" Alright! Very well. Now that all is settled, princess, you must have something. Did you look at yourself these days in the mirror? See you have dried up so much... My heart aches...
Come come... Let's have some first... " Elder Ning clapped his hands and said.
And in no time, every kind of food was presented before her. And two men, one old and another young started scooping a little bit of this and that for her.
Bliss... d=(´▽｀)=b
But.. Ning Mei's face was still down. Still, She finished up everything that was given to her.
After breakfast, Ning Jiming gave her all the gifts that he brought for her. She scolded him a little for wasting so much money and then reluctantly took it.
...
Later that night, Ning Mei went opened her Weibo and found a lot of shaming comments on her post.
Well, she had just a few hundred followers. And she posted some of her daily life pics and videos from the parties and banquets... So, she wanted to be an actress.
If she saw this many comments any other time, then she would have done a tango dance then and there, but now...
So she got up and saw that it was already nine. She put on her sleepers and went to her grandfather's study.
When she reached there, she saw that the door was slightly open and the lights were on.
'Grandpa is still awake? ' Ning Mei thought raising an eyebrow. She went near the room and heard Ning Jiming and Ning Gongxue discussing something.
She knocked on the door, and after two seconds heard her grandpa's voice, " Who is it? "
" It's me, Grandpa .... " Ning Mei said in her usual sweet voice.
" Oh, Mei mei, Come on in.. " an old but energetic voice was heard.
When she went in, she was greeted by Ning Jiming's and Ning Gongxue's smiley faces and she felt a little guilty.
Clenching her dress, she stood in front of them, like a little kid who has done some terrible mistake.
Seeing her position, Ning Jiming laughed and said, " Xiao Mei, what's wrong? Why are you standing there looking so guilty? The last time, you were like this was when you stole Fang Ye's sweets and chocolates.. "
Ning Mei licked her lips and then opened her mouth and closed it without uttering anything like a goldfish.
Then she heard, Elder Ning say, "Yes Princess, do you need something? "
Hearing his words, Ning Mei slowly nodded. And then said in a low voice, " Grandpa... I... "
" Yes, yes, princess, what do you want? You can speak freely. I can give you any anything under the sky!" Elder Ning was all smiles. Well, he was really biased. He never liked when his other grandchildren asked him things, but her...
" Grandpa, I am being cursed! " Ning Mei's voice was less than a whisper.
Elder Ning became quiet hearing her. Ning Jiming said, " Xiao Mei, you don't need to worry about it. I and grandpa will handle it. You should go and rest. When you wake up tomorrow, every single negative news will vanish. I promise... "
Ning Jiming's brotherly concern could surely melt anyone's heart.
Ning Mei bit her lip and said, " No brother, don't do anything. I don't want you to clear my name. "
Ning Jiming frowned and said, " Why? " She didn't him to clean her name?
Ning Mei slowly raised her face and looked at both of them and said, " I want to leave the country. "
Silence followed that single sentence.
Elder Ning's mind went blank at first, then after a whole minute, he was bewildered.
What the...
" Mei mei!!! What are you saying? This is not something to joke around!! Do you want to leave me, leave your brother, that's country, family, and friends, and go away! You wish!!! I will not allow it! No way! " Elder Ning burst out in anger.
Ning Mei released a sigh. She knew this was not going to be easy. He didn't even listen to her completely.
No longer, Ning Jiming also followed with a dark face, " Mei mei, what's wrong? Did someone say anything? Is it about the online comments or what? "
Ning Mei pursed her lips and then walked to the two men who had stood up in anger and made them sit on a couch, dragged a chair, and sat in front of them.
Both the men in front of her were spilling fire from their eyes. She huffed and said, " Now listen to me carefully and no cutting in between. "
None of them said anything, still maintaining their posture.
And she continued, " So, I want to go abroad for higher studies. I want to change myself. I want to see the world and be a better person... "
" That you can also do it while living in the country.! " Elder Ning retorted.
" Grandpa! Listen!! I want to see the world!!!! I also want to be independent and... "
" You don't need to be independent! I can always provide for you! " This time Ning Jiming cut her words.
