Chapter 1314: The Youngest Master of the Zhuang Family
"Hmm..." Mu Ning responded softly.
The banker's driver arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon and called Mu Ning, asking her to come downstairs.
Mu Ning sighed. The Zhuang family was being too demanding. She felt it was wrong to force her to do something she thought was right. The Zhuang family didn't need to keep a close eye on her. Zhuang Shiyuan was her boyfriend, and even if he became a vegetable, she wouldn't leave him.
In Mu Ning's heart, she still felt that the Zhuang family's behavior was petty, or even despicable, and was inconsistent with the Zhuang family's background as a prominent family.
But Mu Ning chose to remain silent. It was not her place to say anything more about the banker's affairs.
Today, the car didn't take Mu Ning to the hospital, but to the Zhuang family's house. There were many Zhuang family members, and the atmosphere was particularly lively. It was probably the first time since the old man's burial that the relatives and friends gathered together for a lively time. Mu Ning got out of the car and stood beside it in a somewhat awkward manner.
The Zhuang family's courtyard looked brand new, no longer what she remembered. Festive red lanterns and colorful lights were hung everywhere, as if a luxurious party was being held. There was a hint of festivity in the cold air.
Mu Ning's clothes were bought by her mother. She had no idea she was coming to the banker's house, otherwise she wouldn't have deliberately changed out of the new clothes Shi Yuan's mother had prepared for her. Mu Ning lowered her head. Her clothes and shoes were so old-fashioned that she subconsciously took a step back. If she walked in like this, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the banker?
"Hey--"
A light shout was heard, and Mu Ning looked up. However, before she could see anything clearly, a cold gust of wind blew over, and her pupils gradually widened. With a "bang", the cry of pain was faster than her body could perceive. She screamed, and almost at the same time, a crisp "clang" sounded as the ground fell to the ground. The severe pain on Mu Ning's forehead began to spread.
"what--"
Mu Ning held her head, squatted on the ground, biting her lips, her face changed with pain.
As he squatted on the ground, he realized that what had fallen was a candy, shot from a slingshot. The force was not to be underestimated. Mu Ning covered his head, feeling as if he had been shot.
The light above her head was blocked. Mu Ning slowly raised her eyes and saw a tall man standing in front of her like a pine tree. Mu Ning bit her lip, her face twisted in pain, tears circling in her eyes, and she was about to burst into tears.
The man sneered, half-knelt down, and looked at Mu Ning's face provocatively, looking at her unscrupulously.
There was nothing good to see, and her face was still crooked. There was really no novelty at all. The man snorted in disdain, and immediately raised his hand, pinching Mu Ning's chin to lift it up so that he could see more clearly.
"Are you the banker's future daughter-in-law?" The man's voice was very soft, with a hint of playful disdain, and he looked extremely cold and cool.
Mu Ning raised his eyes and saw the face in front of him clearly. It was a very young and arrogant face. The skin was darker than the healthy wheat color. There was a vague sense of familiarity in the cold expression. The edges and corners were clear, and there was an evil charm in the wild smile. The face could be described as handsome, but the solemn and dark aura on his body was frightening.
He is a handsome man who is like a cold and poisonous snake.
"Piff—"
Mu Ning pushed the man's hand away and slapped him hard in the face. "I'm paying you back!"
He stood up and strode towards the dealer. The man behind him raised his eyebrows: Oh, it turns out that big brother found a little chili pepper -
He stood up and followed. The handsome man had an upright figure, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and well-proportioned legs. He walked with the wind. A faint smile graced his cold face, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He grabbed Mu Ning by the neck and the next moment, pulled her towards him.
"I have something to ask you. Don't be in such a hurry to leave..."
"Ah—hooligan, let go, let go!" Mu Ning pulled back the man's powerful hand and was almost dragged away. "Let go, bastard, I'm the eldest lady of the Zhuang family. You dare to molest me, aren't you afraid of going to jail?"
"Jail?"
The man seemed to have heard something very funny and laughed out loud, "My taste isn't that bad. Don't worry, I'm just asking a few questions."
Mu Ning roared madly and grabbed the man's face with his backhand, "Fuck you, let go of me, or I'll kick your balls—"
She cursed loudly and waved her hands. She was not short, but the other person was still a head taller than her.
"Hey, where did you learn such nonsense? Zhuang Shiyuan is a polite gentleman. How could he tolerate your aggressiveness?" The man laughed.
"Let go of me, or I'll be rude to you."
"How do you mean rude? Let me give you an idea. As a man, I naturally like to rape first and then kill. Hahaha..." The man laughed arrogantly. Mu Ning was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. Suddenly, he roared for his life, with a power comparable to that of the Hedong Lion.
"Ah, ah-"
The man was stunned for a moment, as he had not expected the woman to use this trick. After a moment of hesitation, he looked up and saw the person coming out. He quickly let go of Mu Ning's neck and walked forward quickly.
"Mother."
Mu Ning staggered back and stood firm, covering her neck with her hands. She didn't know whether the man really wanted to strangle her or if the man's hands were too heavy. Her neck was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it. The pain in her forehead hadn't subsided yet, and her neck was almost broken again. It was so unfair during the New Year!
Mu Ning covered her neck with one hand and her forehead with the other, grinning and looking up. Shi Yuan's mother and sister came out. Mu Ning frowned and turned her face away.
Huo Yan glared at the young man and shouted, "She is your future sister-in-law, Shijue, how can you do this?"
"My son just wanted to say hello to my sister-in-law. There's nothing else to it. You're worrying too much, mother."
The one who answered was the handsome young man. He was none other than Zhuang Shijue, the second young master of the Zhuang family who was thrown into the army because of his naughty behavior and did not even finish high school. Zhuang Shijue no longer had that evil and murderous aura on his face. He looked like a completely dissolute young man. He responded nonchalantly with a smile in his eyes.
Huo Yan gave Zhuang Shijue a warning look, "Behave yourself, or your dad will give you a beating when you come back in the next few days!"
"Yes, yes, I will follow my mother's teachings!" Zhuang Shijue responded in the same nonchalant tone.
Seventeen glanced at Zhuang Laoyao with the same reproachful look, but since his mother was there, he didn't say much.
Huo Yan walked towards Mu Ning and said with a smile, "You're back. Come, let's go in and meet our relatives and friends. Auntie will introduce you to them."
Huo Yan held Mu Ning's hand, glanced at Mu Ning's clothes calmly, still smiling, without any other reaction.
"I want to go back to the hospital. He is alone in the hospital." Mu Ning said in a low voice.
"It's okay. Auntie will accompany you there after dinner, okay?" Huo Yan asked in a low voice. When she got closer, she saw the swelling on Mu Ning's forehead.
