Shi Yong’s mood was indescribable. He glared fiercely at Qu Li.

Uncle Wen and Sister Yu’s shocked expressions made him feel ashamed.

He forced a smile as he blurted, “Xiaoyu, Mom was just joking with you. You being able to stay by Young Master Ning’s side shows that you’re a good child, and obedient–”

Shi Xiao cut him off and sneered.

“So you stayed with the Ning family for 1000 yuan. Sister, if you do this, I’m afraid that they will laugh at the entire Shi family too.”

Ning Chen said calmly, “No one in the Ning family laughs at Xiaoyu. We just want to get her reward. A thousand yuan is a huge sum for her.”

Shi Yong quickly sputtered, “Young Master Ning, that was just a joke. We were just kidding.”

He whipped around and growled at Qu Li.

“Go get ten thousand yuan in cash and hand it to Xiaoyu now!”

Then, he turned back to face Ning Chen and continued.

“To be honest with you, Young Master Ning, although Xiaoyu is not my biological daughter, I have treated her like my own since she was young.

“Xiaoyu had to have everything that Xiaoxiao had as well. Her father is my brother in both life and death. We walked through hails of bullets, going through the ups and downs together.

“Young Master Ning, I can use my life to guarantee that I will not deviate even the slightest bit from my affection for Xiaoyu.”

Ning Chen just smiled and did not comment.

Qu Li’s expression had already darkened. She grabbed the cash handed over by the maid and threw it onto the coffee table in front of Ning Chen and Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was startled and almost stood up from the shock.

Ning Chen followed the sound and accurately picked up the stack of cash in his hand.

He slowly counted out ten notes and handed them to Qin Yu.

“Girl, take it. You deserve it.”

Her eyes lit up as she reached out to take them. She did not even look at the rest of the money scattered on the coffee table.

Ning Chen patted her head, and said plainly, “Her happiness is very simple. She just needs to get what she deserves. CEO Shi, it wasn’t easy for you to raise her up and she remembers it all in her heart. However, she said that she is mine in life and in death. Both of you have made your choice. Business will remain as business, but Xiaoyu is mine.”

After saying that, he stood up, and Qin Yu immediately followed suit.

“Let’s go back,” he said to her.

Qin Yu nodded, turned around swiftly, and bowed to the three members of the Shi family. “Father, Mother, Sister, I’ll be going now.”

All three of them were dumbfounded as they watched her follow Ning Chen excitedly, taking care of him carefully yet clumsily as they walked out.

Qu Li felt bitter. Had they used Qin Yu or had she used them?

Both the mother and daughter had wanted to manipulate Qin Yu in exchange for benefits, but they didn’t expect her to be happy. In fact, they never wanted her to be.

Qin Yu’s current state wasn’t what they wanted to see.

This Ning Chen was indeed blind.

Could he not see that she was stupid? How could he actually love her so much?

He even came to visit for her sake?

They weren’t even here to stay, they were here just for 1000 yuan!

1000 yuan!

What was the humiliation, Qin Yu’s intelligence or the Shi family’s image?

Shi Yong was livid as he slapped Shi Xiao across the face.

“It’s your idea again, isn’t it? The Shi family’s name is now thoroughly shamed! Do you think the Ning family is something you can play with?”

Shi Xiao was speechless. After a long while, she cried out.

“You hit me? Father, how could you hit me? I’m your biological daughter, how could you raise your hand against me?”

Qu Li, too, couldn’t take it anymore, and she pushed Shi Yong away.

“Why did you hit Xiaoxiao? What did she do wrong? Why are you acting so high and mighty in front of us?

“Don’t you have the ability to be a little tougher on the Ning family? He is the son-in-law of the Shi family! Did you see how you grovelled? You are angry with us instead after he left? What did we do wrong?”

Shi Yong was trembling with rage.

“How dare you scheme against Ning Chen? Do you want to bring the Shi family to eternal damnation? Ignorant women!”

Qu Li shielded the crying Shi Xiao behind her as she confronted him.

“How did we scheme against him? It was his family who insisted on marrying our daughter, the girl I raised with great difficulty.

“Why did they even try to arrange a marriage for a blind man? Wasn’t it just right to use a fool like Qin Yu to match with that impaired man?

“Did Ning Chen complain? It shows that his Ning family knew that they were in the wrong!

“What are you so afraid of? Shi Yong, you were a soldier after all, you even said that you’ve been shot at before. How could you let a blind man scare you like this? Look at you!”
