Chapter 112: Pheasants are also worthy of being called Phoenix
If Gu Xia were asked to give the most pitiful look in the world, he would probably give it to Ning Anran without hesitation.
Whether it is before or after "awakening".
Ning Anran rarely took the initiative to keep me. She would either remain silent and pack her things without saying a word.
Or he would look at the weather outside the window and whisper that it would rain today, asking her to remember to bring an umbrella so as not to get wet.
This was the first time that Ning Anran took the initiative to request to stay.
Gu Xia felt that he had no way to refuse Ning Anran's request.
But she couldn't let go of her beloved sister.
"Alas, host, being greedy is not advisable~ Please remember to be cautious! Don't bring trouble upon yourself~"
Everyone knows the principle of keeping things balanced, right?
But it was so difficult to implement. Gu Xia looked at Ning Anran and then at his dear sister.
Caught in a dilemma.
Seeing her sister's entanglement, Gu Lindong loosened her fingers. She was a little annoyed, but she also understood that it was normal for Ning Anran to not know the twists and turns of the Ning family as she had just returned.
"Ms. Ning, although you may not be an employee of my company anymore, I still want to tell you that my request from the beginning to the end is that you must not wrong my sister."
When Gu Xia pushed Ning Anran in, Gu Lindong gave Ning Anran a direct green channel to take up the position.
This was not because Gu Lindong was attracted by Ning Anran's status as a top student at the Imperial Capital University, but because Gu Xia liked her.
She is such a person who would lower her bottom line for her sister.
"I know, I won't let anything happen to Xia Xia."
Looking down at the two people's intertwined hands, Ning Anran's voice was soft but firm.
Ning Anran knew that it was unreasonable for her to ask to continue meeting Gu Xia now.
But she just couldn't help wanting to see Gu Xia again.
The thought of being abandoned at any time lingered in Ning Anran's mind and was almost becoming an indelible shadow in her heart.
…
Ning Jin stared at the guests coming and going in the hall, watching their gazes fall on his face.
Let out a light snort.
This group of people are so obsessed with currying favor with the powerful. I used to be the eldest daughter of Yuanye Group, and they are so eager to wag their tails and beg for mercy like a lapdog that they are too devoted to me.
But now I am down and out.
After becoming a "fake daughter" with nothing, these people began to avoid me like the plague.
"Hey, isn't this our Xiao Jin?"
"Why, are you unhappy?"
"How about I treat you to a drink tonight?"
A flat-looking man came over, accompanied by a woman with heavy makeup.
Ning Jin naturally knew who these two people were. As a branch of the Ning family, they had been bossed around by him many times in the past.
So what if I don’t have any outstanding talents? So what if I am just a rich second generation who does nothing but idle away my time?
Then she is still the direct descendant of the Ning family and owns most of the Ning's assets, and this group of poor relatives with no money and power can only please her.
If you are happy, you can reward them with two resources. If you are unhappy, they will suffer.
But now I have nothing.
Even her origin was ridiculed by others, saying that she was not a real phoenix but a bird's egg secretly laid by a cuckoo.
"Brother, why are you being so nice to her? Everyone is busy trying to please the real eldest daughter of the first house!"
"This... a pheasant with a few feathers stuck on it, is it worthy of being called a phoenix?"
"That's really laughable. Let's go, brother. Even if you want to find someone, find someone of equal status."
The sharp and piercing sound made Ning Jin raise his eyes and look at them, with a nameless anger rising in his heart.
Ning Jin finally swallowed it down. What they said was unpleasant, but it was the truth.
She is indeed no longer the powerful eldest daughter of the Ning family, nor is she the heir to the Yuanye Group.
"You two, isn't it rude to make such a loud noise here?"
Gu Lindong was full of anger and didn't know where to vent it, so he happened to run into Ning Jin who was being bullied as soon as he came out.
To be honest, she didn't want to get involved in the Ning family's affairs at all.
If she hadn't considered Xia Xia's feelings today, she would have just asked her assistant to come over.
But what else can I do for my own sister?
I can only spoil her and continue to pamper her!
"Isn't this your Ning family's ancestral hall? If you gossip here, be careful that our ancestors hear you. When we get back, a thunderbolt will strike you into pieces."
This sentence is actually not Gu Lindong's style, but Gu Lindong asked it in his friend group.
For example, [I have a friend's sister who likes a female student from Didu University and insists on going to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors. What are the consequences?]
As one of the major sponsors of the Taoist temple friends exchange group, Gu Lindong's ID was remembered by many Taoist priests as soon as it appeared.
So the Taoist priests all gave "thoughtful" answers.
[My dear friend, you must not do this. It is dangerous!]
"Master Yuheng is right. This is a grave taboo, cutting off someone's incense offerings! If your friend's sister has the same intention, she shouldn't be so lawless in the ancestral temple. If the ancestor sends down a thunderbolt, her life will be in danger!"
[You old antiques, the ancestors in this world are not unkind. Maybe there won't be a thunder tribulation after you go there!]
The miscellaneous discussions made Gu Lindong even more worried about his sister.
She was used to worshipping Buddha and gods, and it was because Gu Xia had poor health when he was a child and the doctors were helpless.
Gu Lindong sought medical help but to no avail, and in the end he could only pray to all the gods and Buddhas to protect his sister's safety.
Ning Jin looked up at Gu Lindong's back, confused for a moment. He wondered what was wrong with this man's mind that he would want to stand in front of him and block the rumors for him.
It was clear that the two of them were arguing fiercely at the door of the lounge just now, one wanted to open the door and the other didn't let him open it.
"Mr. Gu, you misunderstood... We haven't seen each other for a long time, we were just chatting!"
When the man saw Gu Lindong's familiar face, he immediately gave in and muttered in his heart.
I don’t know whether the rumor circulating in Qingshui City is true or not.
If it is true, I am afraid that the Gu family can also get help from the Ning family!
By then, the Gu family, which was already on the rise, will become increasingly prosperous!
The old man and the old lady finally found their granddaughter, so they will definitely give her everything she wants.
"Really? Well, I'm sorry, I have something to talk to Miss Ning about. I'm sorry to have interrupted your greetings."
Unfortunately, this is the Ning family's ancestral hall, and Gu Lindong also knows how to keep a low profile and does not intend to make much noise with these side branches who look down on others.
Besides, she simply couldn't stand others taking advantage of their power to bully others. As for Ning Jin, Gu Lindong could deal with the matter without being personal.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Gu, if you have anything to say, please speak slowly. Let's go to the side and cool down!"
The man put on grease and immediately ran away with his sister.
They have worked hard in this big family and have the ability to bully others, and naturally they also have the spirit of being able to bend and stretch.
