Back in Flower City, Nan Zhengde was having some tea at Commoner Residence when Nan Zhiyuan and Bai Hua showed up.

“We're in trouble, Dad. Everyone's bashing Nan Chen and Nanshi Corporation online now! What are we going to do if this keeps up?” Nan Zhiyuan exclaimed.

The elderly man took a sip of his tea before glancing up at the couple. “Since when did you two ever care about Nanshi Corporation?”

“Dad, I know we had made some bad decisions in the past, but we've always thought of ourselves as part of the Nan family,” explained Nan Zhiyuan. “That's why it's only natural that we're concerned, right? We came here to ask you how to deal with this problem.”

“I'm already retired, and neither of you is part of the company. Don't you think it's strange for you to come over and talk about this? The public relations department will take care of everything, so what are you even worried about?” Nan Zhengde asked in return.

Nan Zhengde and Bai Hua exchanged glances, feeling at a loss due to the old man's frankness.

“Well, this may not be any of our business, Dad, but we're just showing our concern. You don't have to be so harsh,” Bai Hua insisted. “Besides, surely you can tell that it wasn't Nan Chen who stirred up all that ruckus. It was Nan Xing! Given Nan Chen's character, there's no way he'd ever get caught causing such a scene in public. Others may not be able to tell, but can't you? We just want to know why Nan Xing took Nan Chen's place and dealt with everything. Where did Nan Chen go? Did something happen to him?”

“Do you want something to happen to him?” Nan Zhengde countered.

“How could you assume that? Nan Chen's my son. I'd never wish anything bad upon him. I just want to know the truth and share the Nan family's burden.”

The old man scoffed. “You want to share the Nan family's burden? Ha! You're the burden here! How about you both get lost instead of muddying the waters?”

“Dad, we really just want to know what on earth happened. How could you say we're muddying the waters?” Nan Zhiyuan began to feel unhappy.
