Chapter 577: When Did You Get Married?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing Xia Ning sit far from Qiao Yu after she came out behind him, Shen Tianlang only thought it was because of her shyness.
He remembered that she had been a thin, small girl at that time. Soon, she had already gotten married and had a child. Moreover, it was with Yu. Shen Tianlang sighed at the alterations of worldly things.
“Yu, Ke, when did you guys get married?” Shen Tianlang said to Xia Ning.
Qiao Yu looked up at Xia Ning. Xia Ning seemed not to notice his gaze. She looked at Shen Tianlang and answered, “We did not get married.”
They did not get married?! Shen Tianlang’s face changed. He looked towards Qiao Yu, frowning, “Why?” The child had already reached a certain age. Why didn’t they get married?
Qiao Yu fixed his eyes on Xia Ning momentarily and said to Shen Tianlang, “We will arrange a wedding later.”
Shen Tianlang relaxed as he heard Qiao Yu’s promise. The two being his cousins, he knew their characters. They would not fool around.
“Then remember to invite me to your wedding.” Shen Tianlang smiled. As his cousins, they did not even tell him that they were with each other. If he had not come here and seen the child last time, they would have continued hiding it from him.
Xia Ning bent her head to drink coffee without a word.
Qiao Yu’s eyes swept over her and he said to Shen Tianlang, “Ok.”
Shen Tianlang glanced at Xia Ning and then looked at Qiao Yu again, slightly feeling that things between the two were not simple.
“What did you come here for?” Xia Ning suddenly opened her mouth.
Shen Tianlang came to himself and looked at Xia Ning, “We have all seen the press conference today. Ke, since you have also admitted that you are a Shen family member, then go back home.”
“Go back home?” Xia Ning raised her eyebrows, looked at Shen Tianlang and curled her lips, “My home is not there!”
“Ke!” Shen Tianlang’s expression changed slightly, “Previously, we have indeed wronged you and your mother. But we will compensate you amply afterward.
“Compensate me? How will you guys compensate me? Can you return my mother to me? Or will you return me the stocks my mother temporarily left in the Shen Group?!” Xia Ning put down the coffee cup as she managed a weak smile and looked at Shen Tianlang, “But you cannot return my mother to me. Those stocks originally belong to me. Don’t get it wrong. Your Shen family is begging me now, not giving me anything for free.”
These harsh words were within Shen Tianlang’s expectations. The Shen family had owed her mother too much and made her suffer many hardships.
“How come? We are family.” Shen Tianlang said in a low voice.
“No, since the day my parents died, I have no family!” Xia Ning denied directly. She looked at Shen Tianlang and sneered, “Furthermore, how can I be qualified to have relatives like the Shen family? I really fear that someday I will die in the hands of such relatives.”
Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning with his eyes darkening.
While Shen Tianlang wanted to argue, he saw Xia Ning’s indifferent face and instantly could not say anything.
There was no denying that what she said was true. If only the Shen family could care about the mother and her daughter, the mother would probably not come to her end like that and her daughter would not have to live outside either.
“I distinguish clearly between gratitude and animosity!” Xia Ning looked at Shen Tianlang as she suddenly said, “You are different from them. I can pick you out, but it doesn’t mean that I can forgive them.”
“Ke, I’m very happy to see that you treat me like before.” Shen Tianlang looked at Xia Ning with sorrow, “However, they are also my family. Why can’t you lay down animosity?”
“If animosity can be laid down so easily, then it won’t be animosity. I don’t think that it’s necessary for us to discuss this topic any longer.” Xia Ning suddenly got up as she looked at Shen Tianlang and said coldly, “Three days later, I will go in person with my lawyer and visit my grandfather that I’ve never seen.”
