Chapter 1056 Puzzling And Incomprehensible

Surprisingly, Lu Jingyuan nodded again.

She wasn't just putting on airs. She genuinely agreed with Feng Wan's words.

That was because in the Lu family, there were also many rules and regulations, and there were many things that the elders could not allow to happen.

In Lu Jingyuan's view, Feng Wan's current attitude was completely normal. Parents are just like that. There's absolutely no problem. What does Nan Xing's resignation have to do with me?

“Nan Xing didn't tell me he was planning to resign. I was unaware, so I won't comment on it,” said Lu Jingyuan.

“He said he wanted to resign and go to the capital with you,” Feng Wan said.

Lu Jingyuan frowned. Has that guy lost his mind?

“Why is he following me to the capital?” Lu Jingyuan asked.

“I'm not sure about that. Perhaps he wants to follow in your footsteps. He believes he's found true love and is willing to give everything for it. He's a man approaching his thirties, and I thought he would be mature enough by now. I never expected him to act like a love-struck teenager, doing all sorts of crazy things for love. I'm very disappointed. If words got out that he resigned for a woman, he would be the laughingstock among the higher-ups, and his responsibility would also be questioned. Even though he doesn't carry the same heavy responsibilities as Nan Chen, he still represents the Nan family within the corporation. I won't allow him to resign for your sake.”

Lu Jingyuan nodded, indicating understanding. “But I was unaware of this. In fact, I wouldn't have let him follow me. What would I be doing taking him to the capital?” asked Lu Jingyuan.

“You truly have no idea?”

“Of course, I have no idea. These are all his own ideas. They have nothing to do with me,” Lu Jingyuan answered.

“Can you try to persuade him not to leave?” Feng Wan asked.

“It's none of my business. I won't get involved,” said Lu Jingyuan.

Feng Wan seemed somewhat displeased. “Don't you think your words are a bit insensitive?”

“Are you not doing the same thing?” Those were the harshest words Lu Jingyuan had ever said. Well, you tell me to get lost, yet you want me to persuade Nan Xing for you? On what grounds?

“Actually, you are a very good girl. You're independent, intellectual, and beautiful,” Feng Wan said.

The sudden praise left Lu Jingyuan somewhat unable to digest.

“But you and Nan Xing are not suitable for each other. That's why I want you to leave,” Feng Wan continued.

“I also feel that he and I are not a good match, so I didn't accept his advances,” said Lu Jingyuan.

“Why do you also feel that you're not a good match for him?” Feng Wan asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I have children, and you all can't accept it. However, I don't think I've done anything wrong,” said Lu Jingyuan.

Feng Wan had no choice but to nod in agreement. She's a wise woman.

“Stay here,” Feng Wan suddenly said.

Feng Wan really changed her mind in an instant, suddenly feeling that such a clear-minded person wouldn't cause Nan Xing trouble.

Only those foolish and troublesome women would bring misfortune to the men around them.

A smart and rational woman wouldn't trap a man in a predicament.

Moreover, Lu Jingyuan was not only rational, but she was also a bit cold-hearted.

Furthermore, Feng Wan had also noticed that Lu Jingyuan didn't seem particularly interested in marrying into the Nan family. Well, that makes things easier. Why the rush? Even if Nan Xing goes after her, it's not guaranteed he'll get her. If he gets her and starts talking about marriage, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Nan Chen and Ning Ran have a child together, don't they? And yet, they're still not married, right?

Feng Wan suddenly changed her mind, which left Lu Jingyuan somewhat puzzled. Could this be a deliberate deception against me?

“No. I must go,” Lu Jingyuan insisted.

“I apologize for my previous actions,” Feng Wan said.

This is indeed quite rare. She is the matriarch of the Nan family and Nan Chen's grandmother! She's actually apologizing to me! Lu Jingyuan felt a bit overwhelmed.

“Don't be. It's really not a big deal,” Lu Jingyuan said. “You have your reasons, and I can understand that.”

“So, have you agreed to stay?” Feng Wan asked.

“No. I still intend to resign. My resignation isn't a ploy to force an apology out of you. I've never even considered expecting an apology from you.” Lu Jingyuan was being frank and honest.

“Since you don't mind, please stay. I assure you, if I have any thoughts in the future, I will communicate with you directly. I won't resort to those underhanded tactics,” said Feng Wan.

“No. I will still leave. I have my own thoughts, too.”

Feng Wan was getting p*ssed off. I've already apologized for my behavior. What more do you want from me? Can't you cut me some slack? If not for my sake, could you at least show some respect for Nan Chen?

“That's it. Your resignation won't be approved. I'm tired. I need to go back and rest. You should think it over.” Feng Wan stood up.

Nan Chen was also taken aback when he heard that his grandmother had come to the company.

He couldn't even remember how many years it had been since his grandmother last visited the company herself.

Ever since he took over as the CEO, his grandmother hadn't visited.

Feng Wan walked around Nan Chen's office and shook her head repeatedly. “This office is as luxurious as a private club. Can you believe it?”

Jiang Zhe chuckled. “This was designed and decorated by Mr. Xing. It was so luxurious and ostentatious that he was sent to work in Alendor for a long time by Mr. Chen.”

Feng Wan pondered. “Yes. I heard there was such an incident. Serves him right! Nan Xing is unable to do anything right and is always causing trouble.”

Jiang Zhe chuckled along.

At that moment, Nan Chen, who had just finished his meeting, arrived. “Grandma, what brings you here?” he asked.

“I need to talk to you. Lu Jingyuan's resignation cannot be approved.”

“I didn't approve it, but if she insists on leaving, we can't hold her back,” Nan Chen said.

“I'm here to ask you to figure out how to make her stay. No matter what method you use, no matter the cost, you must keep her here. Nan Xing can't follow her. If she leaves and forces Nan Xing to stay, that good-for-nothing Nan Xing would be unsettled. In order to prevent that from happening, we need to keep Lu Jingyuan. I'm entrusting this task to you,” Feng Wan answered.

Feng Wan had given a strict order.

Nan Chen felt helpless when he heard that. Is the blame being shifted onto me? So, you all went behind my back to get Lu Jingyuan to resign without informing me. Now that things have turned out this way, you expect me to clean up the mess? Lu Jingyuan is a woman, and I'm a man. What can I possibly do to her? I can't always have Qiao Zhan do things for me, like forcibly locking her up, can I? If I were to do that, Tang Tiance would use his resources and fight me to the death, wouldn't he?

“Grandma, it was you who instructed Jiang Zhe to do this. Whoever started the trouble should end it. Only he can handle this matter well. Rest assured, he will definitely take care of this for you,” Nan Chen said calmly.

Jiang Zhe, standing nearby, felt his legs go weak. Oh, no! Mr. Chen has pushed the matter onto me!

Jiang Zhe wanted to retaliate. “Mr. Chen, I—”

“This situation arose because of you, so naturally, you should be the one to resolve it. There's no need for further discussion,” Nan Chen said.

Turning to Feng Wan, Nan Chen continued, “Grandma, let me take you home. Jiang Zhe will handle this matter well.”

“All right, that's that, then. I'm leaving now,” Feng Wan responded.

Jiang Zhe fell into a bout of despair. Apologies are useless, and pleading is pointless. How do you expect me to keep that lady around?
