Chapter 216 See you tomorrow, Xia Xia
Ning family ancestral home.
Mr. Ning, who was sitting at the head of the table, put down his chopsticks. He glanced at his wife and finally decided to speak out about this matter.
"I want to talk to you in detail about An Ran's matter."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Ning family members who were still picking up food immediately stopped what they were doing.
The noise at the dinner table suddenly stopped.
Countless pairs of eyes looked at Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning.
At this time, the middle-aged man sitting next to Mr. Ning's hand coughed lightly and showed a flattering smile on his face.
"Uncle, why don't we wait for Yun Shen and Wan Bai to come back before discussing this matter."
"After all, An Ran is their daughter, so they definitely have to listen."
Old Master Ning glanced at him and spoke in an authoritative voice.
"No need to wait, I have already discussed this matter with Yun Shen and Wan Bai privately."
"You know clearly whether you did it or not. Don't think I'm old and confused and I don't know anything."
The middle-aged man who was retorted lowered his head in embarrassment. He glanced at the moving hands on his watch and knew that the old man and the old lady were looking for trouble with Ning Anran.
According to the schedule and the news he received, Ning Anran was discharged from the hospital at noon today and would probably arrive at the Ning family's ancestral home in the evening.
The reason why Ning Yunshen and Wen Wanbai were not here was very simple. They postponed their work and went to pick up their beloved daughter from the hospital.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? We are all upset that Anran is in the hospital. You said that this child has had a miserable fate since childhood. We love her from the bottom of our hearts."
A soft female voice came, and Mr. Ning finally calmed down. He looked at his granddaughter who had won many awards in international art exhibitions and felt that she was pleasing to the eye.
"Xiao Ke, you just came back from abroad, so there are many things you don't understand. Grandpa knows this, too."
"But Grandpa has to make this matter clear today. Our Ning family is a big family, and we can't let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch."
"Ning Youdao, what do you think?"
Being mentioned by name, Ning Youdao forced a thick-skinned smile.
As early as the day Gu Xia came, Ning Youdao had guessed in his heart that this girl Gu Xia must have said something she shouldn't have said to the old man!
So he has been covering up what he has done and dealing with those who know about it these days.
But how could he possibly hide his mediocre skills from Mr. Ning, who had lived for most of his life?
"Grandpa, you're really putting me in a difficult position. When An Ran got into trouble, I didn't do anything. I was just staying at the shoe factory, inspecting it!"
"If you don't believe me, ask my dad. He has attendance records!"
Seeing his son being questioned by the old man, the middle-aged man sitting next to Ning Youdao became anxious. He took out the handkerchief on the chest of his suit and wiped his sweat.
Licking his chapped lips, the middle-aged man quickly agreed, "Old man, he's telling the truth. He was busy with quality control at the shoe factory at the time. I even picked a very tiring job for him just to get him started."
Watching the father and son singing in unison.
Old Madam Ning slapped the table, and the jade bracelets on her wrists made a crisp sound when they touched each other.
"You mean to say that Yuanshan wronged you?"
"I tell you, the fact that I can ask Yuanshan this question today means that we have already investigated the matter thoroughly."
"Youdao, if you have any evidence, please bring it out as soon as possible. It's also best to explain everything you did in collusion."
"Otherwise, don't blame Yuanshan and I for killing our own relatives for the sake of justice!"
The old lady's family background is not that of an ordinary wealthy lady. Her family is as powerful as the entire Ning family.
This is also the real reason why the couple can still respect each other and treat each other as equals for so many years.
“This…this…”
The middle-aged man felt like there was something stuck in his throat. He frowned and looked at his son, only to see Ning Youdao avoiding his gaze and not daring to meet his gaze.
Having worked in the business world for many years, he immediately understood the trick.
I'm afraid that if Ning Anran gets into trouble, it really has something to do with this stupid son of mine!
At this point, he could only ask his son to hand over all the other people, and perhaps he could even plead for mercy in front of the old man and the old lady.
Otherwise, he didn't know what to do to protect this stupid pig from the furious old man and old woman.
"Dad, I didn't do this. I never meant to hurt An Ran."
"Yuan Ye isn't from our family, so there's no point in me being jealous!"
Ning Youdao simply threw away the rogue. He was sure that with his "careful planning", Gu Xia would not be able to find anything suspicious.
Even if the old man believed the girl's nonsense out of concern, without any concrete evidence, who could do anything to him?
"Yeah?"
"Youdao, I've cultivated you for so many years, and you still won't tell the truth?"
The housekeeper pushed open the door and Ning Yunshen walked in first. Unlike the Ning family members who were dressed in formal attire, Ning Yunshen was wearing home clothes.
He was holding a black women's handbag in his hand. Everyone was startled and seemed to have guessed something, and they all rushed to look back.
Ning Anran, looking pale, appeared in front of the Ning family. Contrary to the previous rumors that she was blind, Ning Anran's eyes were fine.
Only the faint scars at the end of her eyes and eyebrows showed that she had suffered serious trauma.
With her long hair draped over her shoulders, Ning Anran was not as furious as the Ning family had imagined. Instead, she walked to the side of Grandpa Ning and Old Madam Ning with a light smile.
Wen Wanbai pulled out a chair for Ning Anran and took the dishes and chopsticks from the side.
"Anran, you just got out of the hospital and can't eat anything meaty. Mommy asked the kitchen to prepare a light meal for you. If you don't like it, please tell Mommy, okay?"
The steam from the food on the table rose up, and Ning Anran nodded obediently.
"I know, thank you for your hard work, Mom."
"It's hard for you to prepare all this for me alone."
Turning his head, Ning Anran gave the old couple another pale smile.
"Grandpa and grandma, I hope my sudden appearance didn't disturb you?"
What a polite child! It broke the old couple's hearts.
"No, Anran, your grandfather and I are looking forward to your discharge from the hospital. I asked someone to make a special meal for you, and it's warming it in the kitchen."
"You've just been discharged from the hospital, so you need to calm down and recuperate."
"Do your eyes hurt?"
Ning Anran shook her head, looked up at Ning Youdao, who was trembling so much that he couldn't even hold the spoon steadily, and said slowly: "Xia Xia is with me, I won't feel any pain."
As soon as the words fell, Ning Anran's cell phone, which was placed on the table, rang.
The only one who was not on the Do Not Disturb mode by Ning Anran was Gu Xia.
"Grandpa and grandma, let me reply first."
"It's Xia Xia's."
Mr. and Mrs. Ning always adhered to the rule that mobile phones were not allowed at the dinner table, but when he saw Ning Anran, who looked like a sick cat, he finally swallowed his words of reprimand.
Indulging Ning Anran's "little temper".
She has been struggling in pain on the hospital bed these days, so it would be nice to be able to play with her phone to entertain herself.
[Are you home yet? Probe.jpg]
[We're here, getting ready to eat. Xia Xia, remember to eat too, otherwise you'll feel sick to your stomach.]
[Is the medicine I bought for you expired? If it is, please remember to throw it away. I will buy some more tomorrow.]
See you tomorrow, Xia Xia
I love you, Xia Xia
