I just want to inherit the family property and don't want to fall in love

Mr. Ning is gone?
Mu Zhuyun was stunned.

After a long while, she asked blankly, "Did he make you his heir before he died?"

Ning Xi raised her head in shock at what Mu Zhuyun said, and looked at her in disbelief.

Grandpa is dead, why does she only remember about the heir?

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

"I asked, did Mr. Ning's will let you join the Ning Group, did he leave the shares to you, did you?"

Mu Zhuyun looked at Ning Xi expectantly, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

Ning Xi suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was very strange. Although she knew that her mother didn't like the people of the Ning family very much, as the old man who personally picked her back to the Ning family, he and her mother could still communicate.

Now that her grandpa is dead, not only is she not sad at all, but she only cares about the heir's affairs. Ning Xi simply wonders if Mu Zhuyun has feelings?
"You are too cold-blooded and heartless."

Ning Xi shook her head, wiped away her tears, and ran out of the ward.

Mu Zhuyun wanted to call her, but her raised hand froze in mid-air, and finally let it go down again.

Looking at the swaying tree shadows outside the window, her eyes were full of sadness.

Is it cold-blooded?
maybe!
All her feelings were buried in that house on that miserable night 19 years ago.

Since then, the only meaning of her life is revenge.

No matter what happened, she couldn't just let the Ning family go so easily.

She wants to take back what belongs to her!

After rushing out of the hospital, Ning Xi didn't know where to go.

At this time, the Ning family was mixed, and Ning Xi didn't want to go back, so she could only walk aimlessly along the street.

Under the strong sunlight, Ning Xi only felt that her whole body was freezing cold.

Her mother's indifference made her feel very sad.

It turns out that in mother's heart, life or death is not important, she is not important, and Mr. Ning is not important.

Maybe Ning Xi wasn't important either.

In order to inherit the Ning family, she can drag her terminally ill body to stay in Haicheng, can only care about Mr. Ning's will after his death, can let the only daughter hide her gender for more than ten years, and suffer all kinds of torture and indifference from others.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Gu Tingjun received a call from Mr. Gu and told him with great sorrow that Mr. Ning had passed away.

Shocked by the news, Gu Tingjun immediately went to find Ning Xi.

He knew that for so many years, only Mr. Ning was protecting Ning Xi in the entire Ning family, otherwise she would almost be kicked out of the Ning family by Zhao Shulan and Ning Xuan.

Mr. Ning was Ning Xi's only relative besides his mother.

One can imagine how painful his death would be to Ning Xi.

Feeling sorry for Ning Xi, Gu Tingjun called her, but unfortunately no one answered.

Worried that something would happen to Ning Xi, the CEO who had just announced that he was working overtime handed over the company's affairs to Gu You, and drove away.

Because Ning Xi didn't answer the phone, Gu Tingjun ran to several places, including his apartment, Ning Xi's rental house, etc., but he didn't see her.

After searching for several hours, he finally found the little thing curled up in the pavilion on the top of Xishan Mountain.

At this time, the last touch of color of the sun completely sank.

In the dark, Ning Xi sat on the cold ground leaning against the pillar in a daze.

Seeing her look of lovelessness, Gu Tingjun sighed slightly, sat down beside her, but didn't speak.

As night falls, the tired birds return to their nests, the world is silent, and a round of bright moon hangs in the sky silently.

The cool moonlight sprinkled on the top of the mountain, covering everything around with a thin layer of mist, making it look extraordinarily bleak.

Look up, look up, dotted with stars, dotted with the boundless night sky.

Not covered by the turbid air of the city, the starry sky here is extraordinarily lonely and empty.

The distance between sky and people seems to be much closer at this moment, and the whole night seems to be within reach.

"Boss, tell me, do people become stars in the sky after death?"

Ning Xi looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky and asked.

"Yes."

Gu Tingjun really couldn't bear to make her sad, if such an answer could make her feel better.

"When I was young, my mother often looked at the night sky and told me that there are her dearest people in the sky. They will bless us in the sky and live well."

Ning Xi shrugged, pretending to be relaxed and smiled: "Actually, I know she is lying to me. How can a person become a star when death is like a lamp going out?"

"But now, I really hope that the people who leave this world can turn into stars in the night sky, so that grandpa will always be with me."

Ning Xi leaned her head on Gu Tingjun's shoulder, closed her eyes, tears dripped from the corners of her eyes.

Gu Tingjun didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only temporarily lend her his shoulder to support her.

The two of them remained silent until late at night when the dew became heavy and the air began to cool.

"Let's go back."

Gu Tingjun spoke softly, but when he lowered his head, he found that Ning Xi had fallen asleep at some point.

Sighing helplessly, Gu Tingjun carefully moved her head to his lap, and took off his coat to cover her body.

Ning Xi had a dream. She dreamed that in a white space, her grandfather held her hand with a pleasant smile and told her to manage the Ning Group well and make the Ning Group flourish.

Feeling that her grandfather had such high expectations for her, Ning Xi felt ashamed from the bottom of her heart, and almost blurted out the truth, but when she turned around, she saw her mother's cold gaze again, that kind of resentful gaze made her fall into the ice cellar, and instantly out of the dream.

Waking up from the panic, Ning Xi was stunned for a long time before she was shocked to find that she was actually lying in Gu Tingjun's arms.

Getting up from him in a hurry, and looking around blankly, she finally remembered what happened before.

She was so sad that she was physically and mentally exhausted, and when she leaned on Gu Tingjun's shoulder, she had a little confidence in her heart.

He fell asleep without knowing it, but Gu Tingjun not only didn't wake her up, but sat and slept with her all night.

But how could she wake up in his arms?
Did he take the initiative to hold her, or did he slip into his arms unintentionally when he fell asleep?

Ning Xi was extremely disturbed.

Taking a peek at this exquisite sleeping face, Ning Xi's face turned red inexplicably.

It's okay, okay, he hasn't woken up yet, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Ning Xi patted her chest lightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Carefully observing his perfect facial features, Ning Xi recalled the morning after the accident in her mind.

After falling asleep, Gu Tingjun was a little less aggressive, but a little more gentle.

The same thing, but the same handsomeness that makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Perhaps having such a night with this man was God's compensation for her inability to fall in love and get married in this life.
