Chapter 170

The Old Master was clearly furious, his entire being radiating a terrifying aura.

Lin Xuezhen was stunned by the intimidation. After a moment, she stammered, “I didn’t… I, I only said that because Zhiyi has a history!”

Old Master Di looked at her and snorted, his voice laced with mockery. “What history? When she supposedly pushed Nan Wanyue back then, did you see it with your own eyes, or do you have evidence? If you’re going to be this stupid, then keep your head down and behave. Stop acting out in public all day long, lest you humiliate your parents!”

Still fuming, he cursed, “You brainless thing. You and that Nan Wanyue really are like mother and daughter-neither of you has any class!”

Lin Xuezhen hadn’t expected Old Master Di to be so harsh.

His words were like a knife to her pride. Being lectured so severely, her face flushed a deep red, and she couldn’t find a single word to say in response.

Finally, she managed to choke out, “Aren’t you… being a bit too much?”

“This is too much? If I weren’t afraid of getting my hands dirty, I’d slap you!”

Old Master Di glared at her coldly.

Seeing this, Nan Jincheng quickly stepped forward to help his mother, speaking in a placating tone. “Old Master Di, my mother is only like this because she’s worried about Wanyue. Please don’t take offense.”

Old Master Di snorted again. “Don’t take offense? If your whole family hadn’t lost your consciences, would I even be wasting my breath here? You don’t protect your own biological daughter, yet you spend all day protecting an outsider! What a joke!”

After finishing his scathing mockery, Old Master Di called out loudly, “Jing! Show these blind fools that video! Let them open their eyes and see clearly whether Zhiyi Girl actually pushed that imposter!”

Di Shijing nodded calmly, took out his phone, and started the video.

Before long, the truth of the entire incident was laid bare before their eyes.

After watching it, Old Madam Nan spoke up. “I knew it. My granddaughter isn’t that kind of person!”

Old Master Nan was both angry and disappointed. He turned to Lin Xuezhen and asked, “Did you see it clearly? Was it Zhiyi who pushed her? Only blind fools like you would believe Nan Wanyue! From now on, don’t you dare say another bad word about my granddaughter in front of me!”

Lin Xuezhen couldn’t say a word, her entire face burning with humiliation.

From beginning to end, Nan Zhiyi didn’t even bother to spare Lin Xuezhen a single glance.

She kept her attention entirely on Old Madam Nan.

Seeing the elderly woman’s emotional state fluctuating, she quickly coaxed her in a soft voice, “Grandmother, please don’t be angry. Your health has only just started to improve.”

“How can I not be angry!”

Old Madam Nan’s temper flared as she glared at Lin Xuezhen, rebuking her sharply. “It makes my blood boil just seeing such a heartless creature in this family! What a disgrace!”

As she spoke, her emotions became more agitated, and she shouted, “Get out! All of you, get out!”

Lin Xuezhen didn’t dare say anything else, fearing she might cause the old woman’s health to take a turn for the worse. She turned to leave.

However, before she could take two steps, Di Shijing blocked her path.

The man’s aura was powerful, easily matching that of Old Master Di. His icy tone left no room for argument. “Before you leave, don’t you think you owe her an apology?”

Lin Xuezhen was stunned, and everyone else looked over in surprise.

Including Nan Zhiyi.

She hadn’t expected this man to step forward and defend her.

Di Shijing didn’t look at Nan Zhiyi. He only spoke coldly, “Your slander and verbal abuse might just be a matter of moving your lips to you, but for others, it can leave indelible scars in their hearts. Madam Nan, as an elder, you should know that when you do something wrong, you must apologize. If you don’t understand that, then I’ll have to have the Di Corporation’s lawyers step in and sue you for defamation!”
Lin Xuezhen’s eyes widened, her face a mask of disbelief. “What do you mean by that? You’re going to sue me for Nan Zhiyi’s sake?”

“Is there a problem?”

Di Shijing looked at her coldly, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

Lin Xuezhen’s breath hitched. She couldn’t help but demand, “So, are you planning to reconcile with Nan Zhiyi now? What about our Wanyue?”

Upon hearing this, Old Master Di didn’t hesitate to interject. “What about her? The Di Family will never accept a woman like that as a daughter-in-law! Stop your delusions right now! From beginning to end, the only one we have ever accepted is Zhiyi Girl!”

Di Shijing pursed his lips, and for once, he didn’t deny it.

Lin Xuezhen was utterly stunned.

She had been counting on Nan Wanyue marrying into the Di Family so that her own status would rise along with her daughter’s.

But now, was that dream about to go up in smoke?

How did things turn out like this?

In a daze, Lin Xuezhen was forced to apologize to Nan Zhiyi before being kicked out of the hospital room.

Once the door closed, the atmosphere in the room finally began to settle.

Old Master Di looked at his grandson with great satisfaction.

This time, the boy hadn’t let him down!

Old Master Nan and Old Madam Nan, however, were still feeling a bit low.

Seeing this, Old Master Di decided to change the subject. “When can my sister-in-law be discharged?”

“She could have left a long time ago,” Old Master Nan replied with a sigh. “But the thought of going back to that house makes her never want to leave.”

Old Madam Nan chimed in, “What’s the point of going back? Just to be driven back here by anger?”

The Nan Family home was a mess right now; it was much more peaceful to stay in the hospital!

Seeing their distress, Nan Zhiyi spoke up. “Then, Grandpa, Grandma… would you like to come stay at my place?”

Old Madam Nan froze for a moment at those words. Then, her eyes lit up as she asked, “Can we? We can really stay with you?”

Seeing her grandmother’s eager expression, Nan Zhiyi couldn’t help but smile. “Of course.”

Although the children’s existence would be exposed if the two elders moved in, she had never intended to keep it a secret from them anyway.

Old Master Di voiced his approval. “That’s a great idea! I can even drop by to visit in the future!”

Old Master Nan and Old Madam Nan were both very tempted by the offer.

However, Nan Zhiyi’s expression stiffened.

Grandpa Di coming to visit?

If he came over, how would she hide the children?

Di Shijing was sharp enough to catch the shift in her emotions, and he felt a flicker of surprise.

This woman… seemed like she didn’t welcome his grandfather?

Why?

He had been to her house once before, and there didn’t seem to be anything scandalous to hide…

Di Shijing narrowed his eyes, instinctively studying Nan Zhiyi as if trying to see right through her.

Feeling his gaze, Nan Zhiyi felt inexplicably guilty. she looked away immediately, her entire being filled with unease.

After so many years of being unable to be close to their biological granddaughter, the two elders of the Nan Family were naturally more than willing now that they had the chance.

Still, Old Master Nan was somewhat concerned. “If we go, won’t we be a burden to you?”

After all, Nan Zhiyi was usually very busy.

“Not at all.”

Nan Zhiyi shook her head and said with a smile, “I have a housekeeper at home who takes care of the meals and daily life, so you don’t have to worry about anything. Your presence won’t affect me.”

Only then did the two elders feel at ease.

Old Madam Nan said with delight, “In that case, we’ll go!”

They couldn’t be happier to live with their granddaughter!

Once the matter was settled, Nan Zhiyi promised to come by the next morning to pick them up for their discharge.
