Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Death That Passed by 3
Ning Xixi couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, "Move, I need to get out!"
"Old Ning! Look at your daughter!" Lu Qinghe raised her voice. Hearing the commotion, Ning Jingshen, who had been reading in the study, came out and frowned upon seeing Ning Xixi, "What happened?"
"Just now, people from the Ji Family sent her back, ah no, to call it ’sending’ is too polite—they tossed her back like she was nothing more than a rag or trash! Your precious daughter still insists on going out; where can she go? Isn’t she just going back to the Ji Family to embarrass herself?"
Her vivid description convinced Ning Jingshen of its veracity.
"Is it true that people from the Ji Family sent you back?"
"Yes... but that’s because..." Ning Xixi hurried to explain, but Ning Jingshen cut her off, "No more explanations! Go to your room and reflect on your actions!"
Lu Qinghe, feigning the role of a caring mother, took her by the shoulders, "I’ll take you to your room."
She forcefully pushed Ning Xixi into a guest room and swiftly locked the door.
"Let me out! Lu Qinghe! Open this door!" The sounds of banging came from inside the door.
Lu Qinghe turned around and went back to Ning Jingshen to tattle, "I never expected Xixi to call me ’mom,’ but how could she call me by my name directly? Sigh..."
Ning Jingshen was soft-hearted and became even more infuriated upon hearing this, "The girl seriously lacks discipline!"
Lu Qinghe dabbed her eyes, sighing heavily, "It’s fine; she’s not my own flesh and blood. No matter how well I treat her, it makes no difference. She doesn’t have any affection for me. I might as well go to the hospital to check on Axiu..."
Ning Jingshen hurriedly said, "I’ll go with you!"
Lu Qinghe sneered inwardly.
With Ning Jingshen gone to the hospital, she had plenty of ways to keep him there.
As for Ning Xixi locked up in the room?
Heh, let her starve for a couple of days before dealing with her.
...
Inside the room, Ning Xixi continued to bang on the door until her voice grew hoarse, yet still, no one paid her any attention.
Feeling powerless, she slumped onto the wooden floor, hugging her knees, her eyes brimming with tears, stinging with the urge to cry.
She desperately held back, not allowing a single tear to fall.
"Dabai..."
Her calls grew weaker and weaker as her strength drained away...
She had checked the windows—there were burglar bars outside; there was no way she could jump down.
The door was locked and unbreakable.
Her cellphone was left in her school bag.
There were no means of communication in the room.
It was as if she was imprisoned in a world cut off from everything else.
Curled up into a ball, as soon as she closed her eyes, the image of Ji Yebai being shot surfaced in her mind.
The sound of a gunshot, blood flowing like a river!
"No! Ah..."
...
After two full days, Lu Qinghe finally returned home.
Upon opening the door, she immediately saw Ning Xixi lying on the floor, her face gaunt, eyes closed, unclear whether she was dead or alive.
She kicked Ning Xixi with the point of her high heel.
"Uh..."
Feeling the pain, Ning Xixi gradually opened her eyes.
Seeing Lu Qinghe, a glint of hope shone in her eyes.
"How is Ji Yebai?"
If the incident had blown up, it would have definitely hit the news; Lu Qinghe must know!
Lu Qinghe’s eyes and eyebrows couldn’t hide her glee, "He’s been shot; his life hangs in the balance."
Those eight words, like a heavy boulder, instantly crushed Ning Xixi.
"Do you want to see him?" Lu Qinghe’s voice was filled with a bewitching power, teasing as if playing with a pet, "Call me ’mom,’ and I’ll let you see him."
