Capítulo 1473: Chapter 309: You Are My Goddess
The faces of Old Master Nan and Nan Tian turned pale; their complexion, already slightly worse due to poisoning, became even more unsightly.
“Little girl, can’t even you treat Nan Yang’s injuries?” Old Master Nan asked again, unwilling to give up.
“Nan Yang was shot three times in total. The first two bullets were severe but not fatal. What truly threatens his life is the last bullet, which directly hit his heart. I need to carefully examine the bullet’s position now. Old Master, quickly prepare an operating room for me; I need to perform surgery on Nan Yang immediately!”
Old Master Nan agreed immediately; his body couldn’t move, so he could only strain his voice to call and make arrangements. For a moment, the banquet hall was bustling, with cries echoing everywhere.
After a long commotion, under An Yiqing’s guidance, everyone’s poison was finally cured, and they left the Nan Family with pale faces.
Old Master Nan wasn’t in the mood to entertain guests now, so he handed all these matters over to Nan Tian to resolve. He followed An Yiqing and stayed at the door of the operating room.
After sending off the last guest, Nan Tian looked at the quiet hall and let out a deep sigh of relief. She twisted her ankle, aching from too much walking, intending to go to the operating room to accompany Old Master Nan.
However, some people never miss such a good opportunity to attack Nan Tian.
“Xiao Tian, it was really hard work just now! You haven’t done these things for so many years; was it a bit strenuous?”
Nan Tian’s steps paused, rolling her eyes hard, raising her eyebrows as she turned to look at the person behind her.
It was Nan Tong’s mother, the Third Madam of the Nan Family.
“Third Aunt, it seems poisoning didn’t affect you much. You still have energy left after all this trouble to care about me. Since that’s the case, how about you helping me with the work Grandpa entrusted to me?”
The Third Madam’s smile froze, looking at Nan Tian’s sarcastically smiling face. Her eyes showed deep unwillingness and resentment. Little fox spirit! No idea what means she used to enchant the Old Master, making him hand the bracelet representing the family’s heir to her!
Cursing in her heart, the Third Madam’s face still wore a gentle smile: “Oh Xiao Tian, look at what you’re saying. How could Third Aunt have such outstanding ability! But it was indeed dangerous this time; if Nan Yang hadn’t blocked a shot for the Old Master, our entire Nan Family would be finished. Sigh! Look at Nan Yang, usually silent, but this time really made a big contribution! You see, the Old Master is so heartbroken, he’d gladly trade the entire Nan Family for Nan Yang’s life! I think if Nan Yang can be saved, the Old Master might even… ”
The Third Madam suddenly realized her words were inappropriate, quickly covering her mouth, cautiously glancing at Nan Tian with an awkward smile: “Oh, look at my foolish mouth, Xiao Tian, don’t mind your Aunt’s words! The Old Master cherishes and pampers you so much; the position of Family Head will be yours sooner or later! Carry on, I’m leaving now!”
Having said that, seemingly realizing she said something she shouldn’t have, the Third Madam awkwardly smiled and left hurriedly.
Nan Tian didn’t speak. She watched the back of the departing Third Madam for a long time, smiling coldly.
She wasn’t unaware of what thoughts this woman harbored; it was nothing more than trying to stir trouble between her and Nan Yang. It used to be okay when Nan Yang wasn’t favored; no one felt threatened when she was close to him. But now it’s different; the Old Master clearly regards Nan Yang as the most important person, possibly even the future Family Head. Such a thing would never be allowed by the people of the Nan Family, who naturally would do vile things to sow discord.
Nan Tian sneered. But this group forgot, not everyone wants the Family Head position. She doesn’t want it, and Nan Yang doesn’t want it either. To them, some things are more important than power and status.
When Nan Tian arrived at the operating room, Old Master Nan was sitting gloomily on the sofa, his anxious gaze fixed intensely on the operating room door. Boss Nan was silently sitting on another sofa, his face showing no emotion. Next to him was the Madam of the Nan Family, who was holding a string of prayer beads, muttering something with her head bowed as she always believed in Buddhism. Nan Yang’s half-sister stood by the operating room door, her head bowed, face showing unclear emotions.
Nan Tian’s arrival brought a moment of tension relief to the few people, who then returned their attention immediately to the operating room.
