Su Tong sat on the couch in Ning Dong’s room. Her eyes were unfocused as she muttered, “She’s back. She’s finally back.”
All of a sudden, she rose to her feet. “I’m going to speak to her! Didn’t she say she’d never come back? She’s so shameless! How could she go back on her words?”
Ning Dong pulled his mother back and hurriedly closed the door. Then, he said in a low voice, “Mom, what are you doing?”
Su Tong struggled. “I’m going to ask that shameless woman why she came back and why she went back on her promise!”
Ning Dong led his mother back to the couch as he said, “She’s the dignified Eldest Young Miss of the Ning family so why can’t she come back? You can’t stop her from coming back. Moreover, if you show your dissatisfaction, it’ll implicate me. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Su Tong looked at her son in a daze. She understood what he meant. However, she did not understand how these words came from her son. She wondered when her son matured.
Ning Dong sighed. He walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water. After drinking the water, he sighed again. “Not only are we not allowed to show our dissatisfaction, but we must also lower our heads so everyone will think we’re pitiful wretches who are begging for her approval.”
Su Tong rose to her feet immediately upon hearing these words. “No! Son, I won’t allow you to lower yourself like this! You’re the legitimate Young Master of the Ning family! You’re the only son! You’re going to inherit the family business! No matter how capable she is, I won’t allow her to take away a single cent from you! I won’t allow it!”
Su Tong hugged her son tightly, sobbing.
Ning Dong gently patted Su Tong’s hand as he said, “Alright, Mom. Don’t worry. I know what to do. When I grow up and gain independence, everything will be fine.”
Su Tong pulled away and looked at her son sadly. He was just a young boy. He was slender and tall. However, perhaps, it was due to his lack of confidence, he would instinctively hunch his back. He was handsome, but because his head was always lowered, he looked rather gloomy.
She reached out and stroked her son’s cheek as she murmured, “Gain independence? With him around, when will you be able to be independent? Do you think he’ll give you power in the company? He’d only give it to his daughter. He has never thought of you.”
Ning Dong smiled faintly. His voice was as light as a feather as he said, “We’ll make him give me power as soon as possible. I’ll get rid of everyone and everything that stands in my way.”
Su Tong trembled slightly. “You’re right, son! You’re right! We have to be quick!”
Su Tong’s eyes brightened, and her gaze became even more determined.
As Su Tong strode toward the door, Ning Dong reached out and stopped her before he asked, “Mom, we have no other choice, do we?”
Su Tong smiled grimly at her son. “From the beginning until now, we’ve never had a choice. They cornered us…”
After Su Tong left, Ning Dong looked at the closed door and chuckled.
‘Ning Xia, you shouldn’t have come back. You should be punished for not keeping your promise. If the heavens don’t punish you, then I will.”
…
In Ning Zhe’s study.
Ning Chun had just reported the Mu family’s situation to Ning Zhe.
Ning Zhe frowned as he asked, “Ning Chun, what do you think?”
Ning Chun hesitated. He did not dare to speak carelessly.. After a moment, he tried to articulate his words before he said, “The Eldest Young Miss’s change is a little too drastic.”
