What about Chu Ningyi, what did he say? Qiao Yaruan collected her things after changing her shift and walked back in.

Heh, hes too busy buying out my familys company. He doesnt have the time to concern himself with me, Shui Anluo gritted her teeth as she replied. She had never asked Chu Ningyi to stand up for her but she never thought that he would buy out Soaring Distance Technologies.

Eh? He wants to buy your familys company? Thats a good thing. Besides, that old dotard of a father of yours No, what I mean is that its not yours anyway. Just consider it as an inheritance for your son. Qiao Yaruan realized that she had said something wrong and hurriedly corrected herself. However, she did not think that Chu Ningyis purchase of Soaring Distance Technologies was a bad thing at all. After all, if he does not buy it now, it would eventually land in Shui Anjiaos hands.

Shui Anluos heart throbbed when she heard the words your father.

Thats not the point. I dont care whether Soaring Distance Technologies ends up in my hands or not but its still my grandfathers life work, sighed Shui Anluo.

Then do you want it to land into that fraud, Shui Anjiaos hands? Let me tell you this, stop being silly. Rather than giving it to her, why not leave it for your son? Qiao Yaruan replied in frustration. Im telling you now that if Chu Ningyi wants to take it, let him take it. Its going to belong to your son in the end anyway.

Youre overthinking it. What if he ends up marrying someone else and that person gives him another son? Will my son eat dirt then?

Oh, please, your son is the eldest child of the first legal wife. Who would dare to touch the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace? Qiao Yaruan said as she unlocked her car door. Her father had just bought this car for her.

If you really cant stand it, just resign. Its not like youll starve to death. Qiao Yaruan put her phone in the car and started the car mid-conversation.

Im certainly not leaving. Wont that mean that Ive silently confessed to making that mistake? Im not in the wrong, Shui Anluo replied in frustration. Are you starting the car?

Mm. Its fine. Ill use the Bluetooth, replied Qiao Yaruan. Youre right, you cant yield to the matter. Whoevers at fault should publicly apologize to you. Thats non-negotiable.

Thats right. Shui Anluo clenched her fist as she replied. You should concentrate on driving, Im going to find something to eat. Shui Anluo said before she ended the call.

Chu Ningyi was standing at the window of the ward upstairs as he stared at the person below. There was clearly no way for her frail shoulders to carry any burden yet she had insisted on carrying the burden of an entire family.

Young Master, Madam Shui is on the phone. Uncle Chu suddenly appeared behind Chu Ningyi with a mobile phone. The Madam Shui he had mentioned was Long Manyin. It was likely that only Long Manyin was fit to hold the title of Madam Shui in everyones hearts.

Chu Ningyi grunted in reply and took the phone. Summon her back, Chu Ningyi said as he answered the call. Uncle Chu stepped out as well.

Hows Luoluo? Long Manyins elegant voice sounded from the phone.

Not bad, Chu Ningyi calmly replied. But I never thought that youd initiate a phone call with me.

I know that its inappropriate for me to send Luoluo to you like that but I had no other choice. I cant possibly take her with me and An Jiahui will never leave Luoluo alone so easily. Long Manyin sounded somewhat helpless. Ningyi, Luoluo is still young so I hope you can be her guardian for the next few years. Ill come for her after that.

What do you think I am? A shelter for refugees? Since youve left, why not stay away and never come back? A one-time abandonment is more than enough. Chu Ningyis voice grew even icier, likely because he had been standing on one leg for too long. Therefore, when he turned to walk back to bed, he had not expected to see Shui Anluo standing at the doorway.
