"Uncle and Aunt, President Jin has gone back, and I'll go back first too. I'll come to see you another day." Lin Tingyu said, looking at Jin Yining. "You don't need to worry about President Jin. It didn't cause any serious consequences. I'll be going now."
After Lin Tingyu finished speaking, she glanced at Shang Ning one last time before leaving.
Shang Ning was still nervous about how to greet them. The word "Mom" was right in front of her lips, but she just couldn't bring herself to say it.
Lian Jingyan wasn't too cold towards Shang Ning, but she certainly wasn't enthusiastic either; she simply invited her over for dinner.
Shang Ning thought that Ning Kong probably wasn't very popular in this family before, but considering what she had done before, it was already good that Jin Yining's mother gave her a kind look.
Lin Tingyu chased after him and caught up with Jin Xujing as he got into the car. She bent down and followed him into the car. Seeing that Jin Xujing was still angry, she said to comfort him, "President Jin, it's not worth getting so angry about this."
"I just don't understand how that woman can cause so much trouble. But then again, there's no one good in her family. If it weren't for you, the Jin family would have been ruined by them." Jin Xujing got angrier and angrier as he spoke. He told the driver to start the car and tried to calm himself down, but he just couldn't swallow the anger that was suffocating him. "No, they have to get a divorce. I've had enough of those insatiable ingrates from the Ning family."
Lin Tingyu lowered her eyes, then looked up with a smile. "President Jin, I contacted other suppliers about the lime, but our current demand is too large, so they might not be able to supply that much at the moment. However, I have an idea..."
Jin Xujing's anger gradually subsided as he listened to Lin Tingyu's words. Lin Tingyu studied business management and was Jin Yining's junior. She came to Jin's company to help her right after graduation. In fact, Jin Xujing had initially been interested in Lin Tingyu, but who knew that the other woman would steal her away.
Shang Ning felt oppressed even while eating at the Jin family's house. Only she and Jin Yining were at the table; even Jingyan and Jin Xuguo had gone upstairs. The only people in the living room were the maids who kept glancing over.
It's undeniable that he's unpopular.
"Don't take my aunt's words to heart, that's just how she is." Jin Yining pushed the milk to her side and let her drink it.
"What happened this time?" Shang Ning asked while eating.
“The Jin family started construction on a building project in the south of the city. The lime supplied by Ning’s stone quarry is all substandard and cannot be used for building construction. We only found out after construction started, so the project has now been stopped.” Jin Yining said, placing a peeled egg in her bowl. “After the project was stopped, we lost a lot of money every day, which is why Auntie is so grumpy.”
Shang Ning clicked her tongue. "The Ning family really does surprise people time and time again. So, is this why Ning Kong's mother called me recently?"
Jin Yining took a towel and wiped her hands. "It's probably this."
Shang Ning respected the Ning family. How had they treated Ning Kong before? The news had been so sensational, Ning Kong had been cursed so badly that her ancestors must have been turning in their graves, yet her parents, an older man and a younger woman, hadn't come out to comfort her at all.
Now look what's happened. They brought trouble upon themselves and are now thinking about their daughter again.
If she were Ning Kong, she would go crazy too. This is not something an ordinary person could successfully console themselves with. Even a saint could be driven mad by such a family.
But wait, Shang Ning looked at the egg she was holding in her hand that she was about to eat...
