The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Ning Miaofu's eyes lit up, and she stared into Ning Xi's eyes. Seeing that she was avoiding him and looked guilty, she said gently, "Do you want to know about your father's recent situation?"

Ning Xi lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at Ning Miaofu, and nodded.

"You don't have to be so cautious. Just ask if you want to. I don't blame him anymore."

What? For a moment, Ning Xi felt as if she was hallucinating.

"Aunt, is that true?" she asked.

"Of course. When has your aunt ever lied to you?"

Ning Xi thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. It turned out that she no longer hated him... She was secretly happy.

"Don't worry, he has let go of a lot. Besides, he has been living a relatively stable life recently."

Ning Miaofu's words carried a subtle sense of relief. "In fact, he concealed his connection with the Wen family because of your grandfather. Wen Fuheng had some...secrets of your grandfather, and he used them to threaten him."

Ning Xi was shocked when she heard this, but she was also distressed and confused. "Grandpa? How... could this happen?"

Ning Miaofu patted the back of her hand gently. "Let the past be the past. What's important is the present and the future. Your father has always cared about you, but he just expressed it in a different way."

Hearing Ning Miaofu's comfort, Ning Xi came back to her senses: "Aunt, I understand."

"By the way, aunt, do you know where my father lives now?"

Ning Miaofu smiled slightly, as if she saw through Ning Xi's thoughts: "Are you planning to invite him in person? That's fine, after all, blood is thicker than water, he is your father after all."

Early the next morning, Ning Xi was about to rush to the hospital when she walked out the door.

Suddenly I remembered what Ji Yunxu said before, that Ning Zhiyuan gave up the experiment because of her.

She thought carefully for a moment and finally decided to go see Ning Zhiyuan first.

The car drove slowly along the green road and finally stopped in front of a simple and elegant house.

Looking at the lush green trees around, Ning Xi was a little surprised. After all, she had never thought that Ning Zhiyuan lived here.

When Ning Xi got out of the car, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a black car not far away. Her heart tightened. Wasn't that car Gu Huaijing's? Why was he here?

Full of doubts, Ning Xi walked closer and confirmed that the license plate number was correct. It was indeed Gu Huaijing's car.

She felt mixed emotions, not understanding why Gu Huaijing was here, and even less understanding what the relationship between him and Ning Zhiyuan was.

She walked to the door, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to ring the doorbell.

The moment the door opened, she was stunned. Standing behind the door was Gu Huaijing's assistant Li Mingyou.

"Why are you here? Where is Gu Huaijing?" Ning Xi's voice was filled with confusion and nervousness.

Li Mingyou pushed his glasses, turned sideways and pointed to a corner of the living room.

"Mr. Gu is inside, please."

Ning Xi walked into the house full of suspicion, and the scene in front of her made her even more shocked.

I saw Gu Huaijing and Ning Zhiyuan sitting side by side on the ground, with empty wine bottles scattered around them. Each of them was holding an unfinished bottle of wine in their hands, and they were chatting animatedly.

"Hey...you don't know what I did back then..." Ning Zhiyuan sighed and took another big gulp of wine when he said this.

"Uncle, what happened back then?" Gu Huaijing asked curiously.

Ning Xi stood aside, in a dilemma. The scene was so weird that she didn't know what to do for a moment.

She turned to look at Li Mingyou, trying to find the answer from him.

"Am I crazy, or is this world crazy? How could the two of them get together?" Ning Xi asked in a low voice.

Li Mingyou coughed lightly and explained, "Ms. Ning, this is a long story. But in short, Mr. Gu was in a bad mood recently because of some personal matters. He also learned that he would cooperate with Mr. Ning on a project, so he wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the situation. Unexpectedly, he ran into Mr. Ning who was also in a bad mood, and the two of them started chatting."

Gu Huaijing came to find Ning Zhiyuan at this time. Ning Xi frowned. Could this guy be trying to cause trouble?

Thinking of this, Ning Xi quickly walked up to the two of them, interrupted their conversation, and snatched the bottle of wine from Gu Huaijing's hand.

When Gu Huaijing saw Ning Xi, his eyes were dazed and he felt like it was an illusion at that moment.

"You...why are you here?"

"Gu Huaijing! What are you doing here? I have something to tell my dad, get out of here right now."

Gu Huaijing looked at Ning Xi, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure: "Okay, I'll leave now."

He stood up and walked towards the door with heavy steps. Before leaving, he turned back and asked, "Are you going to talk to your uncle about the wedding?"

Ning Xi did not answer directly, but her silence said it all.

When Gu Huaijing saw this, he felt a chill in his heart, as if his heart was about to break.

When Ning Zhiyuan heard the word "wedding", an unconcealable surprise flashed in his eyes, and the bottle of wine in his hand was thrown aside with a crisp sound.

"Are you really getting married? Who's the groom?"

"Xiao Xi's groom is me."

At this time, a clear and confident voice came from outside the door, and He Zhao's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Everyone looked towards the door.

Ning Xi widened her eyes, looking incredulous: "Why are you here?"

He Zhao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I...I came to find you. I saw that you were in a bad mood and was afraid that something might happen to you, so I followed you all the way."

He walked forward as he spoke, and when he passed Gu Huaijing, he gave him a deliberately provocative look, as if silently declaring his sovereignty.

When he came in front of Ning Zhiyuan, He Zhao respectfully called out, "Uncle Ning."

Afterwards, he changed the subject and began to talk incessantly about his relationship with Ning Xi. His words were full of confidence and pride, which made Ning Xi roll her eyes and secretly cursed this guy in her heart for being a "troublemaker".

"Both of you, get out of here and stop making trouble!"

Ning Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted He Zhao's "speech" with a dark face.

Her tone was both helpless and angry. These two uninvited guests completely disrupted her plans.

He Zhao looked aggrieved, as if he had suffered a great injustice: "Xiao Xi, I am your fiancé, how could you do this to me?"

As he spoke, he looked at Ning Zhiyuan, trying to seek support: "I still want to show my courtesy to my future father-in-law..."

Gu Huaijing and Li Mingyou looked at each other, walked forward tacitly, carried He Zhao on the left and right, and dragged him out the door.

"Stop embarrassing yourself here and let's go." Gu Huaijing said coldly.

"No! You two, let me go! Gu Huaijing, let me go!" He Zhao's struggling sound gradually faded away, and the living room finally regained a moment of tranquility.

Ning Xi and Ning Zhiyuan sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Ning Xi was the first to break the silence: "Dad."
