Brother, my mother is going to beat me to death
"Mom!" Ning Zhengqing's voice was cold and stern. "What are you talking about? Who did you take my little sister to see?"
He was still in a meeting when he heard his cell phone vibrating. He wanted to refuse the call, but when he saw it was Ning Qian calling, his heart tightened.
In my impression, Ning Qian is sensitive and shy, and rarely calls him on her own initiative.
Why would they contact him? Could something have happened?
He was so uneasy that the meeting could not continue.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the call was connected, he heard his mother's voice scolding Ning Qian.
He always knew that his younger sister was not favored, but he never expected that she would treat Ning Qian like this. He even suspected that Ning Qian was adopted.
When Jiang Sha heard her eldest son's voice, her arrogance suddenly disappeared by half. She lowered her head and glared at Ning Qian, meaning, "How dare you complain to your brother!"
Seeing Ning Zhengqing backing her up, Ning Qian said softly to the person on the other end of the phone, "Brother, Mom wants to beat me to death."
"You, when did I say I was going to hit you?" Jiang Sha's gums clenched in anger. "Besides, you sneaked back without telling me, so what if I hit you?"
Ning Zhengqing was getting irritated listening to this on the other end of the line. He pulled off his tie and said helplessly, "Ning Qian, turn on the speaker."
Ning Qian turned on the loudspeaker without hesitation and turned the volume to the maximum.
"Brother, please persuade Mom. She wants me to marry an old man. If I don't agree, she will beat me to death."
Seeing her confuse right and wrong, Jiang Sha was so angry that she was about to attack her, "What nonsense are you talking about to your brother again? I've spoiled you."
Ning Qian stepped back, her voice sharp, "Brother, save me!"
"Mom!" Ning Zhengqing shouted sternly, "I'm going home right now. I don't want to see my little sister with any injuries when I come back!"
Frankly speaking, Ning Zhengqing still managed to intimidate Jiang Sha. Her slap stopped mid-air. "You damned girl, you're so old and still looking to your brother for support. You're such an ungrateful person."
Ning Qian's eyes were cold. In her heart, this mother was no different from her stepmother.
"If there's nothing else, just wait until brother comes back."
Jiang Sha gave her a gloomy look and said, "When you grow up, you will know that I am doing this for your own good. It is a blessing for you that a family like the Shen family would like you."
Ning Qian sneered, "Just think of me as someone who is not worthy enough to enjoy it."
_
Ning Zhengqing came back very quickly. The journey that usually took him more than 20 minutes took him only 10 minutes. Even his tie was crooked.
As soon as he entered the house, he loudly scolded Jiang Sha for her behavior. Jiang Sha was stunned by what he said and no longer had her previous arrogance.
Seeing that he was thirsty, Ning Qian brought him a glass of boiled water and said with concern, "Brother, you must be thirsty. Drink some water and take a rest first."
Seeing how well-behaved she was, Ning Zhengqing felt that Jiang Sha was being excessive and continued, "Ning Qian is still young. There's no rush to get married. Especially with marriage being such a big deal, it needs to be carefully considered. If she meets the wrong person, it will only push her into trouble. Don't you even understand this, Mom?"
Jiang Sha's expression became visibly embarrassed, and she opened her mouth slightly, "I didn't say that I must let her marry, I just asked her to go and meet him first."
Ning Qian stood behind Ning Zhengqing and whispered, "Brother, I'm scared."
Ning Zhengqing patted her hands and blocked her behind him. "Okay, Mom, don't take Ning Qian to meet those messy people in the future."
Jiang Sha didn't respond and looked strange.
"Did you hear that?" Ning Zhengqing shouted impatiently.
He had to deal with company affairs and worry about family matters, and he was very annoyed.
Jiang Sha was shocked, as if she didn't expect her eldest son to be so mean to her.
"knew!"
Jiang Sha felt embarrassed, so she said this and walked away angrily.
"Brother, thank you, thank you for standing by me." Ning Qian could see that Ning Zhengqing really cared about her.
Ning Zhengqing wanted to rub her messy hair, but because there was some estrangement between the siblings, he gave up the idea in the end.
"You're welcome. Why should you be so polite to me?"
"Brother, are you sure Mom won't force me to marry into the Shen family?" Ning Qian still felt that she should move out as soon as possible.
Ning Zhengqing saw her worry and comforted her, "No, no matter what, she is your biological mother. She wouldn't do such an extreme thing."
"But I feel like I was picked up." Ning Qian lowered her eyes.
"Nonsense." Ning Zhengqing's face was filled with heartache. "I saw the nurse carry you out of the hospital. How could you have picked you up? Okay, stop imagining it. Go back to your room and get some rest."
"Okay..." Ning Qian looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Her elder brother is quite good to her, but it's a pity that the third male lead who is infatuated with the heroine finally becomes disillusioned with the world.
No, she absolutely would not allow this to happen. Her elder brother was such a good man, he shouldn't have ended up like this.
So, do they know each other now?
Just as Ning Zhengqing was about to go upstairs, Ning Qian followed him with her hands behind her back, seemingly unintentionally mentioning her attendance at the banquet.
"Brother, wait for me. I twisted my ankle at the party yesterday and it still hurts when I walk."
"Huh? Why are you so clumsy? Is your foot okay now?" Ning Zhengqing chuckled and looked at her with concern.
"It's almost healed, but there was a girl at the party who was much worse off than me."
Ning Qian glanced at him and deliberately talked about Yu Jiangnan.
Ning Zhengqing's brows furrowed as he heard this. Just as Ning Qian was about to ask him if he knew Yu Jiangnan, he said coldly, "That Su Zhiyan is so excessive? You should stay away from her from now on."
"Um, I know." Ning Qian nodded.
"The Ning family is too lawless. Not only do they dominate the industry, but even their daughter is so arrogant and domineering. It's infuriating." Ning Zhengqing said with a gloomy face.
Ning Qian saw that he didn't mention Yu Jiangnan at all, and guessed that they might still be strangers. Then how did they get to know each other?
How come she can't remember anything at all!
"Brother?" Ning Qian called out suddenly.
Ning Zhengqing was still immersed in his anger towards the Su family. After being interrupted, he looked at Ning Qian in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Ning Qian quickly smiled sweetly, "I just wanted to ask if you have a girlfriend. After all, Mom is so worried about me, she should also be concerned about your marriage."
Ning Zhengqing felt a little embarrassed when Ning Qian asked him about such a private matter. He said with a look of teaching a child, "Don't be so nosy. Your brother is now focusing on his career."
"So, is there a girl that brother likes?" Ning Qian planned to ask until the end, otherwise he might not have the chance to ask next time.
Ning Zhengqing immediately rewarded her with a chestnut and said, "Don't worry about it, kid."
Ning Qian had doubts in her heart, is this true or not?
_
After Ning Zhengqing's last defense, Jiang Sha didn't dare mention the Shen family's affairs at home these days. Ning Qian lived a leisurely life as she wished, and she even gave up the idea of moving out.
My phone vibrated slightly. It was a WeChat message from a stranger.
[Ms. Ning, do you still need help? ]
Ning Qian picked up the phone and felt puzzled. Why didn't she have any impression of this person?
She flipped through his circle of friends and saw the iconic pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and suddenly remembered that this was Zhang Xu, the secretary of the Sheng family.
[Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhang. I don't need it for the time being.]
Zhang Xu replied quickly, "Okay, I'll contact you if you need anything."
Ning Qian put down her phone, and the aloof and cold man appeared in her mind again. This man was quite warm-hearted, and the secretary beside him actually remembered her trip.
"Knock, knock, knock" There was a small knock on the door.
"Who?" Ning Qian walked over and opened the door.
"It's me, the second young lady." Aunt Chen bent down and smiled.
"What's the matter?" Ning Qian still remembered Chen Ma's attitude towards her on the first day.
"Second Miss, I'm really sorry to speak to you... It's really urgent for me to come to you." Aunt Chen finished her words with stuttering lips.
Ning Qian looked at her doubtfully, wondering what kind of request could come to her door.
"What's the matter first?"
"It's like this. I have a distant relative who just started working and doesn't have much money. Recently, she accidentally stepped on someone's skirt and has to pay a large sum of money for compensation. Miss, can you lend me some money?" Aunt Chen's voice was pleading.
When Ning Qian heard about borrowing money, she felt very upset. The landlord had no surplus food, so how could she give some away?
"Mother Chen, you've got the wrong person. I don't have any money myself. You should ask my mother for it."
When Aunt Chen heard that she had to ask the lady for money, the wrinkles on her face became more obvious.
It’s not that she hasn’t looked for her wife before, but she has looked for her wife too many times, which has led to her wife now not agreeing to her paying her salary in advance.
"Second Miss, please help me, I really have no other choice." Aunt Chen stopped the door from closing.
Ning Qian felt a little uncomfortable seeing her begging like this despite her age. She asked gloomily, "How much do you want?"
Mother Chen stretched out three fingers as if grasping a life-saving straw, "Three..."
Ning Qian's brows relaxed, "Three thousand?"
Mother Chen shook her head desperately, straightened her tongue and said, "Second Miss, it's three hundred thousand!"
"Bang——" Ning Qian closed the door without hesitation.
She herself doesn't even have 300,000 yuan, and besides, who would lend her so much right away? Does he really think she is a money-giving boy?
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Mother Chen knocked on the door and said anxiously, "Second Miss, please help me, I really need this money."
"Second Miss, any money you can give us can help us solve our urgent needs. I will definitely return the money to you. I can even use my salary for the next three years to offset it."
"Second Miss..."
"Stop..." Ning Qian opened the door, her pretty face darkening, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I don't have that much money."
"Second Miss, please help me since I have worked in the Ning family for ten years." Aunt Chen still did not give up.
"Really not."
Ning Qian also felt upset. Mother Chen had been in this family for ten years and should know her situation better.
"Second Miss, the eldest young master gave you a red envelope of one million on your birthday. Can you borrow the rest for your emergency?" Aunt Chen held the door handle, afraid that the door would close again.
"Everyone said no—" Ning Qian's remaining words died in her throat.
What does Chen Ma mean by this? Her brother once gave her a red envelope of one million?
No, she has to quickly confirm her deposit.
"Mother Chen, I have something else to do. If you really need money, go talk to my brother. He should be able to help you."
"Second Miss..." Aunt Chen still refused to leave.
Seeing that she didn't listen to her orders, Ning Qian also put away her talkative appearance and said coldly: "Mother Chen, you are asking for too much. I really can't give it to you. If you don't let go, I will ask my brother if I have no say in this family and you dare to ignore my words!"
When Aunt Chen heard Ning Qian move the eldest young master out, she frowned and had to let go of the door handle in disappointment.
