"You won't make your uncle unhappy, will you?"
The reason why their family was able to stand out from the many Nan family members was all because Nan Tianyi valued them and designated them as the future successors.
In essence, they are still not considered to be the direct descendants of the Nan family, but they are luckier than the ordinary side branches.
He had explained this to his son countless times.
It’s just that Nan Ling is too young, and young people are full of energy. Plus, Nan Ling is calmer than his peers, so he’s always a little better.
He could see that Nan Ling was very rebellious against the old ways of these families.
Apart from giving him more instructions from time to time, Nan's father has not found a good opportunity to have a deeper talk with him.
"Come and sit down."
Nan's father called him over and asked the servant to bring two cups of coffee.
When the servant brought the coffee and placed it on the tea table in front of them, Father Nan looked at the white smoke rising up and cast his eyes on Nan Ling. He said, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you not to upset your cousin?!"
“I didn’t…” Nan Ling was scolded so hard that he couldn’t even raise his head. He felt more unconvinced and impatient.
Father Nan's face was serious and his eyes were sharp: "Then why did you come back at this time?"
He knew the personalities of Nan Tianyi and Xie Tingyun, and they would definitely not refuse to invite Nan Ling to dinner.
Nan Ling had no choice but to briefly tell what happened in the evening, but he didn't go into too much detail. He only vaguely said that Nan Tianyi might have asked him to leave first because of Ji Nan.
After listening to this for a long time, Father Nan was silent. Then he picked up the coffee and said to him meaningfully, "Nan Ling, you are different from Master Ji."
Nan Ling obviously couldn't sit still after hearing this. He looked at him quickly, then suppressed the urge to stand up. He forced himself to sit on the sofa and lowered his head.
He seemed to agree with his father's words.
But his straight back and the bulging veins on his forehead were protesting silently, expressing his inner dissatisfaction. How could Nan Tianyi choose Nan's father from among all the Nan family members? He could see through his inner thoughts at a glance, but because his son was older, he couldn't teach him some things as if he were educating a minor.
So Father Nan could only soften his tone and said, "I will go find your cousin tomorrow. Remember to apologize to Young Master Ji next time you see him."
“…” Nan Ling’s neck stiffened when he heard the word “apology”.
"Anyway, you are all friends in the same circle. Young Master Ji is the only heir of the Ji family. I think Emperor Ji wants to hand over the family to him in the future. I don't need to analyze the relationship here, right?"
After hearing this, Nan Ling could no longer say no, and said in a hoarse and reluctant voice: "I know."
Father Nan nodded with satisfaction: "That's good to know."
Then he saw Nan Ling's embarrassed expression, pointed to the coffee on the coffee table and said, "Okay, drink some hot coffee to warm yourself up, and the little thing you mentioned can be solved."
Nan Ling reluctantly picked up the cup, blew away the hot steam, took a sip of coffee, and still couldn't taste the flavor of the coffee beans.
Then I heard a series of footsteps at the stairs.
Then came the surprised voice of his mother: "Son, you are back."
Nan Ling had no choice but to put down the cup, his temples bulging. Before his mother pounced on him, he found a topic to divert her attention.
"I heard that there are guests coming to your house?"
Sure enough, Nan's mother looked towards the guest room on the second floor. The servants were still coming in and out cleaning. She was in a good mood and turned around to talk to Nan Ling.
"It's your cousin."
"cousin?"
It seemed like Nan Ling didn’t remember it for a moment.
