During the argument, Ji Yebai pushed the door open and walked in.
Ning Xixi blinked at Ji Yebai, "Dabai, this contract, will you sign it for me, please~"
Understanding the situation, Ji Yebai feigned pondering for a moment, then sneered, "Xixi, are you with me just for the benefits?"
"Yeah, what else could it be? True love??"
The two played off each other, leaving Ning Jingshen and Lu Qinghe utterly bewildered!
What was going on here?
"If you don’t love me, why should I sign this contract!" Ji Yebai slammed his hand down on the table with a smack, his presence commanding, as the dishes on the table shook.
Ning Jingshen became anxious, "Ji Yebai, that’s not fair! Xixi has been close to you since childhood, with deep feelings. Even if there’s no love, at least... there is friendship, isn’t there? And affection, right? With these feelings alone, what’s wrong with signing a contract?"
"Uncle, is my relationship with her really worth ten billion?" Ji Yebai clutched his chest, his handsome face full of surprise.
Lu Qinghe chimed in, "How can it not be worth it! True love is priceless!"
Ning Xixi had been waiting for just this line, her lips curving into a slight arc, "Eh? I seem to recall someone just the other day despairingly advising me to leave Ji Yebai, so as not to drag down the Ning Family and the Lu Family. Could I have remembered it wrong?"
Ning Jingshen: "..."
Lu Qinghe: "..."
Ji Yebai put on a just-informed expression, "Erxi, they actually forced you to leave me?"
"Yeah!" Ning Xixi nodded her head.
"With such family members, if we don’t sever ties, what are we saving them for, the New Year?" Ji Yebai’s smile faded, his expression becoming cold and forbidding, a chilling aura swirling around him.
Even though Ning Xixi had already mentioned once that her family pressured her to study abroad and stay away from him, hearing it again made him furious!
What enraged him wasn’t the separation, but the fact that the Ning Family didn’t consider Ning Xixi a person at all!
They desired a commodity to be traded for the benefit of the family’s wealth, not a smart, cute, and well-behaved daughter!
Ning Jingshen and Lu Qinghe finally realized that they were being played by these two!
Damn it, they were nearly a hundred years old combined, and yet two youngsters had outsmarted them!
"Ten billion is just a trifle to the Ji Family!" Ning Jingshen raised his chin, "As long as you agree to sign this document, I will consent to Xixi marrying you!"
"Wow, so I’m worth ten billion, huh." Ning Xixi’s smile was full of sarcasm.
Lu Qinghe accused, "Xixi, at a time like this, you’re still speaking in such a sarcastic tone! Your father wouldn’t be begging Ji Yebai if he wasn’t desperate. You won’t even help him, and instead, side with someone outside the family!"
"A married daughter is like spilled water!" Ning Jingshen lamented with pounding on his chest, appearing deeply upset.
"Think about all that the Ning Family has given you over the years, the best schools you attended, the most expensive clothes and jewelry you wore. Think of your mother, if the Ning Company fails, could she rest in peace in heaven?"
The mother was Ning Xixi’s Achilles heel.
She put away her smile, a frost gathering in her eyes.
"You have no right to mention my mother! You’re not worthy! But—you did remind me." Ning Xixi held a cool smile, "When my mother married Mr. Ning, she didn’t come empty-handed... The Ning Company has fifty percent of her shares, which were her investment, part of her premarital assets..."
