Chapter 1155: Chapter 1156: Everything is Suspicious
But ng Chaojun did not ask any more questions, nor did he say anything else.
Duan Qingqing had thought he would inquire about how the child was dealt with, but he did not.
She took a shower, changed into her pajamas, lifted the covers, and gently laid down beside him, her back turned to him, silently letting out a sigh of relief.
What she did not know was that when she turned off the bedside lamp, ng Chaojun had opened his eyes again.
In the past, as soon as Duan Qingqing got into bed she would lean towards him, tenderly nestling into his arms. It was because of this that he saw her as a delicate woman, capable of arousing his protective instincts and pity.
These past few days, as he was not well, she had been restless, incessantly snuggling up to him as soon as they went to bed.
How could he not be aware of her longing?
Yet tonight, after she got into bed, she not only didn’t touch him but also turned her back to him. After lying down, she was very quiet and did not toss and turn.
There was also sothing else, when she had just co back, he detected a faint scent of soap.
He had never slled this scent on her before.
ng Chaojun was also sowhat puzzled. Previously, his sense of sll had not been so good. Why could he detect even such a faint sll of soap this ti?
And he did not understand why, after returning ho with the child to her mother’s house, Duan Qingqing needed to take a bath?
If it was because the child had soiled her clothes, he hadn’t noticed; her outfit was still the sa one from before. There were clothes for her to change into at her family’s house, so if her clothes had indeed been dirty, she could have easily changed.
ng Chaojun felt waves of coldness in his heart and ultimately did not know how he managed to fall asleep.
That day, he ultimately did not get to drink the Potion that Chiang Xiao was supposed to cook for him.
That night, ng Donghai also did not know how he eventually fell asleep.
The degree of ng Xinian’s heartlessness caused him much sorrow and loss. This ti, this grandson he had always worried about was directly collapsing all of their houses, and they were utterly powerless to retaliate.
But whom could they bla for this?
Just as ng Xinian had said, were they to bla him?
What did their actions have to do with him?
One could only say that ng Xinian saw things more clearly than he did, having long known the extent of the corruption among the ng, Duan, and Zhang families, which is why he had been preparing early on and had been gathering this information for years.
He was both shocked and saddened by his eldest grandson’s behavior.
It turned out that the family power he cherished and wanted to solidify ant nothing to ng Xinian. Not only did he not want it, but he also wanted to destroy it.
But, could he say that what ng Xinian was doing was wrong?
They were the ones who first made a move against Chiang Xiao.
They were the ones who first hurt ng Xinian.
He knew well how much he valued Chiang Xiao, how much he liked her, and ng Chaojun probably knew too.
But knowing this, they still planned to tear Chiang Xiao from his side, not allowing him to marry her and not willing to let her go; that’s why they thought of arranging her to be with Zhang Junyuan.
Looking back, how shaless a move that was!
No wonder Chiang Xiao stopped caring about them, knowing that ng Chaojun suffered splitting headaches and needed her Potion, yet she could ignore it completely.
She is a person, a very intelligent girl, not an object to be arranged at their discretion. How could she feel comfortable with that?
It was said that Chiang Xiao was extrely proud.
Her previous tolerance, without anger or complaint, must have been very hard on her already.
If ng Chaojun were not Xinian’s father, she certainly would not have let him off.
But, to think that they would give the ng family ancestral ho to Chiang Xiao, this was too shocking for him.
This was the ancestral ho.
Though the house was currently in his na and he had full authority to deal with it, would his elder brother’s family be willing to let him transfer the ancestral ho out?
Even if ng Xinian and Chiang Xiao were married and legally husband and wife, they would definitely not agree to it—let alone the fact that they were not yet married now.
The world is unpredictable; their feelings are good now, but who knows about the future?
Just like ng Chaojun and Mother Xinian, didn’t they start out with a great relationship too?
But what about later?
What if they separated in the future. Wouldn’t the ng family lose the ancestral ho to soone else?
If word got out, he would have no face left to et his ancestors.
Old ng kept pondering these thoughts, writhing with conflict, pain, regret, sorrow, and helplessness, and eventually did not know when he fell asleep.
The next day, he was awakened by the sound of an ambulance.
He sat up from the bed in an instant, hurriedly ran out without even taking the ti to put on a coat.
“What’s happened, what’s happened?”
ng Xinian had just carried ng Chaojun down.
Duan Qingqing, with tears in her eyes, followed beside them.
“Chao Jun has been complaining of a headache since the early hours and has been holding on, but in the morning, he couldn’t bear it any longer and passed out!”
