Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When they heard her ambiguous reply, Sun Lan and Tang Shan were a little disappointed while Elder Madam Tang was making calls to see if anyone she knew could help out .
"Xiao Xi, who did you call? Is the person even reliable or not?" Tang Shan asked .
"Hmm, it's my boyfriend . " Ning Xi did not bother hiding .
Sun Lan was a little shocked . "Ah, Xiao Xi, you have a boyfriend now? What does he do?"
"Business," replied Ning Xi tersely .
Elder Madam Tang, who had just finished making a call, had a clearly condescending smirk on her weathered face . "What can a businessman do? If you want to look for someone to help, you should get someone in the government! Don't just delay time and affect Xiao Nuo . . . "
Ning Xi did not retort back . She just listened quietly to Elder Madam Tang's acidic words .
The Tangs did not put much hope on Ning Xi's call, so they paced around like headless flies, thinking of various ways to resolve this dilemma .
Tang Nuo was pretty interested in this mysterious "brother-in-law" . He went up to Ning Xi and rattled off a few questions .
"Sis, do you really have a boyfriend already?"
"Why would I lie to you?!"
"Is he handsome? Compared to Bro Su . . . Uhh . . . No, wait, is he more handsome than Trash Su?"
"Duh, of course, he's more handsome than him!"
. . .
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening and the sky was turning dark . The Tang family was at their wit's end, and there was no news from Ning Xi's side either .
"Xiao Xi, has your boyfriend replied you?" Already at the end of her tether, Sun Lan could only place her last sliver of hope on Ning Xi .
Ning Xi shook her head . "Not yet . "
Even though there was no news from Lu Tingxiao, Ning Xi was not worried, so she did not call to rush him either .
How could she doubt her darling's capabilities?
"Oh . . . " Sun Lan instantly looked crushed .
Finally, the sky had turned completely dark .
Tang Shan could not sit still anymore . "Xiao Xi, still no news? Why don't you call and ask?"
"What's there to ask? Are you really counting on a lowly actress like her?" Elder Madam Tang was worried about her grandson's issue and was now filled with anger, her tone becoming increasingly hostile .
She did not care who Ning Xi was . She was just an ungrateful wretch who had leeched onto their Tang family for so many years!
In her ire, she muttered under her breath, "Daughters are money-losing propositions . There's no use raising them . They're just an irksome presence . . . "
Rat-a-tat!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door . It sounded exceptionally clear in the dead silence of the house .
"It's already so late . Who could it be?" Sun Lan peered outside .
"I'll go open it!" Tang Nuo exclaimed as he walked towards the door .
The door creaked as it opened . In the next second, Tang Nuo stood stupefied as he gaped at the tall figure standing before the door .
The man wore a well-tailored, gunmetal grey formal outfit with a dark patterned tie . He stood there akin to a refreshing breeze with his back against the night, brightening the dim, narrow, little house instantly . . .
The following words instantly crossed Tang Nuo's mind: "Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling" .
"You . . . You are . . . " Tang Nuo looked blankly at this handsome man with such an aristocratic aura and asked . Suddenly, his eyes lit up . "Are you . . . Are you my brother-in-law?"
When the man heard "brother-in-law", his cold eyes flickered as he skimmed the youth . "Are you Xiao Xi's brother, Tang Nuo?"
"Uhh, yes, I'm Tang Nuo!" Tang Nuo quickly nodded .
The man heard this and raised his hand .
This was precisely when Tang Nuo realized that there was a huge envelope in his hand, and he asked in confusion, "This is . . . ?"
The man directly delivered the envelope to his wife's younger brother before him . "A gift . "
"Ah?" Tang Nuo looked blankly at the man as he subconsciously took the envelope and was prepared to courteously reject it when he skimmed the words on the envelope . His expression changed instantly .
The envelope was clearly marked as an Imperial University stationery . With trepidation, he opened the envelope in a flurry to see its contents . It was an acceptance letter from Imperial University!
