<h4>Chapter 725: Chapter 0727: Picking Faults Constantly</h4>


    Yuwen Kangli was stunned. Before he came up, the front desk hadn’t told him that Nangong Man Sha was here.


    Dammit!


    Even though Yuwen Kangli was not in the least bit afraid of Nangong Yunhai, he still felt somewhat intimidated by Nangong Man Sha.


    It is often said that desire is a sharp de hanging overhead; although Nangong Man Sha was just a woman, her lethality was even more brutal than that of men.


    Yuwen Kangli coughed awkwardly, "So Miss Man Sha is here too. Why isn’t brother Yunhai here? I haven’t seen him in a long time."


    Chu Ge silently watched Yuwen Kangli speak insincere words, sneering inwardly. He thought Yuwen Kangli was a man of integrity, but something piqued his curiosity; why was Yuwen Kangli so cautious around Nangong Man Sha, and yet behaved differently in front of Nangong Yunhai?


    Nangong Man Sha’s face held a faint smile. If one were observant, they would realize that the smile didn’t reach her eyes, and even contained a bit of coldness. She looked at Yuwen Kangli and snorted, "Young Master Yuwen, have you learned nothing over these years? You haven’t changed your bad habit of showing up uninvited at all."


    Yuwen Kangli coughed lightly, chuckling awkwardly, "Misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."


    Nangong Man Sha coldly snorted, "Oh? All misunderstandings? Then the shares of the Nangong Family that you snatched from Yun Ruo at the Gambling Stone Field, was that also a misunderstanding?"


    Yuwen Kangli didn’t expect Nangong Man Sha to bring this up, but those shares had already fallen into Chu Ge’s hands, hadn’t they?


    Yuwen Kangli nced at Chu Ge with suspicion and swallowed silently. The shares were already in Chu Ge’s hands; he couldn’t exin that, as any exnation would imply that he truly did snatch the shares from Nangong Yun Ruo.


    It’s one thing for him to have done it, but another to admit it. If he were to acknowledge this matter, it would escte from a personal feud to involve their entire families.


    The Yuwen Family would then bebeled as coveting the Nangong Family’s shares, and if matters were taken seriously, they could even be suspected of disrupting the bnce and order of Beijing.


    Although Yuwen Kangli was young and impetuous, he could still assess the advantages and disadvantages therein; this was also why he had always shown respect to Nangong Man Sha like precious treasure, yet engaged in strife with Nangong Yunhai and the others.


    Because in the eyes of the elders, his struggles with Nangong Yun Ruo and Nangong Yunhai were just child’s y, quite normal.


    But if he targeted Nangong Man Sha, that would be a very different matter.


    Nangong Man Sha was the foremost debutante of the Capital City, and moreover, she was a woman. If he, a grown man, would start to argue with her and bully her, the nature of it would definitely change.


    "Miss Man Sha is joking, when have I ever obtained shares of the Nangong Family?"


    Yuwen Kangli deliberately used a specific phrase, implying that he had never taken any shares from the Nangong Family because the shares had been taken by Chu Ge before they ever went through his hands.


    Nangong Man Sha looked at him with a clear and cold gaze, saying, "Young Master Yuwen, would you like to stay for dinner?"


    Upon hearing this, Yuwen Kangli immediately shook his head, "No, no, no, I have other things to attend to; I must take my leave first."


    Yuwen Kangli hade in a flurry but now scurried away in embarrassment, significantly losing face in front of Chu Ge.


    This time it was easy for them to leave in front of me, but next time it may not be so certain.


    Yuwen Kangli’s haughtiness was not only unventted, on the contrary, he was even more annoyed, especially since it was not just Nangong Man Sha present, but also in front of Chu Ge.


    How could he not be infuriated when, as a man, he couldn’t hold his head up before a woman!


    Inside the private room, after Yuwen Kangli left, Chu Ge sat back down. He looked up at Nangong Man Sha and said, "Thank you, Miss Man Sha, for your help."


    Nangong Man Sha smiled and shook her head, "This Yuwen Kangli has always been looking for opportunities to suppress our Nangong Family in various ways. Now, because of those rumors, it has implicated Mr. Chu..."


    Nangong Man Sha paused her words and nced sideways at Mu Bingtong, feeling that she had said too much. She smiled awkwardly, "I’m sorry, Lady Mu, actually there’s nothing between Mr. Chu and me. It’s just because of my status that the public has generated some unfavorable gossip, but that’s just gossip, not reality. I hope it won’t cause you any trouble."


    Mu Bingtong smiled and shook her head, "It’s okay, I don’t mind."


    Chu Ge turned his eyes in surprise towards her, as if guessing the sincerity of Mu Bingtong’s words.


    At the same time, Mu Bingtong’s words also stunned Jian Chunqiu, who had been paying attention to Mu Bingtong from the start. After all, she was Chu Ge’s fiancée, personally chosen by that old man. Of course, he had to carefully assess the old man’s choice.


    However, her recent statement surprised him because, in his view, no woman would be willing to see her fiancé involved in rumors with another woman. Now, Chu Ge’s rumored girlfriend was right in front of her, and yet she could maintain such magnanimity, even believing there was nothing between Chu Ge and the other woman.


    Hmm, this truly surprised him and made him view Mu Bingtong differently.


    Nangong Man Sha had not expected Mu Bingtong to respond that way either. She was momentarily taken aback, then lowered her eyes with a faint smile on her lips.


    She finally understood why Chu Ge had always refused her; it turns out he had a fiancée who trusted him so much by his side, not to mention the fiancée was not only beautiful but also very gentle.


    Only a fool would continue to seek pleasures outside.


    Nangong Man Sha suddenly felt a sense of relief. If she had to lose to Mu Bingtong, it didn’t feel like a loss at all.


    In just a few short seconds, Nangong Man Sha adjusted her emotions, and when she looked up again, the obscure light in her eyes had vanished.


    Among those present, only Lin Dong, carefree as he was, opened his innocent eyes wide, looked around, and then said somewhat angrily, "Just let Yuwen Kangli go like that? Isn’t that letting him off too easily?"


    Chu Ge shook his head gently, "Never mind, Yuwen Kangli definitely won’t let it go at that. He will find another opportunity to pick a fight."


    Mu Bingtong looked at him puzzled, "Does this Yuwen Kangli have a grudge against you? Why do I feel like he’s always targeting you?"


    Chu Ge smiled, should he say they had a grudge?


    The man had interfered with his affairs time and again, was that not sufficient to be considered a grudge between them?


    However, it was true that Yuwen Kangli couldn’t stand the sight of him.


    "Sort of," Chu Ge’s lips curved into a slight smile. In his hands, he held ten percent of the Yuwen Family’s shares, shares that hade from Yuwen Kangli’s hands.
