The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1301 - 661: Mo Han and Wanwan Arc – The Hatred in Ning Zezhen’s Heart

All these years, Ning Zezhen had been swallowing his anger. Originally, he was supposed to be the president of Ning Group, but because of one mistake, he was directly stripped of his position. Forget that his younger brother took the seat instead, that younger brother had even sat in the president’s chair of Ning Group for so many years. Every time he went out for socializing or parties, everyone only mentioned his younger brother’s name. How could he possibly feel comfortable about that in his heart?

What’s more, Old Master Ning’s attitude had already made it perfectly clear: in the future, Ning Group wouldn’t be his, but Ning Zeyu’s.

This thought had been constantly hovering in his mind, and it made all kinds of hatred surge up in his chest. A man as ruthless and vicious as he was naturally started plotting to take his younger brother’s life; it was only a matter of time.

He had prepared for a full year, and finally seized this chance to get him killed.

Standing outside, Ning Yan’er heard these words. Even without thinking, she already knew what had happened. Her eyes instantly widened, filled with disbelief. She simply couldn’t accept that it was actually her own father who had killed Ning Wan’s parents.

A chill rose from the soles of her feet and swept through her whole body. Before her brain had even reacted, her hand had already turned the doorknob. As the study door opened, Ning Yan’er saw her father sitting there at a glance, and a tall man beside him. She only glanced at the man once before her gaze fixed straight on her father. "Dad, what you just said... is it all true?"

She was referring to the matter of killing Ning Wan’s parents.

Ning Zezhen hadn’t expected his words to be overheard by his daughter. His expression shifted a little, but he quickly regained his composure and spoke directly to the man standing in front of him, "You go back first. Don’t contact me for the next few days."

The man immediately answered, then turned and walked out of the study, closing the door behind him as he left.

Only Ning Zezhen and Ning Yan’er were left in the study. Ning Zezhen looked at Ning Yan’er, pointed at the spot in front of him, and spoke in a gentle voice that couldn’t be associated with the stern man from moments ago. "Yan’er, come sit over here."

Ning Yan’er still couldn’t calm down inside, but when she heard Ning Zezhen’s words, she still gritted her teeth and walked over to sit down.

Only after Ning Yan’er sat did Ning Zezhen speak. "How much did you hear just now?"

Ning Yan’er froze, looking at her father in confusion. It took her a while to come back to herself, and she answered fairly honestly, "Not much, I only heard you talking about that matter... Dad, Ning Wan’s parents..."

"It was me." Before his daughter could finish, Ning Zezhen directly cut her off, his tone light but still gentle. "Yan’er, in this family, your grandpa has already completely taken your second uncle’s side. If Dad doesn’t make a move, then in the future the whole Ning Family will belong to your second uncle’s branch, not ours. I’ve long wanted to get rid of your second uncle."

He didn’t hide anything from his daughter, but told Ning Yan’er the truth outright.

Because compared to anyone else, he trusted his daughter more.

Just as he expected, Ning Yan’er was only slightly stunned when she heard her father’s words, but she quickly recovered. After a silence of several dozen seconds, she spoke. "Dad, I understand. I’ll keep this secret. But does Mom know?"

"Your mom still doesn’t know it was me, and you must not tell her either. If your mom slips up someday and lets it out, the ones who’ll die then will be our whole family."

"Alright, I understand."

Ning Zezhen didn’t continue on this topic, instead he suddenly asked, "Yan’er, you like Xi Mohan?"

She was his own daughter; how could Ning Zezhen not see through her thoughts?

Ning Yan’er’s delicate little face instantly flushed like a shy woman’s. Her hand at her side unconsciously clenched as she nodded. "Yes, I like him. I want to marry him."

Ning Zezhen nodded. "Xi Mohan is not bad. But the two of you need to like each other for it to work. If he doesn’t like you, Yan’er... I hope you won’t pour all your feelings blindly into that man. You have status and beauty; plenty of men will line up to fall at your feet."

Xi Mohan was indeed a good catch; the only question was what he thought. Ning Zezhen was fairly satisfied with Xi Mohan. After all, Xi Mohan’s methods were impressive, and he was now the president of Xi Group.

If his daughter could be with Xi Mohan, that would naturally be ideal. After all, Xi Group’s standing in An City was now only second to CK Group.

On top of that, everyone knew Xi Mohan and CK Group’s president, Lu Jingchen, were close brothers. If Ning Group could get even a little tied up with Xi Group, it would definitely bring benefits, not harm.

When she heard her father’s words, the scene of Xi Mohan holding Ning Wan in his arms at the hospital involuntarily surfaced in Ning Yan’er’s mind. Her delicate little face instantly turned gloomy and unreadable. She looked straight at her father. "Dad, at the hospital today..."

Ning Yan’er directly told him what had happened at the hospital.

After his daughter finished, Ning Zezhen’s brows knit together, and there was a hint of anger in his voice. "That little girl again. Even though Xi Mohan usually acts like he hates that little girl, Yan’er, you still need to stay on guard against her."

"Okay, I got it."

...

Ning Wan waited in the living room until the housekeeper finished preparing dinner before Xi Mohan finally came downstairs.

As soon as she saw the man coming down from upstairs, Ning Wan immediately stood up. But since one of her feet was injured, she could only stand on one leg. She looked at Xi Mohan and said, "Xi Mohan, could you please take me back now?"

When she spoke, her fists tightened instinctively. Her gaze fixed firmly on the man, her eyes full of pleading.

The man’s steps halted at once. He turned his head toward her, his face still expressionless. He didn’t answer her, just gave a flat four-word order, "Come eat your dinner."

His tone really was grating. Ning Wan didn’t move, her voice unusually firm. "I said, take me back. Don’t you hate me? Why did you bring me here then?"
