“Junxi, it’s not like that. My sister misunderstood me…” Ning Yao’s tears flowed down her cheeks. She looked extremely delicate when she was crying. “I don’t know anything about Mom and Dad. I am innocent too… I really treated Qingqing like my own sister. To you… I’ve lived a very tough life for the past three years. I ran away to the States to forget about you, but…”

“That’s enough!” Xu Junxi hugged Ning Yao tightly in his embrace. He roared at Ning Qing with hatred plastered across his eyes, “Ning Yao is the one I like. I love her!”

Ning Qing was numb from the pain. Otherwise, when she heard Xu Junxi say that he loves Ning Yao, how could she not feel anything besides sorrow?

Ning Yao buried herself in Xu Junxi’s embrace and lifted her long slender eyebrows. She looked at her with a provoking smile. She found it satirical. A man who had just slept with a young model a few days ago and a woman who takes to faking every moment of her life. She wondered how this ridiculous combination would turn out.

As a stalemate was developing, the chalet door opened. Ning Zhenguo and Li Meiling came out.

“Yaoyao…” Li Meiling pulled Ning Yao into her embrace. “Let Mama see. How have you been for those three years in the States? Yaoyao, you lost weight.”

Ning Zhenguo hugged Li Meiling’s shoulder comfortingly. The scene of the family reuniting was so lively.

Ning Qing looked at them but no one noticed her. She felt like an outsider.

Ning Yao chatted with the two of them happily, and Ning Zhenguo said, “Let’s stop talking outside and go into the house. It’s rare that Mister Xu comes by. Yaoyao, your mom prepared dinner long ago. Let’s head in.”

Ning Qing suddenly remembered the butler said they only cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for her grandma, but it looks like they prepared a sumptuous dinner for their daughter.
