"Brother, what should we do now?"
Ning Tangxi's voice carried a trace of anxiety. She said worriedly, "Our father has been completely bewitched by Zhang Yuan. He actually agreed to let her transfer her shares to her illegitimate daughter. We are the legitimate children of the Ning family. What right do they have to do that?"
Even though she was angry, Ning Tangxi felt a little guilty. She knew that Ning Tang and Zhang Yuan were not her real parents, but she had not told Ning Zongxuan about her discovery.
The two siblings walked towards the garden. Ning Zongxuan's body was shrouded in a dark aura. After a few minutes of silence, he finally spoke.
"Mother wants to make up with her illegitimate daughter. Undoubtedly, she feels that it's her fault that Gu Ruochu suffered a lot in her childhood. However, shouldn't an illegitimate daughter suffer? Why should we give her what originally belonged to us?"
Ning Zongxuan felt that Gu Ruochu deserved everything that had happened to her.
When Ning Tangxi heard her brother's vicious words, she felt at ease.
Previously, her brother had always spoken in support of Gu Ruochu. However, now that his inheritance was under threat, he had changed his stance and joined forces with her on the battlefield to deal with Gu Ruochu.
"Brother, don't worry. I won't let Gu Ruochu succeed in bringing down the Ning family." Ning Tangxi stared at Ning Zongxuan with a malicious look on her face. "Father and mother will not dare to reveal that Gu Ruochu is the Ning family's illegitimate daughter. If Zhang Yuan dares to give her company shares to that sl*t, we will expose Gu Ruochu's identity as her illegitimate daughter and paint our mother as an *****erer. The board of directors would never allow a woman with such low status to run the company."
"Tangxi, you're absolutely right."
Ning Zongxuan's knew that they would be taking a huge risk by going against Gu Ruochu.
She had always had Huo Nanchen's protection, and now, his parents were on her side.
However, Ning Tangxi's idea made sense. If Gu Ruochu's identity was exposed, it would put the board of directors in a difficult situation.
It was the perfect opportunity to prevent Zhang Yuan from transferring her shares to Gu Ruochu.
"..."
Huo Nanchen had found out that Ning Tangxi and Ning Zongxuan had secretly returned to the country. They had probably found out about Gu Ruochu's identity. Zhang Yuan must have opened her mouth and told them about her daughter.
Even if Zhang Yuan had not kept her promise to remain silent, Huo Nanchen was more surprised that all the members of the Ning family had returned to Nan Cheng and left Cheng Xi alone in Country M. Even though some of his employees were at the hospital, the child would definitely panic if none of his relatives were present.
Huo Nanchen was furious. Ning Tangxi was such an irresponsible mother.
He took out his phone and called one of his employees in Country M. "Take good care of the child."
"Yes, boss."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Nanchen decided that he would go back to Country M to be with Cheng Xi.
However, he would have to explain the situation to Gu Ruochu.
"Boss, where are we going next?"
"We're going home."
Li Tezhu hesitated for a moment. He looked at Huo Nanchen pitifully and said, "Boss, you should change the dressing for the wound on your shoulder."
After the shooting incident, Huo Nanchen had gone home after getting a simple bandage at the hospital. He had been more worried about Gu Ruochu than his health. However, his shoulder had been pierced by several pieces of shattered glass, and his bandage needed to be changed.
"You should drive. Let's go to the hospital first."
Huo Nanchen opened the car door and went around the front of the car to change seats with Li Tezhu.
He had to recover from his injury, otherwise, Gu Ruochu would end up feeling sorry for him.
Huo Nanchen also had some news for his wife. While he was at the office, Ning Tang had called and asked if they could see Gu Ruochu.
Huo Nanchen felt that he did not have any right to stop Ning Tang and Zhang Yuan from seeing their daughter.
Gu Ruochu was the only person who could decide whether she wanted to see the couple or not.
