"Tangxi, shut your mouth!"
Ning Tang was enraged. He looked at his two children as they glared at Gu Ruochu maliciously. He could not understand why they could not tolerate their little sister.
Even though Ning Tang understood that the two siblings had received the news about Gu Ruochu on short notice, he did not expect them to make a scene in front of so many people.
"Tangxi, that's enough! You have no right to speak in front of the elders." Zhang Yuan was unusually harsh towards Ning Tangxi. Her warning eyes turned towards Ning Zongxuan and his sister.
"Father, Mother, can't we even speak up for ourselves? We're also your children. Are we not important in your eyes now?" Ning Tangxi's tone was full of disdain as she shifted her disdainful gaze away from Gu Ruochu.
"..."
Zhang Yuan sensed that the situation was about to get out of control. She looked at Ning Tangxi and Ning Zongxuan and reprimanded them.
"If you have any complaints, we can go home and talk about them. What impression are you giving the Huo family?"
"Go home and talk about it? I'm afraid that we won't be able to talk about it even if we go home! We'll have to air out our dirty linen in front of everyone today. Even in front of the board members of the Ning family's company!"
Other than Huo Nanchen, everyone else was in a daze.
Zhang Yuan had not expected Ning Tangxi to raise a ruckus in front of so many people. She was so angry that her head hurt. "Tangxi, listen to me. Let's go home and talk about it."
"No, we won't! You want to hand over father's company to the Gu family." Ning Tangxi was furious. She looked mockingly at Gu Ruochu. "I should call you my dear little sister, right? Do you think that you're my mother and father's biological daughter? My mother lied to you! Haha..."
Ning Tangxi's laugh terrified everyone at the table.
"Why won't you answer me?" Ning Tangxi had a smug smile on her face. "Haha, my father is comparable to the saint of love. To protect my mother, he agreed to the lie that you're his daughter!"
"Ning Tangxi, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Yuan was stunned. She thought that Ning Tangxi had found out about some of the details that she had left out, and her mind went blank.
Gu Zexi sat at the dining table and watched everything that was happening impassively.
Ning Zongxuan looked at his mother's guilty reaction and was even more sure about his guess. He sneered, "Dear mother, do you still want to continue your innocent act? Do you think that Tangxi and I don't know anything?"
"Shut up! Let's go home and talk."
"No, I haven't exposed you yet!"
Zhang Yuan walked over and wanted to drag the siblings out, but Ning Zongxuan pushed her away. When Ning Tang saw his son's action, he slapped with all his might.
Ning Zongxuan stared blankly at his father. It was the second time that his father had attacked him, and it all because of Zhang Yuan and Gu Ruochu.
Ning Zongxuan could not hold back his anger, and he roared, "Gu Ruochu is my mother's illegitimate daughter! Mother had an affair with an outsider! Father, have you gone mad? Are you willing to be cuckolded so that you can cover up your wife's *****ery? Have you gone mad..."
Another loud slap landed on Ning Zongxuan's face. This time, it was Zhang Yuan who had attacked him.
