That's a very good point.

But that's the truth.

"Why should I believe you?" It's just a piece of wasteland; she doesn't think Jin Yining needs it.

“The Ning family has been guarding this land deed for generations. My doing business has already violated the Ning family’s rules. The Ning family’s rules are not to engage in commerce or politics, but for this land deed. Do you think this land deed is important or not?”

Ning Baiyuan's ability to disregard family precepts and go into business, and to succeed in doing so, proves he's a ruthless person, just not a good man. In the end, he was defeated by his own children.

He was too old to turn things around, but he was smart and never told anyone the Ning family's secrets, or perhaps he was just waiting for this day.

That sounds pretty impressive. Is it related to Jin Yining?

Shang Ning kept wondering what the connection was, or perhaps...

Shang Ning looked up at Ning Baiyuan, "You know?"

They knew Jin Yining's special identity and the mysterious organization.

Ning Baiyuan coughed as usual, and after coughing, he said, "As long as I stay here, this land deed is yours. This land deed has no owner; whoever has it in their hands owns it."

"That's amazing, it's not under land title management?"

“No one can control it.” Ning Baiyuan said arrogantly, “If you still want to be with Jin Yining in the future, keep it for self-defense. Even Jin Yining can’t do anything to you.”

"Even if Jin Yining and I get back together in the future, I don't think I need this to protect myself. Can't I do it because of feelings?"

"Feelings?" Ning Baiyuan suddenly laughed. "Girl, you've always been smarter than your older brother and sister, but you don't understand human relationships. You value feelings too much."

Shang Ning suddenly laughed, "If a person is alive but has no feelings, what is the meaning of living? That's really funny."

"What kind of feelings do you value among wolves and tigers?"

Shang Ning: "..."

Ning Baiyuan struck the ground with his cane, seemingly indignant.

Looking at his disappointed expression, Shang Ning clearly thought: I'm waiting for you to become successful, but you've ruined yourself.

That's roughly the feeling.

"You gave me this just so I would take care of you in your old age?" Shang Ning felt that this matter was not so simple, especially now. Ning Baiyuan was a very deep person, so deep that he knew about Jin Yining's matter and that not many people knew where it was kept.

“I hold grudges. You should have Jin Xujing, that woman, pay back the money the Ning family owes.”

"Ha, you really think highly of me." Shang Ning leaned back in his chair. "You can take revenge yourself."

“Ning Kong, if you want to be with Jin Yining, Jin Xujing is the biggest obstacle.”

“I want to be with Jin Yining, and no one can be an obstacle. If he wants to be with me, he won’t care about anything. If he hesitates, why should I be with him?” Shang Ning said, picking up the land deed again and twirling it between her fingers before saying, “This land deed can only get you to stay here at most. Nothing else.”

Ning Baiyuan squinted at the girl opposite him. Shang Ning was also looking at him, clearly waiting for his decision. These were her conditions; if he didn't agree, she could ask him to leave at any time.

"Ning Kong, don't view relationships as too perfect. People are selfish."
