In the system of super rich people, handsome men are just tools

Chapter 378 Taking Advantage of an Excuse

Thinking of this, Nanxin's face turned deathly pale, and she couldn't help but tremble.

The last incident involved the sixth sister and seventh brother, who were expelled from the fifth branch of the family. They plotted to kill their father and take his place, but their fate was...

"Brother." She leaned closer to Nan En, biting her lip lightly, and grabbed Nan En's sleeve.

"Don't be afraid."

A warm, large hand gently patted her hand. The handsome young man's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was still calm: "It will be alright."

Those four simple words seemed to give Nanxin courage and alleviate her fear at that moment.

The proud Miss Nan seemed to regain her senses, gripped her brother's sleeve tightly, raised her head again, and looked down at her other brothers and sisters with a condescending gaze.

Those who couldn't hide their thoughts weren't much better than her. As for those who could, they all had their own calculations. The smiling tiger Nan Song crossed his arms and smiled, "I wonder why Father called us here. Everyone's here now, it wouldn't be right to keep us waiting."

He is a tough person, and the things he does on a daily basis are only assigned by Nanchai, so it doesn't seem abrupt to say that.

Upon hearing his second son's words, Nan Cha glanced over, his face no longer showing the solemnity he had shown at the beginning.

It must be said that the sons born to his second wife were all devoted to him; if it weren't for...

His gaze swept over Nanxin, and his face immediately darkened.

The little bastard actually kept it from him for so long. Nan En must have been involved in hiding it. He really raised a good son, protecting such a lowly bastard.

"Official business is important." A calm female voice came from the side; it was the First Wife.

The eldest daughter-in-law is dignified, and every move she makes exudes charm, like a jar of aged wine, rich and mellow.

She and Nancha were childhood sweethearts. Through many years of ups and downs, even though their love had faded over the years, their affection remained.

In particular, this lady knew when to advance and when to retreat, and all her children were satisfied with the Southern Charioteer, so she did not take the initiative to fight for anything; it was better to remain still than to make a move.

No matter how much the second and third wives and the other wives fight over the inheritance, she is confident that the main family business will eventually be in her hands.

Hearing his wife's words, Nan Cha's expression softened slightly. He looked around and finally focused on the second and fourth wives, shouting sharply, "Nan Pa, Nan Jiong!"

"Father!"

The two people who were called shuddered, and then walked out of the crowd.

"Your Majesty!"

"Yes."

"boom."

The two of them knelt down on the ground simultaneously, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

The two were tense, and the second wife breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't Xin'er's identity that was exposed.

The events of that year were only forgotten after much trouble; if they were brought up again now, Nan Cha wouldn't let her off the hook.

"Badi, what's going on? Why are you making people kneel for no reason?" She walked out, feigning confusion and adopting the demeanor of a kind mother, her voice soft and gentle.

"Bang!" Nan Cha slammed his hand on the table, glaring angrily at him: "Shut up!"

"Yes." The second wife trembled in fright.

Nanchai's eyes were so cold. The last time I saw that look was the day I was almost caught cheating.

The second wife dared not speak again, obediently hiding to the side like a quail, even though it was her son kneeling there.

Nan Xin glanced at the Second Madam with disdain in her heart, then clung tightly to her brother.

Yes, she hated her mother.

Unlike the fourth wife's cowardly mother, the second wife was always bold in her own affairs. When she was caught in public with the devil's bell, she begged and pleaded. But when it came to her children, she would take advantage of them if things went well, and stay far away if things didn't. She was very calculating about her own interests.

She still remembers the time when she was seven years old, when her father made her kneel in the pouring rain. Even the scoundrel Nanpa came out to plead for her, but her mother never showed up, even when she had a high fever for three days and was on the verge of death, she still hid away.

There is nothing that can give her the emotional support to be with such a person.

In this family, her only relative was Nan En, her closest brother.

Nan Cha coldly swept his gaze across the second room, then looked at the two kneeling on the ground. His expression was extremely oppressive. He stood up and kicked the two of them to the ground with a thud.

"You two bastards, you dare to touch the general's things!" he cursed.

The two men who had been kicked to the ground were sweating profusely. Before they could even understand what was happening, they were stunned by those words.

Nanpa reacted last, scrambling to his feet in a panic. Without stopping, he knelt down and kowtowed, repeatedly crying out his innocence: "Father, please understand! Even if I had the greatest courage, I would never dare to touch the general's things!"

As he spoke, his brain raced, but he couldn't come up with a solution no matter how hard he tried.

Like him, the fourth son, Nanjiong, hurriedly got up and shouted, "Yes, Father, how could I have the guts?"

Who are they, and where did they get the audacity to do this? They are genuinely protesting their innocence.

"Wasn't that ship in international waters your doing?" the South Charioteer roared, reminding him.

This reminder made the two realize that they had recently intercepted a batch of goods, all of excellent quality, which would surely fetch a large sum of money if they resold them. Little did they expect that it turned out to be the general's ship.

Can...

"Father, please understand, we truly did not know it was the general's ship; we thought it belonged to the Chinnawa family." The two men looked tense, almost crying, and knelt on the ground to kowtow, indicating that they really did not know.

The Chinnawa family is just a small family in Maine, but it's unexpected that they could get in touch with the general. No wonder the cargo on the ship was so valuable.

"You two idiots, trying to climb the ladder in one fell swoop! From today onwards, neither of you is to be involved in any affairs. Stay home and reflect on your mistakes!"

boom!

He secluded himself to reflect on his mistakes.

Finished!

The two men turned pale and nearly collapsed to the ground, because it meant that their businesses would have to be sold off and taken over by their other brothers.

Father, this is an attempt to marginalize them.

"Father, no, I was wrong, I'll go apologize to the general," Nan Jiong shouted anxiously.

The fourth branch of the family has a low profile and is not favored. They only have a small amount of property, so if it is taken away, they will have nowhere to stand.

In comparison, Nanpa thought more deeply, his gaze eagerly fixed on the two brothers, Nansong and Nanen.

With Nansa's power, even if one accidentally offends the general, ignorance is no excuse; at most, one would have to pay double the compensation, and the general might not hold it against them.

This time, however, the father's intentions were clearly different. While it seemed that the fourth branch of the family had suffered serious losses, the second branch was actually the main focus.

He was in charge of the affairs of the high seas and the Tiara port. Not to mention Nansa, even other forces in Maine would take the initiative to communicate with the fortress. On ordinary days, Nanen and Nansong would export their shady things through this channel to earn money and connect with 'distinguished guests'. The second branch had also been working here for several years, but now their father wanted to take it back?

Say something?

Nanpa gestured to her brother with her eyes. Nansong remained silent with a somber expression. Then she looked at Nanen, who shook his head almost imperceptibly.

Nan En had an idea in mind, and was just waiting for it to be confirmed.

"Apologize? What are you? You dare to apologize to the general?!" Nan Cha smirked, his eyes narrowing, showing no restraint in his sarcasm.

The words were addressed to Nan Jiong, but as he spoke, his gaze subtly swept over the Second Madam and Nan Xin. Only Nan Jiong, who had been so harshly treated, turned pale and collapsed to the ground. The Fourth Madam also staggered, seemingly never expecting her father and Ba Di to be so cruel to her and her son.

Nan Jiong is finished.
