Soon a girl's voice rang out, accompanied by music, and it truly had a carefree, wandering-the-world feel to it: "The mortal world is so laughable, and infatuation is the most pointless..."
Su Mengmeng and several classmates widened their eyes, "We've never heard this song before!"
"Ning's voice is so beautiful..."
Even more exaggerated comments included, "Holy crap, this singer could debut right away!"
Ning Yan sang with great enthusiasm; her eyes crinkled when she sang, and her voice had a unique, carefree quality.
So when the song ended, the audience erupted in applause, and some tourists even recorded her performance and sent it out.
Although they only recorded half of the song when they realized it, the song was still so good!
One of the minor internet celebrities received nearly 10,000 likes in just one hour after posting this song, with many comments asking who sang it and what the song was called.
Meanwhile, Ning Yan and several classmates had finished eating and drinking and returned to the hotel to go soak in the hot springs.
...
City M.
On the sixth day since his daughter left home, Ning Hongxuan still went to work on time. As the year draws to a close, the factory is busier than ever, and he often goes to the factory to check on things to prevent any problems with product quality.
I just got back to the company today, and the receptionist said someone was looking for me. The person said they were a relative of General Manager Ning.
Ning Hongxuan's face darkened immediately, but he still invited the person upstairs.
"Brother, I never expected you to bring your niece to M City back then. I've been looking for you for thirteen years. If it weren't for your company becoming famous, we still wouldn't have been able to find you."
Ning Hongxuan looked at his younger sister, who was clearly more than ten years older, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
"It seems Miss Ning has a very short memory. Back when my family was in trouble, I went to my brother-in-law's house for help, and that's what you said—"
Oh, the Ning family is already a wrecked ship, don't drag the Shen family down with them, I don't have such a useless brother.
Right? Did I mispronounce a single word?
Ning Yunshu looked embarrassed, but people are selfish. The Ning family was already finished. If she didn't sever ties with her brother, her life in the Shen family would be difficult.
She said some harsh things, but isn't my brother doing better now?
Why bother arguing with her over such trivial matters?
Shen Zhihao, who came with her, stepped forward with a fawning smile, "Big brother, we were all young back then, and we said the wrong things. Please don't hold it against us. You and Yunshu are siblings, and you share the same blood. Let's put the past behind us."
"Want to start a new chapter? Fine, if you all work as delivery drivers for thirteen years like me, I'll start a new chapter too, how about that?"
Shen Zhihao's face twitched. How could he, the eldest young master of the Shen family, possibly deliver food?
"Brother, we can deliver food, but the company can't wait. Could you lend a hand? It doesn't have to be much, just 20 million would be enough to save my company from this crisis..."
Ning Hongxuan didn't speak, just looked at him with a half-smile.
Shen Zhihao immediately changed his mind, "If not twenty million, fifteen million, or even ten million will do..."
Ning Yunshu tugged at Shen Zhihao's sleeve, gesturing for him to look at his older brother's expression. Shen Zhihao gritted his teeth and said, "Five million, that's the lowest I can go. If I weren't desperate, I wouldn't be begging you for help."
"You've got some nerve. You treated me like a beggar and sent me away. No, even beggars get some food, but you didn't give me a single hair. And today you have the nerve to ask me for money?"
Shen Zhihao, when you kicked me out of the Shen family, did you ever imagine that one day you would come begging to me for help?
Shen Zhihao's face turned green; those words were too harsh.
If he had known that his brother-in-law had a chance to rise again, he would have definitely given him something back then. Even if it wasn't much, he could have at least provided him with a house to live in.
But people can't see ahead or behind; it's too late to say anything now.
"Big brother..."
"No, no, no, I can't accept being called 'elder brother' like that. Have you forgotten that you and your husband severed ties with me back then?"
Don't deny it, I recorded it that day. Do you want to see it?
...
The couple slunk away from the Ning family's residence. After getting into the car, Shen Zhihao slapped Ning Yunshu hard across the face.
"Useless trash! I've raised you for nothing all these years. I should have divorced you back then. You're a jinx, ruining the Ning family and dragging down my Shen family."
Isn't that just nonsense?
The Ning family had their troubles a year after she married into the Shen family. Now that the Shen family is in trouble, it's all because his mistress has been deceiving him for so many years and recently ran off with his money and his first love!
Ning Yunshu cried after being slapped. If her family hadn't gone bankrupt back then, this scumbag would never have dared to hit her. She regretted it; she shouldn't have been so heartless to her brother. Even if she went along with her husband's wishes in public, she should have secretly sent some money to her brother. That way, at least they, as siblings, would have had some face left.
Now look what's happened; she's being bullied by her husband and has no one to stand up for her.
She didn't even dare to cry loudly, because the man would only beat her harder.
The couple flew back to L city. As soon as they entered the house, their fourteen-year-old son came over with his phone in hand and asked, "Mom, isn't this my cousin from my uncle's family?"
Before Ning Yunshu could speak, Shen Zhihao started cursing, "What cousin? She doesn't even acknowledge your mother, so where did you get a cousin from?"
Shen Yue shrank back as his father scolded him, but fortunately, Shen Zhihao was tired from the flight and went back to his room after scolding him.
Shen Yue immediately shoved his phone in front of his mother's face, "Mom, look! Uncle must have made a fortune, otherwise, why would my cousin spend money so lavishly?"
This was taken by a passerby and posted online. In about half a day, she had spent over seven million yuan.
Ning Yunshu's voice cracked with shock, "How much?"
"Seven, seven million six hundred and three thousand!" This is what netizens calculated.
"What did you buy that cost so much?"
Even when the Shen family was at its best, she had spent money like this before, but those were all for buying jewelry, which holds its value. Is a young girl crazy to spend so much money?
She snatched the phone from her son's hand and started watching the video posted by a netizen.
Wow, the video was filmed starting from the seafood market.
How many kilograms does this yellow-lipped thing weigh?
Ning Yan was surprised to see the yellow croaker because this fish is a protected animal in the country where she used to live, and even if she had money, she could only buy it from abroad.
"Twelve catties, 150,000 for one, want to try it, little sister?"
Is this the only one? Are there no larger ones?
The stall owner smiled broadly, "Yes, we have one too, weighing 24.5 jin, priced at 360,000."
Ning Yan peeled back the ice to check the fish; it looked quite fresh, probably caught not long ago. "I'll take both. Can you airfreight the bigger one to me?"
This one is a bit pricey, but the weight has increased, so the unit price has also increased, which is normal.
"Sure, no problem at all!" (End of Chapter)
