Isn't that going too far?
Xiao Mo thought to himself.
When he's useful, summon him; when he's useless, make him a wanted criminal.
Did Xiao Lei ever consider that Ning Hong had become a wanted criminal, and that everyone could kill him openly and legitimately?
"Father, don't worry. It's been ten years already, and the interstellar space is quite peaceful. It will probably remain peaceful in the future. Not everyone likes war."
"That's true."
But I felt somewhat uneasy.
Hopefully, Xiaolei's analysis is correct.
The Ning family has settled down and started living their lives behind closed doors.
They never attended any of the events held by the Imperial Star again, and they always politely declined invitations.
Even Ning Su was confined to her home.
"Ning Su, are you really not going? The Crown Prince will be coming too."
Count Spall was celebrating his fiftieth wedding anniversary. Ning Su's good friend, Jie Li, arrived at the Ning family home early in the morning, trying to persuade Ning Su to go with her.
It is truly enviable that they have been able to support each other for fifty years.
The life of Countess Spall was what Ning Su longed for most.
She had also hoped that she and Xiao Lei could be like Count and Countess Spal, holding hands for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking on her part.
Xiao Lei never had her in his heart.
If she were here, how could she have framed her brother like that?
Ning Su's most admired person was her brother.
She absolutely could not tolerate her brother being framed like this, not even by the person she loved most.
Besides.
The Crown Prince publicly issued a warrant for her brother's arrest, threatened her parents, and dissolved their engagement. Therefore, she now only feels disgust towards the Crown Prince and has no goodwill towards him whatsoever.
Whether he goes or not is none of my business.
"No, Susu, the Crown Prince is clearly your fiancé. Aren't you going to stay by his side? There are so many people who like the Crown Prince."
"Jieli..."
Ning Su raised her eyes.
"Do you also like the Crown Prince?"
If not, why have we been talking about the Crown Prince from beginning to end?
"No, I just feel sorry for you."
Jieli's smile was somewhat weak.
She did indeed like the Crown Prince, and had liked him for many years, but it was no use. Her family background was too weak, and she was completely unable to catch the Crown Prince's eye.
Therefore, after hearing that Ning Su was the Crown Prince's fiancée, she endured the heartache and approached her, hoping to use Ning Su to get closer to the Crown Prince.
To everyone's surprise, the two broke off their engagement.
However, even so, Ning Su's status and position remained unchanged.
She didn't have an invitation from Count Spall, which is why she came to Ning Su to go with her.
"Don't worry about me. I'm actually quite happy to have seen through Xiao Lei's character." Her only worry now is her brother's safety.
"Ningsu..."
The Crown Prince is a good person.
Jieli really wanted to say that the reason he issued a warrant for Ning Hongze's arrest must be because he had done something wrong.
Jieli wanted to say a few words for the Crown Prince, but she didn't dare.
If Ning Su didn't want to go, the only way for her to go was through the invitation in Ning Su's hand.
If she offends Ning Su, then she will truly have no hope at all.
Seeing Jie Li's expression, Ning Su felt extremely sad.
She turned and went to her dressing table, where she pulled out a gold-embossed invitation.
"The invitation is here; go by yourself. As a friend, I'll offer one last piece of advice: the Crown Prince is not a good man."
"I understand, I'll definitely stay far away from him." Jieli's eyes lit up when she saw the invitation.
She hugged Ning Su, then picked up the invitation and left happily.
Although she repeatedly assured that she would stay away from Xiao Lei, it seems unlikely that she could actually do so.
However, she didn't want to care too much anymore. She and Xiao Lei had nothing to do with each other anymore, and she didn't care what happened to Jie Li. This was the path she had chosen herself.
Jieli was probably happy too; she no longer needed to hide her feelings. She could openly tell everyone that she also loved the Crown Prince.
However, she was worried that Jieli would use her as an excuse to get close to the Crown Prince.
Thinking of this, Ning Su found the Crown Prince in her blocked contacts and sent him a video call.
Upon seeing Ning Su, Xiao Lei's expression became more meaningful.
Ning Su kept saying she didn't like him anymore. Yet, after such a short time, she couldn't help but contact him.
If it weren't for Kana, Ning Su would be his best choice.
But there was nothing he could do; his heart had already fallen for Kana.
Xiao Lei pressed the video call button.
As soon as the call connected, he saw Ning Su's impatient face.
"Xiao Lei, let me tell you, I no longer like you at all, and I will never do anything for you again."
"You sent a video specifically to talk about this kind of thing?" Xiao Lei frowned. "Is this some kind of ploy to play hard to get?"
“It’s not a ploy to get me, and it doesn’t mean anything else.” Ning Su thought for a moment and then told him about Jie Li’s feelings for him. “I want to make it clear to you that I haven’t asked Jie Li to do anything. If she tells you that I still miss you, it’s all a lie.”
This is something we must be wary of.
Otherwise, if anything happens to Jieli, it will definitely be pinned on her.
She doesn't want to take the blame.
"You just said these things—"
"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to emphasize to you."
After saying that, she hung up immediately.
Xiao Lei's hands trembled slightly.
This woman, this woman is just not likable in this respect.
He's always so proud and never willing to lower himself to please anyone, unlike Kana, who is particularly good at acting cute and can always soften his heart.
"And that Jieli—"
A figure appeared in the Crown Prince's mind.
She seems to be quite good-looking, with a very endearing baby face. However, I'm not entirely sure what she looks like.
“Miss, you’ll offend Miss Jieli if you do this,” said Lianlian, the maid, frowning.
She didn't particularly like Miss Jieli, but her young lady didn't have many friends, and Miss Jieli was one of them, and she came often. With Miss Jieli around, her young lady wouldn't be too bored.
"Forget it, Jieli won't be coming." Even if she does come, she won't cause trouble; she helped her make an impression on the Crown Prince.
Otherwise, based solely on Jie Li's appearance and family background, the Crown Prince would never have noticed him.
Now, as soon as Jieli mentions her name, the Crown Prince will recognize her immediately.
"I always have to be wary of her, lest she use my name to spread nonsense."
Ning Su's precautions actually came in handy.
Jieli entered with Ning Su's invitation and immediately went to find the Crown Prince to express Ning Su's longing for him.
"Susu is stubborn. Her brother did something like this, and she's too ashamed to face anyone..."
