Chapter 508: Chapter 508 I Regretted It 1
Ning Xixi felt that the man before her was so unfamiliar.
He was no longer the clear-cut and gentle Ning Jingshen from her childhood; who used to hold her and Song Weiyang, calling out to her with a smile as "Baby".
Or perhaps, is this the real him now?
With that thought, Ning Xixi felt a chill run through her body.
If the marriage between Ning Jingshen and Song Weiyang was also a long-premeditated plan...?
"Xixi, you’re not a child anymore, you need to learn to understand your father. He has raised you since you were little, and all the material life you enjoy is provided by him. Now, all you need do is sacrifice a little for yourself, to fulfill your father’s career, is that really something you can’t do?" Lu Qinghe chastised her with a righteous look.
Ning Xixi, exhausted, lowered her eyelids, "Have you raised me? — Leaving your young and sick daughter in the hospital, absent from all her growth, never inquiring all these years, is that what you call raising? Then I’d rather not be your daughter, I don’t need you to raise me!"
These words struck right at Ning Jingshen’s sore spot. He slapped his palm on the bedside table, making a thunderous noise, "Irrational! Utterly preposterous! I think it’s better if you don’t stay in the country. Qinghe, arrange for someone to send her abroad to study! Get her out of my sight; it irritates me to look at her!"
This girl, completely disobedient to him, staying abroad and being involved with that Ji Family lad is not good for his business.
Better to send her abroad to waste a few years, let her suffer, and then she’ll know who in the world treats her the best — her father!
Lu Qinghe hypocritically comforted Ning Jingshen for a bit, then the LCD TV in the hospital room suddenly broadcast a piece of news —
"Next, we have a breaking news report: A warehouse of TN, a subsidiary of Ji Group, has caught fire, resulting in 7 deaths and hundreds of injuries. It is reported that the fire was caused by the use of materials that failed quality inspections..."
Ning Jingshen pointed at the TV, "Look at this, what goes around comes around, let’s see who will be spared! The Ji Family has been glorious for generations, but all things come to an end, and many are waiting to bring them down. I tell you, the Ji Family is finished!"
"Xixi, don’t be so shortsighted. You’re still young, in the future, you can marry someone who is more outstanding than Ji Yebai, with a better family background," Lu Qinghe said, pretending to consider her best interest, yet the mockery in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Ning Xixi clenched her fists, "I believe that the Ji Family will handle this matter well!"
She didn’t believe that Ji Group would use materials that failed quality inspections!
Lu Qinghe rolled her eyes and looked up at the TV, with even more of a smile at the corner of her lips.
The TV switched to the engagement banquet scene at Canglan Hotel, with media and reporters swarming the place; the camera panned to the Ji family members, each wearing a grave expression.
A reporter, fearlessly putting a microphone to Ji Yebai’s mouth, asked, "Young Master Ji, why isn’t your fiancée here? Is it because she ran away upon learning about the turbulence in Ji Group?"
Ning Xixi felt her heart wrench. If she had a choice, she would definitely be there, standing by his side!
Ji Yebai, whose handsome face with smooth lines was tense, slowly enunciated, "What fiancée? Today’s engagement — it’s been canceled."
"Eh? Why?" The scene erupted into commotion, "Weren’t you going to marry the Ning family’s daughter, Ning Xixi?"
Ji Yebai’s thin lips were pressed into a straight line, his tone icy, "Not her, she and I are not related — not at all."
