Seeing Qu Li’s face turn ugly bit by bit, Ning Chen’s tone became colder.
“Third, you have no rights to negotiate with me. Not now, not ever.”
It was the most important thing.
Why did the mother and daughter come to him with such aggression? Did they really think that Ning Chen would be afraid of them?
If Ning Chen wanted to, he could make these people disappear from M City right now.
It was unknown whether Qu Li hadn’t thought of this, or it slipped her mind. How pathetic it was for her to come in all high and mighty.
As the sound of Ning Chen’s voice faded, Qu Li’s face turned completely pale.
It seemed that if they did not get serious, the Ning family would not give up the betrothal money!
The last trace of subtlety left Qu Li’s face. The corner of her mouth curled into a sneer. She raised her thin, willow-like eyebrows and raised her chin to look at Ning Chen. Her tone was a little vicious and crazy.
“Since you are not willing to give us the betrothal money, then don’t blame us for not being polite. We have already contacted the reporters. If you don’t care about your reputation, then we shall see who has the last laugh!”
Qu Li originally thought that after saying these words, Ning Chen would be afraid.
After all, for such a prominent family, the most important thing was still reputation. Back then, Ning Chen was kept in the dark about marrying Qin Yu. After suffering such a huge embarrassment, the Ning family didn’t have much reactions, this was enough to prove that they still didn’t dare to suffer a fall out with the Shi family.
This time, Qu Li thought that it would be similar as last time. When she used the Ning family’s reputation to threaten Ning Chen, he would compromise.
Unexpectedly, the corner of Ning Chen’s mouth curled up into a mocking smile. Although his eyes were empty and lifeless, his handsome face was full of confidence. “Since Madam Qu is so bold, let’s give it a try.”
“You –” Qu Li was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet. Just as she revealed a shrewd look, a gentle and gentle voice came from upstairs. “Mom, how did your conversation with Mr. Ning went?”
Of course it didn’t go well — Qin Yu, who was being held down by Shi Xiao, secretly rolled her eyes.
Qu Li restrained the anger and hatred on her face, with her tone a little unnatural as she said, “We’ll talk about this later. Xiaoxiao, did you have fun with your sister? Both of you grew up together. Now that Xiao Yu is married, you must miss her very much, right?”
“Yes, that’s why I told Xiao Yu that I want to stay at the Ning family to accompany her. She also said that there’s no one here for her. She really misses the days she spent with me in the past. Mr. Ning, you won’t mind me disturbing your family for a few days, right?” The Shi family revealed a gentle and bashful smile, looking at Ning Chen somewhat timidly.
Ning Chen’s pupils contracted imperceptibly and quickly returned to normal. He said calmly, “If Xiao Yu agrees, I have no objections.”
Shi Xiao originally thought that Ning Chen would decline, but she did not expect Ning Chen to agree immediately.
Indeed, it was Qin Yu, this fool, who was fooling her!
This fool actually had a mind of his own. Could it be that after she got married, her brains were a little better?
Shi Xiao held onto Qin Yu’s arm. Her fingertips exerted a little force, and her sharp nails poked into Qin Yu’s soft skin. Qin Yu frowned in pain.
Qin Yu struggled free from Shi Xiao and ran to Ning Chen. She looked at Ning Chen with a frown, as he gently coaxed Qin Yu, “Are you hungry? Since your sister is here to accompany you, let’s prepare a few more dishes to welcome her tonight, okay?”
Qin Yu lowered her head silently. She didn’t seem to be very willing, but she didn’t dare say anything.
Seeing that Ning Chen and Qin Yu did not seem to have a tacit understanding, Shi Xiao immediately felt relieved.
“Xiaoxiao, your sister doesn’t know anything. Since you’re staying here, teach her well. Don’t let others say that our Shi family doesn’t have any upbringing. I’ll be leaving first.” Qu Li waved at Shi Xiao, and both mother and daughter secretly exchanged a look.
Shi Xiao stayed at the Ning family while Qu Li continued to take the bus home alone.
On the first night, Qin Yu was forced to sleep in separate beds with Ning Chen because Shi Xiao said that she wanted to spend some intimate time with her sister.
“Mr. Ning, I haven’t seen her for so long. I wonder if I can sleep with her tonight? When she was young, I was always the one who told her stories to coax her to sleep. You won’t mind, right?” Shi Xiao smiled innocently, it was as if she really missed her sister very much.
Ning Chen looked at the empty air and was silent for a moment before nodding. “Okay.”
That night, Qin Yu and Shi Xiao slept in the same room, but not on the same bed.
“You will sleep on the floor!” Shi Xiao locked the door and sprawled on the bed. Then, she yelled at Qin Yu..
