Ning Qiutong sat up straighter and looked at Zhuang Lingyu, "Cousin, you said that uncle is disappointing, but in my opinion, you are the one who is really disappointing!"
"What do you mean?" Zhuang Lingyu frowned.
"It's fine if outsiders don't know, but everyone present here knows very well that Ning Xueluo is just an adopted daughter, and Ning Xi is your biological daughter, the flesh and blood of our Ning family. What's wrong with uncle giving the shares to Ning Xi?"
"I didn't say that it was wrong for Dad to give the shares to Ning Xi. That was his right. What I was saying was why Xue Luo didn't have any!" Zhuang Lingyu said in a deep voice.
Ning Qiutong snorted coldly, "Well, let's talk about why we didn't give Ning Xueluo any shares!
Ning Xueluo was just an adopted daughter who was taken away by mistake in the hospital, but she enjoyed the luxurious life that should have belonged to Ning Xi for eighteen years. After the truth was revealed, she did not return to her original home and parents, but still stayed in our Ning family, occupying the title of the eldest daughter of the Ning family, and found a good marriage with Su Yan as the eldest daughter of the Ning family!
On the contrary, it was Ning Xi, a direct descendant of our Ning family, who had been wandering outside for eighteen years and had lived in poverty for eighteen years. She was finally found by the Ning family, but she could only be given the title of an adopted daughter. What should have belonged to her was taken away from her, and even the servants bullied her, calling her a wild chicken and a country bumpkin!
At this time, what are you doing as a parent? You are following others to blame her for being vulgar and unpresentable! What qualifications do you have to blame and insult her? Have you ever raised her or taught her for a day
Do you think you have fulfilled your parental duties by bringing your child home and providing her with food and clothing? With such cruel parents like you, it would be better for the child to continue to stay in the countryside and know nothing, rather than seeing the warmth and coldness of human nature and being stabbed in the heart by her own parents!!!"
After hearing this, there was dead silence at the table and no one spoke.
Ning Xueluo was stiff all over. Even Ning Yaohua and Zhuang Lingyu had dark faces and didn't say anything. The old man looked at Ning Xi with a guilty look on his face. Su Yan clenched his palms silently...
Ning Xi sat there quietly, looking at Ning Qiutong beside her with complicated eyes. She had long been numb and accustomed to the indifference of this circle. She didn't expect... Ning Qiutong could have completely stayed out of it today, but she would actually say these things for her...
These... words that no one had ever said for her...
Ning Qiutong paused, then looked at Ning Xueluo with a sharp gaze, "The assets that uncle gave Ning Xueluo are enough for her to marry in style and live a life of luxury. She is a country girl, eating and living in our Ning family's house, and bearing the title of the eldest daughter of the Ning family. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Tang Xueluo, I want to ask you, what else are you dissatisfied with? What qualifications do you have to ask for shares in our Ning family?!"
Listening to Ning Qiutong's every word, especially the word "Tang Xueluo", Ning Xueluo's shoulders trembled violently, her nails dug into her palms, her face drooped and her face was extremely gloomy. The next second, she stood up and rushed out...
Su Yan's expression tensed when he saw this, and he hurriedly chased after him.
"Ning Qiutong, you're going too far! Even if you are from the Ning family, this is our eldest family's family affair. When is it your turn to point fingers? You don't even know anything and yet you're talking nonsense here!" Zhuang Lingyu was furious when she saw her daughter running out sadly.
