Chapter 54: Inside Information

Ning Jie’s expression was extremely ugly. He could not blow up at Qin Yu, so he could only yell at Ning Yu, “What the hell is going on?”

Ning Yu felt that he was still wronged and said anxiously, “Dad, it’s not like that at all. Yesterday, I went to invite Big Brother and Sister-in-law here, then met Miss Shi by chance. She was not feeling well and fainted, so I had to send her to the hospital.”

Ning Jie looked at Ning Yu and his expression softened. “You’re a man. Of course, you have to do something about it. After all, Ning Chen’s can’t see.”

What he meant was that Ning Yu was only helping Ning Chen.

Qin Yu said with a serious expression, “Second Uncle, it’s not like that. Second Young Master said that my sister is very virtuous. Yes, very, very beautiful. It’s… great. He kept praising her. He kept praising her because he likes her. Guan Yue was also there. He doesn’t like my sister. After saying a few words to her, my sister got angry and fainted. Second Young Master argued with Guan Yue for awhile and quickly sent my sister to the hospital.

“Second Young Master, if you like a girl, just admit it! Just like how Ning Chen likes me, he will say it out loud. Don’t be afraid!”

Ning Yu was about to faint from anger at this woman.

He pointed at Qin Yu and said angrily, “Shut up!”

Ning Chen’s face darkened. “Ning Yu! Qin Yu is your sister-in-law! I’m not dead yet, so it’s not your turn to bully her!”

The two cousins faced each other, staring daggers at each other.

When the people beside them saw this scene, they quickly persuaded the two of them to leave.

Ning Jie glared at his son. “Ning Yu, your cousin is right. As long as he acknowledges it, she is your sister-in-law. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ning family. As for whether she is stupid or not, who are you to comment?”

He then said amiably to Ning Chen, “Ning Chen, as long as you are happy, as an elder, I can only wish you the best.”

These words were said in a dignified manner, but had a dual meaning.

What an old fox! Qin Yu sighed in her heart.

Ning Yu glared at Qin Yu, wishing he could throw her out.

Ning Chen said indifferently, “Thank you, Second Uncle. A good-for-nothing like me still has a place in the Ning family. It’s all because of you.”

Ning Jie’s expression could not help but stiffen. He hurriedly said, “Look at what you’re saying, kid.”

He laughed at everyone. “Everyone knows that the most important thing in the Ning family is seniority. “Ning Chen is the head of the Ning family. This is a fact that will never change. Haha, it’s my duty to protect the Ning family. Haha, all these years, it’s all thanks to all the sirs present here helping us!”

Everyone quickly tried to smooth things over and put an end to the tension just now.

Ning Chen’s expression remained indifferent. It made people feel that he was still unhappy. Qin Yu’s hand was in his hand from the beginning to the end.

It was undeniable that Ning Chen cared very much about this mentally ill adopted daughter of the Shi family.

Qin Yu sat closest to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man asked kindly, “Qin Yu, do you still remember the names of your biological parents?”

Qin Yu shook her head gently. “I don’t remember. I only know that my parents are called Shi Yong and Qu Li now. I also have a younger sister named Shi Xiao.”

The middle-aged man nodded and sighed. “It was not easy for Shi Yong to bring you up to this point.”

Qin Yu was a little lost and did not know how to answer.

She gently nudged Ning Chen.

Ning Chen introduced him to Qin Yu. “This is Mr. Du. He’s the deputy director of our city’s Public Security Bureau. He’s a soldier.”

Qin Yu looked confused, but her heart couldn’t help flutter.

Ning Chen said again, “Mr. Du, I remember that Shi Yong was also a soldier. Do you two know each other?”

Du Ming smiled. “We don’t know each other. We’ve only heard of each other. I once went on a mission with Shi Yong’s comrade, Qin Sheng.”

Du Ming looked at Qin Yu. There was no expression on Qin Yu’s face. She was merely looking at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen nodded. “I’ve always envied people like you. The bond between comrades is unbreakable.”

Du Ming smiled. “I was thinking, could Qin Yu’s father be Qin Sheng?”

Qin Yu, whose name was called, looked at Du Ming in confusion. It was obvious that she did not understand what he was saying.

Ning Chen sighed. “Xiao Yu doesn’t have any memories of the past. I think it’s pretty good too. I want her to be carefree and happy for the rest of her life.”

Ning Jie heard every word of their conversation and could not help but interject, “This girl is really lucky to be loved and cared for by our Ning Chen!”

A servant came in and reported, “Sir, you may be seated now.”

Ning Yu immediately stood up and walked to the door, politely instructing everyone to leave for the restaurant.

Ning Jie stood up. Only then did Qin Yu realize that Ning Jie’s left leg was limp. He walked with a very delicate cane.

She turned her head to look at Ning Chen. His eyes…

Qin Yu felt a thread slowly weaving in her mind, carefully forming a connection.
