Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Chapter 180

The old lady saw that Jiang Ning was in a bad mood. Although Jiang Ning tried his best to hide it, the loneliness in his eyes was still easy to detect.

At the moment, everyone had a bad impression of Jiang's mother and Jiang Xue. The originally hospitable old lady wanted to invite the guests to dinner, but now she refused to mention it.

Let Jiang Ning do everything he can to make them leave quickly.

"I'm so sorry. As I get older, I get tired easily. Ningning, please entertain your mother and sister. I'll go back first." The old lady said apologetically.

Jiang's mother's face didn't look very good, but after all, she was the weaker party, so she had to put on a smile and let the old lady go back.

"Mom, please go back!"

Seeing that the old lady had left, Jiang's mother no longer wanted to play the role of a loving mother and glared at Jiang Ning fiercely.

"Useless thing! How could you be so indifferent to your brother's affairs? You are such an ungrateful person."

Jiang Ning stood there stupidly, not refutating, with almost no expression on his face.

Jiang's mother was so used to complaining and verbally attacking Jiang Ning that she even forgot that this was the Doral residence.

Jiang Xue was quite considerate and pulled Jiang's mother's sleeve to stop the scolding.

"Mom!" Jiang Xue called out to her mother anxiously. Only then did her mother realize that the purpose of her trip had not yet been achieved.

"Jiang Ning, if you still have some conscience, you should help your sister. No one wants you anyway, so you might as well give this engagement to your sister."

Jiang's mother talked to herself and even arranged the next steps for Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

"Impossible! Mom, just give up on this idea! To tell you the truth, Jiang Yuan brought this upon himself, there's no chance of a turnaround." Jiang Ning felt relieved after saying this. It turned out that happiness can only be achieved by building on the suffering of others.

Seeing Jiang's mother's face turn pale and blue, Jiang Ning did not feel the slightest bit of guilt.

In her eyes, Jiang's mother was not even as good as a stranger.

Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Ning with disgust, as if this was not her daughter but her enemy.

In fact, in her heart, Jiang Ning is her nemesis.

While she was pregnant with Jiang Ning, Jiang's father used this as an excuse to take a concubine. Because of Jiang Ning, she survived many life-threatening situations, but in the end, the Jiang Ning she gave birth to was not a boy.

Jiang's mother believed that Jiang Ning was incompatible with her and was born to be her unlucky.

If it weren't for the old lady of the Jiang family who passed away a few years ago and protected Jiang Ning in everything, I'm afraid she would have killed Jiang Ning with her own hands long ago.

"I don't care what method you use, the engagement between the Doral family and our Jiang family cannot be lost. If you can't do it, then Xue'er will do it!"

Seeing Jiang Ning's cold eyes, Jiang's mother, who had always been tough, suddenly lost her breath and left with Jiang Xue in a panic.

Jiang Ning stood at the door for a long time, his eyes were blurry, and no one knew what he was thinking, or maybe he was thinking nothing.

She walked slowly to the well. In fact, sometimes she liked to sit by the well, watching the birds in the distance and listening to the sound of flowing water, as if she was the only one in the world.

But in Niu Hulu Yuheng's eyes, she was a woman who was about to commit suicide.

Really, he had never been so scared before, not even when he was almost caught.

Although he was a weak scholar who was not even capable of tying a chicken, Niu Hulu Yuheng had great potential.

He used all his strength to run to Jiang Ning, hugged her and walked away from the well.

Jiang Ning was stunned! No, this guy is sick!

She was sitting peacefully, but was suddenly brought to the ground. Niu Hulu Yuheng subconsciously held her tightly and refused to let go.

"What are you doing!"

"What am I doing? I was just about to ask you what you are doing! Even if something terrible happens, you can't commit suicide!" Niu Hulu Yuheng was furious and yelled frantically.

Jiang Ning was stunned. Suicide? Who?

Jiang Ning pointed at himself in disbelief: "Are you saying I'm committing suicide?"

Niu Hulu Yuheng nodded affirmatively: "Isn't it? You were about to jump down just now."

Niu Hulu Yuheng was still in shock when he thought of the terrifying scene just now.

Jiang Ning realized that his current posture was not very elegant and patted Niu Hulu Yuheng's arm.

The two of them were like springs, and suddenly bounced far away in the opposite direction.

Jiang Ning touched her hair awkwardly. Even though it was a mistake, she still appreciated Niu Hulu Yuheng's kindness.

"Well, I don't want to commit suicide, you misunderstood."

"Ah...is that so?" Niu Hulu Yuheng rubbed his robe helplessly. He didn't have time to think about it at that time.

Niu Hulu Yuheng: It was a close call, I almost lost my wife...

"Yes, but thank you very much. Thank you for caring about me."

"It's okay, you'd better not sit in such a dangerous place." Niu Hulu Yuheng was a little embarrassed because of the misunderstanding, but he still gave a worried reminder.

Jiang Ning turned his face away and nodded.

It's quite ironic that your blood relatives wish you dead, but someone you have only met once is nervous about you.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine. No matter what, thank you for your concern." Jiang Ning looked at Niu Hulu Yuheng seriously. The sincerity in his eyes made Niu Hulu Yuheng feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hehe, I'm glad you're okay." Niu Hulu Yuheng said with a red face.

Jiang Ning did not notice Niu Hulu Yuheng's expression, she was immersed in her own thoughts.

Niu Hulu Yuheng didn't say anything either, he just sat with her quietly.

"Do you think I'm bad?"

"Ok?"

"Sometimes I also feel like I am a bad person, like a puppet, helping my family to do evil."

Niu Hulu Yuheng didn't say anything, but looked at Jiang Ning with burning eyes.

"But it's really hard for me to resist. It seems like since I was a kid, people have been telling me that I have to be obedient. Only if I'm obedient will people like me and care about me."

"Being obedient seems to have become a habit of mine." Jiang Ning's voice gradually choked with tears.

At this time, perhaps she wanted to talk to anyone, just because her heart was so full of sadness.

Niu Hulu Yuheng still didn't say anything, and just sat there competently in front of the audience.

"But now, I don't want to be obedient." Jiang Ning wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his tone was not as gloomy as before, but had a little more vitality.

The wind gently brushed across their cheeks.

"We ourselves are the most important, aren't we?"

"Aren't we supposed to control our own lives? Family members are sometimes just blood relatives, not spiritual ones."

Niu Hulu Yuheng recalled the dark years of his childhood.

He was a young and promising boy, a gifted young man, and the shackles that were placed on him only gradually fell off when he was in decline.

The sudden death of his father and the ugly faces of his so-called relatives made the young Niu Hulu Yuheng extremely painful and unable to sleep at night.

But he is already the breadwinner of the family, and he has to bear all the pressure and difficulties.
