Chapter 372 Mary Sue's Sister-in-law (27)
Xi Ciming worked for more than an hour. He stood up and drank some water before picking up his phone. Sure enough, he saw Ning Shichu's reply.
"Dear husband! I'm sorry, it's my fault. I played crazy that night and didn't consider your feelings. I'm very sorry. I will never do that again. Can you forgive me?"
Xi Ciming was a little surprised when he saw his wife's reply. He thought Ning Shichu would think he was making a fuss and was too petty to restrict him like this, but he didn't expect her to admit her mistake so straightforwardly and promise not to do it again.
The discomfort in his heart finally disappeared. Xi Ciming himself was not a very chauvinistic man. He was more jealous of his wife dancing with other men than feeling insulted by being cuckolded. Therefore, Ning Shichu's admission of mistake quickly made the grudge in his heart disappear.
"Okay, I forgive you," he replied.
When Ning Shichu saw his reply, he immediately called him and comforted him with sweet words. Xi Ciming soon forgot about the unpleasantness.
After hanging up the phone, Ning Shichu breathed a sigh of relief. Although she and Xi Ciming were a married couple and had no romantic love, they still had to remain loyal to each other. As long as Xi Ciming hadn't done anything to let her down, she couldn't be the first to betray him. She still had principles.
Hong Yunyun heard the conversation between Ning Shichu and Xi Ciming and laughed secretly. After she hung up the phone, she said gloatingly, "It's what you deserve! Your husband found out you were dancing with another man, right? Don't you have to humble yourself and apologize to your husband?"
Ning Shichu snorted and said, "My husband is very tolerant and generous. He forgave me after I explained and apologized. Husbands and wives still need some trust."
Hong Yunyun rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be so sanctimonious. If Xi Ciming danced with a hot beauty, would you feel okay and forgive him easily? Xi Ciming might say he forgave you, but he still remembers it in his heart."
"Just remember it. If he uses this as evidence to cheat on me, then why don't I just divorce him? It's not like I can change a man." Ning Shichu said it very casually and heartlessly. Look at her, she just said so many sweet words to Xi Ciming on the phone, but now she talks about divorce so easily. What a heartless woman.
When Hong Yunyun heard what she said, she looked at Ning Shichu in shock and said, "I didn't expect you to say such a thing. It's really beyond my expectation. I thought you loved Xi Ciming very much. Also, aren't you married by arrangement? Can you get a divorce just because you want to? The Xi family and the Ning family won't agree, right?"
Ning Shichu glanced at her calmly and said, "What's the use of them agreeing or not? As long as I want to divorce, there are thousands of ways to do it... By the way, how do you think I love Xi Ciming so much? I just respect my marriage with him."
Hong Yunyun was a little stunned, but she felt that Ning Shichu had some truth in what he said. She had indeed never shown much love for Xi Ciming, so why did she have this illusion?
Ning Shichu had no idea how Hong Yunyun guessed about their marital relationship. Her feelings for Xi Ciming were simple. She was just attracted to him within a legal marriage. There was a little bit of affection, but not much. Ning Shichu loved herself the most, but she didn't mind living with Xi Ciming, a good man.
Of course, if this high-quality man falls in love with another woman one day, she will definitely let him go.
Xi Ciming, who was far away in China, had no idea that his wife was so ruthless. He waited for Ning's father and mother in his company. Because they came directly to the company, Xi Ciming had to see them.
Ning's father and mother actually didn't want to go to Xi Ciming to ask for a son-in-law. They actually wanted Ning Shichu to take the lead. However, after Ning Shichu went abroad, he temporarily blocked his parents' mobile phone numbers. They had no way to contact Ning Shichu, and the trouble caused by Ning Zhiyi could not wait, so they had to humble themselves and find Xi Ciming.
"Mom and Dad, how did you find the company? If you have any questions, you can call me. I will visit your home after get off work." Xi Ciming said.
Father Ning had a sour face and said unceremoniously: "You are so busy at work, how can you come to us? We can do it ourselves. By the way, where is Ning Shichu? I couldn't get through to her on the phone."
Xi Ciming coughed lightly and said, "She went abroad to play with her friends. Maybe she was tired of me calling her all day long, so she turned off her phone." In fact, he knew that Ning Shichu was deliberately avoiding his parents, but he couldn't say that, so he had to take the blame himself.
"She actually went abroad to play at this time? And she turned off her phone. She is so ignorant!" Ning's father became even angrier. He felt that his daughter Ning Shichu was unreliable. The family's company encountered such a big crisis, but she not only did not think about asking her in-laws for help, but she also went abroad to play. It was really outrageous!
"Haha, son-in-law, even though Shichu is not here, it's almost the same for us to look for you." Ning's mother quickly grabbed her angry husband and said to Xi Ciming with a smile, reminding her husband that business is the most important thing and attacking their daughter is a trivial matter.
So Ning's father's attention finally returned to the main topic. He really told Xi Ciming that his company had offended Lehman Brothers, which led to serious losses. However, he embellished the cause and effect a lot and weakened Ning Zhiyi's responsibility a lot - after all, Ning Zhiyi was the heir of the Ning family, and Ning's father didn't want Xi Ciming to know that he had messed up his work for a woman.
Finally, Ning's father told his purpose. As expected, he wanted Xi Ciming to invest in Ning's Group to fill the funding gap and to be a guarantor to resolve the conflict with Lehman Brothers. If the conflict could not be resolved, he hoped that the Xi family could help find another way out for the Ning family...
Because of Ning Shichu's advance warning, Xi Ciming was naturally not confused by Ning's father's words. Instead, he understood the truth clearly. He thought that Ning's father would ask him for help, but he did not expect that Ning's father actually wanted him to solve all the crises.
This is a bit too much. He is just the son-in-law of the Ning family, but he has to take the responsibility for the trouble caused by his brother-in-law who is obsessed with sex and forgets his loyalty. He also spends a lot of money to solve the trouble for the Ning family... This is too much. Why do you ask the Xi family to sacrifice themselves to help the Ning family? Xi Ciming is not a fool. How can Ning's father say that he would dig out his own flesh and blood to subsidize the Ning family?
Xi Ciming seemed to be meeting his father-in-law for the first time. No wonder Ning Shichu had reminded him not to consider the friendship between the two families and help the Ning family without any bottom line. It turned out that it was because he had anticipated Ning's father's shamelessness.
As the helmsman of a listed company, Xi Ci Ming is not stupid but very shrewd. Therefore, when he heard Ning's father's request, he was not angry but spoke to him very patiently. Ning's father and mother were tricked by him and finally he said that he might not be able to help Ning's this time.
