Nan Xing had always been a sprightly man. But, he seemed to be dejected after the fight he had with Nan Chen.

Truth be told, Nan Chen had always been strict with his brother. He set high standards for him because he had high hopes for him.

Although the bar was higher than the ones for the management level’s employees, Nan Xing knew it was for his sake.

Hence, he had never once blamed Nan Chen. However, he couldn’t take it because Nan Chen thought he should be blamed for the mess that had occurred in Vietnam.

Nan Xing wasn’t a fool either. He knew he had been used as a comparison to Nan Chen all along.

Although they resembled one another in terms of look, Nan Xing was aware that he wasn’t a match for Nan Chen in any aspect.

Nevertheless, Nan Xing was never jealous of his brother, despite being inferior to him.

He didn’t mind being the inferior one amongst his siblings. In fact, he had always been proud of his brother for his exceptional achievements in everything he did.

Even though he had never enjoyed dealing with the tasks that had been assigned, he tried his best to execute them so he could be of aid to Nan Chen.

He was dejected because Nan Chen suspected him since the project fell apart. His brother had implied he was the one behind the downfall because he seemed to have an ulterior goal.

He was very hurt.

Ning Ran did an outstanding job, playing the role of a listener as she sat by Nan Xing’s side silently, while the man told her everything he had been keeping to himself.

She couldn’t fathom the commercial aspects of the project Nan Xing had brought up in front of her due to its complex nature, yet she thought something seemed to be odd about the entire incident.

As soon as Nan Xing finished his orated speech, he turned around and stared at Ning Ran with a pitiable front. “What should I do to earn Chen’s trust again?”

Ning Ran nodded and stated, “Thanks for this information with me. It means a lot to me because it shows that you think that I’m a trustworthy friend of yours.”

“Huh? What are you talking about? You’re not a friend of mine because you’re a freaking family member of mine, okay?” Nan Xing corrected Ning Ran.

“Alright. If that’s the case, I’m going to tell you my point of view. Actually, I think something’s wrong.”
