I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 835: Schemes (Part 1)

Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Schemes (Part 1)
Ning Family.
Ning Xixi wore a black dress, with a small white flower pinned to her hair, her face bare without makeup.
In the center of the mourning hall was a black-and-white photo of him, surrounded by wreaths, reminding Ning Xixi that Ning Jingshen was truly gone.
She rubbed her eyes and lightly tugged on Song Zhiyang’s sleeve, "Brother...Dad is just sleeping, right..."
"Yes, he’s asleep, dreaming a dream that no one can disturb," Song Zhiyang consoled her like a child, "As for everything else, you don’t have to worry. I will handle it all."
With a nasal "hmm," Ning Xixi knelt down, kowtowed three times towards the photo, tears welling in her eyes, but she couldn’t hold them back, they fell, one by one, onto the floor, soon forming a clear, wet stain.
She had no mother, no father anymore; all her closest blood relatives had left her.
Song Zhiyang felt a pang of hurt watching her, gently patting her shoulder, thinking it’s good to cry; one must let out their grief.
If Ning Xixi had held back her tears, he would have worried even more.
"Miss Ning." A tentative inquiry sounded. Ning Xixi looked up, sniffed, meeting the gaze of a man dressed in a sharp suit. She nodded, "May I ask what you need from me?"
The man seemed relieved, "Hello, I was your father’s lawyer; you can call me Lawyer Tian. I’m glad to finally see you. I need to discuss the inheritance and company shares distribution issues with you..."
"What’s the current situation with the company?" Song Zhiyang asked on Ning Xixi’s behalf.
Lawyer Tian gathered his thoughts and said:
"Currently, there’s instability throughout the company, cash flow issues have arisen, and nobody is at the helm... There are many interested in acquiring our company. My advice to Miss Ning is that there’s no need to cling to Ning Corporation. You could sell it before the stock price plummets severely, ensuring a worry-free future..." Lawyer Tian spoke eloquently, "Among all potential buyers, Lu Corporation is a great option..."
Ning Xixi interrupted him, "Lu Corporation?"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, also known as Mrs. Ning, would handle Ning Corporation best..." A glimmer flashed in Lawyer Tian’s eyes, unnoticed by Ning Xixi.
She said coldly, "Even if I file for bankruptcy, the company won’t be sold! Especially not to Lu Corporation!"
At that moment, Lu Qinghe, dressed in mourning clothes with a sorrowful expression, approached.
"Xixi, from now on, it’s just the two of us, mother and daughter, depending on each other..."
As she spoke, she feigned crying again. Ning Xixi didn’t console her, just stared unblinkingly at her.
After Lu Qinghe had put on her full performance, Ning Xixi’s lips curled into a smile, "Have you finished acting? Aren’t you busy acquiring Ning Corporation? Let me tell you, as long as I’m here, I will never hand Ning Corporation over to you!"
Seeing her determined stance, Lu Qinghe feigned innocence, looking at her, "Xixi, I think you’re misunderstanding something. Since when is Ning Corporation yours? Have you forgotten the agreement you signed?"
In a flash, Ning Xixi remembered the waiver of inheritance rights that Lu Qinghe had forced her to sign back then!
She suddenly realized Lu Qinghe seemed to have set up a massive scheme!
This woman might be even more malicious than she imagined—
