Chapter 314 The Wrongfully Accused Young Lady 4 (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

What can she do? I guess Cheng Wei just wants to show off to her. Who cares!

In the evening, the farm workers brought over a slaughtered lamb. The kitchen kept half of it to stir-fry or stew, and marinated the other half for roasting.

Ning Yan had been abroad for several years and missed the food at home a lot. She ate her dinner with gusto, and the old couple ate half a bowl more rice because of it.

For the next two days, the elderly couple prepared a variety of dishes for their granddaughter, and Ning Yan thoroughly satisfied her appetite. It wasn't until Saturday that she reluctantly returned to Beijing with a pile of bags and packages.

Because this day was Cheng Wei and Wu Ziqiao's engagement banquet.

The Wu family is far stronger than the Ning family; otherwise, a shrewd person like Cheng Wei would never have been so eager to curry favor with Wu Ziqiao.

In her previous life, she killed the Ning family of three and even forged a fake will, which was probably with the help of Wu Ziqiao.

It was also because the original owner managed the company so well that the Wu family became greedy.

However, the Ning family's company has been stagnant in this life, and Cheng Wei was still able to get Wu Ziqiao engaged to her, which shows how capable she is.

At 7 p.m., Ning Yan appeared at the Four Seasons Hotel in a simple black halter-neck fitted dress.

As soon as she stepped into the banquet hall, Qi Rulian, who was entertaining guests, spotted her.

"Why are you only arriving now? Go upstairs and keep your sister company. If others see you two, they'll think you two don't get along."

Ning Yan smiled at her, "If Cheng Wei weren't surnamed Cheng, and you kept calling her 'little sister,' I would really think she was your biological daughter!"

Qi Rulian's face immediately darkened: "...How can you talk like that? You've become more and more immature in the years we haven't seen each other!"

She was also afraid that arguing with her daughter on this joyous day would make her a laughingstock, so she quickly suppressed her anger and sent Ning Yan away: "Go, go upstairs and keep Wei'er company. Today is her big day, don't say anything that will upset everyone!"

"Just give in to her~ I understand. Anyway, ever since she entered the Ning family, haven't I always been asked to give in to her?"

Don't worry, I will!

Qi Rulian: ...If it weren't for Wei'er insisting on calling her, her older sister, back, she would have loved for this brat to continue playing outside.

Don't open your mouth, because the moment you do, you'll be sure to infuriate people to death.

"Mom, are you angry? Please don't! I'm just bad at saying things, I don't mean any harm, Mom, you won't blame me, right?!"

This is Cheng Wei's favorite phrase. In the few times the original owner had contact with her, Cheng Wei would deliberately provoke the original owner. After the original owner got angry, Cheng Wei would pretend to be a good person in front of the couple. Then, she would say that she didn't know how to speak and had no bad intentions. If the original owner was still angry with her, it would be because the original owner was petty.

Qi Rulian was indeed speechless, and she regretted once again calling Ning Yan back to attend Wei'er's engagement party.

"Forget it, you'd better not go up. Just find a place down here and stay put. Come home with me after the banquet."

Today's engagement banquet is extremely important. If it weren't for Weiwei, their family wouldn't even be able to get close to the Wu family.

The company is facing a financial crisis and urgently needs someone to inject capital. I'll teach that brat a good lesson when I get home!

Ning Yan nodded indifferently, "Sure, I'll do whatever you say. After all, you're my mom! I'm off now."

After saying that, she left without looking back, making Qi Rulian so angry that her liver ached.

Ning Yan went to the buffet area, took a plate, picked out a few of her favorite foods, and slowly enjoyed them in a corner.

The banquet ceremony began soon afterward, and Wu Ziqiao led Cheng Wei, who was dressed in a gorgeous gown, down from the second floor.

It's no wonder Cheng Wei wanted to show off; Wu Ziqiao does have some assets. He's tall with long legs and has a model's face. Apart from being a little thin, he's flawless.

No, perhaps in other people's eyes, his thinness is also an advantage.

The two walked slowly down the long staircase. Ning Yan could see the happiness and pride in Cheng Wei's eyes!

Tsk, smug, aren't you? The higher you stand, the harder you fall!

No sooner had she thought of this than Cheng Wei accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt, lost her balance, and fell forward. She instinctively grabbed Wu Ziqiao next to her, and then all the guests watched as the two of them tumbled down the stairs together.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

"Oh my god!"

"Quick, save them!"

"Oh my god, so much blood, could she be pregnant...?"

The hall was in chaos, and Qi Rulian's crying was particularly shrill. Ning Yan sat there watching from a distance.

Fortunately, there was a doctor among the guests who gave Wu Ziqiao and the other man some basic treatment before the ambulance arrived. The man's leg was probably broken, and he had lost consciousness.

Cheng Wei fared even worse. Not only did she suffer a miscarriage, but she also landed face-first when she fell, which completely destroyed her nose and broke her right arm.

The Wu family members looked extremely grim. There was even a young woman, presumably Wu Ziqiao's cousin, who looked at Cheng Wei with utter disgust. This was understandable, since Wu Ziqiao had been dragged down by Cheng Wei and fell from grace.

The hotel was in the city center, very close to the hospital. The ambulance arrived quickly, and the two people were taken away soon. Both families also went to the hospital together.

No one expected that such a big accident would happen at an engagement banquet. The hosts all left, and the remaining guests left on their own.

After eating and drinking her fill, Ning Yan took a taxi directly back to her house.

Judging from the Wu family's attitude, the marriage between those two is in jeopardy.

After washing up at home and turning off her phone, Ning Yan slept soundly until dawn.

Meanwhile, things weren't peaceful at the hospital. In addition to losing her child, Cheng Wei also had her uterus removed. The Wu family immediately changed their attitude and stormed off.

Qi Rulian argued angrily with Madam Wu, only to be met with the retort: ​​"Does Madam Ning want my Wu family line to end?"

When Cheng Wei woke up and learned the result, she cried and made a scene, but it was all in vain. What was lost was lost forever, and no amount of crying would bring it back.

Wu Ziqiao was still undergoing surgery in the operating room, and the only ones being tormented by her were Qi Rulian and her husband.

After finally coaxing Cheng Wei to sleep, Qi Rulian finally remembered her daughter. Such a big thing had happened, and she didn't even show her face. How heartless and ungrateful she was!

She didn't care what time it was, picked up her phone and dialed her daughter's number, but: the number you dialed is switched off.

She couldn't get through!

Enraged, Qi Rulian smashed her phone, but it was to no avail.

Unlike his wife's exasperation, Ning Junhong was very clear-headed. His adopted daughter was ruined, and the Wu family was clearly no longer a reliable source of income. Fortunately, he still had a biological daughter. As long as Yan Yan was willing to marry into the family, or even if she was unwilling, as long as she injected her assets into the company, the Ning family could still be saved.

Therefore, he repeatedly told his wife not to give their daughter the cold shoulder anymore, and that he would go to see her in person.

Unfortunately, Ning Yan didn't give him that chance at all.
