"Ning Yang, Young Master Ning! Listen to my advice. The old master is dying, and your father can't make decisions because of excessive drinking. You are now the only son of the Ning family!"
"The three hundred local directors of the Ning family are waiting for your orders. Most of the rich and powerful families in the world are ready to meet you."
"If you don't agree to be the new head of the family, without a leader, it will cause a sensation throughout the world! Young master, don't hesitate anymore!"
Old Wu stood aside and tried to persuade a young man in his twenties.
"First! My name is not Ning Yang, but Ning Xuan! It means that I don't have to be an illegitimate child!"
"Second! What does the Ning family have to do with me? Back then, the old master expelled me from the Ning family, and even my father, a nobody, did not plead for me. I have already drawn a clear line with you."
"Third! It's not impossible for you to want me to be the family head..."
Seeing that Ning Xuan had agreed, Old Wu's face lit up and he immediately said, "Young master, what do you want? Even if it's a ticket to the moon, I can get it. After all, the international Yuhang Bureau has half of the share of the Ning family..."
Before he could finish, Ning Xuan waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's not that troublesome. I only have one request. I won't look for you. Don't bother me, and don't disturb my family."
"As for the CEO and the head of the family, just let them wait. When I'm in a good mood, I'll talk about it."
After that, Ning Xuan opened the car door, got out of the world's limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom, and walked straight into the gate of the Xia family.
The Xia family, however, was a small family in Jiang Ling City. The Xia Group was not even ranked in the top 100 in Jiang Ling City.
Ning Xuan's father was the next leader of the Ning family, a hundred-year-old noble family, and he was just the drunkard's father. He was an illegitimate child of a waiter after getting drunk.
As a hundred-year-old aristocratic family, the Ning family was very strict and strict, so the clansmen were not allowed to have any stain. Ning Xuan could only hide his identity and be a servant of the Ning family, living in disgrace.
Until three years ago, his illegitimate child identity was exposed, and he was expelled from the family by the Old Master with good reputation. He was almost starved to death on the street. Fortunately, he was taken in by the Xia family. Later, the Old Master Xia tried his best to stand out and let Ning Xuan marry his most beloved little granddaughter, which shocked the whole Jiangzhou.
"Ning Xuan! Stop right there!"
Just as Ning Xuan was about to return to his room, a delicate voice came from behind him.
Not far away stood a young and beautiful woman. She was slender, her eyebrows were slender, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were as clear as clear water. She looked like a luminous pearl.
Xia Yueru, Ning Xuan's wife, was a famous beauty in Jiang Ling City. She was also the apple of the Xia family's eye. Because she married Ning Xuan, a good-for-nothing, she became the laughingstock of the whole Jiang Ling.
Xia Yueru looked at Ning Xuan angrily and said, "I asked you to be a security guard in the company. Why didn't you go? Do you think it's too shameful to be a security guard? Let me tell you! A good-for-nothing like you, my dad agreed to let you be a security guard in his company. You can just enjoy it secretly!"
After that, she looked at Ning Xuan with some disappointment. Back then, her grandfather had married her to this piece of trash and made her the laughingstock of everyone. Every time she privately discussed a divorce with her grandfather, her grandfather would become furious.
Three years had passed, and her grandfather had left because of a serious illness. She was gradually getting used to it and no longer struggled. She wanted to make her grandfather feel at ease.
But there were always people who talked about this in private. She had tried hard to accept Ning Xuan and make him the backbone of the Xia family. However, the reality was cruel to her.
In the past three years, other than eating, drinking, and having fun, Ning Xuan had nothing else to do. In order to stop her from nagging, he took the initiative to wash clothes and cook. This made Xia Yueru look down on him even more.
It was ridiculous for a man to live like this!
"I don't mind. It's just that a security guard wants me to be a security guard. He has underestimated me too much."
Ning Xuan explained calmly.
He had stayed in the Ning family for 18 years and secretly learned the best cultivation method in the world. He had studied medical skills, martial arts skills, and even magic fortune-telling. With his ability, he was not interested in even being the chairman of the Xia Group.
"Did I look down on you? What else could you do other than washing clothes and cooking?"
Xia Yue looked at Ning Xuan with great disappointment. Her efforts were all in vain. This person would never become the man she wanted.
"Dear, your clothes are a little old. I don't want to lose them, so I'm going to buy you some beautiful clothes."
Ning Xuan grinned and changed the subject.
"Shut up! I told you, don't call me wife when there is no one! I am not your wife! Don't expect me to be your real wife in this life!"
The more Xia Yue spoke, the angrier she became. Ning Xuan rushed forward in a few quick steps and hugged Xia Yueru in an attempt to comfort her. "Good, good, good. Yueru, calm down."
In the face of Xia Yue's endless insults, Ning Xuan did not care about it at all. Back then, the Old Master of the Xia family had taken him in, and he would repay him with a drop of water. The Old Master had already left. He wanted to use all of his kindness on Xia Yueru.
"Don't touch me!"
Xia Yue took a deep breath and pushed him away. She frowned and said, "Today is my dad's 50th birthday. He will hold a birthday party at the Heyuan Hotel tonight."
"This is 20,000 yuan. Go buy some gifts, wrap them beautifully, and give them to my dad in the evening."
Ning Xuan received the bank card that Xia Yue Ru had stuffed into his hand. He was slightly startled and shook his head. "Keep this money. I still have money."
"Just take it. Don't think that I'm doing it for you. I'm afraid that your gift will be too shabby and lose my face. Besides, my father has been in a bad mood recently because of the failure of the Tianhao Group's project. Please don't make any mistakes and annoy my father!"
Xia Yue said coldly.
"Don't worry. The gifts I'll give you tonight will definitely become the focus of attention and earn you enough face!"
"Don't talk nonsense. You? Don't make me lose face in front of so many people at home. I'm glad."
Xia Yueru rolled her eyes at him and then turned to leave.
Ning Xuan looked at her back and sighed. "From today on, I will make you the happiest woman in the world."
He took out his phone and dialed Old Wu's number. "Old Wu, prepare a gift for me."
"Young master, what level do you want? I'll send someone to the Louvre to buy a few rare collections for you."
"There's no need to make such an eye-catching gift. Go..."
...
In the evening, at the Heyuan Hotel.
Xia Yueru's father, Xia Changyuan, was here to celebrate his 50th birthday.
Xia Changyuan was the head of the main branch of the Xia family. The Old Master had many shares, real estate, and companies under his name. The most profitable Xia Group had been inherited by the eldest son, Xia Changyuan. In the Xia family, he was the most powerful person except for the old lady. Therefore, many relatives of the Xia family rushed over to celebrate Xia Changyuan's birthday.
In the attic, Xia Changyuan was chatting with the other rooms.
"Big brother, why are you so upset today?"
It was Xia Yan from the second branch, Xia Changyuan's second younger brother.
"Hey, don't mention it. A few days ago, I talked with the Tianhao Group about a project of 30 million yuan. Their price was too high, and the deal broke down."
Xia Changyuan shook his head.
"Don't blame yourself. The Tianhao Group is a first-class company in Jiangling. I have dealt with them. The contract is well-known for being a tyrannical one. A small family like us can't catch the eye of others at all. There are many companies that are trying to do business with them."
"That's right. For this project, my parents lost several pounds of weight."
Xia Changyuan's wife, Jiang Qin, also sighed.
"It's almost time. The guests are all here. Let's go down first."
The group of people got up and went downstairs. The guests waiting in the lobby got up one after another and congratulated Xia Changyuan.
"Ning Xuan? Why are you here?"
Jiang Qin looked at Ning Xuan with an unhappy expression, her face full of disgust. Her beloved youngest daughter had married Ning Xuan, who was such a good-for-nothing. This matter had always bothered her.
On usual days, she chatted with her relatives and friends and listened to how outstanding and filial the son-in-law of others was. Her heart was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. When she thought of her useless son-in-law, she was furious.
Her daughter was a famous beauty in Jiang Ling's family. There were countless young masters from rich and powerful families who had come to her house to propose marriage. However, the old man had chosen him. It was true that a good cabbage had been taken advantage of by a pig!
"Mother-in-law, I'm here to celebrate father-in-law's birthday."
Ning Xuan spoke in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
"A birthday party? What did you bring with you for your birthday party? Did you come empty-handed?"
Jiang Qin glanced at the empty-handed Ning Xuan and said with disdain.
The onlookers all burst into laughter.
