Chapter 144: Chapter 144: You Got It Wrong

Su Zixi looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared, her face still very pale.

“It was me,” Ning Ruixin said with a lazy smile. “Sorry, my people didn’t hurt you, did they? I’m in the military, so I couldn’t go myself and sent them instead. They’re all rough folks, if they offended you, please don’t take it to heart.”

Ning Yichen was shocked. “Sister, it was you?”

“What did you think?” Ning Ruixin glanced at him. “Yesterday, when you told Mom you were bringing a woman home, she asked me to check her out. The daughter of the Su family, who looked after you for three years. So, I brought her here. Aren’t you going to thank me?”

Ning Yichen’s face stiffened!

So… it was all a misunderstanding?

He laughed bitterly, helplessly rubbed his forehead: “Sis, you’ve made a mistake.”

“Oh, I made a mistake?” Ning Ruixin raised her eyebrows, giving Su Zixi a meaningful look.

Su Zixi met her apparently significant gaze, and suddenly felt a jolt in her heart. She avoided Ning Ruixin’s eyes, coldly saying, “That’s right, you made a mistake! The person who saved Mr. Ning is my sister Su Lianxi, so now you can let me go, can’t you?”

Ning Ruixin raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

Ning Yichen suddenly frowned. “Sis, I haven’t been able to contact Lianxi; where did you take her?”

“She’s not dead, what are you worried about? My people told me they’re packing up, seeming ready to come seek refuge with you,” Ning Ruixin said nonchalantly.

Ning Yichen was speechless and straightened his jacket: “I’ll go back to Yanzhou City to pick them up.”

Ning Ruixin held out her hand to stop him. “Forget it, I’ll have my people bring them here. You don’t need to rush off; there are still some things that aren’t clear.”

“Like what?” Ning Yichen frowned.

“Since I made a mistake, that means this young lady…” Ning Ruixin pointed at Su Zixi, “she has nothing to do with you, right? What were you just about to do? Yichen, our family does not condone playing both sides.”

She patted Ning Yichen meaningfully on the shoulder.

Ning Yichen looked a bit flustered. At that moment, he had indeed entertained some unsavory thoughts. Faced with his sister’s piercing gaze, he found himself at a loss for words.

“Mr. Ning has some misunderstandings about me, it’s not what you think.” Su Zixi’s cold voice suddenly rang out. “Since it’s a misunderstanding, I can leave now, can’t I, Mr. Ning, Miss Ning?”

Su Zixi had stood up at some point, her gaze cold as she looked at them.

“He Jingyao is what to you?” Ning Ruixin suddenly asked with a smile.

Su Zixi’s expression changed slightly: “He’s my husband!”@@novelbin@@

“Oh, no wonder…” Ning Ruixin looked at her deeply, as if assessing something. “I just got the news; he has arrived in Yangdong City. It seems he’s here to find you… Although this is a misunderstanding, I’m sorry, you can’t leave just yet.”

Su Zixi turned pale: “What are you going to do?”

“Who asked your husband to be so wealthy.” Ning Ruixin spread her hands helplessly. “Don’t worry, I dare not offend him. I just want to use this opportunity to discuss some matters with him. If you were not in my custody, he probably wouldn’t have the patience to talk to me.”

“You…” Su Zixi glared at her, suddenly regretting deeply that she had saved Ning Yichen before.

If she hadn’t meddled in business that wasn’t hers, she wouldn’t have attracted the attention of the Ning Family, nor would there have been today’s misunderstanding, and she wouldn’t have implicated He Jingyao!

She was both angry and guilty, turning her head away fiercely, refusing to look at the siblings.
