I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With

Chapter 647: Severing Ties

Ning Jingshen’s face reddened with anger, and Lu Qinghe, upon seeing this, interjected, "You can’t speak like that. How much trouble has Xixi caused for old Ning? Rebellious and thoughtless, what’s the use of having such a daughter?"

Ji Dad sharply retorted, "Sorry, the Xixi we know is a kind and well-behaved girl who has never caused any trouble. Even if she did, our Ji Family has the ability to handle it, unlike some who can only shirk their responsibilities when confronted with problems."

"I really underestimated the thickness of your and your husband’s faces!" Ji Mom angrily pointed at Ning and Lu, "A daughter is to be cherished, not exploited! I really feel sorry for Weiyang, to be married to someone as heartless and ungrateful as you!"

As the argument between the two sides heated up, Ji Dad caught a glimpse of the doorway from the corner of his eye and suddenly froze, "Yebai, Xixi...when did you two come back?"

The other three turned their heads abruptly, their expressions varying and complex.

Ji Yebai was surrounded by a cold aura, his narrow eyes shooting sharp, knife-like glances, his presence commanding without showing anger.

Ning Jingshen felt uncomfortable under his gaze and averted his eyes.

A soft and sweet voice rang out, "Do you want to sever ties with me?"

Ning Jingshen coldly replied, "Xixi, you forced my hand!"

Ning Xixi chuckled sadly, "What did I force you to do?"

Though she was laughing, there was a twinkle of tears in her eyes.

"Is it you who put pressure on my company through your maternal grandfather’s family? That is the work of my lifetime, not a place for your whimsical tantrums! We sever our ties; you be the Song Group heiress, and stop troubling my company!"

Mixed emotions tangled in her heart—sourness, bitterness, coldness... Ning Xixi trembled as she asked, "Do you really have to be so ruthless?"

Must it go this far?

Just because she’s not his biological daughter?

So, she doesn’t get the shares, and he even wants to sever ties with her!

Are all the years she called him "Dad" worthless?

Ning Jingshen struggled for a few seconds, after all, he had coddled Ning Xixi, and there was still some affection.

But then... thinking of the paternity test, and the enormous cuckoldry Song Weiyang had placed upon him, Ning Jingshen’s voice hardened, "Sign this disownment paper!"

Ning Xixi met his gaze, their eyes intersecting in the air, decades of affection undone by a sudden change.

A smile bloomed on her crimson lips.

Step by step, each felt like a knife cut, sobbing with blood.

Ning Xixi picked up the pen and extravagantly signed her name.

Ning Jingshen picked it up, satisfied, only to hear Ning Xixi’s words—

"From now on, we owe each other nothing, no more ties."

Ning Jingshen snorted coldly, "That’s for the best! Don’t go back on your word! Don’t let the Song Family cause me any more trouble! Qinghe, let’s go."

Lu Qinghe hypocritically offered a few pleasantries and, beaming with joy, looped her arm through his and left.

Without the Song Family, she no longer had to hold back.

The Nings would be hers eventually!

...

After Ning Jingshen and his wife left, Ning Xixi seemed to have lost all her strength and slumped powerlessly to the floor.

Ji Mom hugged her with heartache, "Xixi! We don’t need a dad like that! From now on, I am your mom, and Yebai’s dad is your dad!"

Ning Xixi’s tears crashed down as she choked up, "I will... take back everything that’s mine."

She would not let them off easy!!

Respectable by day, beastly by night!

After many nights, Xia Qingcheng, holding her waist in anger, cursed—damn it, someone needs to take care of this beast!
