"Yeah, I didn't expect the would-be head of the Ning family to be in such a miserable state. I still have a few crystal stones on me, uncle, how about you?" Ning Chengfeng also added fuel to the fire.
"I can also give you some generously." Ningchuan Zhuye said.
Ning Tao's face turned green with anger.
Who cares about the three of them? ? !
He was the next head of the Ning family, but they were just driven away by the Ning family. When the concierge came to report, his eyes were full of "poor relatives are here."
Will you care about their money? ?
"Hmph, you should keep it for yourself." Ning Tao said coolly.
"Where's my father?" Ning Cheng stopped talking to him about all kinds of things, "I want to see him."
Ning Tao stopped and looked at Ning Cheng.
I have to say that when he saw his cousin this time, he was not as depressed as he thought.
In his own imagination, Ning Cheng should live a low-class life, working hard for others, doing manual labor, etc., but this time when they met, he found that he was more calm and restrained.
The wife is gentle and beautiful, the two sons are majestic, and the youngest daughter has sharp eyes... This family is very eye-catching when they stand together.
but……
So what?
Don't say that Ning Cheng has such a problem, even if he doesn't, he, a newcomer, still wants to take over the management of the Ning family these years?
Why should he take his place?
Ning Tao knew that he was just a child of the Ning family and Ning Cheng's cousin. But after Ning Cheng became useless and the Ning family needed a good successor, he was adopted into Ning Cheng's father's name.
What about my brother-in-law? He is the next head of the family, Ning Cheng can only be a joke!
The Ning family only cares about interests and not blood ties, so they are undoubtedly much more important than Ning Cheng.
"Okay, I'll take you to see dad."
When talking about the word dad, Ning Tao deliberately emphasized his voice.
Now he is not only your father, but also my father!
Ning Cheng pursed his lips, and there was a fire rising in his eyes, but he suppressed it firmly.
The process of meeting Ning Zhongfeng was much smoother than Ning Cheng had expected. I thought Ning Tao would stop the two from meeting, but he didn't expect that he had no intention of stopping him and took Ning Cheng directly to Ning Zhong. The North Courtyard where Feng lives.
Nowadays, Ning Zhongfeng is still the head of the Ning family, but Ning Zhongfeng's physical problems are getting worse and worse, and it is estimated that he will not be able to support it for long.
Ning Cheng's eyes were deep and he couldn't help but think that Ning Zhongfeng's body was like this but he still hadn't completely delegated power to Ning Tao. Does that mean that Ning Tao's position itself was unstable?
Otherwise, if Ning Tao is reliable, why would Ning Zhongfeng have to work so hard? He can just delegate power and enjoy his old age.
"Sister-in-law and the children can be taken to the front hall. I'll ask Hao'er to entertain them."
Ning Tao looked back and said.
"Dad, I also want to meet grandpa." Ning Zhishui grabbed Ning Cheng's sleeve and shook it.
[Who wants to see that old man, but if you don’t, it’s just a waste of time! 】
"Yes, Dad, none of us have ever seen grandpa. It's rare to see him this time, so why not go together." Ningchuan Zhuye said.
Ning Chengfeng nodded in agreement.
Ning Tao frowned, "Your grandpa is not in good health. I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the harassment from you guys. You'd better go to the front hall and wait."
"We can talk less. Who said we were harassing?" Ning Zhishui asked.
Anyway, she was young, so it was okay to pretend to be rude.
But my brothers are all tall and powerful, so it would be inappropriate for them to do this.
"Let's go together." Ning Cheng said, "Let them salute Grandpa and then exit."
Ning Tao frowned, a little annoyed, but still agreed.
The group of people walked to the North Courtyard and saw many servants. It was very quiet here and there was a smell of medicine in the air.
Ning Zhishui looked around carefully and then came to a conclusion——
[This old man seems to still hold the power, and he still makes the decision in the house. 】
This is easy to judge. If the place is desolate and no one cares about it, it means that Ning Tao is in power and Ning Zhongfeng is losing power.
But now the servants on Ning Zhongfeng's side are busy, including those who serve and those who make medicine. Even the flowers and grass in the yard are well taken care of, which shows that this boss still has the right to speak.
[This Ning Tao...it seems that his life in the house is not good either. 】
The Ning family looked at it silently, taking in everything.
"I'll pass the call, you wait."
Ning Tao glanced at them, knocked on the door and went in.
There were conversations inside, and occasionally an old voice coughing.
After a while, the door opened, "Dad lets you go in."
Ning Tao said.
"Let's go." Ning Cheng said, walking forward side by side with Ren Muqing, while the children were a few steps behind.
Stepping into the door, I saw the darkness in the room and the old man sitting on the couch.
The old man is in his dying years, his hair is all white, his body is stooped, his cheeks are sunken, and his eyes are blurry.
Probably because my eyes can't see light well, that's why the room is so dark.
"Ning Cheng?"
Ning Zhongfeng looked hard this way.
His voice was breathless and had a weak, forced feel.
"father……"
Why is he like this!
Ning Cheng was greatly shocked. He never expected that the serious, upright and tall father in his mind would turn out to be like this.
No matter how much hatred he had in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart when he saw his father like this.
"Ning Cheng, why are you back? They are..."
Ning Zhongfeng's hands, as thin as chicken feet, supported the edge of the couch, lifting the quilt and trying to put down his legs, but such a simple action could only be done with the help of the steward.
Ning Cheng looked at the steward, who was his father's confidant Cheng Hai.
"Dad, I came to visit you with my wife and son. This is my wife Mu Qing, this is my eldest son Chuan Zhu, my second son Cheng Feng, and my youngest daughter Zhishui."
He mentioned a person, and that person came forward and saluted.
When she arrived at Ning Zhishui, she looked up and saluted without any emotion in her voice——
"grandfather."
[This old man seems to have only a few years to live. 】
【It’s all retribution. 】
Ning Zhongfeng's heart moved, and his eyes that could no longer see clearly were trying to open wide.
He was looking at Ning Zhishui. People could see clearly, and he could also see her opening her mouth to call her grandpa.
But what’s going on with the last two sentences?
It was clearly Ning Zhishui's voice, but she didn't open her mouth, and the others' expressions showed no reaction, as if they couldn't hear her words at all.
Especially Ning Tao, if he could hear it, he would definitely reprimand Ning Zhishui severely on the spot. He would never be able to stand here peacefully like this.
The rest of the Ning family have already heard Duo Ning Zhishui's complaints these days and are used to it. Unless the content is too explosive, they won't have much reaction.
Naturally, from Ning Zhongfeng's point of view, there was no reaction.
My stomach has been feeling uncomfortable for the past few days. I will be back to normal tomorrow. Update.
