Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law-Chapter 1166: Star-Crossed Lovers on the Run?

Bright morning, Nangong Qingcheng was attending a class at Binhai University.

Recently, she balanced both study and work every day, and had gotten used to this routine of school, company, and home.

Fortunately, she was accompanied by many sisters, so she didn't feel tired; instead, she was enjoying it and had a driving passion for striving.

What was more thrilling was that a new office building for Fengming was about to be finalized, and soon the entire company would relocate, truly upgrading to a big company, marking an early realization of one of her dreams.

By then, Fengming's development would be booming even more, and it would need to recruit more talents and manpower, thus she, as the female CEO, would be living up to her title.

As soon as she finished taking notes, the bell rang signaling the end of class, and suddenly Nangong Qingcheng's phone vibrated at the same time.

Is it Jiang Feng?

This made her heart skip a beat.

You know, now besides classes and work, only Jiang Feng could stir her heart's strings.

And comparatively, Jiang Feng was still the most important.

He had promised to come back today, and thinking about it made Nangong Qingcheng a little excited.

However, taking out her phone, she saw the caller ID and was slightly astonished because it wasn't Jiang Feng calling, but her second uncle Nangong Jinming, with whom she was increasingly at odds!

Even when they hadn't parted ways earlier, her second uncle rarely called her, so what's happening now?

"Qingcheng, who is it?"

Chu Feifei next to her glanced curiously and asked.

"My second uncle."

Nangong Qingcheng replied with a complex expression, "I'll step out to take it."

Then, she stood up and left the room.

Leaving Chu Feifei, Zhang Qinyao, and Liu Shiyuan looking at each other, somewhat bewildered too.

As good friends of Nangong Qingcheng, they were somewhat aware of her family matters.

She had occasionally complained that her second uncle and aunt didn't behave appropriately, lacking familial affection, so why call her now?

In the corridor, Nangong Qingcheng pressed the answer button, and Nangong Jinming immediately asked: "Qingcheng, where are you?"

"Second uncle, I'm at school. What's up?" Nangong Qingcheng heard the urgency in his tone but still responded.

"Jiang Feng isn't with you? That's good. Don't attend class; come to our home!"

Nangong Jinming clearly breathed a sigh of relief; knowing Jiang Feng wasn't there made it easier to proceed; otherwise, the first step of the plan wouldn't work.

"To your house?"

Nangong Qingcheng was even more surprised: "Just myself? Why?"

"Your aunt misses you, wants to see you."

"Aunt?"

Now isn't her aunt filled with hatred too, disliking her? Why suddenly miss her?

"In any case, don't ask, just come quickly. Second uncle won't harm you, right? Your aunt's mental state isn't good; you coming to comfort her is perfect."

After Nangong Jinming said this, he hung up the phone directly, disregarding any further words from Nangong Qingcheng.

Nangong Qingcheng stood there, still puzzled, uncertain.

"Qingcheng, what did your second uncle say to you?"

At this moment, Chu Feifei and the others also came out, and Zhang Qinyao asked.

"He said to go to their house immediately; my aunt's mental state isn't great and needs my comfort." Nangong Qingcheng recounted truthfully.

"But haven't your relations with your second uncle's house been ambiguous lately? Why are they seeking you again?" Zhang Qinyao also found this odd.

"I don't know."

After thinking it over, Nangong Qingcheng still said to the three: "Feifei, Qinyao, I won't attend the last class; please ask the teacher for leave on my behalf. I should go visit."

In the end, she was still soft-hearted; her second uncle and aunt may be unkind, but she couldn't be utterly indifferent.

Also, rare chances to mend family ties shouldn't be wasted; she didn't want things with her second uncle's family to turn hostile further, especially since Nangong Yan died so tragically, making them pitiful enough...

"Qingcheng, do you need us to accompany you?" Chu Feifei asked.

"No need!"

Nangong Qingcheng shook her head, "I don't think it's anything major; I'll be back soon."

It's not that she distrusts her three friends, but having them come along would expose her and Jiang Feng's relationship.

Then, she turned alone and left.

Chu Feifei and the three women exchanged glances, only to sigh helplessly and return to the classroom.

After all, no matter how suspicious they felt, they never expected that those two would harm Nangong Qingcheng!

Just a casual family chat, they better not meddle.

...

Nangong Qingcheng drove her car, accelerating all the way, reaching Guihua District.

It had been years since she had come here; ever since Jiang Feng became the live-in son-in-law and the whole family started looking down on him, she hadn't visited her second uncle's home.

Parking the car, Nangong Qingcheng eagerly went up and directly knocked on Nangong Jinming's door.

Soon someone came to open the door, and it was Nangong Jinming!

Nangong Jinming looked extremely complex, looking at Nangong Qingcheng, smiling insincerely, "Qingcheng, you're finally here!"

"Where's Aunt?" Nangong Qingcheng glanced inside and asked.

"In the bedroom, come in first."

Nangong Jinming first ushered Nangong Qingcheng in, then peeked outside to ensure no one followed, finally feeling at ease.

Nangong Qingcheng, seeing her second uncle's guilty demeanor, asked puzzledly, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing, just sit; your aunt will be out shortly—" Nangong Jinming forced a smile, inviting Nangong Qingcheng to sit down.

His unusual behavior made Nangong Qingcheng feel inexplicably uneasy, and she sat down properly, confusedly looking around the house.

Just then, the bedroom door opened!

Nangong Qingcheng initially thought Zhao Chunhua had come out and instinctively turned to look.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't Zhao Chunhua inside, but several unfamiliar people!

"Tsk tsk, so this is Jiang Feng's woman? Truly young and beautiful, that punk is lucky!"

The strange elder who had previously assaulted Zhao Chunhua looked Nangong Qingcheng up and down, his lips curling into a lustful smile.

Nangong Qingcheng immediately stood up, warily watching the five strange men approaching, then she looked at Nangong Jinming with disbelief in her eyes: "Uncle, what does this mean? Who are they?"

"Qingcheng, I, I..."

Nangong Jinming was ultimately somewhat guilty, unable to respond to Nangong Qingcheng's glaring eye.

He had ultimately used Nangong Qingcheng's kind heart to lure her into the Demon Cave!

"Humph, Nangong Qingcheng, finally your day comes!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

At this moment, Zhao Chunhua also emerged from the bedroom; her outfit still tattered, barely covering her body, yet her face showed deep malice: "Your cousin died, but you didn't even glance at the funeral, just protecting Jiang Feng wholeheartedly! Haha, now it's your turn! Today you die here too, with Jiang Feng, as a pair of doomed lovers!!"
