I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 287: Come into My Heart, or, Let Me Pick You Up1

Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Come into My Heart, or, Let Me Pick You Up1
Her movements were so swift that Lu Qinghe didn’t even have time to dodge before her face was slapped!
Ning Xixi’s slap made several men in the room freeze in shock.
The most unacceptable of all was Lu Qinghe.
Her face, slapped askew, covered by a single hand; the sharp pain was nothing compared to the humiliation welling up from the very bottom of her heart!
She was hit, slapped by the girl who was her daughter in name!
"You hit me? This is an unforgivable offense!" Lu Qinghe raised her hand, intending to discipline Ning Xixi, but her wrist was seized by a strong pair of hands!
It was Ji Yebai!
"Didn’t I say it before? Whoever makes Ning Xixi suffer, I will seek revenge for her! If you dare to hit her even once, I guarantee that the one who will retaliate won’t be Ning Xixi! Instead, I’ll return the favor tenfold, a hundredfold!"
Lu Qinghe shivered all over. How could she not understand the blatant meaning behind Ji Yebai’s words?
You hit Ning Xixi once, I hit you ten times, a hundred times!
It was... just too brutal!
"Rebellious, rebellious! Are you both rebelling now?" Lu Qinghe’s facial muscles twitched with anger.
Today was supposed to be her grand wedding day, and now it was all ruined!
Ji Yebai, disgusted, flung her hand away, took off his black coat, and draped it over Ning Xixi’s shoulders.
"Let’s go."
Lu Qinghe wanted to say something more, but Ning Jingshen stopped her cold, "Enough!"
The situation was clear now. Someone deliberately did this, framing Ning Xixi, instigating problems between father and daughter!
Whether or not Lu Qinghe was aware of it, this had already made Ning Jingshen very uncomfortable!
He left with a flick of his sleeve, leaving Lu Qinghe clenching her teeth, standing still.
"The daughter of a cheap woman, as expected, a little cheap..." she cursed under her breath.
Hearing this, Gong Xiu’s peach-blossom eyes narrowed, his brow knotted into a light "川" character.
He had always admired his mother; after divorcing Gong’s father, she raised him on her own and managed the family business, a very capable strongwoman.
But in the matter of Ning Xixi and her mother, she acted like nothing more than a jealous wife!
"The dead are gone; no matter what Auntie Song did back then, you shouldn’t take it out on Xixi!" Gong Xiu stated coldly, "I’m leaving."
Watching his retreating figure, Lu Qinghe couldn’t understand. Where had she gone wrong, that even her son wasn’t on her side?
Her mobile phone suddenly rang.
She looked, it was a call from her cousin.
Answering the call.
Her cousin’s piercing laugh came, "Sister, I vented your anger today! Ning Jingshen’s daughter doesn’t listen to you, right? With what I did today, Ning Jingshen will definitely have a rift with her! You’d better transfer me some more money, it wasn’t easy for me!"
"Idiot!" Lu Qinghe hung up the phone in anger.
She didn’t think her cousin had done anything wrong; her anger was that the job was done too sloppily! Ji Yebai had so easily found out everything!
......
The night was as dark as ink, the lights as bright as day.
Ning Xixi sat in Ji Yebai’s car, her glass-like starry eyes flickering with confusion.
After such a commotion, there was no returning to the Ning Family for her. What should she do in the future?
"Erxi." Ji Yebai’s low voice came from beside her. She hummed in response, turning her face to gaze at him.
"After your exams are done, come home with me for the New Year," he said, planting a kiss on her forehead. There was a sentence he kept buried deep in his heart and didn’t tell Ning Xixi.
From this moment on.
He would shield her from all the rumors and slander; he would bear all the storm and frost.
Her life, he would take responsibility!
