Chapter 95: Sleeping on the top of the mountain together
Old Man Ning is gone?
Mu Zhuyun was stunned.
After a while, she asked calmly, "Did he make you his heir before he died?" ”
Mu Zhuyun's words made Ning Xi raise her head in shock and look at her in disbelief.
Grandpa is dead, how can she only remember the heirs?
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Let me ask, did Old Man Ning's will let you join the Ning Group, did he leave the shares to you, did he not?"
Mu Zhuyun looked at Ning Xi expectantly, with a faint excitement in his tone.
Ning Xi suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was so strange, although she knew that her mother didn't like the people of the Ning family very much, but as the old man who went to pick her up and take her back to the Ning family in person, he was able to communicate with his mother.
Now that her grandfather is dead, not only is she not a little sad, but she only cares about the heir's affairs, Ning Xi simply doubts whether Mu Zhuyun has feelings?
"You're too cold-blooded and ruthless."
Ning Xi shook her head, wiped her tears, and rushed out of the ward.
Mu Zhuyun wanted to call her, but the raised hand froze in mid-air, and finally put it down in a daze.
Looking out the window at the swaying shadows of the trees, her eyes were full of sadness.
Is it cold-blooded and ruthless?
Perhaps!
On that miserable night nineteen years ago, all her feelings were buried in that house.
Since then, the only purpose of her life has been revenge.
No matter what happened, she couldn't let go of the Ning family so easily.
She's going to take back what belongs to her!
rushed out of the hospital, Ning Xi didn't know where to go for a while.
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 a burst of coldness around her.
Her mother's indifference made her feel very sad.
It turns out that in my mother's heart, it doesn't matter if a person is alive or dead, she herself is not important, and Old Man Ning is not important.
Maybe Ning Xi doesn't matter.
In order to inherit the Ning family, she can drag her terminally ill body to lie in Haicheng, she can only care about Old Man Ning's will after his death, and she can let her only daughter hide her gender for more than ten years, and suffer from the torture and cold eyes of others.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Gu Tingjun received a call from Old Man Gu and told him sadly that Old Man Ning had passed away.
Shocked by this news, Gu Tingjun went to find Ning Xi as soon as possible.
He knew that for so many years, only Old Man Ning had protected Ning Xi in the entire Ning family, otherwise she would have almost been driven out of the Ning family by Zhao Shulan and Ning Xuan.
Old Man Ning is Ning Xi's only relative besides his mother.
It is conceivable what a painful blow his death will bring to Ning Xi.
Distressed by Ning Xi, Gu Tingjun dialed her phone, but unfortunately no one answered.
Worried that something would happen to Ning Xi, the president, who had just announced that he was working overtime, handed over the company's affairs to Gu You and drove away directly.
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 shadow.
After searching for hours, he finally found the little thing curled up in the pavilion at the top of the West Mountain.
At this time, the last color of the sun completely sinks.
In the dimness, Ning Xi leaned against the pillar and sat on the cold ground.
Seeing her loveless look, Gu Tingjun sighed slightly and sat down beside her, but did not speak.
When night fell, the tired birds returned to their nests, the world was silent, and a bright moon hung silently in the sky.
The cool moonlight sprinkled on the top of the mountain, shrouding everything around it with a faint mist, which made it look particularly bleak.
Look up, look up, dotted with stars, dotted with the boundless night sky.
Without the turbid air of the city, the starry sky here is exceptionally lonely and empty.
The distance between the sky and the people seems to be much closer at this moment, and the whole night seems to be within reach.
"Boss, do you say that people become stars in the sky when they die?"
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 younger, my mother used to look at the night sky and tell me that there was someone in the sky who was closest to her. They will bless us in heaven and live well. ”
Ning Xi shrugged her shoulders and pretended to smile relaxedly: "Actually, I know that she is lying to me." How can a person die like a lamp going out, how can he become a star? ”
"But now, I really hope that the people who have left this world can become 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, and tears dripped down the corners of her eyes.
Gu Tingjun didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only lend her shoulder for support temporarily.
The two men remained silent until the night was heavy and the air began to be cold.
"Let's go back."
Gu Tingjun opened his mouth gently, 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 thigh, and took off his coat to cover her body.
Ning Xi had a dream, she dreamed that in a white space, her grandfather took her hand with a smile and told her to run the Ning Group well and carry forward the Ning Group.
When she felt that her grandfather had such great expectations for herself, Ning Xi was ashamed in her heart, and she almost blurted out the truth, but as soon as she turned around, she saw her mother's cold gaze again, and that kind of resentful look made her fall into the ice cellar and instantly get out of the dream.
Waking up from her fright, Ning Xi was stunned for a long time before she was shocked to find that she was lying in Gu Tingjun's arms.
Hurriedly getting up from him, looking around blankly, she finally remembered what had happened before.
Being too sad led to exhaustion, and when she leaned on Gu Tingjun's shoulder, her heart had a little reliance.
fell asleep unconsciously, but Gu Tingjun not only didn't wake her up, but instead 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 inadvertently slip into his arms while he was asleep?
Ning Xi was extremely apprehensive in her heart.
Secretly looking at this exquisite sleeping face, Ning Xi's face turned indescribably red.
Fortunately, 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 early morning after the accident.
After falling asleep, Gu Tingjun was a little less aggressive, but a little more gentle.
It's the same, but it's the same handsomeness that you can't take your eyes off.
Maybe having such a night with this man is God's compensation for her inability to fall in love and get married in this life.
