The stepmother control group counterattacked with cubs in the era

Seeing Zhuang Xueqi return to the room, Ning Yuan seemed to be indifferent on the surface, but his back was secretly tense.

After all these years of marriage, the two have always kept their distance and lived their own lives.

The master bedroom was Zhuang Xueqi's private territory, and every time he entered, he would be kicked and scolded by Zhuang Xueqi and kicked out.

From the moment Zhuang Xueqi walked in, he was mentally prepared to be told to "get out".

To his surprise, Zhuang Xueqi went straight into the cloakroom without saying anything.

What does she mean?
Could it be that you want to keep him overnight to show your affection to him?
Humph, she was dreaming. He didn't want to divorce her just for the sake of their two children.

"Zhuang Xueqi, don't think that..."

When Ning Yuan arrived at the door of the cloakroom and saw Zhuang Xueqi packing her luggage, he stopped talking and asked, "What are you doing?"

Seeing that Zhuang Xueqi ignored him, he rushed in and kicked the suitcase open.

Zhuang Xueqi was so angry that she threw her clothes at him: "Are you sick?"

Ning Yuan took the clothes and threw them on the ground. "You are the one who is sick, Zhuang Xueqi. You insisted on having the child. Do you want to just give up now?"

After yelling, he did not forget to make his attitude clear: "Let me make it clear first, I do not agree to divorce."

Zhuang Xueqi stared at him, her chest heaving violently. After a while, she cursed him as "idiot", then bent down to stuff the scattered clothes back into the suitcase, while explaining her whereabouts:

"I'm going out of the country for some business. You can take care of Manman and Enbao for the next two days."

Ning Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that she was just going abroad.

"When will you be back? Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking this out of concern for you. I'm asking this on behalf of the children."

"I will tell them myself before I leave."

As we were talking, the luggage was packed.

Zhuang Xueqi closed the suitcase tightly, tilted her head to look at him, and said in a very unkind tone, "Get out, I need to rest."

Ning Yuan, who was driven back to the second bedroom next door, pointed at the wall and said, "Can you figure out what's going on? You're still acting like a spoiled brat at this time. You should kneel down to thank me, be grateful to me, and obey me in everything I say!"

When Ning Yuan imagined the scene of Zhuang Xueqi kneeling in front of him, massaging his legs and shoulders, he started laughing with his teeth bared.

……

"Mrs. Ning, why did you come to London at this time?"

Looking at Zhuang Xueqi standing outside the apartment door, Shen Mingzhu couldn't stop the surprise on her face.

Zhuang Xueqi didn't explain or say anything. She stated her purpose as soon as she entered the room:
"How much is the money I left with you now?"

Shen Mingzhu took out the account book, made a quick estimate, and reported a number to Zhuang Xueqi.

"Mrs. Ning, I saw the aviation accident of your mother's company. If you are in urgent need of money, I can cash in your stocks and bonds first."

Zhuang Xueqi shook her head. "I came here specially to ask you for a favor."

"You say."

Zhuang Xueqi looked at her quietly for a moment before speaking: "I hope you can keep this money safe for me. Don't tell anyone except me who asks."

Shen Mingzhu did not agree rashly: "Mrs. Ning, I am very grateful for your trust, but I also have my concerns. You know, I have a family and children, and I have seven or eight hundred employees behind me. I have to be responsible for them."

Zhuang Xueqi picked up the coffee and took a sip, then told Shen Mingzhu truthfully about the situation the Zhuang family was facing.

"Shen Mingzhu, I can guarantee you with my life that you will not be implicated in any way for keeping this money."

As she spoke, she took out paper and pen and asked Shen Mingzhu to write her a promissory note.

The IOU stated that the 1.25 million investment funds that Shen Mingzhu took from Zhuang Xueqi was a loan.

With this IOU, all the investment income generated by this money no longer has anything to do with Zhuang Xueqi, but belongs to Shen Mingzhu's personal property.

There is a huge risk here. If Shen Mingzhu does not acknowledge the debt in the future, Zhuang Xueqi will not be able to get the money back from Shen Mingzhu.

Seeing Zhuang Xueqi put away the IOU, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but joke:
"Mrs. Ning, do you trust me so much? What if I get greedy..."

Zhuang Xueqi interrupted her, "You can't do that, and you don't have the courage."

Shen Mingzhu was embarrassed. The broken ship still had three thousand nails. Even if the dealer was really finished, she was not someone she could afford to offend.

What's more, she is not short of money.

When seeing Zhuang Xueqi off, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but comfort her, "Mrs. Ning, in life, everything except life and death is trivial."

"Don't worry, I won't be upset."

After saying this with a mocking tone, Zhuang Xueqi took a step forward, then stopped after taking a few steps, turned around and gently hugged her.

"Thank you."

Shen Mingzhu smiled and hugged him back: "Although I don't think I can do this, I still want to say that if there is anything I can do to help, please feel free to ask."

"OK, bye."

"Goodbye."

The setting sun was like blood, and Zhuang Xueqi's slender and frail figure was bathed in the golden afterglow, lonely but strong.

This scene also gave Shen Mingzhu a new definition of a rich lady.

That kind of pride that comes from the bones will never bend the straight back no matter what desperate situation you face.

After returning to Mingyuan exhausted, Zhuang Xueqi saw two children playing happily in the living room. She put away her tiredness and walked towards the children with a smile.

"Manman, Enbao."

"mom!"

After chatting with the children for a while, Yan Jing asked her to go upstairs to talk.

"The death toll from this plane crash has reached sixty. There are currently seventeen missing persons and twenty-eight seriously injured. I just received news that your father has been taken away."

Zhuang Xueqi's body shook suddenly.

Yan Jing hurriedly supported her and comforted her softly: "No matter what, you will always be Manman and Enbao's biological mother."

The implication is that the Ning family can protect her, but cannot protect the Zhuang family.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, when she heard the news that Zhuang Shiqing had been arrested, she was still filled with panic and anxiety.

"Mom, please take care of Manman and Enbao for the next few days. I'm going home for a while."

Yan Jing patted her shoulder and said, "Go ahead."

Back to the dealer
The huge villa exuded a desolate and sad feeling as if no one had visited it. The nanny and the servants had all gone away, and Zhuang's mother was sitting alone on the sofa.

"mom."

Zhuang Xueqi opened her mouth, her voice filled with uncontrollable tears.

Mother Zhuang looked at her and said in a cold voice: "Why are you crying? He is not dead."

Zhuang Xueqi choked up: "Where's Xiaoxu?"

"Upstairs, he saw your father being taken away with his own eyes, and he was a little scared."

His tone was somewhat annoyed: "It has to be now. He will take the college entrance examination in a week."

With such a big change happening at home, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get good grades.

"Send Xiaoxu abroad. I have already contacted the school and asked someone to expedite the visa application. You can go with Xiaoxu."

Mother Zhuang looked at her, "What about you?"

"I still have Manman and Enbao. The Ning family will not ignore me."

Zhuang's mother was silent. "You arrange it."

Zhuang Xueqi went upstairs to comfort her younger brother Zhuang Xu and tell him about the family's arrangements.

Before she could speak, Zhuang Xu asked her a heart-wrenching question: "Sister, is Dad going to jail?" (End of this chapter)
