Ning Shu accepted the money. She already had money, quite a lot of it in fact, but every time she came back to visit, Father Ni would give her more money out of worry that she wouldn’t have enough to spend.

  Ni Jing couldn’t have children and she had married the only son of the Jing family. He was worried that her daughter would be bullied in that household since she didn’t have a child.

  Father Ni was worried that Ni Jing wouldn’t be able to keep her head up at the Jing family, but if she only used the Ni family’s money, she had every right to keep her chest up high.

  It was said that married daughters were split water, but the Ni family parents loved Ni Jing dearly and were always worried about her.

  Ning Shu said to Father Ni, “Thank you.”


  “You’re my daughter, there’s no need for thanks.” Father Ni’s expression turned solemn. “Your mother and I also feel sad seeing you like this. We failed to give you a healthy body.”


  Ning Shu smiled and said, “It’s ok.”


  There was nothing they could do about this. No one ever wanted to get sick.

  In life, with every loss, came some form of gain. Ni Jing didn’t have a healthy body, but she was born in a wealthy family. Hence she didn’t need to work hard for a living and could live in peace.

  However, Ni Jing ended up marrying Jing Shaoze, and Jing Shaoze then encountered Ye Xi.

  So that was the start of the tragedy.

  “If you suffer grievances at the Jing family, just come back home. Dad will support you,” said Father Ni. “We don’t need to lower our heads to them.”


  “Ok.” Soon, she’d probably really have to come back here.

  Once she left the Ni family’s house, she considered things and decided to visit the Jing family’s company. Perhaps she’d be able to encounter a usually censored scene.

  Perhaps she’d even be able to catch them pulling their pants up in a fluster.

  When she got to the company, she was able to walk all the way to the CEO’s office without anyone blocking her way. Upon opening the door, she found that Jing Shaoze and Ye Xi were in the middle of feeding each other. They were so close that their heads were about to touch.

  The atmosphere was very sweet. It was so sweet that people practically felt slapped by cold dog food.

  “Who allowed……” When Ning Shu opened the door, Jing Shaoze immediately stood up and roared angrily at her. However, once he saw that it was Ning Shu, the anger on his face immediately disappeared and he asked stiffly, “What brings you here today?”


  When Ye Xi turned around and saw Ning Shu, her face turned pale and her chopsticks fell to the ground. She immediately bent down to pick them up in a fluster.

  She looked about to cry.

  Jing Shaoze frowned, then put on a gentle expression and quickly walked to Ning Shu. He took out a handkerchief to dab at the sweat on Ning Shu’s forehead as he asked, “Why didn’t you call me when you arrived? I would have gone downstairs to meet you.”


  Ning Shu said with a smile, “I just came here to visit you. Are you guys having lunch right now?”


  “Yeah, I asked Secretary Ye to bring me lunch. Do you want some?” Jing Shaoze’s face was pretty much overflowing with gentleness. “Actually, forget it, let’s go to a restaurant for lunch. You probably won’t like the company’s food.”


  As Jing Shaoze spoke, he pulled Ning Shu out of the office. “It’s so rare for you to come here, so I’ll take you to eat some delicious food.”


  Jing Shaoze shot Ye Xi a look, but Ye Xi was so flustered that she completely didn’t get what Jing Shaoze was trying to convey.

  When Jing Shaoze saw how frightened Ye Xi was, he couldn’t help but frown. He had no choice but to keep talking to Ning Shu to divert her attention.

  Ning Shu expressed that she wasn’t a child so there was no way she’d be distracted by just a couple words. However, she had no intentions of paying attention to this in the first place.

  So she just skimped over the subject. Even if she tried to demand answers from Jing Shaoze, he would just come up with all sorts of reasons to dodge her.

  The only things she’d get to hear were Jing Shaoze’s disgusting lies, so she might as well save herself that unpleasant experience.

  “You showered?” asked Ning Shu. Jing Shaoze smelled strongly of bath gel so it was obvious that he had showered just a little while ago.
