Chapter 127 Curious about Gu Huaijing’s reaction
Ning Xi subconsciously wanted to say that she was pregnant.
But thinking that grandma still didn't know about her divorce and pregnancy, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.
"I don't want to get married yet. If Grandma He wants He Zhao to get married and have children earlier, I can take the initiative to terminate the engagement."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. He's expression immediately changed.
But this fact couldn't be forced, and she couldn't help but sigh.
Just when she was about to let go and just let it go, He Zhao finally calmed down and said in a very firm tone, "Ning Xi, it's okay, I'm willing to wait for you!"
Mrs. He looked at her grandson in surprise. Did this brat suddenly become enlightened?
He Zhao looked at Ning Xi intently and continued: "I know you put your career first, don't worry, I will never interfere with your work, and I fully support your ideas!"
Mrs. Wen next to her was a little moved when she heard this.
Ning Xi didn't want to embarrass him and said softly: "Thank you, but you'd better look at others."
While a few people were talking, James walked around the hall, walked mysteriously to Wen Mochen, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, didn't you just say that Gu Huaijing was here? Where are the others?"
Wen Mochen glanced at him and lowered his voice and said, "He left a long time ago. Why are you mentioning him when you have nothing to do?"
Noticing the scene in front of him, James quickly fell silent.
He sat down and said in an inaudible voice, "Aren't I curious about his reaction after knowing Xiao Xi's identity? What a pity."
Wen Mochen agreed, "Yes."
"What are you two whispering about?"
Mrs. Wen looked at them strangely and asked casually, "Guests, please take care of me. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
"Don't leave yet." Wen Mochen said helplessly, "Ning Zhiyuan will be here soon."
"What is he here for?"
Hearing Ning Zhiyuan's name, Mrs. Wen's eyes turned cold, "Didn't I tell you not to invite him? Do you still think that he didn't hurt Qingqing deeply enough?"
Wen Mochen sighed, "Xiao Xi is his daughter after all, so she needs to be notified."
The voice just fell.
Ning Zhiyuan came over. He looked at Ning Xi, who was sitting at the table with a cold face, and his nose felt a little sour.
Seeing this, Wen Mochen snorted coldly, "Stop looking."
"Sorry, I lost my temper." Wen Mochen took the initiative to walk to Mrs. Wen, "Mom..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Wen turned cold and dropped the tea cup on the table in disgust, "Don't call me mom, I can't afford it!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the table instantly became cold. Even He Zhao, who was chattering endlessly, noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Ning Xi had long known that her grandmother and uncle's attitude towards Ning Zhiyuan was not right, but she never knew why.
But when she heard Ning Zhiyuan calling her grandma just now, she tightened her grip on the water glass.
Is it...
Is Ning Zhiyuan her biological father?
As if to confirm her idea, Ning Zhiyuan walked up to her with red eyes, wanted to touch her hair with trembling hands, but held back.
"Xiao Xi, I am yours..."
Before he could finish his words, Wen Mochen interrupted with a sneer, "How dare you say that? If it weren't for you back then, Xiao Xi wouldn't have lost it."
Ning Zhiyuan hesitated to speak, "I'm sorry, this matter... I have difficulties."
"What's the reason?"
Wen Mochen suppressed his anger and burst out in an instant, "After all, Xiao Xi is back now. This invitation to you is just for you to take a look. In the future, never disturb Qingqing and Xiao Xi again!"
Ning Zhiyuan's reddish eyes were filled with guilt, "Mo Chen."
"I don't want to hear your explanation." Wen Mochen directly issued an eviction order, "Since you have seen it, please leave!"
Ning Zhiyuan had no choice but to give up and walk towards the door hunched over.
He looked at the undisguised disgust in his uncle's eyes.
Ning Xi frowned in confusion. What happened between them? Why was the hostility so deep?
Her mind was in chaos and she had no clue.
Really unable to understand, she took out her phone and sent a message to James, "Brother, do you know what happened at home before?"
After seeing the message, James decided to play dumb and said, "I don't know. Why don't you ask your uncle?"
Although he said he didn't know, he still had some vague impressions of what happened more than twenty years ago.
He remembered that at that time, his sister-in-law would always stand alone by the balcony, with loneliness and pain in her eyes that he could not understand.
In the end, this silence turned into suicide. She said that she wanted to free herself.
Thinking of that scene, James clenched his hands at his sides.
Soon the party came to an end.
He Zhao originally planned to wait for the banquet to end and send Ning Xi and Mrs. Wen home in person. Unexpectedly, when the banquet was about to end, his cell phone suddenly rang.
"He Zhao, come and pick me up quickly, my car has overturned!"
He Zhao cursed, "No time."
"Please, Brother Zhao, come and save my life!"
Hearing that the other end of the phone didn't sound like he was lying, He Zhao gritted his teeth and said "wait", reluctantly greeted Ning Xi, and then took the car keys and left the hotel.
But just as he hurriedly walked out of the hotel door, an old woman stood in front of him and looked at him hesitantly, "Are you... He Zhao?"
He Zhao stopped and asked, "Who are you?"
The old woman stared at him for more than ten seconds, then reluctantly said, "I hugged you when you were a child, but I didn't expect you to have grown so big in such a short time."
"Oh."
I saw this old woman dressed well.
He Zhao thought she was also here to attend the Wen family recognition banquet, so he politely said, "I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first."
If Ning Xi came out and saw this old woman at this time, she would recognize at a glance that this woman is Gu Huaijing's mother!
