Chapter 593: Chapter 593: Giving You Face, Is That It?
Lu Qinghe was clearly bewildered!
Since their marriage, Ning Jingshen had always been good to her, coupled with his inherently mild temperament, they had never had a fight.
But today, he actually argued with her because of Ning Xixi?
"Old Ning! What you’re saying, about ’my son’ and ’your daughter’, we are still family, why so distant!"
This time, Ning Jingshen’s attitude was extraordinarily firm, "Xixi is my daughter, and honor and innocence are even more important for a girl! Regardless of who’s right or wrong between her and Axiu, as an elder, you should not have spoken about her like that!"
"And, what do you mean by ’sacrificing her innocence is not worth it’? Although my daughter is somewhat rebellious, in my heart, she is as important as Axiu! They are equally important! Even after my death, the business I fought for will be evenly split between them!"
For a moment, everyone in the room was somewhat slow to react.
Lu Qinghe’s heart was filled with immense hatred, indeed, despite all the slander she had thrown at Ning Xixi, in Ning Jingshen’s heart, she was still his daughter!
Equal division of the family business? What a joke!
Luckily, she had been prudent and had Ning Xixi sign a renunciation of inheritance rights early on.
Thinking of this, Lu Qinghe couldn’t help but feel confident, showing a guilty appearance, "Old Ning, I was just blinded by anger, you know my blunt nature! Don’t overthink it, since Axiu has admitted his mistake, let’s just drop the matter..."
Just drop it? Hah, she wanted to drop it, but Ji Yebai certainly didn’t plan to!
"Do you think I, Ji Yebai, am dead? To insult my woman in front of me and then say drop it?" Ji Yebai looked around coldly with a voice devoid of warmth.
His aura, domineering and overwhelming, swept through the room.
Lu Qinghe boldly said, "Mr. Ji, this is our family matter, it’s not your place to interfere!"
"You don’t qualify as Ning Xixi’s family! Don’t attribute a false glory to yourself, it’s disgusting!"
Ji Yebai, known for his bad temper and cutting words, was fully confrontational today, leaving no room for Lu Qinghe to save face, causing her to be unable to swallow her pride, "I am her stepmother in the legal sense, it’s not for you to decide whether I’m qualified or not!"
Ji Yebai smirked coldly, "Are you forgetting your place? Don’t forget, Ning Xixi is my woman, Ji Yebai’s woman!"
He paused, then added, "And, she is also the Song Family’s granddaughter!"
Mentioning the Song Family, Lu Qinghe wisely shut her mouth.
"This matter can’t just be dropped!" Ning Jingshen looked at Gong Xiu, "I will enforce the family law, any objections?"
Gong Xiu straightened his backbone, "No."
Lu Qinghe’s face changed suddenly; how did it end up with her son being the one to get beaten?
The Ning Family’s family law was an ancestral redwood walking stick.
Ning Jingshen picked up the walking stick and swung it hard across Gong Xiu’s back!
"Stop hitting... Old Ning, go easy..." Lu Qinghe was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, inadvertently meeting Gong Xiu’s eyes, she was momentarily stunned.
Such eyes...
Disappointment, pain, reluctance, endurance...
Her heart skipped a beat.
He knew! Realized there was something wrong with that juice! Knew this was a setup for Ning Xixi!
Ji Yebai, looking rather uninterested, said, "Mr. Ning, continue at your own pace, I’m taking Ning Xixi home for dinner."
He picked up Ning Xixi and headed towards the door, Ning Jingshen suddenly called out to him...
To be precise, he called out to Ning Xixi.
"Xixi, I have a few words I want to say to you..."
