Standing at the door of the bathroom, Ning Xi was so uneasy that she almost went straight into the women's restroom. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted and rushed in the opposite direction.
After washing my face, I finally calmed down a little. As a result, as soon as I came out, I saw... Zhuang Keer in the corridor outside.
Just now, when she was playing with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, the two sisters had gossiped with her about many things. The one they talked about the most was Zhuang Ke'er. Of course, they also talked about the things between Zhuang Ke'er and Lu Tingxiao.
Therefore, at this moment, she really didn't know what attitude she should adopt towards Zhuang Keer, so she decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
Sure enough, seeing that she was silent, Zhuang Ke'er couldn't help but speak first, "I know I don't have the right to ask more questions... but... is it true... that you and Lu Tingxiao... really have that kind of relationship?"
Ning Xi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard that. It looked like she was here to blame him for stealing her lover
Although the Imperial Capital Banker is certainly not as good as the Lu Family in the business world, the background of the Banker... is something that even top aristocratic families like the Lu Family would not underestimate, and it is what they need the most.
The reason why Lu Chongshan's favorite daughter-in-law is Zhuang Ke'er is obviously because he wants to use the banker behind Zhuang Ke'er to protect the Lu family and make the Lu family more stable.
Speaking of the banker... he has a very... subtle connection with Ning Xi...
The old man of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Zongren, had one son and three daughters. Ning Xi's biological mother, Zhuang Lingyu, was Zhuang Zongren's youngest daughter. She severed her father-daughter relationship with Zhuang Zongren because she insisted on marrying Ning Yaohua. They had no contact for more than 20 years. Therefore, except for some older generations who knew the inside story, most people in the outside world thought that Zhuang Zongren only had two daughters. Even the younger generations of the Zhuang family did not know.
Ning Xi knew this because she accidentally overheard a conversation between Zhuang Lingyu and Ning Yaohua...
Ning Yaohua seemed to have encountered some difficulties at the time and hoped that Zhuang Lingyu could go back and ask her father-in-law for help. Later, Zhuang Lingyu refused and said something like she would never go back in her life...
Zhuang Keer is Zhuang Zongren's granddaughter, and Ning Xi is Zhuang Zongren's granddaughter-in-law, so in terms of blood relationship, they are cousins.
This is really... quite a mess...
However, Ning Xi just thought about it casually and didn't care at all. She didn't even recognize Zhuang Lingyu, so would she care about her grandfather and cousin who were thousands of miles away
"What if it's true? What if it's false?" Ning Xi did not answer, but asked a question instead.
"Fake..." Zhuang Ke'er's voice trembled. She wished it was fake... But, it was impossible... They were already there... She was just deceiving herself...
Finally, Zhuang Keer took a deep breath, regained her calm expression, and said, "If it's true, then I give up."
"Huh?" Ning Xi was inevitably stunned because she had never expected Zhuang Ke'er to give such an answer, which was totally inconsistent with her competitive personality.
Zhuang Ke'er clenched her fists, stared at her with burning eyes, and spoke word by word, "Originally, Lu Tingxiao, I was determined to get it. Because it was you, I gave up... I... I won't compete with you..."
After Zhuang Keer finished speaking, she walked away quickly in her high heels, as if she was afraid that her emotions would get out of control.
Ning Xi looked at Zhuang Ke'er's proud and humble back as she left, and was dumbfounded again: "..."
Something seemed wrong... Did she misunderstand
Why did she have the illusion that Zhuang Ke'er's true love was her, not Lu Tingxiao
