Chapter 1476: Chapter 1493: Nangong Jinlie’s Final Ultimatum 5

"So? You deliberately made an unarmed girl turn against her mother, watching it all happen with open eyes. Isn’t this exactly what you wanted? But you have children too. Don’t you think this is very cruel?" Xia Xiaonuan asked each word slowly.

Nangong Jinlie’s face was almost expressionless. It seemed that Xiaonuan’s sarcastic words had no effect on his emotions.

He simply took out a pipe and placed it near his mouth for a puff.

But the pipe wasn’t lit; he just took a few symbolic puffs and then set it down.

"I know you’ll hate me, but to end all this, someone has to get hurt. Moreover, if you refuse to let go, this is only the beginning.

If you don’t want today’s scene to play out for Ling’er..."

Xia Xiaonuan felt all the blood in her body rushing to her feet.

She looked pale, her whole body cold as she stared incredulously at Nangong Jinlie.

"I don’t believe you would be so cruel to the child you love the most..." She knew that Nangong Yaoling was Nangong Jinlie’s most cherished grandson, and this was something everyone acknowledged.

So, she had always bet that Nangong Jinlie would not actually reveal that matter.

But to her surprise, Nangong Jinlie suddenly laughed out loud.

He gently knocked the gold-edged pipe in his hand twice on the table.

"Child, you’re still too young. You don’t understand that a businessman, to protect his own company, can do anything...

Moreover, if getting hurt can make him understand what he truly wants, then I can only painfully let him face this reality."

If Xia Xiaonuan were standing at this moment, she thought she would surely collapse to the ground with weak knees.

Fortunately, she was sitting in a chair, and despite feeling dizzy, she didn’t pass out on the spot.

As she looked at Nangong Jinlie’s sharp, indifferent gaze, she knew that if she continued to persist, Nangong Jinlie might actually do it.

By that time, if it really reached a dead end, not only would she and Nangong Yaoling be separated, but Nangong Yaoling would also endure immense pain and torment.

Moreover, if she didn’t leave, Nangong Jinlie would not be content.

Xiaonuan closed her eyes briefly, and before she could catch her breath, Nangong Jinlie continued, "And now, luckily, you and Ling’er don’t have any children. If... if you end up having children, then perhaps another innocent life will be hurt."

Xia Xiaonuan shuddered all over.

She looked at Nangong Jinlie, her pupils filled with a trace of fear and shock.

Could it be that Nangong Jinlie already knew something?

"Don’t look at me like that," Nangong Jinlie stared at her as he spoke, "If you and Ling’er have children in the future, then will she call Ling’er’s mother grandma or mom? How awkward would that be for Ling’er being stuck in the middle? So, Xiaonuan, you’re a smart person. I don’t want to make things too absolute. Do you understand?"

Xia Xiaonuan had a moment where her mind was almost blank.

She supported her forehead with her hand, and after a few seconds, she finally came to her senses.

"If I leave, Nangong Yaoling will be just as miserable... He will never love another woman. Do you want him to live in pain for the rest of his life?"

Xia Xiaonuan gritted her teeth, mustering up the last bit of courage to ask.

Nangong Jinlie looked at her and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Girl, you’re truly confident! However, don’t forget that excessive confidence is arrogance!"
