Chapter 429: Back When I Was Young and Full of Spirit
"Your brother is your brother. I’m not going to blame you for his mistakes! Go back with Aunt He, don’t keep crying and worrying her. Today is her big day!"
After she finished speaking, Shen Congling suddenly hugged her tightly and started crying loudly, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Lu Beichen walked over, and An Lin smiled lightly, "I’ll take your son back for a few days first!"
Lu Beichen saw that his son had already gotten into An Lin’s car, happily chatting away with An’an inside. The two kids were having a blast, which made him unable to suppress a slight smile, "It’s fine if you don’t send him back!"
An Lin couldn’t help but laugh, then glanced at Ji Niandong in the distance, and whispered, "I heard Gu Xiyao is back. She used to follow you everywhere. We’re quite familiar, haven’t seen each other in five years. Invite her over to my place when she’s free."
"Sure! But, she’s been busy discussing marriage with the Ning Family lately. I’m not sure if she has time!" Lu Beichen responded lightly.
"Is she really going to marry Ning Zesheng?" An Lin chuckled, "I’m quite surprised!"
She patted Lu Beichen’s shoulder and looked at Ji Niandong, "Beichen, you always handle things with tact, I won’t say more!"
Once Ji Niandong walked over, they exchanged goodbyes and went home separately!
On the way back, Ji Niandong didn’t say a word, and Lu Beichen was the first to speak, "Why aren’t you talking?"
"I’m a bit tired after a busy day!" She leaned back in her seat, her gaze fell outside the window, pursed her lips, glanced at Lu Beichen, but ultimately remained silent.
Her little thoughts were immediately seen through by Lu Beichen, who went straight to the point, "Do you know Ning Family’s elder son, Ning Zeyan?"
Unclear why he brought up this person, she still replied, "I know!"
Ning Family’s elder son, Ning Zeyan, Ning Zesheng’s elder brother, is now the General Manager of Ning Group. Rumor has it that due to an accident six years ago, he became disabled in his right leg. Though he can stand now, he relies on a cane to walk a few steps and mostly depends on a wheelchair.
He was supposed to be the secure heir of the Ning Family, but because of this, he only holds the position of General Manager now.
Whether these newspaper rumors are true, she wasn’t sure!
Lu Beichen continued, "It was me who crippled his right leg!"
His tone was as if talking about an ordinary thing, yet it startled Ji Niandong, who looked straight at him.
"Back then, Ning Zeyan used unscrupulous means to compete with me for the foreign market! At that time..." Back then, he had already taken over YT International, leading YT to the global mainstream, making waves in the business world, invincible, "I was young and impulsive!"
"If it weren’t for the slight connection with the Ning Family, I might have done more than just cripple his leg!" Lu Beichen explained a bit, "In short, Mrs. Ning only has this treasured son, so a feud began. Now, although the old grievances have passed, still..."
"Wait a minute!" Ji Niandong asked curiously, "Mrs. Ning only has this treasured son, so Mr. Ning is...?"
"Ning Zesheng is Uncle Ning’s illegitimate child, brought back at ten years old and raised under Mrs. Ning’s name. Outsiders don’t know much about this! Because I crippled Ning Zeyan’s leg, Uncle Ning intended to groom Ning Zesheng as the heir! So, to avoid sibling rivalry, Ning Zesheng came to help me manage YT Entertainment!"
Is that why?
Lu Beichen suddenly sneered, "Although Ning Zesheng now has nothing to do with Ning Group, if Xi Yao marries him, with the Gu Family connection, he could seize the Ning heir position anytime. Can you say Mrs. Ning isn’t anxious? Can she not stop Xi Yao from entering the family? Since it was me who got Xi Yao to marry Ning Zesheng, I must ensure she marries him!"
