Chapter 177 Gu Xia, can you forgive me?
The air was silent.
Zhou Yi was so frightened that he dared not breathe.
She always felt that Ning Anran was like a female ghost, watching over her and her brother's every move all the time.
"Didn't I tell you all this? If you still don't leave Qingshui City, don't blame me for being rude."
"I'm not a very patient person."
Standing in the restaurant's bathroom, Ning Anran looked at the smile that inadvertently appeared on her face, and she felt very unfamiliar with it.
But there's nothing I can do.
Just as she couldn't leave Gu Xia's side, Ning Anran couldn't ignore this group of people.
She hated the flies.
I've hated it since a long time ago.
There can only be me by Gu Xia's side, and no one else is allowed to approach or exceed a safe distance.
She didn't allow anyone to have any ambiguous thoughts about Gu Xia.
"Ning Anran, don't go too far!"
"You recognized me when I called you just now... right!"
"I'm telling you, I won't leave Qingshui City even if I die, even if you threaten me. If you have the guts, just kill me..."
Zhou Heng stood up and was about to snatch his sister's cell phone when he heard a knock on the door.
Then, the half-closed door was opened.
The owner of the house, Zhou Yi's classmate, looked at the two of them with an embarrassed expression.
She shook her head helplessly, followed by court staff in suits.
I had just called Gu Xia when Ning Anran's ambushes showed up at once!
How could Zhou Heng not have all sorts of thoughts in his mind? Besides, he didn't have to think about it, as he could guess the answer right away.
Ning Anran never gave up her plan to follow herself and her sister from the beginning to the end. She knew that she still had a backup plan and she was waiting for her to make a move.
See what kind of joke you will make?
The people from the court had serious expressions on their faces and started to check the identity information with documents in their hands.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, Ms. Zhou. Regarding your parents' debt, our court has summoned you. Mr. Zhou, have you ever been suspected of drunk driving? Did your parents use their connections to delete the surveillance video? Our court..."
Ning Anran dug out every little detail bit by bit, and exposed them to the sun.
Zhou Heng felt goose bumps all over his body.
The suffocating feeling that Ning Anran gave him was not a naked threat like putting a knife against his neck.
Instead, tell us about your most unbearable past, the things you are most afraid of others knowing, and the dire situations you least want to face.
She can create them all by herself.
It makes people feel like they are trapped in a dead end and hopeless, wishing they could just die.
Poverty and past scandals were the situations that Zhou Heng, who prided himself on being a refined and elegant young man, least wanted to face, especially in front of his sister.
He just felt humiliated.
Ning Anran might as well find someone to shoot himself instead of doing this.
Now he lives under someone else's roof and even has to stay at his sister's classmate's house.
Only my sister's classmates, who didn't know the seriousness of the matter and what happened to the Zhou family, would be willing to take them in.
Zhou Heng's former friends and classmates all knew that he had gotten into trouble with the Cheng family and were unwilling to lend a helping hand.
But they didn't know that the Cheng family was just a glove worn by Ning Anran. The one who really pushed his parents and the entire Zhou family business into a desperate situation was Ning Anran.
The new heir of the Ning family.
…
Listen to the noisy sound over there.
Ning Anran smiled sincerely this time, hung up the call, and put the phone in her pocket.
"Ning Anran, are you okay?"
The sound outside the bathroom door was very pleasant. Ning Anran nodded, walked out and saw Gu Xia waiting for her at the exit.
"I just had a phone call. Sorry, Xia Xia, I kept you waiting for a while."
"Will you forgive me?"
Hearing this, Gu Xia didn't think much about it. After all, Ning Anran was very busy now, and it was normal for her assistant to call her at this time.
"They both look quite normal now. Could it be that I was just overthinking it?"
Standing on the other side of the corridor, Yu Yingying clung to Gao Fei's body and peeked around.
"Aren't they always like this?"
"Or did you just do this just to quarrel with me?"
Gao Fei raised his hand and glanced at his watch. The time Ning Anran stayed in the bathroom was very reasonable, no more than three minutes.
That means she is most likely not dealing with any very difficult official business, and the possibility of this call being about official business is relatively small. Gao Fei is more inclined to believe that it is a private call to Ning Anran.
But if she could detect the loophole, how could Ning Anran, the person involved, not know about it?
Gao Fei immediately realized that Ning Anran was vaguely confessing herself to Gu Xia.
Ning Anran probably didn't want to say something directly, but she didn't want to keep deceiving and hiding things from Gu Xia.
That's why he keeps making mistakes in various small things, just to make Gu Xia notice it.
But Ning Anran overlooked one point. If Gu Xia really loved someone wholeheartedly, he would not have any doubts about that person.
Just like Gu Xia treats his own sister.
Gu Xia would not have any doubts about her biological sister Gu Lindong, nor would she be on guard against her sister.
This is how she shows her love for someone.
Even so, many people are saying that Gu Lindong will completely own the Gu Group in the future, and Gu Xia will not get any share of the property.
Gu Xia also didn't believe that her sister would treat her like this. If anyone said that, Gu Xia would definitely slap the person.
The man who was beaten was left with his teeth all over the floor.
But such rumors are not groundless.
After all, in a chaebol family, children compete for the family property, especially the eldest daughter and son, who rely on their early birth, work experience and status in the company to have a strong sense of presence in front of their parents.
It is easy to gain real power in the company and exclude one's younger brothers and sisters.
In families with better circumstances, the eldest daughter and son who have inherited the company in full will leave shares and dividends to their younger siblings.
It is enough for them to live a life of luxury and debauchery outside and not focus on their work.
But about 70% of them are people who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes and completely drive their younger brothers and sisters out - this kind of driving out is of course not in the literal sense. After all, anyone who really does this will have to bear the infamy for the rest of his life.
The eldest son or daughter who owns the family property often divides the property into several parts. The younger brothers and sisters can take a few shares of the assets that are not presentable and then they can all get out and divide the family property.
This situation is extremely common among aristocratic families. Generally speaking, the patriarch of a large family will not step in to stop it. After all, if the family shares are divided into smaller and smaller shares, it is not a good thing for the entire company.
Only with complete control can the company's operation be guaranteed to be intact and prevented from being encroached upon by outsiders.
Therefore, many times, chaebol families will only recognize an heir who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. As for other illegitimate children and children born out of second marriage, they will just send a few checks and get rid of them in a hurry.
In a situation like Ning Anran's, it was a completely chosen start.
However, after God gave Ning Anran everything perfect, he cruelly deprived her of more than 20 years of happiness.
This led to her becoming what she is now.
Ning Anran used all means to hold on to Gu Xia, and at the same time, he was holding on to his own crumbling self.
