As the butler of the Xue family, a newly emerging wealthy family.

He could slam his fist on the table in front of Wang Pengzhan, point his finger at Chu Nan and curse him, and he could run rampant in the Civil Security Bureau.

Because these people and these places are all within the Xue family's control.

But the old lady of the Jiang family—she's someone of a completely different level.

Xue Jiu may disregard the Director of the Civil Security Bureau, but he will not offend the Jiang family for the sake of a son whose inheritance rights have been revoked.

Xue Jiu knew better than anyone else how to calculate this.

The Xue family's butler took a deep breath.

He looked at Uncle Chen's calm face, then glanced at Chu Nan, who sat in the chair and hadn't looked at him at all, before pulling his hand back from mid-air and straightening the hem of his suit.

Then he walked up to Chu Nan, bent down, and leaned close to Chu Nan's ear.

His voice was very low, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, "Kid, don't be so smug. You think the Jiang family can protect you forever?"

"With Grandma Jiang backing you up today, I can't touch you, but don't forget, that old lady can't have someone protecting you every day. Sooner or later, you'll be all alone!"

He straightened up, gave Wang Pengzhan a perfunctory nod, and strode towards the door.

He paused at the door, as if he wanted to turn back and say something, but in the end he just gritted his teeth and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

After watching the Xue family steward's figure disappear, Uncle Chen turned around and nodded politely to Wang Pengzhan.

"Director Wang, I'm sorry to have troubled you today. I'll take the person with me. The old lady said that if you need any cooperation later, please let me know."

Wang Pengzhan smiled and waved his hand, "The matter has been investigated, Uncle Jiang, you're too kind."

He watched as Uncle Chen and Chu Nan walked out of the interrogation room, then leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

He will settle this score with the Xue family sooner or later.

But not today, and not with a butler!

After Chu Nan followed Uncle Jiang out of the interrogation room.

The queen was leaning against the wall in the corridor. When she saw him come out, she immediately stood up straight.

"Master, when will you accept me as your disciple?"

"this……"

Before Chu Nan could answer, Wang Pengzhan's voice came from behind, "Your Majesty, don't be silly, come here!"

The Queen wanted to say something more, but seeing her father's serious expression, she could only remain silent.

However, judging from her stubborn little eyes, it's not hard to see that she doesn't intend to give up on becoming an apprentice easily.

Jiang Bo saw all this and jokingly said with a smile, "Mr. Chu is really lucky with women. Not only has he been noticed by the widow of Baihua Group, but now he has also gained the daughter of a bureau chief."

"I really don't know if my young lady can stand out from these competitors."

Chu Nan explained, "Uncle Jiang, please don't misunderstand. The Queen and I have nothing between us. It's just that she thinks I'm very skilled and wants to become my apprentice."

Uncle Jiang, standing to the side, walked with unhurried steps. "Oh? So, you really do have feelings for that widow from the Baihua Group?"

"..."

Now Chu Nan didn't know how to answer.

He went to rescue Xia Wantang because he felt that Xia Wantang was kidnapped because of him.

Of course, feelings also play a part.

Whether this feeling is what is called love, he himself is not sure.

Fortunately, Uncle Jiang didn't press the matter further. After waiting in front of the car, he gestured invitingly, "Mr. Chu, please get in. The old lady and young lady are waiting for you at home..."

The car stopped in front of the clinic.

Chu Nan looked out the window at the familiar roller shutter door and the motion-sensor light that flickered on and off at the door.

He had thought that Uncle Chen would take him to the Jiang family's old house or Jiang Yingxue's villa, but the car stopped here instead.

"Uncle Chen, what's this?"

Uncle Chen turned around from the passenger seat, his wrinkled face still displaying the same composure as before, his tone even softer than in the interrogation room.

"Mr. Chu, the old lady said that you should go back to the clinic tonight to rest, but you must give her an answer by tomorrow morning. Tonight is her final deadline for you."

"Of course, as a butler I shouldn't say anything, but I still want to say that my young lady comes from a wealthy family, is a virgin, and has deep feelings for you."

"And that person from Baihua Group... well, as the saying goes, 'a widow's door is always full of gossip.' You're a fine young man who's never been married before, there's no need for you to marry someone who's been divorced, is there?"

"Please think it over carefully!"

Uncle Chen didn't say anything more, but simply bowed slightly to let Chu Nan get out of the car.

After Chu Nan got out of the car, Uncle Chen left. He took out his keys and opened the clinic door.

The room was just as it had been before he left; the medical record was half-flipped, and a few leaves of the potted green ivy on the windowsill had withered.

He took off his coat and threw it on the back of the chair, then sat at the examination table for a while.

If you had asked Chu Nan a month ago whether to marry Jiang Yingxue or choose Xia Wantang, he would have thought it was a joke.

But now, this has actually happened.

Chu Nan closed his eyes, and the first thing that came to mind was Jiang Yingxue's face.

She sat in her wheelchair, her ears red, looking haughty.

Then there's Xia Wantang, showing him teasing her in various ways.

These two women are like the hottest charcoal in winter; getting too close will burn you, and staying too far away will make you feel cold.

Like a spring breeze blowing through a cherry tree, it comes and goes without warning.

They all clearly had feelings for him, and he felt the same way about them.

But whether this relationship has developed into love or even marriage, Chu Nan himself has no answer.

Chu Nan sat at the consultation table for a long time, then stood up and went to the restroom, where he turned on the tap and splashed cold water on his face.

I'm not going to think about it anymore, I'm going to sleep!

Things will work themselves out when we reach the bridge!

Moreover, after the lotus bud rapidly expanded to eight petals, the last petal remained unresponsive.

He can't do that kind of thing unless the lotus bud in the Qian position opens.

How can one choose a life partner?

Chu Nan, who was lying on the bed, quickly fell asleep.

This time, he entered that familiar dream once again.

The woman, who possessed both a cold and alluring aura, stood there, neither approaching nor speaking, but simply watching Chu Nan quietly.

None of the ambiguous relationships that seemed to follow a predictable, step-by-step sequence have materialized.

Suddenly, the figure split in two.

The one on the left is tall and slender with a restrained figure. He stands there with his hands clasped in front of him, his fingertips slightly clenched, as if he is tense or enduring something.

The one on the right tilted his head slightly, one hand resting on his hip, his posture languid yet confident.

The figure on the left moved first. She walked up to Chu Nan, her steps slow, each one as if she were hesitant.

Only when she reached Chu Nan did she tiptoe and whisper in his ear.

Her breath brushed against Chu Nan's ear, as if shyly telling him something.

Immediately afterwards, the figure on the right also moved.

She walked towards Chu Nan without hesitation and immediately put her arm around his neck.

She pressed her body very close, and kissed him directly, her lips almost touching his.

Then, the two figures returned to their original positions, extended their hands, and each struck a pose that suited their own temperament.

It seemed as if they were waiting for Chu Nan to make a choice...
