Chapter 556: Worried About The Wife Being Alone
Hidden Marriage
If Ning Xi became the legitimate heir, thenâ¦
Ning Xueluo could not accept the thought of how she would live a life of poverty back in the poor village! Even if the Ning family kept her, she could not bear the thought of being under Ning Xi!
She was the Ning familyâs daughter and she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. There was no way she would allow this witch to take away all of that from her!
Thatâs right, she was the one and only daughter of the Ning family! Even bloodline could not change that!
Ning Xueluo took a deep breath to calm herself down, then she went up to Ning Xi and held her arms, saying in a trembling voice, "Sister, please donât leave, alright? Please donât be angry with Father and Mother! They have been preparing to announce your identity a long time ago, but you didnât want to come back and join the companyâ¦
"You can put all the blame on me, itâs all my fault, do whatever you want to me. If you really donât want to see me here, Iâll leave now! But please, sister, donât go!
"Even if you donât want to see us, think about Grandfather! Grandfather really missed you! At least take a bite of Grandfatherâs birthday cake! What could possibly make you miss Grandfatherâs birthday?"
Ning Xueluoâs words were phrased cleverly, indirectly blaming matters on Ning Xi, at the same time expressing her awkward position in the Ning family, and most importantly, showing how filial she was towards Grandfatherâ¦
Zhuang Lingyu felt sorry for her. "Xueluo, what are you talking about? Where are you going? You shouldnât be the one leaving!"
The elder looked much kinder now, seeing Ning Xueluo ask Ning Xi to stay as well. Of course, he would not chase Ning Xueluo away, so he went along with her. "Xiao Xi, it's such a rare occasion that youâre back. Stay for a while more, alright?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ning Xi looked at the elderâs eyes silently, and in the end, she nodded. "Okay."
It was already clear that she would disappoint him by never fulfilling his wish of giving birth to a great-grandchild for him.
It would be impossible for her to go back to the Ning family or to join the company, so she was not cruel enough to decline his simple request uppfront.
"Thatâs great! Come inside! Itâs cold outside!" The elder delightedly went back into the house with the help of Ning Tianxin and Ning Xi.
Ning Xueluo was left behind. She gave them a cold stare when she saw Ning Tianxin and Ning Xi helped Ning Zhiyuan back inside.
Seeing that the elder was settled, Zhuang Lingyu let out a sigh of relief. She walked up to Ning Xueluo kindly and held her hands apologetically. "Xueluo, it must be hard for you!"
No matter what happened at home, she was always mature and cared about everyoneâs feelings.
Ning Yaohua felt heartbroken for her as well. He sighed, "Xueluo, donât take it personally, your grandfather just missed Xiao Xi too much and was excited. He did not mean what he said, Iâm still in charge of the company right now, don't worry!"
"Thank you, Father, Motherâ¦I understand!"
â¦
After Grandfather had calmed down, Ning Xi sent Lu Tingxiao a message: [I need to stay here with my grandfather for a little while more. Will be late. Take Little Treasure back home first, Iâll pick him up from Platinum Palace later.]
Lu Tingxiaoâs face fell when he read her message in his office.
Lu Tingxiao understood that no matter how strong Ning Xi looked, she still had her soft spot, which was the Ning family.
He knew a thing or two about what had happened to her in the Ning familyâ¦
Although Ning Xi sounded casual in the text message, how could he be not worried about leaving her alone at that place?
