When shesherrived at Ning Family, it was already 8 PM. Usually by this time, Mu Ya was already lying on the bed. Perhaps it was because she had a good time today, or perhaps it was because she had slept well during her lunch break. Even now, he was still in high spirits, and had the attitude of not getting tired even after playing till 10 pm.
However, the main house of Ning Family was pitch black, only the lights in the courtyard were on, but the main house's door was wide open, meaning that there was someone inside.
The servant opened the door.
Zhang Xiao got off the car with Mu Ya in her arms and asked worriedly, "Is NINGHAI home?"
The servant replied, "The Young Master is in the house. He told me to wait here for Third Young Master and Miss Zhang. Young Miss's porridge has already been cooked. In the dining hall, the temperature should be right on time."
Zhang Xiao looked at the pitch black room and asked, "Why doesn't NINGHAI turn on the lights at home?"
The servant also turned his head to look at the main house, shaking his head as he answered, "We are not sure either. When Young Master is at home, he doesn't like to turn on the lights."
Zhang Xiao was startled, did anyone like it to be dark?
Mu Chen walked to her side and went inside the room with her while explaining: "Zhi Yuan really does like black."
Zhang Xiao muttered: "It's fine if you're usually dressed in black, but don't turn on the lights at night." How dark his world was.
Mu Ya was afraid of going black. Just as she was about to enter the room, she held onto Zhang Xiao's neck tightly and said timidly: "Mom, I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, Mommy is holding it." Zhang Xiao consoled her and carried her into the house. When she turned on the light switch, the house immediately lit up.
Mu Ya only let go of her mother's neck.
Ning Zhi Yuan was still seated on the sofa, but when the light in the room instantly brightened, he did not have any reaction.
Zhang Xiao carried Mu Ya and walked straight in front of him, placing him on the ground. After Mu Ya's feet touched the ground, she turned her head to look at Ning Zhi Yuan, and at the same time, wrapped her arms around Zhang Xiao's legs. Seeing her cute niece, the gloominess on Ning Zhi Yuan's face eased a little and she forced out a smile. She reached out to hug Mu Ya and said gently, "Mu Ya, come, let uncle hug you."
Mu Ya didn't want him to hug her, so she slapped his hand away.
"Mu Ya, call me uncle."
"Zhang Xiao hadn't seen Uncle for a few days. Now that I have seen Uncle, I should give Uncle a hug."
Mu Ya turned in front of Zhang Xiao and faced him. Her bright eyes looked hesitant but she kept blinking.
Mu Chen stood at the side and coaxed, "Mu Ya, call me uncle."
After opening his mouth several times, Mu Ya finally opened his mouth and called out under Ning Zhi Yuan's attentive gaze, "Old."
His voice was not loud, and Ning Zhi Yuan was so overjoyed that he went mad with joy. He ignored Mu Ya's wishes and pulled her close, lifting her up in his arms and lowering his head to kiss Mu Ya's cheeks. Mu Ya pouted, obviously not liking him kissing her. Ning Zhi Yuan didn't mind that he was still slapping his mouth with his little hand. He said smilingly, "Mu Ya will call you uncle now. Mu Ya, call me uncle again, okay?"
Mu Ya was unwilling to speak.
Ning Zhi Yuan carried her, walked in front of Ning Tong's portrait, and said to him: "Tong Tong, Mu Ya will call me uncle now. Did you hear that?
"Mom."
When Mu Ya saw Ning Tong's portrait, she had always thought that it was Zhang Xiao, or perhaps she thought that Zhang Xiao was Ning Tong.
Ning Zhi Yuan brought out the photo of his sister and showed it to her. She held onto the edge of the photo tightly with both her hands, not daring to let go. The portrait was framed, and if she couldn't hold it properly she would fall to the ground and break the frame.
"Mom." Mu Ya looked at the photo of Ning Tong, called her mother, turned his head and looked at Zhang Xiao, and called her mother as well.
This scene caused Mu Chen's mood to turn heavy, and his longing for his dead wife instantly surged like mountains and overturn seas.
He walked over bitterly and carried her daughter over. Looking at her dead wife's portrait, he said sorrowfully, "Mu Ya, this is your mother, your mother from mother by blood."
Mu Ya could not differentiate what was mother by blood's mother clearly. In any case, she still addressed Ning Tong as mother when she saw his photo, and she also called him mother when she saw Zhang Xiao. She thought that Ning Tong's photo was of Zhang Xiao, and she also thought that Zhang Xiao was the Ning Tong in the picture.
She had a good impression of both of them. In her young heart, her mother was the kindest.
Ning Zhi Yuan slowly walked away, allowing the father and daughter pair to discuss the matter of their mother. He signaled Zhang Xiao to follow him upstairs.
"Mu Chen, Mu Ya's congee is in the dining room." When Zhang Xiao followed him upstairs, they softly reminded him not to forget to feed Mu Ya porridge.
Mu Chen's heaviness, his longing for Ning Tong, had assaulted his. The tiny bit of fear she felt for him, had been forcibly extinguished by her.
That was her cousin!
After retracting his gaze from Mu Chen, Zhang Xiao focused on following Ning Zhi Yuan up the stairs and into Ning Zhi Yuan's study room which was located on the second floor.
When Zhang Xiao went in, she was once again sitting on the sofa in the study with a solemn face. Seeing his unsightly expression, Zhang Xiao's mood sunk as well. She had asked him to investigate the matter and she was sure to come up with an answer to her request. In the end ... Very cruel.
"Brother."
Zhang Xiao called Ning Zhi Yuan gently.
Ning Zhi Yuan acknowledged and indicated for her to sit down.
After Zhang Xiao sat down, he looked over, lips pursed as she spoke in a low tone: "Zhang Xiao, I have always been direct, and do not like to beat around the bush. The matter of you asking me to help you with your investigation has come to fruition."
Zhang Xiao's face congealed, waiting for him to continue.
Ning Zhi Yuan was actually a little hesitant.
After waiting for two minutes and not getting an answer, Zhang Xiao asked: "What's the result? Just say it without any defense, I can bear with it."
Ning Zhi Yuan was mentally prepared for Ning Zhi Yuan's hesitation. It seemed that the accident really had something to do with her father.
"His hit-and-run driver's nickname is Xiao Liuzi and his real name is Liao Liu. He is the sixth cousin brother and since his parents have no culture, they helped him name himself as Liao Liu. Everyone is accustomed to calling him Xiao Liuzi. At the age of nineteen, he got a driver's license and bought him a car. His parents were working class, but they doted on him too much and bought him a car to satisfy him. This person was a hooligan. He would abandon school when he was in his first year of high school, and spend all day fooling around with a group of young social students. His parents couldn't do anything about him, and as long as he didn't cause any trouble, they would turn a blind eye to him. In the past two years, he has managed to hook up with two rich young masters. Those two young masters' families are rich and generous, spending all day drinking and living happily being embraced as a boss by a bunch of gangsters."
Ning Zhi Yuan paused here for a moment, then Zhang Xiao immediately guessed that the two young masters were his half-brother, and her expression became even more gloomy, as he coldly asked: "Are they Zhang Yu and Zhang Ming?"
