âYou... should keep an eye on your son. Murong Ze pointed at Murong Cheng. âItâs all because of that scoundrel, Nian Qingyun.
âWatch your words. Murong Ze rubbed her eyebrows. âWhy did you bring her here?
Nian Junting chuckled, looking at Tang Ning. âTell them the about rumors that you spread in school.
Tang Ning was trembling in fear at the sight of his cold, unforgiving gaze. âI was speaking... the truth.
âYes, it was the truth, but we havenât heard it. Speak, Nian Junting said, tapping his fingers on the chair.
Tang Ning blinked as her heart filled with a mysterious suspicion. She said, âI said regarding the accident at Chuenâs party, that Luo Sang wanted to sue the event company that built the stage. The Ye family wanted to settle it peacefully. After all, the accident happened at their place, so they willingly forked over $2,000,000 as compensation, but Luo Sang was unwilling to accept that. She pressured... Mr. Nian to take Ye Chuen bungee jumping, resulting in her nearly ending up in the hospital...
Finishing her sentence, she noticed that everyone in the living room had fallen silent. She blinked uncomfortably, saying, âI was only speaking the truth. I did not make up any facts.
Yu Wen looked upset. She remained silent.
Murong Cheng asked, âDid anyone tell you about this, or did you come up with this story on your own?
Tang Ning shook her head. âWhy would I? Chuen told me about this herself.
Nian Junting chuckled. âGrandpa, Grandma, you heard it yourselves. Outsiders may not know about this, but you know the truth. Otherwise... why would Grandpa personally go to the police station to close the case regarding what happened that night?
Murong Zeâs face turned ashen. He looked at Tang Ning and said, âLu Kang, this person, take her back where she came from.
âWhy are you all like this? Tang Ning felt that something was amiss. âDid Chuen lie to me?
âYes, she did. Youâve been used like a tool. Nian Junting raised his chin pridefully, with a cold look on his face. âIf Luo Sang had not taught you a lesson earlier, I would have done so myself. Stay away from Chuen from now on. If you dare craft such rumors in school again, Iâll have you expelled. If you dare reveal her true identity, Iâll make sure that no one will ever know where to find you again. Iâll crush you like an ant.
Tang Ning looked at Yu Wen, but Yu Wen looked away. She had helped her earlier, but now she did not utter a single word.
Murong Cheng blew at the cup of tea in his hands. âYouâre still young. Donât ruin your future because of a stranger.
Tang Ningâs heart sank. She could only nod in fear.
After Lu Kang had Tang Ning taken away, the atmosphere fell silent for several moments. Nian Junting spoke again, âI could have sought trouble with Ye Chuen, but after careful consideration, I thought that to spare a thought for you two, it would be better to bring Tang Ning here, so that you can understand what kind of person Ye Chuen is. Grandma, you canât shelter her so unreasonably, right?
Yu Wen appeared uncomfortable. âChuen was wrong in this instance, but it might have been because you took her bungee jumping. She could not retaliate against you, nor was she able to swallow her pride, leaving her with no choice but to lie about Luo Sang to Tang Ning.
âYes, thatâs why she deserves to be bullied. From what I recall, it was Ye Chuenâs fault from the very beginning, after all. Nian Juntingâs face slowly relaxed. âGrandma, if you really choose to be this unreasonable, then you can just take it that you no longer have me as a grandson. You can keep Ye Chuen as your precious granddaughter. Finishing his sentence, he got to his feet.
Yu Wen panicked. âBut what Auntie Kang said couldnât have been untrue, right? Moreover, Luo Sangâs background is no fault of ours.
