Chapter 94 - Secret

Gao Wen patted Su Tong's hand as she said, "You don't have a daughter so you don't know what it's like to raise one. In a family like ours, daughters are the most precious. To be honest, since she was young, I've been paying attention to families of similar status. We don't need her to marry for a business alliance; all that matters is that her husband treats her well. She's truly like the pearl in my palm. Fortunately, she's really blessed. She had a close relationship with the Young Master of the Mu family since she was young. You know the Mu family, right?

Upon hearing these words, Su Tong's heart skipped a beat. "Which Mu family are you talking about?"

Gao Wen said, slightly annoyed, "Which Mu family do you think I'm talking about? I'm naturally talking about the Mu family that lives in the Cloudy Peak Villa like us."

"Mu… Mu Chen?" Su Tong was shocked. She glanced at Ye Xin and saw the shy expression on Ye Xin's face.

Gao Wen nodded and continued to say, "That's right. Mu Chen and Ye Cheng have been classmates since kindergarten. He and Ye Xin are childhood sweethearts. Since young, he has always doted on her. Although he's quite cold to others, he treats Ye Xin differently. For this reason, I'm not really worried about Ye Xin's personal matters. It's Ye Cheng that gives me a headache. If you know of any suitable young ladies, please introduce them to Ye Cheng."

Su Tong promised Gao Wen. However, inwardly, her mind was spinning. 'If Mu Cheng and Ye Xin are together, what about Ning Xia? Ha! As it turns out, Ning Xia is a third party! It's really karma! How satisfying! In the past, Zhuang Yi had thought of countless ways to nail me to the pillar of shame. I bet she didn't expect her daughter would embarrass her!'

At this moment, Su Tong felt the expensive gifts she had given to the Ye family were worth it! To think she would be able to discover such a huge secret. Naturally, she would not let such a matter stay a secret. She would announce it to the world and get rid of the anger she had bottled up for ten years!

…

After leaving the Ye family house, Su Tong felt as though she was on cloud nine. She was incredibly excited.

When she arrived at the Ning family's house, she saw Ning Zhe lecturing Ning Dong.

"Look at your timid appearance; you look like a good-for-nothing. You're not like a real man at all. You're a disgrace to the Ning family," Ning Zhe said. He had always been harsh with his words.

Upon seeing this, Su Tong felt as though a bucket of cold water had been splashed on her, dampening her excitement immediately. She hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's going? What happened? Why did you anger your father again?"

Ning Dong lowered his head silently.

Su Tong had no choice but to placate Ning Zhe. "Husband, don't be angry. He's still a child. If he's wrong, you just need to teach him a lesson. You can scold him or beat him, but don't be so angry…"

Ning Zhe did not respond to her. Instead, he slowly made his way to the sofa.

Su Tong hastily followed as she said sternly to Ning Dong, "Aren't you going to apologize to your father?"

Ning Dong remained motionless.

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhe said impatiently, "Return to your room. Don't stand here and be an eyesore."

Su Tong hurriedly waved her hand, motioning Ning Dong to leave.

Ning Dong left silently without looking back.

Upon seeing this, Ning Zhe pointed at Ning Dong's retreating back and said angrily, "Look at how useless he is! He's not good at studying or socializing. He lacks morals and is stuck in his womanizing ways. How can I count on him to help me? How's he going to inherit the family business with this attitude? In the future, don't accuse me of being bias. If he has the capability, I won't be unfair to him."

Su Tong's smile froze on her face, Then, she hurriedly mollified him, "Alright, alright. Don't be so angry; it's bad for your health. We'll educate him slowly. Your health is the most important thing. Let me get you a cup of ginseng tea."

After calming down, Ning Zhe said, "No need. There are still things I need to deal with back in the company." After he finished speaking, he asked Ning Chun to prepare the car.

When the car finally disappeared from sight, Su Tong made her way to her son's room.

She saw Ning Dong sitting quietly at his desk with a dazed expression on his face. The book on his desk remained unopened. She asked, "Son, what's wrong? Why is your father so angry?"

Ning Dong did not respond to her.

She lifted her hand to pat her son's head, but he moved his head to the side, avoiding her touch. She was slightly taken aback. Why was her son acting so strangely? Her son was usually obedient and was very skilled in pleasing Ning Zhe since he was young. However, for reasons unknown, over the past few years, Ning Zhe would often scold Ning Dong.
