During the argunt, Ji Yebai pushed the door open and walked in.
Ning Xixi blinked at Ji Yebai, "Dabai, this contract, will you sign it for , please~"
Understanding the situation, Ji Yebai feigned pondering for a mont, then sneered, "Xixi, are you with just for the benefits?"
"Yeah, what else could it be? True love??"
The two played off each other, leaving Ning Jingshen and Lu Qinghe utterly bewildered!
What was going on here?
"If you don’t love , why should I sign this contract!" Ji Yebai slamd his hand down on the table with a smack, his presence commanding, as the dishes on the table shook.
Ning Jingshen beca anxious, "Ji Yebai, that’s not fair! Xixi has been close to you since childhood, with deep feelings. Even if there’s no love, at least... there is friendship, isn’t there? And affection, right? With these feelings alone, what’s wrong with signing a contract?"
"Uncle, is my relationship with her really worth ten billion?" Ji Yebai clutched his chest, his handso face full of surprise.
Lu Qinghe chid in, "How can it not be worth it! True love is priceless!"
Ning Xixi had been waiting for just this line, her lips curving into a slight arc, "Eh? I seem to recall soone just the other day despairingly advising to leave Ji Yebai, so as not to drag down the Ning Family and the Lu Family. Could I have rembered it wrong?"
Ning Jingshen: "..."
Lu Qinghe: "..."
Ji Yebai put on a just-inford expression, "Erxi, they actually forced you to leave ?"
"Yeah!" Ning Xixi nodded her head.
"With such family mbers, if we don’t sever ties, what are we saving them for, the New Year?" Ji Yebai’s smile faded, his expression becoming cold and forbidding, a chilling aura swirling around him.
Even though Ning Xixi had already ntioned once that her family pressured her to study abroad and stay away from him, hearing it again made him furious!
What enraged him wasn’t the separation, but the fact that the Ning Family didn’t consider Ning Xixi a person at all!
They desired a commodity to be traded for the benefit of the family’s wealth, not a smart, cute, and well-behaved daughter!
Ning Jingshen and Lu Qinghe finally realized that they were being played by these two!
Damn it, they were nearly a hundred years old combined, and yet two youngsters had outsmarted them!
"Ten billion is just a trifle to the Ji Family!" Ning Jingshen raised his chin, "As long as you agree to sign this docunt, I will consent to Xixi marrying you!"
"Wow, so I’m worth ten billion, huh." Ning Xixi’s smile was full of sarcasm.
Lu Qinghe accused, "Xixi, at a ti like this, you’re still speaking in such a sarcastic tone! Your father wouldn’t be begging Ji Yebai if he wasn’t desperate. You won’t even help him, and instead, side with soone outside the family!"
"A married daughter is like spilled water!" Ning Jingshen lanted with pounding on his chest, appearing deeply upset.
"Think about all that the Ning Family has given you over the years, the best schools you attended, the most expensive clothes and jewelry you wore. Think of your mother, if the Ning Company fails, could she rest in peace in heaven?"
The mother was Ning Xixi’s Achilles heel.
She put away her smile, a frost gathering in her eyes.
"You have no right to ntion my mother! You’re not worthy! But—you did remind ." Ning Xixi held a cool smile, "When my mother married Mr. Ning, she didn’t co empty-handed... The Ning Company has fifty percent of her shares, which were her investnt, part of her premarital assets..."
