Then a small figure suddenly rushed to her and hugged her legs tightly.
Seeing Shuo Shuo looking up with tears in her eyes, Ning Xi suddenly lost the mood to chat and said hurriedly, "Okay, let's stop talking. Let's wait for you to come back tomorrow and have dinner together."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Ning Xi hung up the phone and quickly hugged Shuo Shuo, "What's wrong, Shuo Shuo? Auntie is back!"
Shuo Shuo frowned and turned around to point at the wall clock in the office.
Ning Xi immediately understood that the little guy was unhappy because she came back a few minutes late.
"I'm sorry, Shuo Shuo, I didn't keep my promise, I apologize.
But I was treating an old lady, so I was a little late. Can Shuo Shuo forgive me for once?"
Ning Xi picked him up and explained patiently.
Shuo Shuo quickly nodded and forgave her. Ning Xi kissed him a few more times, making Shuo Shuo giggle.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Ning Xi took Shuo Shuo home from get off work.
However, she did not go home, but bought some things and went to her aunt's house.
As soon as Ning Xi arrived at Ning Lan's door, she heard an argument in the house.
"Are you my biological mother? You didn't even give me 6,000 yuan. Am I your biological child?"
"Of course I gave birth to you, but Linlin, what on earth do you want six thousand yuan for?"
"Just give me the money, why are you asking so many questions?"
Ning Xi heard that the person asking her aunt for money inside was her daughter, her cousin Zhao Kailin.
Zhao Kailin is 25 years old this year. She graduated from college three years ago, has no stable job, spends money lavishly, and often comes to Ning Lan to ask for money.
Not only her, but also her brother Zhao Kaifeng, has not had a proper job for several years since graduation. He hangs around in society every day and comes to Ning Lan for money when he has no money.
Although Ning Lan works as an elementary school teacher and has a good salary, Ning Xi and Ning Yue will give Ning Lan some money every month after they start working, but they can't afford such abuse.
She was like the Zhao family's ATM, being exploited by them every day.
Now, hearing that Zhao Kailin came to ask her aunt for money again, Ning Xi's anger immediately rose. She pushed the door open and said, "Since you are not allowed to ask, then don't take the money. Your mother's money is not blown by the wind, so it can't be squandered at will."
"I'm talking to my mother, what's it to you?" Seeing Ning Xi come in, Zhao Kailin stood up suddenly like a lit firecracker.
"You also know that this is your mother, but what was your attitude just now?" Ning Xi frowned.
"What's my attitude? How can you, a burden, control me?"
Zhao Kailin has hated the Ning Xi sisters since childhood, and felt that the Ning Xi sisters were two burdens that dragged them down.
I have no right to lecture her!
"Linlin, how can you talk to your sister like that!" Ning Lan saw that Zhao Kailin was talking too much and hurriedly pulled her aside.
But she didn't expect Zhao Kailin to push her back. If there wasn't a stool behind Ning Lan, she would have been pushed down by her.
However, Zhao Kailin didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. She even became more angry and said, "How can she be considered my sister? We have different names and surnames. If you hadn't insisted on dragging them along and made grandma unhappy, grandma wouldn't have been so partial to me and kicked me out!"
When Ning Lan brought her two nieces back to the Zhao family, Mrs. Zhao immediately turned hostile and started to mock and abuse Ning Lan every day.
In the end, Ning Lan had no choice but to shamelessly go to her boss and get assigned this small two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, where she moved in with Ning Xi and her sister.
But in this case, the selfish Zhao family was worried that Ning Lan would give the house to Ning Xi and her sister.
So, in addition to Zhao Haicheng coming over every now and then, Mrs. Zhao also drove Zhao Kailin out to live with them, just to prevent Ning Lan from giving the house to Ning Xi and the others.
Only Zhao Haicheng and his son Zhao Kaifeng are qualified to live in the Zhao family's ancestral home.
But in the final analysis, it is because the Zhao family is mean, selfish, and patriarchal that they do this.
However, Zhao Kailin was misled by the old lady Zhao and thought that all this was caused by the Ning Xi sisters and Ning Lan.
So she only had resentment towards Ning Lan and had no gratitude at all. She even treated her as an ATM and only knew how to ask for money.
Ning Lan didn't expect her daughter to think this way.
Her daughter had clearly seen how the Zhao family had treated her over the years, yet now they were blaming her.
Ning Xi was also very angry. She hugged Shuo Shuo and walked forward and said, "Zhao Kailin, has your conscience been eaten by a dog? What have your grandma and your dad done to your mom over the years? Are you blind?"
"That's her own fault. If she hadn't insisted on letting you move in, why would grandma scold her and why would my dad beat her? To be honest, all this is because of you and your sister!" Zhao Kailin shouted at her.
"Linlin, shut up!" Ning Lan was so angry at Zhao Kailin that her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking. "Get out! Get out!"
She pointed at the door, feeling extremely heartbroken. She never expected that her daughter not only did not understand her, but also said such hurtful words.
Zhao Kailin glared at her and Ning Xi, then grabbed the backpack beside her and ran out angrily.
Ning Xi saw that Ning Lan's face was not right, so she quickly put Shuo Shuo down and went to her side: "Auntie, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm fine." Ning Lan waved at her, but slumped in the chair as if she had lost her strength.
Ning Xi held her wrist worriedly, and made sure that she was just angry and had no other problems, so she didn't say to take her to the hospital. She just held her wrist and massaged a certain acupuncture point.
It can help her relieve liver and depression.
Ning Lan's eyes reddened when she saw her doing this. "I'm sorry, Xixi. It's all my fault for not teaching Linlin well."
"Aunt, this is not your fault, don't say these things."
Ning Xi knew very well that Zhao Kailin's personality was not only due to genetics, but also due to the indoctrination of her family.
Although she followed Ning Lan later, the influence of the Zhao family on her had already been made. In addition, Ning Lan was busy with work and did not correct her thoughts in time. It is not surprising that she has become like this now.
"No, it's because I neglected her education that she became like this." Ning Lan shook her head, but at the same time, she didn't want Ning Xi to think too badly of Zhao Kailin, so she added, "But Linlin is still young after all. She'll understand when she grows up, so Xixi, please don't hold a grudge against her, okay?"
Ning Xi paused while pressing her acupoints and wanted to say something, but faced with Ning Lan's pleading gaze, she didn't say it.
Just nodded.
Ning Lan then sighed and said nothing more.
Ning Xi didn't take Zhao Kailin seriously, but Zhao Kailin really hated her.
After leaving, she became angrier and angrier, thinking that it was Ning Xi who ruined her good fortune and that was why she didn't get the money.
After thinking about it, she turned around and went to the Zhao family's ancestral home to find Zhao Haicheng.
