Chapter 336: Nangong Yupiao Was Fine
Nangong Yupiao’s tone was indescribable. It was a little light, a little expectant, and a little reserved.
She stopped their footsteps. Ye Lulu stood beside Guan Chibei. Guan Chibei looked at Nangong Yupiao and recognized her. His expression was calm as he said, “I remember. What’s the matter?”
Nangong Yupiao wanted to say something but hesitated. She said, “You remember me… I… I want to thank you. After all, you saved my life. Logically speaking, I should thank you…”
“No need for that,” Guan Chibei said briefly.
“What… what’s your name? I still don’t know your name.” Nangong Yupiao blurted out. She already knew Guan Chibei’s name, but she still pretended not to know. She widened her eyes and looked at Guan Chibei. “You saved my life. I can’t be unaware of your name.”
“No need.” Guan Chibei said, “It was nothing.”
What he meant was that it was just a matter of convenience. It was not important. She did not have to think about repaying him and naturally did not need to know his name.
“I…” Nangong Yupiao was at a loss for words. She paused for a moment and said again, “I’m prepared to thank you properly. Do you know who I am? My surname is Nangong, and I’m the daughter of the Nangong family. You saved me. The Nangong family… and I must thank you properly. Do you know? ”
These words sounded a little… arrogant.
It was very difficult to change Nangong Yupiao’s style in a short period of time.
However, at this moment, the surrounding villagers were all surprised. A noble daughter came to look for the Guan family’s sixth son?!
Oh my, they looked too noble. Their clothes were also bright and eye-catching. No one in the village had seen them before, but in short, they were bright and soft.
Not only was she fair and beautiful, but her dressing was also noble and oppressive. There were golden hairpins, silver hairpins, and emerald jade on her head. Oh my, she was really noble.
It was the first time the villagers had seen such a noble daughter. All of their gazes were strange, and they subconsciously tensed up and cowered, not daring to speak.
They were only surprised.
They were also surprised that Guan Chibei was related to this daughter of a rich family.
What was going on?
When Guan Chibei heard Nangong Yupiao’s words, his expression did not change. He still said calmly, “Miss Nangong, you don’t have to take this to heart. I just happened to bump into you falling down the building and saved you. I don’t need you to repay me.”
Nangong Yupiao’s expression could not help but change. She did not like Guan Chibei saying that he had happened to bump into her and saved her.
She was the daughter of the Nangong family. How could anyone casually save her?!
“You don’t have to reject me.” Nangong Yupiao held the handkerchief in her hand and said, “This is what I should do. I’m the most favored and noblest daughter of the Nangong family. The Nangong family should repay you. You’re from the mountains and grew up in this village? Do you want to leave the city? I can help you live in Yuan City. Perhaps, if you want, I can bring you to live in Yingzhou…”
She actually said that she could bring Guan Chibei to the imperial city!
All the villagers who heard this, exclaimed. This time, they were really surprised. How was Guan Chibei related to this noble young miss? If she said that she would repay his kindness, what kind of repayment would that be? She even said that she would bring Guan Chibei to Yingzhou!
Apart from the villagers’ surprise, they were all unable to suppress their envy and shock.
Guan Chibei was a little impatient and replied bluntly, “No need. I’m from Yuan City. Why would I go to Yingzhou? Miss Nangong, you don’t have to worry. Please leave.”
Nangong Yupiao did not move. She looked at him and said, “Then I can give you treasures or money. You saved my life, so how can I not repay you? It’s not about whether you want it or not. It’s about how I should repay you.”
Ye Lulu understood now. In other words, she was of noble status and he had saved her. In order to live up to her status, she had to repay him—no matter what—to show her worth, right?
Guan Chibei finally looked at her, but he was expressionless. He said again, “I said that there’s no need. If Miss Nangong must repay me, donate some money to the abandoned children in Yuan City. Think of it as doing a good deed.”
“Alright.” Nangong Yupiao agreed immediately. Her eyes were bright as she looked at Guan Chibei and said, “Then what’s your name?”
She had to interact with Guan Chibei.
Guan Chibei frowned and looked at her coldly. “Why are you asking me my name?”
“Because I’m using your name to donate money!” Nangong Yupiao’s tone had a hint of arrogance and pride. “Since I’m repaying you, I must make your reputation rise. Hurry up and tell me. What’s your name?”
Guan Chibei looked at her calmly and said, “Miss Nangong, you can donate in your own name. There’s no need for anything else.”
“But how can that be considered repayment?!”
However, Nangong Yupiao focused on herself and immediately said, “If that’s the case, it won’t be considered repayment. Or… I can agree to anything you want.”
What Nangong Yupiao pointed to was marriage. Her thoughts drifted off and her face flushed.
“What about your family? Don’t you want anything? I can give you houses, shops, and money as long as you want it.”
Nangong Yupiao’s eyes were fixed on Guan Chibei.
After talking for such a long time, the expressions of the other villagers became stranger as they listened to Nangong Yupiao’s words. They started to whisper among themselves. Everyone was just short of asking about the relationship between this noble lady and Guan Chibei.
Moreover, Guan Chibei’s wife was standing by the side and could only watch helplessly.
She could not say a single word.
That noble miss did not even look at Ye Lulu. It was obvious that she did not take her seriously.
Guan Chibei raised his hand and tugged at Ye Lulu, who was beside him. He pulled her to his side and said calmly to Nangong Yupiao, “If Miss Nangong insists, why don’t you give my family some money? After all, my family has four people to provide for. We also have parents and siblings. We are also starting a family business soon. If Miss Nangong wants to repay me, you can just give my family some gold.”
Ye Lulu looked up at him.
This man suddenly had a good idea.
Nangong Yupiao, on the other hand, was caught off guard and widened her eyes slightly. Since she had appeared, there was no one else in her eyes but Guan Chibei. Apart from him, she did not give anyone any looks.
She suddenly saw Ye Lulu. It was that woman from that night again!
She was instantly unhappy. Then, she heard Guan Chibei say clearly, “Four people?!”
Did that mean that he was already married and had three children?!
Nangong Yupiao was focused on other things and had never thought about whether Guan Chibei was married or had children. Now that it was suddenly mentioned, she was stunned.
Then, she looked at Ye Lulu with hostility and arrogance and asked in disbelief, “This woman is your wife?!”
Her tone and description of Ye Lulu did not sound good.
Ye Lulu blinked. Although the situation was a little complicated, she was indeed Guan Chibei’s wife.
Guan Chibei said calmly, “Yes, she’s my wife. We already have three children, so it’s difficult for us to provide for the family. If you really want to repay me, give me some money.”
Guan Chibei did not feel that there was anything wrong with asking for money. Since Nangong Yupiao had always wanted him to accept her repayment, it was reasonable for him to ask her for money.
However, Nangong Yupiao’s expression was not good. Her voice was slightly sharp as she said, “How can this woman be your wife? Which part of her is worthy for a man like you to marry her? How can an ordinary villager like her be worthy of you?!”
Nangong Yupiao really could not accept that this woman who had been an eyesore to her that night and whom she did not like was actually this man’s official wife!
That night, she was very unhappy that this woman had jumped into his arms from the third floor.
In the end, he even told Nangong Yupiao that she was his wife!
They even had children!
Nangong Yupiao felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. She looked at Ye Lulu with extreme disdain and said, “Your martial arts are strong and your skills are outstanding. Even though you’re in the mountains, you’re extraordinary. How can such an ordinary villager be worthy of you? Such a woman is extremely coarse. How can she marry you?”
Ye Lulu’s smile turned cold. Previously, she had been watching Nangong Yupiao and Guan Chibei talk, but she could not tolerate such an obvious insult.
However, Guan Chibei said before Ye Lulu could speak, “I’m also a villager who grew up in the mountains. A villager is compatible with a villager. Isn’t it reasonable for people in the mountains to be compatible?”
“Miss Nangong, you’re wrong. I’m very compatible with my wife. We’re all from the mountains. On the other hand, Miss Nangong, as a noble daughter, you belong to a prosperous Yingzhou.”
Ye Lulu closed her mouth. She didn’t have to say anything.
When Guan Chibei said these words, there was no room for rebuttal. Nangong Yupiao widened her eyes and was filled with anger. She wanted to say that this was wrong, but she could not say it.
She could not rebut Guan Chibei. As such, she asked Ye Lulu, “What capabilities do you have? Which family are you from in the village? What’s your name? Apart from giving birth, what else do you know?”
Ye Lulu looked up and said to her in a cold tone, “Why should I tell you?”
“You…” Nangong Yupiao was not polite to Ye Lulu at all. She opened her mouth to scold Ye Lulu in a condescending manner, but Guan Chibei spoke first.
“I’ll say this again. I really only saved Miss Nangong that night casually. I didn’t even take the initiative. It was my wife who asked me to save you. Therefore, Miss Nangong, you don’t have to take it to heart. If you really want to thank me, then thank my wife.”
Nangong Yupiao was suddenly stunned.
Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
How did Guan Chibei come up with this idea? In order to stop Nangong Yupiao from talking, he actually said that Ye Lulu had asked him to save her.
