Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Accountability, How Did I Not Know That the Ji Family Invested? Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Accountability, How Did I Not Know That the Ji Family Invested? Ning Yichu’s mind was in total chaos, with countless thoughts flying about. Holding Fan Yuke’s hand, she said, “I’ll go to the hospital for a thorough checkup this afternoon. You must keep this a secret, okay?”
“Okay.” Fan Yuke nodded, and seeing her cautious deanor, couldn’t help but silently mouth, “Scumbag Li’s?”
Ning Yichu cleared her throat, unable to utter a word of denial, she could only silently nod in agreent. However, her heart was filled with nurous doubts. She had been pregnant before and knew what pregnancy reactions were like, yet her current situation seed slightly different.
Could it be because she was pregnant with a second child that her body had changed?
Fan Yuke’s long eyelashes fluttered non-stop as she clasped her wildly beating heart with one hand, feeling almost faint on behalf of Ning Yichu. This was a ss!
After calming down for a while, Ning Yichu stuffed the remaining pregnancy tests into her bag and pretended as if nothing had happened as she returned to the restaurant to continue eating.
Mommy Zhuo asked with concern a few tis, but Ning Yichu and Fan Yuke rely ntioned stomach discomfort.
Just as they had begun eating, Ning Yichu’s phone suddenly rang.
After connecting, Director Zhao’s voice ca from the ntal health clinic, “Lady Ning, there’s trouble. The Ning Family has arrived and insists on seeing your mother. We can’t stop them. Please co quickly…”
Ning Yichu’s breath tightened upon hearing this. She could no longer care about her physical examination and hurriedly greeted the others before rushing to the ntal health clinic.
On the way there, Ning Yichu learned that two won from the Ning Family had arrived, even bringing bodyguards, and finally, they had distressed Mrs. Ning!
Upon arriving at the hospital, her heart was anxious. Just as she stepped out of the elevator into the corridor, she saw a middle-aged noblewoman complaining to a pretty young girl, “Your aunt really knows how to stir trouble. We hardly said anything, and she had an episode! It really scared to death…”
“Mom, I told you, we should avoid such unlucky places. Even if we need allies, this mad woman is so unpredictable,” the pretty woman scornfully said, staring at the hospital room.
“She might be unreliable, but she also has a daughter. If we can get Ning Yichu on our side, two against one, the eldest branch certainly can’t compete…” the middle-aged noblewoman speculated with a face full of sches and frustration.
“Mom, look quick, the mad woman’s daughter is here—” the pretty girl suddenly exclaid.
The middle-aged noblewoman turned around and indeed saw Ning Yichu, a gleam of brightness and jealousy flashing in her eyes. Ning Yichu had perfectly inherited her mother’s good traits—no, she was even more beautiful.
The old man, upon seeing his beautiful granddaughter, might be so pleased he’d allocate more shares to her.
“Chu Chu? You must be Chu Chu, right? I’m your aunt…” Liang Qin squeezed out a smile and warmly approached her.
Ning Yichu stared straight at the woman in front of her. Not long after her mother had given birth to her, she beca ntally ill, and the Ning Family, deeming them a disgrace, had driven them out. From that mont, she no longer recognized any aunt.
“I and my mother have long severed ties with the Ning Family. What aunt are you supposed to be?” Thinking of her mother being agitated again, Ning Yichu angrily stepped forward and grabbed her by the collar, her gaze icy.
“Ning Yichu, how can you talk to my mom like that? She’s your elder, let go imdiately!” Ning Yaoyao saw this and imdiately started complaining, stepping forward to pull at Ning Yichu’s arm.
Ning Yichu wrenched her arm away in response. Elders? She had lost her elders over twenty years ago!
Seven years ago, her scandal of sharing a bed with Li Lingyang had gone viral, and when soone dug into her background, they discovered she was the granddaughter of a grandee from Imperial City. The revelation had caused quite a stir.
But how had the Ning Family responded?
She still rembered how Ning Family had said that Mrs. Ning was dead and that she had no relation with the Ning Family anymore!
They didn’t want anyone to know they had a daughter with ntal illness, they went so far as to claim that both mother and daughter were dead…
How could such selfish and heartless family mbers shalessly claim to be elders?
“Chu Chu, let go first. Auntie didn’t an to upset your mother. She heard your mother is much better now and wants to discuss a good opportunity with her…” Liang Qin’s eyes flashed with displeasure, yet she forcefully softened her tone.
Ning Yichu took a deep breath; now was not the ti to argue with her, what mattered more was her mother’s condition!
“Chu Chu, your aunt didn’t expect your mother’s ntal state to still be this unstable…” Liang Qin suppressed her annoyance, and considering the current situation of the Ning Family, she persuaded further, “Actually, the Ning Family has opened several top sanatoriums over the years. If you’re willing to properly discuss with your aunt, she can help transfer your mother there where she will be well taken care of. Moreover, it will help you return to the Ning Family and beco the young lady of the Ning Family, and then nobody will dare to bully you.”
Ning Yichu suddenly turned, her gaze cold and unflinching as she stared at her, as emotionless as if she were looking at a dead person.
She knew the mbers of Ning Family all too well, every one of them selfish and greedy, putting reputation above everything else.
Her return as the young miss? That would happen only if the sun rose from the west.
As Liang Qin t her icy gaze, her heart suddenly sank.
After so many years, this damned girl had beco so imposing?
“Ms. Liang, please listen clearly, it’s not the first ti you’ve harassed my mother. I didn’t hold it against you before, but now, if anything unexpected happens to my mother, I will hold you responsible. Whether I call the police or contact the dia and let it beco a big issue, see what those in the Ning Family who value reputation think of it, don’t bla for not warning you!”
“Mom, let’s go…” Ning Yaoyao was also afraid that making a scene would alert the main branch of their plans, she spoke up.
Liang Qin was extrely unwilling, and said in a low voice, “Are you really content? To be the rightful heir of the Ning Family, yet end up with nothing and abandoned by the Li Family…”
“Security, please escort them out!”
“You—” Liang Qin hadn’t expected her to be so tough to crack; infuriated, she had no choice but to leave first.
Not long after Liang Qin left, Mrs. Ning woke up, her condition had stabilized a lot, a new dication was gradually helping her recognize people again, and if she were to be provoked by those shaless villains from Ning Family again, she would definitely not let them go…
Li Mansion.
When the final race of the Heritage Competition began, Li Lingyang just happened to have a eting, so he didn’t attend the event.
He found out later only because the organizers inford him that there had been a change in the competition’s events.
The duration had even escalated from 24 hours to 48 hours.
“Ji Shiwang?” Li Lingyang heard Ji Shiwang had made it to the finals and had asked the organizers to change the events, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, “When did the Ji Family start investing? How co I wasn’t aware?”
The displeasure was clear in his voice; after all, Li Group was the sole sponsor, yet they didn’t notify him, the sponsor, about the change in the competition’s events right away…
