Meng Nan shook his head: “Father, don’t you know what kind of temperament your son is? Fighting for power and doing evil is what I hate the most. But now you want me to be a regent, are you trying to torture me?”
Master Meng was so angry that he wanted to slap him in the face. Why did he give birth to such a worthless son? What happened to all that he learned from studying?
“Other people can’t get such a good opportunity even if they pray to gods and Buddhas, but you treat it like torture? Meng Nan, Meng Nan, what is there in your brain?”
Meng Nan didn’t make a sound. He simply stared at the floor in front of his father with an indifferent expression.
Master Meng came back to his senses suddenly, stared at Meng Nan in disbelief, and said, “You, do you still have your heart for that woman?”
Meng Nan immediately frowned and said in displeasure: “Father, don’t talk nonsense.”
In the end, he was his son. He can tell what he was thinking just by looking at his eyes and gestures.
“I’m talking nonsense? I think I’ve hit the mark!” He was so angry that he wished he could lift his chair and throw it over to him to kill him.
“Tell me, why are you so stubborn? What’s so good about that girl? Haven’t you heard of her reputation in the capital? Don’t mention the previous things before she disappear 3 years ago, but in the past three years, where has she been? What has she done? What happened to her? No one knows. But you can’t forget such a woman with no reputation, is your mind got kicked by a donkey?”
Meng Nan raised her head sharply and stared at her father with burning eyes: “Father, please be careful with your words. Zhi’er has been working as a doctor overseas for the past three years. Nothing bad has happened to her. Don’t splash dirty water on her.”
Master Meng snorted coldly: “You can talk by touching your upper and lower lips, and you can say whatever you want, but so what? Can you control my mouth? Can you control everyone’s mouth in the world?”
Meng Nan’s face was cold and his tone was cold: “I don’t care what the world is talking about. I just hope that the people around me will not be so mean to her.”
Master Meng’s voice was also raised a few degrees, and he sneered repeatedly: “I was mean to her? Kid, you haven’t seen what it means to be mean!”
The quarrel between the father and son fell into Jin Shiwei’s ears.
If there was anyone in this world who truly understands Meng Nan’s heart, then this person must be Jin Shiwei.
As a bystander, he was very clear about his young master’s feelings toward Bai Zhi. No words can make his young master change his mind, let alone a few rumors.
The only one who can stop the young master was Bai Zhi herself.
Three years ago, Bai Zhi stopped him.
That’s why he agreed to the marriage arranged by Madam Meng.
Today, three years later, the only one who can stop him was probably himself.

In Yining Courtyard
Princess Yiping was in a daze while holding a gold-painted lamp when suddenly, a maidservant hurried in with a flustered expression.
Princess Yiping came back to her senses, and gave the maidservant a dissatisfied look: “What are you doing panicking? Is the sky about to fall?”
Xiao He hurriedly said: “Princess, it’s not good. I have something important to report. The rumors are true. Miss Bai from Dongfang Family has returned to the capital. Young Master went to see her today.”
Princess Yiping stood up and stared at the maidservant with her beautiful eyes: “What did you say? The young master went to see her today? Where did they meet?”
Xiao He hurriedly said: “Sijiu said that Miss Bai went to Prince Jin’s Mansion. The young master saw her on the road and followed immediately. He stayed in Prince Jin’s Mansion for an hour before coming out.”
Princess Yiping throws her teacup in anger: “Well, Meng Nan, you are so busy that you don’t even have time to see me, but you have time to meet that vixen, why? Do you still think you are the same Meng Nan three years ago?”
