Ning Yizhan returned to the Ning residence in the early hours of the morning.
As soon as he entered, he saw his parents and Ning Yijia sitting in the living room waiting for him. It was obvious that Ning Yijia had dragged his parents along to keep him company, and they both looked helpless.
Ning Yijia's opening line was aggressive: "You're back from dropping off Qiuhu? Did it take more than three hours? I just don't understand what's so great about Qiuhu?"
Ning Yizhan didn't want to argue with her, so he didn't even glance at her. He walked past her and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I'm going back to my room now."
Ning Yijia felt even more resentful when Ning Yizhan ignored her, so she grabbed him and wouldn't let him leave, saying, "Don't go, you haven't finished talking yet!"
"Ning Yijia, that's enough. Don't think everyone will indulge you," Ning Yizhan said coldly and angrily.
"Have you ever spoiled me? I asked you to take care of Sister Mo Ran, and you wouldn't even listen," Ning Yijia complained.
The parents stood by, wanting to mediate but unsure how to begin.
Ning Yizhan sneered, and his icy words came out again, "I advise you to stay away from her. Don't be foolish enough to let her sell you out and then help her count the money. My dear sister, please don't be so stupid."
Was she brainwashed by Guan Moran?
"You're slandering people like this because of that woman! Sister Mo Ran is my best friend."
"That's why I said you're stupid. After all these years, you still can't see what kind of person Guan Moran is. Try bringing that woman in front of me again and see what happens!" After saying that, he didn't forget to warn her, "Don't call her that woman. She's my girlfriend now, your future sister-in-law."
Ning Yijia was shocked, not expecting them to get together so quickly, and became even more furious, "Impossible, if you marry her, don't expect me to call her sister-in-law for the rest of your life."
"Whatever."
Ning Yijia's eyes filled with tears, and she felt wronged, becoming hysterical. "You never treated me like this before, why?"
She knew that her brother had been indifferent to her for a long time, and he no longer took her to meals and gatherings. She always had to find out about it from Shao Jin and go along with him.
He used to speak to her in a gentle tone, like an older brother to his younger sister, but now he speaks in a serious, lecturing, or even impatient tone.
His mother asked him to arrange a shop for her to open, but she didn't even know the name of the shop she opened, never asked about it, and never went there.
Ning Yizhan's eyes dimmed upon hearing this. "You've already mentioned the past, why don't you know it yourself?"
"Was it because of the sea breeze? Is your own sister less important than a dog? I apologized to you back then." Tears streamed down Ning Yijia's face. Ever since that incident, her brother had never treated her the same way again.
"So you really can't compare to me. As your brother, I'll kindly remind you: when you have time, go see your 'good friend' in prison, find out what really happened, and see what kind of person Guan Moran is!" Ning Yizhan left these words and turned to go upstairs. Behind him, Lian Zhi's questioning voice came, "Xiaozhan, are you really with Ahu? You're not lying to your mother?"
"Yes," Ning Yizhan affirmed without turning around. He could hear Lian Zhi's footsteps moving back and forth and imagine her joyful expression, because he felt the same way.
After Ning Yizhan left, Lianzhi withdrew her joy and then remembered her daughter, who was slumped on the sofa behind her, crying bitterly. Her husband was already asking and comforting her, but he couldn't get any answers from her. When his wife turned around, he immediately looked at her with pleading eyes.
Lianzhi always took a considerate approach to her daughter, and this time was no exception. "Jiajia, what exactly happened between you and your brother? What's the deal with Guan Moran?"
"Mom, I wanted to introduce Sister Mo Ran to my brother as his girlfriend, but who knew he would do this."
"How could you do this? Don't you know your brother likes Qiu Hu? Why did you do this?"
"What's so great about Qiu Lake? Sister Mo Ran is the one who's more suitable to be my sister-in-law!"
Lian Zhi's tone turned serious. "You're too willful. Putting aside what's wrong with Qiu Hu, your brother wouldn't like Guan Moran whether Qiu Hu or not. Besides, it's your brother's life. Even Dad and I have no right to interfere, let alone you."
Ning Yijia was still defending Guan Moran, saying, "But, Sister Moran is really a good person."
"Now that you mention it, I don't think Guan Moran is a good girl at all. I'll look into all of this. If I find out anything, I'll interfere with your freedom to make friends. Jiajia, you like her so much, you hope she's a good girl, right?"
"Besides, the first time you brought her home, I didn't really like her. Her demeanor didn't match her personality. I told you before to be careful in making friends, but I never expected that you two would still be in contact after all these years."
Guan Moran's family is nouveau riche. Ever since that incident, Guan Moran has been sent abroad, which now seems to be to avoid the limelight.
Ning Yijia still didn't understand why everyone was dissatisfied with Guan Moran, "She must be a good girl."
"And about Haifeng, I think you still haven't reflected on your actions. Is your behavior at home just for show? Wasn't that lesson enough? Ning Yijia, reflect on your actions!" How could her daughter be so clueless? She's already twenty-two, and apart from having some talent for designing clothes, she's useless at everything else. Look at Qiu Hu, who's the same age and has been able to stand on her own for a long time. Just thinking about herself gives her a headache.
Finally, Lian Zhi and Ning Shuzai left, leaving Ning Yijia alone in the living room crying. Proud and shameless, she couldn't possibly complain to anyone about her crushing defeat, nor could she go to Guan Moran, whom her mother had just scolded. If they found out, they would dislike her even more.
You're quite understanding, but you're not very bright!
So she found the scumbag Shao Jin and said, "Hey, Brother Shao Jin, let's go out for a drink, I'm in a bad mood."
Just as the hapless Shao Jingang was about to fall asleep, the phone rang. Guessing what it was about, he asked, "What happened? Did your brother scold you?"
"What's the use of trying?" he said, "Yes, so come out and drink with me."
Dream on.
Ning Yijia hadn't processed the news that her brother and Qiu Hu were together. "Tell me, how did they get together? Qiu Hu lied to him like that back then."
"It's because of love, I can tell your brother really likes her."
"What's wrong with Sister Mo Ran? She's so outstanding."
"Isn't Qiu Hu outstanding? He only returned a short time ago and has already gained real power in the Qiu family."
"It's all thanks to her grandfather," Ning Yijia said dismissively.
"But she has to be able to hold it steady."
Ning Yijia was speechless, picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp. Why is the whole world helping Qiu Hu?
While she was drinking, Shao Jin sent a message to Ning Yizhan, telling him that his sister was with him and that he could rest assured.
"You should think about whether there's something wrong with you. Why isn't anyone speaking up for you?"
