She's waiting for me there.

Jiang Miaoke looked at the dazed Ning Qinghua and said with a smile, "I didn't lie to you because I'm very selfish."

"So what's up with these photos?"

"Actually, I've been keeping an eye on Hongfei's recent situation, and he's been back in Ningshan City for a while now. My parents only came here after Jiang Li finished the college entrance examination."

Ning Qinghua frowned and asked, "So what does this have to do with the selfishness you mentioned?"

"I came back this time mainly for my brother. Our family isn't as well off as it seems. My parents' savings have actually run out over the years. Jiang Li is a medical student, so he needs to at least finish graduate school, but our family really can't afford it."

Jiang Miaoke looked at the photos on the wall, her eyes full of nostalgia and affection.

"And I...can't let him go."

Ning Qinghua's face slowly turned cold. "So you came back mainly for money?"

Jiang Miao didn't answer her question, but asked with a smile: "Haha, do you want to hear my story?"

The smile is still so gentle and sweet.

......

It was already late at night when Ning Qinghua left Jiang's house, and the rain outside had not stopped.

When she came out of the unit door, she was holding an umbrella in her hand without opening it. She walked forward with her head down, like a soulless body walking in the rain.

When she returned to the car, her body was soaked, but she still stared blankly ahead, not caring at all about the rain dripping through her hair.

It was raining heavily, and the street lights in the distance became dim. The streets in the distance seemed to be swallowed by darkness, with no light at all.

After a long time, Ning Qinghua took out her cell phone and looked at the secretly taken photos on it, then sent them to someone she hadn't contacted for a long time.

Ten seconds later, the phone rang.

After answering the call, a middle-aged man's voice came from the other end, but it was cold.

"Hey, what do you mean by sending me those pictures?"

"Old man, do me a favor and ask..."

Before she could finish, the middle-aged man snorted coldly and said in a mocking voice: "Oh, our Miss Ning also asks for help. It's really rare. Outside..."

"Are you going to help me or not?" Ning Qinghua asked stubbornly, biting her lip.

The middle-aged man said indifferently: "Oh! Why should I help you? When something happens, you remember that you still have a family? Usually..."

Ning Qinghua leaned over the steering wheel and suddenly cried out with a choked sob, "Dad..."

But I couldn't say the next words.

The middle-aged man over there was obviously stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat up from the sofa.

"No, my daughter, Dad was just joking with you. Look why you're still crying? I'll do whatever you want. Oh... don't cry, Dad was wrong... Otherwise, Dad will perform a backflip for you."

Hearing Ning Qinghua's sobbing, Ning Shen, as a father, felt heartbroken. He wanted to slap himself twice. His daughter had finally contacted him, and he was just being mean.

"dududu~~~"

Ning Shen looked at the hung-up phone and hurried out of the room, shouting angrily, "Ning Yuanbai, what the hell are you doing? Come over here! Has your sister been bullied? Why is she crying?"

A young man in his 20s walked out of the room slowly with an iPad in his hand. He was wearing a light blue robe and a nightcap on his head, looking very cute.

"Dad, stop yelling. Do you think I didn't hear what you said on the phone just now? It was you who made my sister cry, and now you're scolding me..."

Ning Yuanbai grumbled in dissatisfaction, his eyes never leaving the iPad.

Ning Shen coughed awkwardly, but for the sake of his dignity, which no longer existed, he still scolded forcefully: "You dare to talk back to me? If I can't deal with your sister, I can't deal with you either. Tomorrow..."

Ning Yuanbai immediately gave in, raised the tablet with an apologetic smile, and placed it in front of Ning Shen.

"Dad, don't worry. Look, my sister is in the car now. My people have been following her. She became like this after leaving the Jiang family. But with my sister's personality, she shouldn't be bullied."

Ning Shen took the iPad and enlarged the image a little. Although it was still raining in the video, he could still clearly see Ning Qinghua lying on the steering wheel.

Combined with the pictures she sent him, Ning Shen had already understood the general situation, and his uneasy heart calmed down a little. At least he was sure that his daughter was not bullied, she was probably just in a bad mood.

Ning Yuanbai shook the wizard hat on his head and said, "Dad, when will my sister come back? It's been several months and I haven't seen her."

"How would I know? Why don't you go ask her?"

"I'm not going. If you want to go, go ask. I'm afraid of getting beaten."

Ning Yuanbai unconsciously took a step back. It was obvious that Ning Qinghua interpreted the term "bloodline suppression" to the fullest. Who said that you should beat your younger brother early? Are you afraid that you will beat him more severely when he grows up?

Ning Shen shook his head: "You are the only one who is afraid. Have you forgotten who is the king and the queen in our family? You should wait until she has had enough fun and comes back by herself, otherwise..."

Suddenly, Ning Yuanbai pointed at the iPad and said with wide eyes, "My sister is coming. She must have discovered the people following her. This is terrible. Dad, you have to save me. If my sister asks, just say you sent someone to go. After all, she won't kill you."

"Get the hell out of here! How could you possibly screw me over like this? You're young, you can handle a beating, so stop making me take the blame."

"It's over, it's over, my sister is really here."

Ning Yuanbai's face turned pale with fright. Ning Qinghua had clearly told her not to let anyone from her family follow her, otherwise she would break his legs.

But Ning Yuanbai was not at ease with her being alone outside, so he spent a lot of money to hire an expert to follow her every day, but he didn't expect that he would still be discovered.

Ning Qinghua knocked on the car window, and the expert opened the door tremblingly.

After getting in the car, she took the phone next to her and said, "Turn on the volume. I know you and your son are watching over there."

After a while, there was no sound on the phone. The expert was sweating profusely. He now only hoped that the boss would speak quickly and not implicate innocent people.

"I'll count to three."

"2!"

Ning Yuanbai's voice immediately came from the phone: "Sister, you are so unique in the way you count. You never count by 1. Hahahaha~~~" His awkward laughter was heard in the car.

Ning Qinghua stared at her phone with red eyes. Although she couldn't see the screen on the other side, she still smiled.

"Dad, Yuanbai, I miss you."
