Ning Zheng and Ning Lian turned their heads abruptly.

Fu Ze’s figure was extremely proportionate. He was wearing gray sportswear today and looked very youthful. He wore sunglasses and held a cup of milk tea in his hand.

Ning Lian was stunned.

She had known Fu Ze for more than ten years, but she had never seen him dressed so casually. He only drank tea and never touched something as unhealthy as milk tea.

He didn’t even look like Fu Ze anymore.

Fu Ze walked to Ning Xiang’s side and handed her the milk tea. He looked at the stunned Ning Lian and Ning Zheng.

The man’s eyes were sharp and carried a condescending arrogance. The tenderness he had shown Ning Xiang just now had disappeared. This was the President Fu they were familiar with.

“What are you doing here?” Fu Ze hugged Ning Xiang and frowned. “Didn’t I tell you to steer clear of us?”

Ning Lian’s smile stiffened. She took out the tie for Fu Ze to see. “Big Sister is buying something for you. It’s a tie worth $6000. My eldest brother found the gift patronizing and was afraid of embarrassing the Fu family, so he couldn’t help but come over and talk to her about it.”

Ning Lian had ensured it had nothing to do with her. No matter what, Fu Ze could not blame her this time.

After being attacked a few times, Ning Lian had to be more careful.

Fu Ze glanced at her indifferently. Not only was he not angry, but the corners of his lips also curled up. He looked down at Ning Xiang and said in a doting voice, “Did you buy this for me?”

Ning Xiang replied, “Yes. It’s just a pity that my tie was touched by something dirty and I don’t want it anymore.”

When Ning Zheng heard his weak and kind sister being insulted like this, he was instantly angry. “Who are you calling a dirty thing!”

“It is what it is. Do you have a problem with that?” Fu Ze’s voice was very deep. “Besides, she’s not wrong.”

Ning Lian gently tugged at the corner of Ning Zheng’s shirt. Her eyes were red, but she forced a smile. “It’s okay, Big Brother. She just hates me and I get it. Let’s go.”

Ning Lian’s compromise only made the competitive and brainless Ning Zheng even angrier.

“Ning Xiang, you’re too much! Ning Lian said those things for your own good. Why don’t you appreciate it at all? Instead, you’re slandering her like this!”

Ning Xiang leaned into Fu Ze’s arms in boredom and smiled. “That’s right, that’s right. You said that my character is bad and that I’m embarrassing. I know you’re just doing it for my own good.”

Fu Ze’s gaze became even more gloomy. The two people who had spoken arrogantly earlier cowered. In the end, Ning Zheng simply whispered, “As the saying goes, people often don’t heed good advice. Since you don’t like it, we won’t give you any advice in the future.”

Seeing that no one interrupted him, Ning Zheng thought about what he had just said and felt self-justified. He straightened his back and said, “I don’t need an apology, but she can’t do this to Lianlian. Once she apologizes to her, this matter will be over.”

This time, Ning Xiang really couldn’t hold back her laughter. Under their confused gazes, she wiped away her tears and asked, “Ning Lian, tell your brother what happened to the last person who tried to make me apologize?”

As soon as Ning Shi entered the house, Fu Ze’s secretary sent a contract over for the 5% profit he had offered Fu Ze. He could not deny it and could only sign it.

After the secretary left, Ning Shi was so angry that he threw a lot of things at home. Ning Lian could not bear to stay at home anymore, so she asked Ning Zheng to go shopping with her.

Ning Lian gritted her teeth. Her face was pale, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

In the end, she tugged on Ning Zheng’s sleeve and begged, “Big Brother, just stop it. It’s my fault. Let’s go.”

Ning Xiang smiled and said to Ning Zheng, “Since you’re already here, let’s not make it a wasted trip for you. I remember that you got a new piece of land in the east of the city. I think it’s not bad. Why don’t you give it to me?”

Ning Zheng was in disbelief. He pointed at Ning Xiang with a trembling finger. “You… You, you…. How can you be so thick-skinned? Do you know how much that land is worth?! I spent 300 million yuan on it, you, you…”

Ning Zheng was so angry that he couldn’t even speak properly. Ning Xiang did not feel guilty at all. Instead, she said confidently, “It’s just 300 million. Just treat it as a lesson for you. If Ning Shi lets you inherit the company in the future and your mouth is still as cheap as Ning Lian’s, you won’t be just losing money by then.”

Fu Ze added coldly, “That’s right. Your father lost 50 billion this morning since he didn’t learn his lesson.”
