How should I put it?

Madam Ning is the elder, while Ning Yuan is the younger generation.

It should have been Old Madam Ning who did this to him, but now it's the other way around; it's Ning Yuan comforting Old Madam Ning, just like coaxing a child.

Not only are their actions similar, but their tone of voice is also similar.

It looks really strange.

This is Madam Ning, the Madam Ning who held up the Ning family!

At this moment, he seemed more like a junior in front of Ning Yuan.

Ning Chuxin was taken aback.

Ning Yuan is like that again, treating her like a child.

Last time was like that, and this time is too.

In terms of age, she was several generations older than him.

Nominally, she is still his grandmother.

but--

That's strange.

His words eased some of her worries.

It was as if his words had a magical power, making people feel that he was a man of his word, that he would be alright, and that he would return safely.

"Cheng Yue, I'm temporarily entrusting the Ning family and the Longfeng Gang to you," Ning Yuan said, looking at Cheng Yue.

As long as Ning Yue is alive, Cheng Yue will never betray the Ning family.

On the contrary, no matter what happens, even if Jiang Rentian sends people over again, he will protect the Ning family with his life.

For this reason alone, he felt at ease entrusting the Ning family and the Longfeng Gang to him.

Only he can shoulder this heavy responsibility and protect the Ning family.

"Okay." This time, Cheng Yue agreed without hesitation.

Ning Yuan had previously mentioned that he should take over the Longfeng Gang, but he wasn't interested in being the leader of the Longfeng Gang at all, so whenever Ning Yuan brought it up, he would change the subject or pretend he didn't hear it.

But this time, he couldn't pretend he hadn't heard.

The Jiang family's subordinates are really strange. Jiang Rentian is a man who won't give up until he achieves his goal, and Ning Yuan doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with either.

Those guards outside couldn't be killed, so how could Jiang Rentian's men who entered the Ning family be ordinary people?

Like those guards outside, they must be able to heal their wounds automatically if they get injured.

Given this premise, the fact that Ning Yuan could make those people disappear into thin air shows that he is capable.

He can deal with people whose wounds heal on their own.

Since Jiang Rentian failed to take Ning Yuan away this time, he will definitely make a move against Ning Yuan again.

Ning Yuan's departure from the Ning family will actually make him better able to protect the Ning family.

Furthermore, the Jiang family must be completely eliminated for Madam Ning and Ning Yue to be truly safe.

Unable to deal with Jiang Rentian, he could only retreat to the background to protect the Ning family and let Ning Yuan take action.

He and Ning Yuan shared the same goal: to kill Jiang Rentian.

With this goal in mind, he would cooperate fully with whatever Ning Yuan wanted him to do, even if it cost him his life.

Ning Chuxin and Ning Yue had no objections to this decision.

They had high hopes for Cheng Yue from the very beginning.

They even considered that if Ning Yuan was unwilling to take over the Longfeng Gang, they would give the position of leader of the Longfeng Gang to Cheng Yue.

Compared to Lao Zhang and others, Cheng Yue is more suitable to be the leader of the Longfeng Gang.

Because he is ruthless enough, and also rational and intelligent enough.

Furthermore, Ning Yuan is the current leader of the Longfeng Gang, and they have no right to interfere with his orders and decisions.

"Little Chuxin, come with me." Ning Yuan turned to look at Ning Chuxin and spoke like an elder.

It's just that the word "small" is added before "original intention".

This addition has had a significant impact.

This made the expressions of those present even more strange, and even Ning Chuxin couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Small?

What's small?

Little original intention?

She's already in her seventies or eighties, with one foot in the grave, yet a junior calls her "Little Chuxin"?

Not to mention now, even when she was young, no one ever called her Xiao Chuxin. They either called her Miss Ning, or Chuxin, or Axin.

Even her parents only call her Chuxin (初心).

Ning Yuan calling her Xiao Chuxin at this moment was a bit of a shock to her.

Even Ning Yue, who was bandaging Cheng Yue, was stunned and looked up at Ning Yuan.

but--

Ning Chuxin did not raise any objections, but followed Ning Yuan upstairs to the second floor.

It was as if she were the junior.

It wasn't until the two figures disappeared from sight that everyone came to their senses.

"What did the young master just call the old lady?" someone asked, thinking they were hallucinating.

“I heard it clearly, it was… Xiao Chuxin,” one person replied.

"The most puzzling thing is that the old lady didn't object, and even followed the young master upstairs," another person said.

That's Old Madam Ning!

What's going on?!

Why didn't Madam Ning refute Ning Yuan, but instead obediently followed him upstairs?

I thought it was already mysterious enough that Jiang's men were invincible, but I never expected there to be something even more mysterious.

Today was really...

This is weird!

"Go away, what do you know? It's just that the old lady and the young master have a good relationship." Cheng Yue interrupted their conversation, making an excuse for them.

"Come on, let's go to the hospital for treatment and bandaging. I'll cover the cost," Cheng Yue said again, urging the people to leave quickly.

Those subordinates didn't linger long. After glancing at Ning Yue and Cheng Yue, they all wisely left.

Although their leader was ungrateful, they still gave him face and allowed the two of them to be alone.

They are so kind.

I'll have to mention the salary increase to their boss later!

Only two people remained in the living room.

Cheng Yue looked at Ning Yue, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

He reached into his pocket and rummaged around, but found that there were no lollipops in his pocket.

Just then, Ning Yue tightened the bandage on her hand, causing Cheng Yue to gasp in pain.

"Sorry, I think I used a little too much force." Ning Yue said absentmindedly, only snapping back to reality when Cheng Yue spoke.

"No, no, it's just that my arm is useless!" Cheng Yue shook his head and replied.

He felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey when she bandaged him up; how could he possibly feel pain!

Whatever the reason, it was his own fault, and it was definitely not because Ning Yue went too far!

"You seem distracted. What are you thinking about?" Cheng Yue asked after a moment's hesitation.

Ning Yue shook her head as she bandaged the wound, her gentle voice saying, "No."

"How could I not know you?" Cheng Yue replied.

He couldn't say he understood her better than Madam Ning, but he understood her better than most people.

"Because of Ning Yuan?" Cheng Yue asked tentatively.

Ning Yue paused in her movements.

Clearly, Cheng Yue was right.

“He is not my Xiao Yuan,” Ning Yue replied.

If Cheng Yue could discover that she was like this because of Ning Yuan, then he should also discover that the current Ning Yuan is very different from the Ning Yuan of the past.

He's more spirited, bolder, more agile, and more emotional than the Ning Yuan of the past.

Although they looked the same, she knew this was not her Xiao Yuan, not the Xiao Yuan of the past.

"Mm," Cheng Yue replied.

“If you can find it, I can find it too. The old lady must have noticed it much earlier, but she accepted him.”

“Not only the old lady, but even Jiang Yuan accepted his existence, which shows that he is not a bad person and has no ill intentions towards the Ning family.”

"And who knows, this might be the original Ning Yuan."

Cheng Yue replied.
