Mr. Rong, please stay. Miss Sang doesn't want to be a widow.

Ning Xiner's eyes lit up when she heard this, a sly glint flashing across them. The joy in her heart was like the waves of the ocean, layer upon layer, wave after wave.

She never thought that her plan would be realized so soon.

Obtaining shares in the Bo Group is the first step.

Participating in the management of the group's affairs is the second step.

There are still third and fourth steps to come.

Having achieved the first two steps, we are basically halfway to success.

Ning Xiner put her arms around Ning Wanzhen's neck and acted like a child, "Aunt, don't worry. I will definitely look after them for you from now on. I will never let my cousin, you, or the Bo family's reputation be damaged."

Ning Wanzhen's eyes reddened again after hearing these words. She touched the back of Ning Xiner's head and said, "Xiner, I wish you were my biological daughter."

Ning Xiner gently kissed her cheek and said, "Aunt, from now on, I am your daughter, closer than your own."

Ning Wanzhen felt a sore nose, but her heart was warm.

In the past four years, she lost her husband and only son, and she felt lonely.

Although Sang Yuwan treated her well, she was still his daughter-in-law, not his own child.

Ning Xiner is different. She is Ning's niece and has Ning family blood flowing in her veins.

The steward came in and saw this. He coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Madam, the Ming family has sent an invitation. Please take a look."

Ning Xiner hurriedly let go of her hand and sat down next to Ning Wanzhen. She asked curiously, "Ming family? Is that my cousin's family?"

Ning Wanzhen already cared about Sang Yuwan and Ming Zhan's relationship and didn't have a good impression of the Ming family. Now, hearing the words "Ming family" made her feel indescribably upset.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ning Xiner hurriedly stood up and took the invitation from the steward. Then she slowly opened it and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Ming's birthday party."

Ning Wanzhen frowned, "Mingyu?"

The butler boldly added, "It's Mr. Ming's sixtieth birthday."

Ning Wanzhen sneered, "My family's Xingzhi passed away, and no one from the Ming family came. He's celebrating his birthday, and he invites me? Ha."

Ning Xiner rolled her eyes slightly and asked in confusion, "My cousin passed away, why didn't the Ming family come to offer condolences? Not only do they not care about my cousin, they also don't care about my aunt and the Bo family."

The steward broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

Ning Wanzhen's face suddenly turned dark.

Ning Xiner continued, "The Ming family is considered an upper-class family, so they wouldn't be so rude. Perhaps it's my cousin's wife who doesn't want them to come."

The steward felt a chill on his back.

Ning Wanzhen was immediately furious, her face as black as the bottom of a pot, "Why did she do this?"

Ning Xiner shuddered with fear and said anxiously, "Aunt, I'm talking nonsense. My cousin's wife wouldn't do that... You... Don't be angry."

The butler gasped.

It’s such a pity that Ning Xiner doesn’t go into acting.

Ning Wanzhen believed her words, with rage in her eyes. She took the invitation and tore it to pieces.

The steward was horrified when he saw this, "Madam, this..."

"Go tell Sang Yuwan that the threshold of the Ming family is too high and I can't step in." Ning Wanzhen said angrily.

Ning Xiner lowered her head and bit her lips, afraid that she would laugh out loud.

She didn't expect that the relationship between Ning Wanzhen and Sang Yuwan was so fragile that it could be torn apart by just a few words.

Next, it’s time to get rid of the baby in Sang Yuwan’s belly.

The steward trembled with fear, looking helpless and uneasy, "Old Madam, there is no benefit in getting into trouble with the head of the family at this time."

Before Ning Wanzhen could say anything, Ning Xiner interrupted, "Uncle Lin, please don't talk nonsense. When did Aunt and Cousin's wife become so upset? Aunt doesn't want to go because the mourning period for my cousin hasn't passed yet."

Ning Wanzhen felt a sharp pain in her internal organs when she heard this, and the muscles on her face twitched slightly. "Xin'er is right. Tell the head of the family that she is not allowed to go until the mourning period is over."

The steward was startled and lowered his head. "Yes, old lady."

He had merely given a warning, yet Ning Xiner had exploited the situation. From now on, he would resolutely not say anything more.

Ning Xiner watched him leave and began to fan the flames again, "Aunt, he's actually right. My cousin's wife is the head of the family now and has absolute say in the Bo family. You can't stop her from doing anything she wants."

At the end, he added, "Just like she moved out of the old house just a week after her cousin died."

A few words seemed to add fuel to the fire.

Ning Wanzhen's chest heaved violently with anger, and her eyes were wide open and red.

"If she really pissed me off, I'd make sure she got nothing."

"Aunt, you..." Ning Xiner gently stroked her chest and soothed her softly, "Aunt, calm down. We just need to be more careful from now on."

Ning Wanzhen's face turned pale and she said nothing.

-

Qinghe Garden.

Sang Yuwan turned off the surveillance screen and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"5% of the shares, Ning Xiner is really amazing."

Minglang came up with a bowl of Tremella soup in his hand.

Sang Yuwan said to him, "Tell the eldest young master that I will definitely attend Uncle Ming's birthday party."

Minglang placed the Tremella Soup on the coffee table in front of her, frowning slightly, "Madam, aren't you afraid that the old lady will be angry?"

Sang Yuwan's expression was calm. "If I were afraid of this and that, how could I have come to this day?"

Minglang said worriedly, "Madam, the old lady has already given 5% of her shares to Ning Xiner. If she gives her another 5%, Ning Xiner will become the majority shareholder."

Sang Yuwan picked up a small white porcelain spoon and gently stirred the Tremella soup. Her starry eyes seemed to smile, "Do you think Ning Wanzhen is stupid?"

Minglang was stunned for a moment and shook his head. "She's not stupid, but she couldn't stand Ning Xiner's instigation."

"Although Ning Wanzhen has lived a life of luxury for many years, she is not without a bit of scheming." Sang Yuwan picked up the porcelain bowl and ate the white fungus soup in small bites.

Seeing this, Minglang turned around and went downstairs without saying anything else.

Sang Yuwan finished drinking the Tremella soup and moved around a bit.

She was about to go to the study when Liu Changqing called her.

"Mr. Liu."

"Chairman, are you able to talk now?"

Liu Changqing's voice sounded uneasy, even a little flustered.

Sang Yuwan leaned against the back of the sofa and said in a cold voice, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Liu Changqing lowered his voice and said, "Chairman, if it's convenient for you, please come to Gucheng."

Sang Yuwan's heart skipped a beat, and a vague sense of foreboding emerged. His brows furrowed, and his tone became more serious, "What can't be said over the phone?"

Liu Changqing took a deep breath, his voice tense, "I met Secretary Gu's father in Gucheng, and he told me..."

He suddenly stopped, as if he had difficulty in saying the following words.

Sang Yuwan's heart was pounding as she suddenly reacted.

Gucheng is Gu Jingheng's hometown.

After Gu Jingheng's parents came to Bo's house that night, they returned to Gucheng.

They originally wanted to use Bo Xingzhi and Gu Jingheng's marriage certificate to blackmail him, but unexpectedly, the result was the opposite of what they expected.

They must be unwilling to accept the fact that they had finally had a chance to make a fortune and lost it just like that.

Now, they want to use Liu Changqing to blackmail me again. Such people are really despicable.

Sang Yuwan's lips curved slightly, and her voice was cold and clear, "Boss Liu, please continue."

Liu Changqing's voice trembled, "Secretary Gu's father told me that between Mr. Bo and Secretary Gu..."
