to the hospital and empty your mind there.”
Murong Qiao had originally lowered her voice to speak. After all, she didn’t want to disturb her roommates.
However, after listening to Nan Xuan’s nonsense, the anger in her heart intensified, and her tone rose.
The small balcony was not far from the dormitory. Even if there was a layer of door soundproof panels, as long as the voice was raised slightly, it still could be heard.
Yang Xin and Leng Yan were already on the bed. They were playing with their phones and did not speak, so they could hear Murong Qiao’s voice especially clearly.
The two of them looked at each other at the same time and opened their cell phones.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Qiaoqiao so angry.” Yang Xin was a little worried.
Leng Yan was typing. “Is she being harassed? It doesn’t sound like it.”
The two of them tacitly pulled the curtains on the bed. Neither of them made a sound as their fingers typed rapidly on the phone screen.
“It sounds like they know each other. It feels like something big has happened.” Yang Xin was multitasking.
Her attention was divided into two. Her ears were perked up as she listened to the commotion on the small balcony. Her mind was on the interface between WeChat and Leng Yan.
Although they couldn’t know the details of their conversation, from Murong Qiao’s occasional raised voice, both Yang Xin and Leng Yan felt that something was wrong.
Leng Yan was also worried about Murong Qiao. “It sounds like a private matter. It’s better not to ask.”
Her bed was a little closer to the small balcony. She sensed something from the words she vaguely caught, but she also put away her curiosity.
She should not gossip about her roommate.
The call outside was still going on.
“I know you think the Nan family treats you badly.” Nan Xuan’s tone was heartbroken, as if Murong Qiao had done something heinous. “But you shouldn’t have attacked the company!”
“After all, it’s my father’s life’s work… Nan Qiao, you really feel unfamiliar.” As he spoke, he took another sip of wine.
His usually bright thoughts were now paralyzed by alcohol, and he almost couldn’t think before he spoke.
From the beginning, Nan Xuan was still venting his anger calmly, but he spoke faster and faster.
Murong Qiao calmed herself down. “I indeed want Nan Kang’s company to collapse.”
She had no intention of hiding her thoughts of revenge. Moreover, Nan Xuan was drunk now, Murong Qiao all the more wanted to make things clear.
“I want to destroy the most important thing to him and let him have a taste of pain.” She sneered. “Besides, with his ability, it’s only a matter of time before the company bellies up.”
Murong Qiao’s intention to take revenge on the Nan family was obvious at this moment. She had directly told Nan Xuan about it.
“Everything that happened now is the result of the Nan family bringing it upon themselves. Blaming me will only make you seem more incompetent.”
These words were like a stone, shattering the only layer of glass in Nan Xuan’s heart, causing the taut string to completely break and there was no possibility of repair.
“Nan Qiao, you’re indeed a b*tch.” Nan Xuan was so angry that he couldn’t choose his words. His words were also dirty. “It was a mistake to let you be born from the beginning!”
“If I had known you would be like this, I would have let Nan Zhi kill you… You’re worse than a dog, you ungrateful thing…”
Nan Xuan seemed to have been angered. He cussed at her one derogatory term after another. Murong Qiao was strangely patient. She only moved her phone away slightly and even had the mood to remember what she had scolded. In any case, she would have to return it to him in the future.
After Nan Xuan cursed, Murong Qiao hung up.
Murong Qiao returned to the dormitory. After the phone call, she was no longer in the mood to write her novel. She turned off the computer and went to bed.
Yang Xin and Leng Yan seemed to be asleep, and there was no sound coming from their beds at all. However, Murong Qiao was not in the mood to care about this now. She only hoped that she could sleep early tonight and forget about this unlucky matter.
“Psssst, Qiaoqiao’s expression is so scary.” Yang Xin typed quickly.
When she heard the sound of Murong Qiao returning just now, Yang Xin secretly looked at her through the gap in the bed curtain. The expressionless Murong Qiao made Yang Xin instantly fall silent. She didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. She held her cell phone and carefully hid under the blanket before sending a message to Leng Yan..
