Qu Li casually pointed at the gifts which were piled up into a small hill.

“Speaking of which, the Ning family has some ulterior motives. Otherwise, why would they send so many gifts over?

“I’m telling you, Shi Yong, stand strong! You’re now the Ning family’s eldest young master’s father-in-law. There’s no need to fawn over him. We raised Qin Yu, so it’s only right for her to show filial piety!

“That wretched girl actually told Ning Chen about the 1000 yuan. Such a rich family actually had the audacity to ask for that. Bah! What a joke!

Shi Yong pointed at Qu Li, his lips trembling. He couldn’t say a word.

Then, he put down his hand dejectedly.

What reasoning could he have with such a woman?

Ning Chen’s words had been shocking to him; he was afraid that he would have a hard time getting past this hurdle.

Now, he could only count on Xiaoyu, and he hoped that Ning Chen would let him off for her sake.

He had really been blinded by his own desires. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

He had actually been persuaded by this mother and daughter pair to marry Xiaoyu off.

However, he was glad that he chose Xiaoyu instead. At least Ning Chen was quite devoted to her.

Wait a minute!

What did Ning Chen say before he left?

Business was business, but Xiaoyu was his?

What did he mean?

So, Ning Chen wouldn’t disrupt the Shi Group’s backup plan?

He fell onto the sofa and rubbed his face hard.

His distress worried Qu Li and Shi Xiao.

Qu Li motioned for Shi Xiao to stop crying, and she asked carefully, “Hubby, what are you so anxious about?” He couldn’t be bothered to look at her as he replied tiredly.

“I’m afraid that Ning Chen will shut down the Shi Group tomorrow.”

Qu Li’s eyes widened. “No, that can’t be, right?”

She hurriedly sat beside Shi Yong.

“Hubby, I’ve asked around. Although Ning Chen is doted on by Elder Ning in the Ning family, he doesn’t have much real power.

“The Ning family’s second wife and third wives are quite authoritative, especially the second wife. That’s the main pillar of the Ning family.

“Even if Ning Chen has been cheated by us this time, he can’t say anything about it. That’s because those two wives are observing his reactions.

“Moreover, on the night of their wedding, Elder Ning flew to Europe and won’t be back for a while. Ning Chen doesn’t have any say in the Ning Group’s decisions. Who did you listen to to be this misled?”

Shi Yong stood up abruptly. He roared, “Then whose lies have you been listening to?! Who told you that Ning Chen doesn’t have real power? Who told you that the second branch of the Ning family holds the most authority?

“I used the most reliable connections to find out that the next head of the Ning Family is Ning Chen. No matter how arrogant the second branch of the Ning family is, they still have to be under the control of the head of the family!

“Their big family has a lot of rules! Ning Chen keeps a low profile, but that doesn’t mean that he can be bullied as anyone pleases!”

Shi Xiao stopped crying and muttered, “Then, wouldn’t that idiot, Qin Yu, become the wife of the head of the Ning Family?”

Qu Li glanced at her daughter. This realization was also something that she was horrified about.

Shi Yong looked at them, and he sighed.

“So, from now on, regardless of whether you do it with sincerity or you’re faking it, you have to treat Xiaoyu better!

“I can see that Ning Chen likes her very much. If we can make him happy through Xiaoyu, it will only be good for us. If you continue to bully her and anger him, it won’t be good for us at all.

“Do you understand?”

The mother and daughter looked at each other. What about the money?

They had wanted to kill three birds with one stone. So far, they had only achieved one goal, which was to get Qin Yu to marry in Shi Xiao’s stead.

However, they had never expected that Qin Yu would actually end up with such a treasure!

What about the betrothal gifts and inheritance? They had to get it before Ning Chen found out about it.

At night, after Qin Yu took her shower, she wore the cartoon pajamas that Sister Yu had chosen for her. She carried her tablet and hopped into Ning Chen’s study.

The moment she opened the door, she saw Ning Chen putting a document on the table.

She could not help but be startled.

He picked up another one from the table and placed it together with the previous. He looked up and asked her, “Why didn’t you go straight to bed after you showered?” 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

Qin Yu was surprised. “How did brother know that I took a bath?”

He smiled. “I could smell the fragrance of your shower gel.”

Qin Yu walked forward. “Does brother also need to smell when he reads documents?”

She looked at the report on the table curiously.

“Of course,” Ning Chen said with a grin.

She stared at him and waved her hand in front of his eyes. Ning Chen’s eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, motionless.

“Brother, you’re lying!” Qin Yu was furious.

He laughed and reached out to touch her head, but he made a mistake and his hand missed.

Qin Yu grabbed it and placed it on her head.

She suddenly realized, ‘What kind of habit is this?’
