Reborn as a Noble's Son

Hearing Yang Anna’s words, Nie Zhenbang furrowed his brows, but soon relaxed. Anna truly didn’t feel she was fit to be the official wife. This problem was not easily solved. However, Zhenbang didn’t mind, the affairs between the three women were always approached passively by him. The women themselves would have to resolve this.

Dong Wan was slightly shocked at this moment. The information revealed in Anna’s words was too much. This made Dong Wan also somewhat hesitant and worried. Previously, the three of them had agreed to let Anna be the openly acknowledged girlfriend. Now, Anna was willing to retreat behind the scenes, what to do now?

Li Lixue felt the least pressure. Through her many years at the palace, she clearly understood that she could never be the official wife due to her status and identity. However, her expression was a bit complicated. Looking at the smiling image of her mother-in-law on the tombstone, she felt a kinship. It seemed the deceased had a more tragic life than her. At least she could silently follow him, while the mother-in-law had not seen her beloved man until her death.

Nie Zhenbang stood up immediately, lowered his head with a somewhat heavy and depressed voice, “Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa, I will be back to see you next Qingming. We are leaving.”

Four of them walked out of the public cemetery. Unlike the heavy mood when they arrived, at this moment everyone was preoccupied, making the atmosphere a bit oppressive.

Seemingly unable to withstand the atmosphere, Yang Anna spoke up, “Brother Zhenbang, Sister Wan, Sister Li Xue, let’s go to the township, since we’re already in Yanbei, let’s go see Uncle Nie and Ziyu.”

This suggestion immediately received Dong Wan’s approval. On the contrary, Li Lixue was a bit worried at this moment. With Dong Wan and Yang Anna’s backgrounds, would she be kicked out if she went?

Seemingly feeling Li Lixue’s worry, Nie Zhenbang smiled and said, “Very well, let’s go see them together.”

The distance from Tang City to the township was farther than Tang City to Jingcheng—a distance of more than four hundred kilometers. At this time, the domestic highway system was just beginning to be built. The speed was not very fast all the way to the township by the national highway, averaging only around sixty kilometers per hour.

After having lunch on the way, it was nearly eight o’clock in the evening when they finally entered the urban area of the township.

Yanbei Province, residential area of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, the car paused at the entrance. After Nie Zhenbang had shown his special pass from the State Council, they smoothly entered the compound.

Nie Guowei’s residence was in Compound No.2. At this point, Nie Guowei, Ye Shuxian, and Nie Ziyu were all standing at the entrance, looking outside expectantly. Nie Zhenbang’s car stopped nearby, and the excited Nie Ziyu ran up immediately.

“Brother, I miss you so much!” Nie Ziyu seemed a bit bashful in this moment.

This made Nie Zhenbang’s oppressive mood better. He then smiled and said, “Ziyu, you’re so big but still so sticky. I don’t know if your future boyfriend can handle it. There are guests here, and Anna is also here, aren’t you scared of being laughed at?”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Nie Ziyu looked back and seeing Yang Anna’s smiling face she was very unsatisfied, and pouted, “Hmph! Yang Anna, you’re laughing at me again, do you still want to be my sister-in-law?”

Then, seeing Dong Wan beside her, Nie Ziyu’s eyes became as curved as crescents, she squinted and said, “Hi Sister Wan.”

“You child, you came to visit your mother’s grave. Why didn’t you tell us? Your father and I could’ve come with you.” Nie Zhenbang walked up, and Ye Shuxian also expressed her discontent.

Unlike in his past life, at this point, the elderlies in both families had passed away, the family circumstances had declined, and Nie Guowei remained at the deputy hall level without any changes. Ye Shuxian held a lot of resentment towards her disabled son.

But now, Elder Nie was still around, and her husband had become a department-level cadre. Nie Zhenbang was deemed as the successor of the Nie family. Everything was going smoothly, and Ye Shuxian treated Nie Zhenbang like her own son.

Nie Zhenbang laughed and said, “Mom, it was a sudden thought. Besides, the journey from Tang City to here is quite long, so we didn’t inform you.”

As for Nie Zhenbang bringing three girls home, Ye Shuxian and Nie Guowei didn’t say anything. Bei Zhenbang was trustworthy in his actions, so there were no worries.

The next morning, Nie Zhenbang got up early and performed a full set of Shape-Intent Fist. Nie Zhenbang also felt refreshed. Ever since he took over Lixian, his morning exercise had been completely neglected over the past few years.

At this point, Nie Ziyu was hopping cheerily out of the house. She saw Nie Zhenbang, and immediately came over. She naturally linked her arm with Nie Zhenbang, and cooed, “Brother… Will you go shopping with us today?”

Next to her, Yang Anna had a face full of anticipation. Dong Wan and Li Lixue were better, as they were relatively more mature compared to Yang Anna and Nie Ziyu. But even so, their eyes revealed a hint of anticipation. Reflecting on this, Nie Zhenbang felt somewhat embarrassed. Over these years, it seemed that he had barely accompanied these women on shopping trips. He supposed this could be considered negligence on his part.

Soon after, Nie Zhenbang smiled and nodded, “Sure. This is a good opportunity for us to observe the situation in the town.”

A group of people left the provincial government compound splendidly. In the bustling commercial area of the town, a massive six-story commercial building was highly conspicuous.

With a large blue sign board, Wal-Mart Shopping Plaza gave Nie Zhenbang and the others a familiar feeling. At this point, the Wal-Mart Group had been developing for close to eight years and was becoming increasingly mature in all aspects. Stepping into the Wal-Mart Shopping Plaza gave Nie Zhenbang a feeling of being back in the modern world. Inside the spacious hall, the human traffic was high, and the presence of many well-known international brands demonstrated the extraordinary status of Wal-Mart.

The group of five, four women and one man, were all tall. The women were either sexy and charming, gentle and quiet, or cute and naive. The man was both handsome and elegant, exuding a sense of calmness and generous demeanor. As soon as these people appeared, they immediately attracted a lot of attention in the mall.

At the entrance of the Chanel store, the women paused and looked at Nie Ziyu. Nie Zhenbang laughed and said, “Kid, did you see a dress you like? Go ahead and try it. I am treating everyone today.”

The dress Nie Ziyu took interest in was a newly released lady dress from Chanel’s spring collection. Its pink color was particularly beloved by young girls like Nie Ziyu.

When Nie Ziyu came out after changing into the dress, Li Lixue did not hesitate to shower her with compliments, smiling and saying, “Ziyu, the dress matches your temperament very well. Let’s get this dress.”

As she was speaking, Li Lixue turned to the saleswoman nearby, “Miss, could you please wrap it up for us?”

Without even asking for the price, she decided to purchase the dress. This boldness of Li Lixue was something the saleswoman had not seen before. However, given Li Lixue’s financial power, she wasn’t taking a stab in the dark. Li Lixue was the wealthiest among Nie Zhenbang’s women. It wouldn’t be a problem for her to buy not just a dress, but the entire shop.

As soon as Li Lixue finished speaking, a coy voice came from behind her, “Mr. Kang! I told you that such a beautiful dress would definitely be snapped up! You know Chanel dresses are never duplicated. Mr. Kang, I want it!”

The woman’s words triggered countless fantasies in Mr. Kang’s mind. Right then and there, in front of everyone, Mr. Kang laughed wickedly, “Little temptress, after pampering you last night, you’re asking for more already? You’re really testing my patience. Tonight, I’ll make sure you can’t even stand.”

His words caused Nie Zhenbang and the others to frown. This man was really inconsiderate of his surroundings, uttering such vulgar words in public.

But before Nie Zhenbang could say anything, the man spoke arrogantly, “Hey, girl, take off the dress right now. You’re just a pauper, this place isn’t where you should be shopping. Get out of here, quickly.”

Hearing these words, Nie Ziyu’s face fell instantly. The princess of the Nie Family had never been insulted like this before. Immediately, Nie Ziyu changed her demeanor, and imitating the young woman’s actions, she clung to Nie Zhenbang’s arm, cooing, “Brother, I want this dress. I don’t want anything else, just this one.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the other woman’s face changed and she raised her voice, “Little girl, who do you think you are, imitating me?”

Next to them, Mr. Kang had by now noted the appearance of Nie Ziyu and the others. Truth be told, the woman next to him was decent-looking. But compared to Nie Ziyu and the others, she was somewhat lacking.

Seeing Nie Ziyu behave this way, Mr. Kang knew Nie Ziyu was mocking his lady companion. However, as the saying goes, you must consider the dog’s master before dealing with the dog. Wasn’t she actually mocking him? Mr. Kang then chuckled awkwardly, “Miss, the man you’re with isn’t that great. Why not go with me? As long as you keep me company tonight, making me happy, not only will I buy you this dress, I’ll buy the entire shop for you.”

As soon as Nie Ziyu heard Mr. Kang’s words, she dashed over, lifted her leg, and kicked him hard. This move made Mr. Kang curl up on the floor. Nie Ziyu had struck extremely harshly. Although it was not so severe as to incapacitate him, he would certainly be in pain for a while.

At this point, Nie Ziyu even disdainfully said, “Humph, you dare to talk to me like that? This kick is just a light punishment. If you behave rudely again, it won’t be so light next time.”

Meanwhile, Mr. Kang was enraged and humiliated by the incident. A woman had dared to play him for a fool. Furious, he yelled without considering or discerning anything, “You whore, you dare to hit me? Do you know who my father is? He’s the mayor. Today, if I don’t handle you, then I, Yao Kang, will have no face to live in this town.”
