Ning Zhe naturally knew what was in Ning Chun’s mind. They were familiar with Ning Xia’s personality. In the past, although they continued to try and win her over and make amends, they knew the possibility of her changing her mind was almost zero.
Hence, they were thoroughly shocked when Ning Xia first reached out.
Ning Zhe had been relieved and delighted when Ning Xia accepted his money. However, at the same time, he could not help but feel suspicious. After all, this was completely different from what he understood of Ning Xia.
In the past, no matter how difficult things were for Ning Xia, she never used a single cent of the Ning family’s money. Whether it was cash or card, she would return them untouched.
After marrying into the Mu family, Ning Xia’s situation had naturally improved. However, she suddenly accepted his money. Out of curiosity, he had asked Ning Chun to track her spending habits. Ning Chun had reported that she spent her money on beauty treatments, bags, and clothes. It seemed like she was very good at spending money; her spending habits were that of a Young Miss from a wealthy family.
Ning Xia had never been like this. No matter how much one changed, it would not be so drastic.
“There’s nothing else you found out from the Mu family?” Ning Zhe asked, still unwilling to give up.
Ning Chun shook his head. “The Mu family’s helpers are all very tightlipped. Those who can be bribed aren’t important enough to know anything. However, what I know is everyone in the Mu family has some complaints about the Young Miss.”
Ning Zhe’s frown deepened. “Why is it like this?”
None of them had an answer.
After a moment, Ning Zhe sighed and said, “Help me prepare some gifts. I’ll personally visit Old Madam Mu. No matter what, she has to return to the Mu family. Losing her identity as the Young Madam of the Mu family isn’t beneficial to us and her.”
Ning Chun nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a knock rang from the door.
When the door opened, Ning Dong walked in holding a tray. “Dad, I’m back.”
Ning Dong placed the tray that held a cup of coffee and a plate of snacks on the table. He had been preparing tea-time snacks for his father every day. Even if he were not at home, the helpers would send it to Ning Zhe on his behalf.
Ning Zhe’s expression softened. “You’re back early today.”
Ning Dong stood at the side and said, “There’s no afternoon class today so I came back early to see if there’s anything you need my help with.”
Ning Zhe was very satisfied with Ning Dong’s diligence. He was even more satisfied that Ning Dong was admitted to M University. For these reasons, he had brought Ning Dong to the company with him, showing him the ropes.
Ning Zhe looked at Ning Dong and said, “Your sister is back.”
Ning Dong looked at Ning Zhe, confused, before a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face. “Really? Sister is finally willing to come back?”
After saying that, he seemed to realize he had misspoken. He hurriedly said, “Dad, I’ll tell the cook to prepare something delicious for Sister. Is she alone? Are my brother-in-law and nephew here as well?”
Ning Zhe shifted his gaze away from his son. He was very satisfied with his son’s reaction. He replied, “She’ll only be here for two days. Your brother-in-law and your nephew aren’t here.”
Ning Dong was stunned. After a moment, he asked, “Was Sister bullied?”
Ning Zhe did not say anything so Ning Dong turned to look at Ning Chun, who lowered his head immediately. With that, he said indignantly, “I’m going to settle the score with Mu Chen! How dare he bully my sister!”
After saying that, Ning Dong turned around and strode to the door.
Ning Chun hurriedly pulled Ning Dong back. “Young Master, wait!”
Ning Dong shook Ning Chun off. “Why must I wait? My sister was bullied and even had to return to her maiden home. Can’t I even stand up for her? They’ve gone too far! I must let them know that my sister has a brother who’ll stand up for her!”
When Ning Chun finally managed to calm Ning Dong down, he said, “Young Master, please listen to what Master has to say first.”
