Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived-Chapter 536 - 537: Nangong Feifei’s Statement

Of course, Nangong Feifei had simplified the account of the events, believing that Nangong He and Nangong Mingchuan would not be suspicious of her.

Indeed, for Nangong He, it was completely normal for his granddaughter, in a bad mood and with a bad temper, to scold the maid who had caused her belongings to end up in the swimming pool.

At that moment, Nangong Feifei raised her eyes again, looking at Nangong He and Nangong Mingchuan with a face full of grievance.

"Grandfather, you know I have a bad temper. That necklace was brought from Europe by a friend for me. I just got it today and hadn’t even had a chance to look at it before it ended up in the swimming pool. I only said a few words to her, and maybe she got scared, then suddenly she rushed to the swimming pool, saying she would retrieve it for me."

Upon hearing this, Nangong He indeed did not perceive anything suspicious.

But hearing that the maid had entered the water just to retrieve her necklace, he inevitably frowned, "Feifei, it’s the dead of winter, how could you let Axiu go into the water to fetch your necklace? You know she could have easily drowned."

"I know, I tried to stop her immediately, but it was too late, Axiu had already jumped into the water and even found the necklace. But just as she was holding the necklace, smiling and telling me, she suddenly started struggling in the water. I was terrified, it was so cold, and I was too scared to go into the water to save her, so I went to call for help. By the time we got her out..." Nangong Feifei choked up, sniffing, her face full of sorrow, "the Doctor said she had already died..."

At this point, an older maid couldn’t help but speak up, "Yes, the young mistress even gave Axiu mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and urged us to call emergency services immediately, but when the Doctor arrived, it was too late..."

Axiu had been on good terms with the other maids and had been a good employee of the Nangong Family, so many of the maids were deeply grieved by her death.

Hearing his granddaughter’s words, Nangong He believed that Axiu’s death was undoubtedly an accident, but still couldn’t help but rebuke his granddaughter, "You say you were just looking at a necklace; couldn’t you have done that in your room? Why did you have to go out into the yard? Not to mention how cold it was, it also cost Axiu her life."

For aristocrats like them, the death of a maid didn’t really matter, yet he still reproached her for it.

Thinking of this, Nangong Feifei felt a surge of resentment.

She suddenly stood up from the sofa, "I wanted to look at it inside too! But none of you were home, in such a big house, just me alone. In your eyes, in your hearts, it’s only Xixi you care about! If you had cared about me even a little, I wouldn’t have possibly gone outside in the cold!"

After speaking, she turned around, her face full of grievance, and ran upstairs!

Hearing his granddaughter say this, Nangong He also couldn’t help but realize that maybe his words had been a bit harsh.

During this time, her mood had indeed been bad, and they had indeed left her alone at home, all going with Xixi.

But when they had left, he had called her too, yet she had chosen not to go.

Seeing how extremely aggrieved his granddaughter looked, Nangong He felt it was not appropriate to scold her any further, and ordered the maids and the bodyguards to bury Axiu properly.

Because of this incident, Nangong Mingchuan returned to the hospital only as it was getting dark.

Upon returning to the ward, his face was rather somber.

It wasn’t because of the maid, but because he knew that this maid had been very close to his wife.

"What’s wrong?"

Taking the charger from his hands, Tang Yuyan noticed his troubled expression and couldn’t help but ask him.
