Chapter 1010: Chapter 999: Ning Fan, He is Your Young Uncle
The Ning Family’s inner hall.
Ning Xinlan looked at her father, Ning Jianyang, who wore an extrely indecisive expression on his face, as if he had encountered a huge problem. She couldn’t help but frown, full of confusion.
“Is the other party’s background so significant that even our Ning Family has to retreat?”
Suspicion brewed in Ning Xinlan’s mind, then she recalled how Ning Fan ascended the mountain alone this ti, relying on his formidable strength to take Zhao Xue’er away.
If he really had a deeply hidden background, why would he act this way?
If the background behind him was truly strong enough that her father dared not make a rash move, then today’s incident wouldn’t have ended like this.
Realizing this point, Ning Xinlan let out a sigh of relief instantly, her face once again showing an arrogant expression.
“I don’t care. How dare soone bully . Even if I can endure it, can you, Father? This is humiliating the Ning Family in front of so many families in Dragon City!”
With one clever sentence, Ning Xinlan elevated the matter to the height of the Ning Family’s reputation.
She wasn’t clear about what her father was worried about, but she knew that she had to make him dismiss these concerns and avenge her!
Ning Fan, if you dare to offend , I’ll make sure your end will be ugly!
“Do you really care about the Ning Family’s reputation?”
After hearing Ning Xinlan’s cutting remarks, Ning Jianyang snorted coldly, stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice, “Over these years, you’ve relied on the family’s power, causing how much trouble outside? If we really count it up, the one who has shad the Ning Family the most, is you.”
“Father… I am your daughter!”
Ning Xinlan’s face flushed red and then turned white, she retorted unyieldingly, “Those commoners with no background, what’s wrong with bullying them? It’s because Miss here looks up to them. Who dares to reason with the Ning Family?”
Ning Jianyang’s frown deepened as Ning Xinlan’s aggressive attitude made him realize that this daughter of his had truly been spoiled.
“Xinlan, it seems I have been too lenient with you over the years. You are not in the right in this matter. Don’t bring it up again. Just focus on recuperating.”
After saying this, Ning Jianyang snorted coldly through his nose and turned to leave abruptly.
“Wait…”
Ning Xinlan lifted the quilt off herself and grabbed Ning Jianyang’s sleeve directly, gritting her teeth, “Father, you saw the wounds on my hand. If I hadn’t been rescued in ti today, I might not have had the chance to see you again!”
“I don’t know what’s holding you back from standing up for , but I can’t swallow this anger!”
Recalling Ning Fan’s disdainful gaze and cold expression, Ning Xinlan took deep breaths and said word by word, “If you’re not willing to help , I’ll go to Grandpa.”
“I don’t believe Grandpa will allow to be bullied by an outsider. This concerns the Ning Family’s reputation.”
“Shut up!”
Ning Xinlan was about to continue speaking when Ning Jianyang, already at the door, suddenly turned around and shouted, cutting her off directly.
“The Family Head is elderly. As juniors, we should be sensible and not bother him with such trivial matters.”
Ning Jianyang’s eyes lowered, revealing none of his current thoughts.
He turned around, gently closed the door, and gave the maid serving Ning Xinlan a look.
The maid, having served the Ning Family for over a decade, naturally understood what this look ant.
Without uttering a word, she slightly bowed, retreated silently from the side door.
“I knew there was sothing fishy about this matter.”
Ning Xinlan snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and looking at Ning Jianyang, said, “So tell , what’s your relationship with that Ning Fan that makes you even disregard .”
“What do you an?”
Ning Jianyang detected the insinuation in Ning Xinlan’s words. Seeing her scrutinizing gaze, he slightly frowned with displeasure, “Have I spoiled you too much over the years? Speaking to like this, do you have any sense of hierarchy?”
“Heh, you don’t dare to reply, do you?”
Ning Xinlan displayed an expected expression and coldly said, “Having the sa surna of Ning, and from my observations, that Ning Fan must be your illegitimate son outside. No wonder you won’t be ruthless to him.”
Crossing her arms, Ning Xinlan mocked, “This mysterious brother of mine must be back to claim the family fortune. Even if you can tolerate him, Grandfather may not.”
“This—”
Seeing his daughter’s indignant expression, Ning Jianyang showed a strange look, spreading his hands, “What are you thinking with that brain of yours? In my life, I’ve only had you as a daughter. Ning Fan is not your brother.”
“Ah?”
Ning Xinlan didn’t expect that her long-calculated assumption would fall through. She frowned slightly, looking at her father incredulously, stamring, “Really, but…”
“Silence!”
Ning Jianyang’s brows furrowed slightly. After glancing around, he lowered his voice and said, “Since you’ve pursued the matter to this extent, it wouldn’t hurt to tell you the truth.”
Ning Jianyang took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and with a helpless expression, said in a low voice, “Ning Fan… he’s your uncle!”
“What!”
“Father, you must be joking with !”
“Uncle… but he’s so young.”
With three consecutive sentences, accompanied by rapid breathing, one could imagine how shocked Ning Xinlan was inside.
Ning Jianyang didn’t scold his daughter’s unseemly behavior, showing a bitter smile, he softly said, “You were raised at your maternal grandfather’s place from a young age, so you haven’t t him. In fact, even I haven’t seen him for many years.”
“I even… thought he was long dead.”
Ning Jianyang sunk into mory, his voice becoming increasingly somber.
“Does Grandfather know about his return this ti?”
Ning Xinlan, worthy of being a Ning Family descendant, instantly caught the crucial point of the entire matter.
“The Family Head is still unaware.”
Ning Jianyang’s eyes flickered with a hint of coldness as he patted Ning Xinlan’s shoulder and said in a grave tone, “Knowing this matter is enough for you, do not spread it outside. There’s no need for you to ddle further, I have my own plans.”
“But…”
“There’s no ‘but’.
Ning Jianyang directly interrupted Ning Xinlan’s next words and said in a stern tone, “Your injury by him will be overlooked, during this ti, keep yourself restrained outside, do not confront him again, it will bring no benefit to you.”
“Yes…”
Seeing her father’s stern expression, Ning Xinlan, though feeling indignant inside, could only softly comply.
More crucially, the information about Ning Fan’s identity truly frightened her, making her aggressive deanor vanish completely.
A long-missing uncle…
A playful smile flickered in Ning Xinlan’s eyes.
