She—the hidden heiress of the Shen family, had long resided abroad with her aunt.
He—the sole heir of the Ning family, burdened with heavy responsibilities yet indulging in endless play, ...
Hearing this, Ning Changyuan couldn't bear it anymore. His eyes were filled with anger. He stood up suddenly and slammed the table with chopsticks in his hand.
"You!!! Get out of here!!!"
Ning Yifan really takes after Ning Changyuan, both in temperament and appearance.
"Stop talking!" Zhang Wan saw that the two of them were arguing again, so she turned around and glared at Ning Changyuan, signaling him to stop.
"Yifan, be good and stop talking. Sit down and eat." Zhang Wan quickly stood up to comfort Ning Yifan, fearing that he would leave again in anger.
Ning Yifan lowered his head and shrugged: "I used to be very obedient and well-behaved. Don't you know why I became like this?"
Hearing this, Zhang Wan's hand on Ning Yifan's arm froze, and she was shocked, then looked embarrassed and at a loss.
Ning Yifan ignored the two of them and turned away.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, closed his eyes, and calmed himself down: "If you had considered my feelings a little bit before doing things, you wouldn't be like this now."
After saying that, he didn't look back to see their reaction, nor did he wait for their answer and just left.
"Yifan, don't go. You haven't eaten the mooncakes that mom made yourself yet."
Zhang Wan looked at the departing figure, tears welling up in her eyes.
He was in a bad mood and was driving around on the road. When he passed a building, he saw a lot of people gathered downstairs and a police car. Curiosity made him stop.
After the police dispersed the crowd, he saw two people who had died in tragic ways. His eyesight was excellent and he could see the scene clearly even from hundreds of meters away.
It looks like they were a couple, and the cause of death was probably jumping from a building.
He sighed. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Lights are bright everywhere and families are having fun. How could he be so depressed as to jump off the building?
He looked up at the building, on which hung the four large characters "Shen Group". It looked quite tall, probably with more than thirty floors.
If I jump off the rooftop...
He frowned in pity and didn't dare to think further, it was too bloody. Before leaving, he glanced over there and saw two faces with eyes wide open rushing towards him. He was suddenly frightened and drove away immediately.
The next day, the news that the chairman of Shen Group and his wife both committed suicide by jumping off a building had become a hot topic in the city and became known to everyone after fermenting overnight.
Ning Changyuan's secretary Xiao Zhao showed him the video recorded last night and reported the news to him.
Upon hearing the news, he pursed his thin lips, then curled up the corners of his mouth, and half-closed his sharp eyes.
He adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, leaned lazily on the back of the chair and couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Huh... Shen Tiancheng, look at you, aren't you asking for this? You dare to fight me... Haha..."
Then there was a burst of crazy and evil laughter, as if congratulating himself for his hard-earned victory, looking like a villain who had succeeded.
Then, there was a sudden "clang" sound, and his originally open hands suddenly clenched into fists, slamming them hard against his desk. His eyes became sharp, and he said viciously: "If you go against me, you will die!"
This sentence seemed to be a warning to someone. His expression at the moment was particularly terrifying, his eyes were like sharp blades, and a glance at him seemed to pierce into the bone marrow, making people shudder and tremble with fear.
Even Secretary Zhao, who had followed him for so many years, was frightened by his sudden action and his glasses almost fell off in shock.
Although he knew Ning Changyuan better than anyone else and knew what kind of person he was, today was the first time he saw him so terrifying, with his insidious and cunning nature fully revealed without any concealment.
Although he is nearly fifty years old, he does not have the kindness that a man of his age should have. However, the hostility in his eyes has not disappeared as he grows older, and he is still as conceited and arrogant as ever.
Then, he waved his hand and asked Secretary Zhao to go out. After he left, the arrogant Ning Changyuan suddenly lost his energy and became listless, with loneliness in his eyes.
He took out a photo from the bottom drawer of his desk. The photo was slightly yellowed and looked quite old.
The photo above shows a girl wearing a burgundy dress with two pigtails. She is standing in a sea of sunflowers and laughing freely. Ning Changyuan took off his glasses dejectedly, stared at the photo infatuatedly, and actually smiled.
He gently stroked the person on the picture with his hand. From his cold eyes, hot tears flowed and fell down his chin onto the photo. He carefully held the photo with his thick hands and placed it on his chest. He closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair, murmuring non-stop: "Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing... Why, why..."
The bankruptcy of the Shen Group and the suicide of the Shen couple are no trivial matters. Although the police have tried their best to suppress this matter, it still attracted the attention of major media newspapers. Being noticed by them is not a good thing. In order to gain more attention, they have spared no effort to report this matter, such as "The Shen Group is bankrupt" and "The Shen couple committed suicide by jumping off the building due to bankruptcy" and so on. Various news reports.
Fortunately, the Shen family never publicly revealed the identities of their female members, so Shen Tiancheng protected his daughter very well. Apart from his wife, He Xiaoqing, who was publicly visible, his daughter and sister had never appeared in public. No one even knew that Shen Tiancheng had a daughter. She had been placed with Shen Tiancheng's sister, Shen Lu, since birth, and had lived with Shen Lu in the United States. He knew that the grudges between wealthy families were deep, and this was the best way to protect her.
So, everyone thought he had no children.
