The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1300 - 660: Mo Han and Wanwan Arc – It Was Ning Yan’er’s Father

The sudden accidental death of her parents truly makes her quite pitiable. Previously, the only ones who were good to her were her parents, and now there really is no one left for her in this world.

But even so, she doesn’t want others to pity her because of this, especially him. She doesn’t want Xi Mohan to pity her.

If that were the case, not only would she feel pitiful, but also pathetic.

The man heard her words and lightly pressed his thin lips together without speaking, just stared silently at her. Ning Wan looked up at the man standing in front of her, seeing the usual cold expression on his face—with no extra emotion, she felt a twinge of self-mockery.

What was she expecting just now? Was she hoping this man would gently coax her with his words?

As the two remained silent, the atmosphere was broken when the auntie, originally instructed by Xi Mohan to fetch the slippers, returned.

The auntie had seen Ning Wan before, particularly when she sneaked into Xi Mohan’s villa and climbed into his bed, causing the servants to nearly lose their pay. That ensured everyone knew Ning Wan.

The auntie placed a pair of unused slippers next to Ning Wan’s feet, looked at Xi Mohan, and asked, "Sir, you haven’t had dinner yet, right? Shall I prepare dinner now?"

Xi Mohan withdrew his gaze from Ning Wan and looked at the auntie standing beside, giving a faint "Hmm." Then he instructed, "Prepare some light dishes for dinner. I’ll go to the study to handle work. Arrange for someone to take care of Miss Ning. She’ll be staying here tonight."

Ning Wan’s face showed an expression of surprise as she looked at Xi Mohan, feeling both angry and annoyed, she spoke, "Xi Mohan, didn’t you hear what I just said?"

Yet the man didn’t even glance at her, directly heading towards the stairs to the second floor.

Because he left the company early to visit the hospital, he still had much work unfinished.

With Ning Wan here now, he decided not to return to the company but to have his assistant deliver the documents to the villa.

Watching the man’s departing figure, Ning Wan became angry. As Xi Mohan’s figure vanished from her view, she snapped back to reality, stood up on one foot intending to chase him, but the auntie immediately blocked her path, saying, "Miss Ning, please don’t make it difficult for us. We can only follow the master’s instructions. He wants you to stay for your own good."

The auntie didn’t show any disgust towards Ning Wan, despite the trouble she caused them before. Now, having heard about Ning Wan’s parents’ passing, she felt sympathy for her.

Ning Wan wanted to say something, but in the end, she gave up and said nothing, simply sat back down on the sofa.

She had no way of leaving; this was a villa area with no taxis available unless she made a phone call.

But her phone was left in the hospital room, and she didn’t have a penny on her, making it impossible to leave.

The auntie saw Ning Wan sit down again and smiled warmly, asked, "Miss Ning, you must be hungry, right? Dinner isn’t ready yet. Can I bring some snacks for you?"

Despite feeling very frustrated, Ning Wan couldn’t help but appreciate the auntie’s kind attitude and reluctantly smiled, saying, "No need. Go ahead with your tasks; I’ll wait for your Master to come down."

There’s no way she’d spend the night here. Leaving the villa scares her, and more importantly, her grandfather doesn’t know she left the hospital. If he doesn’t see her, he might worry.

Moreover, her parents had just died because of the accident today; she’s even less inclined to waste time here.

She wanted to go upstairs to find Xi Mohan, but she knew him well enough to know he didn’t like anyone coming upstairs.

The auntie said nothing more and complied, then went back to the kitchen to start preparing dinner. However, she did instruct a servant to bring some snacks and a cup of milk.

...

Ning Yan’er grudgingly left the hospital after receiving a call from her father.

When she returned to the Ning Family’s old residence, the servants told her her father was waiting in the study on the third floor, filling her heart with inexplicable doubt.

The Ning Family’s old residence felt even more deserted than usual today, given the major incident, with the Ning elder still in the hospital, having not returned.

Though puzzled, Ning Yan’er walked straight to the third floor, quickly reaching the entrance to the study. She was about to knock on the door when she heard voices coming from inside, and after listening closely, she recognized them as her father’s and another man’s. The conversation she overheard shocked her, her eyes wide open in disbelief and fear.

Ning Zezhen’s emotionless voice was the first she heard, "How is the handling of the situation?"

Soon, another man’s voice followed into Ning Yan’er’s ears, "It’s been cleaned up. The police investigation deemed it an accidental traffic incident and won’t trace it back to us for killing Ning Zeyu and his wife. The company’s shareholders have already started taking action, so after handling Ning Zeyu’s funeral, the company will fall into your hands."

Ning Yan’er’s father, Ning Zezhen, is the elder son of Ning elder, while Ning Wan’s father, Ning Zeyu, is the younger son.

Regarding why Ning Group was managed by Ning Wan’s parents, initially, Ning Group was under Ning Zezhen’s management. However, he had no management talent, resulting in tens of billions in losses within half a year, even causing shareholder unrest that reached Ning elder.

Initially, Ning elder intended to handle matters personally, but then he discovered his younger son possessed outstanding management talent. At that time, he wanted to test both sons, and after a few days of consideration, he handed over the company to Ning Zeyu, initially just looking to see, but ended up realizing his younger son truly had a knack for business, and his younger son’s wife also showed strong managerial skills.
