Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While Lin Qiang was still puzzled, Ning Ruxing raised her foot and directly kicked Lin Qiang away. Ning Ruxing patted her hands and put them on her waist, looking at Lin Qiang lying on the ground with eyes full of disgust. If it weren't for the legal society, Lin Qiang would have become a corpse now, not just lying on the ground, Ning Ruxing said coldly, "You should be glad that it was my upbringing that prevented me from telling you to get lost.
"But I also hope that Young Master Lin will respect yourself.
"If you dare to touch me again, I won't be so polite."
After saying that, Ning Ruxing took out a wet tissue from her bag and wiped the hand that had touched Lin Qiang. Ning Ruxing thought it was too dirty. In Lin Qiang's eyes, this was simply too humiliating. At this time, Nana also came out of the toilet. Without even looking at Lin Qiang on the ground, she held Ning Ruxing's arm, saying with a smile, "Ruxing, let's go. What are we having for dinner?"
The two of them ignored Lin Qiang who was lying on the ground as if he didn't exist at all. Lin Qiang's eyes were full of viciousness as if he couldn't wait to kill the b*tch Ning Ruxing. The university department's belle, Song Ruyu happened to be passing by not far away. When she saw Lin Qiang lying on the ground, she came over to help him up, asking in confusion, "Hey, what are you doing on the ground?"
Lin Qiang ignored Song Ruyu and looked at Ning Ruxing's back with a gloomy face. Although Ning Ruxing was very unhappy with Lin Qiang, she couldn't help but worry when she heard about her brother's situation. She didn't know how her brother was now. After dinner, Ning Ruxing went to the balcony and called the butler at home. The butler on the other end of the phone said in surprise, "Young Miss, you called."
Ning Ruxing heard the butler's voice and thought of the time when her parents were still alive and the time they spent together. But ever since her parents went missing, her brother had to carry the Ning family's company and rarely communicated with Ning Ruxing. Moreover, because of the Lin family's matter, Ning Ruxing and her brother had already been very unhappy. If it wasn't for Lin Qiang's words today, she wouldn't have made this phone call.
"How's my brother? How's the company?"
When the butler heard Ning Ruxing's question, he suddenly fell silent, not knowing what to say. Moreover, the young master had told him that these things could not be revealed to Miss so as not to affect her studies. No matter what the Ning family did, they could not hold up Miss. After a moment of silence, the butler frowned and hesitantly spoke into the phone.
"It's...it's alright."
Ning Ruyang was sitting on the couch as he rubbed his temples. He had never thought that the Ning family would become like this. The capital chain was going to break soon. Ning Ruyang needed a lot of capital turnover, but those banks were not willing to give the Ning family loans due to the risks. When he heard the butler answer the phone, Ning Ruyang asked, "Who was that?"
The butler was a little excited when he heard his young master's voice. His young master had not rested well for a few days because of the company's matters. He had been frowning every day. However, the butler was only a butler and could not help much. Although he had some savings, it was just a drop in the bucket. The butler said emotionally, "Young Master, it was Miss."
"Miss, can you let Young Master speak to you for a while?"
Ning Ruxing's face turned a little unhappy when she heard that the butler wanted her brother to answer the phone. The events of that year were still vivid in her mind. Although she had forgiven her brother long ago, she still needed him to apologize. The Lin family was a fire pit and no one would be able to recover after jumping into it. Ning Ruxing held the phone and said indifferently, "There's no need."
With that, Ning Ruxing hung up the phone, not giving him a chance at all. Ning Ruyang got up and walked to the butler's side. The thought of his sister made him better. But when he took the phone from the butler's hand and only heard the dead tone from the phone, Ning Ruyang frowned and put down the phone. The butler couldn't help sighing when he saw this scene.
It had already been several years. They both clearly cared about each other, but neither of them would put their pride aside. Moreover, there was no way to say who was right or wrong in this matter. Back then, the young master did not do it entirely for money. He thought that if the young lady married into the Lin family, even if the Ning family went bankrupt in the future, they would not be short of food and drink. He just did not tell the young lady about it.
"Young Master, you know Miss's personality. She's a little arrogant.
"If you don't admit your mistake, Miss will never forgive you. At least, she won't forgive you verbally.
"Miss is also very concerned about you. She called just now to ask about you and the family's situation.
"You see, it's been so long since we went to the capital. Someone has to apologize first. As her brother, can't you just give in to her?"
