Xie Family

  The Xie family has moved back to their original villa, but all the valuable things in the villa have been mortgaged or sold for cash to fill the gap, and now they can't even afford a servant.

  Liu Huiting and Xie Wanyan were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, when Xie Wanyan was splashed with hot oil on her hand. She threw down her apron in frustration: "Mom, I don't want to live like this anymore! I want to go back to our old life!"

  Liu Huiting said: "Yan Yan don't worry, after tonight, we will have money."

  Xie Wanwan's face improved a bit, "Mom, what if Wen Ning didn't come today?"

  Just then, the doorbell rang, and Liu Huiting smiled triumphantly, "Isn't that right? Wanyan, go open the door, be careful with your words, don't reveal anything."

  Xie Wanwan opened the door, and Wen Ning was standing outside wearing a light-colored casual outfit. Her entire body had no excessive decorations, except for a round pendant necklace on her swan-like neck.

  Elegant and refined in appearance, calm and gentle in expression, confident yet warm in temperament, like a young lady who has never experienced the storms of life.

  Xie Wanwan pouted and said sarcastically, "Congratulations to you, you've managed to get close to Shen Junhao, your career is advancing rapidly. You're really something."

  Wen Ning didn't look at her and walked straight inside.

  Xie Wenni felt like she had been punched in the cotton, her heart was suffocating.

  Wen Ning entered, Xie Beiping and Liu Huating were already seated at the dinner table, Liu Huating warmly came to greet her.

  "Xiao Ning is here, hurry up and sit down. It's been a long time since we've had a family dinner together. Today I specially made your favorite dish, try it quickly."

  Wen Ning sat down opposite Xie Beiping, Liu Huiting entertained her with all her might. Wen Ning pushed the bowls and plates to one side, "My surname is Wen, I'm not a member of your family, if there's something you want to say, say it quickly."

  Xie Beiping slammed down his chopsticks, "What's your attitude? You reported me, I didn't settle the score with you, and kindly let you go home. Who do you think you are to talk back to?"

  "Old Xie, don't speak to the child like that." Liu Huiting hurriedly went to persuade Xie Beiping, and then turned her head to say to Wen Ning, "Previously, our family had too many misunderstandings. This time, after going through great difficulties, your father also knows that a family must be harmonious in order to go further."

  Liu Huiting picked up the wine glass on the table and handed it to Wen Ning, took another cup of wine herself, and pitifully said: "Little Ning, I know we've done a lot of things that wronged you before. Auntie apologizes to you, can you forgive me?"

  Wen Ning held his wine cup unmoved.

  Liu Huiting gave Xie Wanyan a look, and Xie Wanyan reluctantly picked up her wine cup. "Sister, it was my fault in the past that I didn't understand things and did many wrong things. I apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness."

  Liu Huiting and her mother held their wine cups together to apologize, but Wen Ning still didn't react.

  Liu Huiting and her mother exchanged a glance, Liu Huiting took the lead in drinking the wine in the cup, "Xiao Ning, please forgive us. We are sincerely apologizing, we also want to make up for you, whatever you want us to do can be mentioned."

  Xie Wenni also chimed in from the side.

  Wen Ning glanced at the wine cup in her hand, then looked at the two women opposite her, their eyes fixed intently on her cup. Suddenly, she understood - there was something wrong with this cup of wine.

  She raised her eyes and quietly looked at Xie Beiping.

  Xie Beiping's face turned red with anger, "Are you still expecting me to apologize and drink with you? No..."

  Before he could say "door", Liu Huiting rushed over, handed him a wine cup and gave him a crazy wink: don't forget today's big event.

  Xie Bei Ping reluctantly picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp.

  Wen Ning was even more certain that there was something wrong with this wine.

  "Xiao Ning, look, your dad has already apologized to you, so just accept our apology and drink this cup of wine." Liu Huiting pushed the wine glass forward.

  "I didn't hear his apology." Wen Ning said indifferently.

  Xie Beiping was taken aback and was about to jump up from his chair when Liu Huiting pressed him down again, shoving another cup of wine into his hand.

  Xie Beiping could only hold back and drink another cup. "It was I who wronged you in the past. Is this enough?"

  "What about my mother? Are you justified?" Wen Ning said again.

  This time without Liu Huiting's help, Xie Beiping directly poured another glass of wine and said indifferently: "I owe your mother an apology."

  Xie Bei Ping had already drunk three cups and was at his maximum limit of concession.

  "I heard your apology."

  Wen Ning raised his wine glass and put it to his lips, and the three people's line of sight suddenly shifted over.

  "But I don't accept."

  With a crisp "clink", Wen Ning put down his wine cup again.

  Xie Beiping suddenly lost his composure and jumped up, pointing at Wen Ning's nose and scolding him loudly. Liu Huiting blocked his way.

  "Xiao Ning, you don't have to forgive us, but don't be angry with your dad. This is all my fault, you and your dad are still father and daughter, blood is thicker than water..."

  "That's enough...". Wen Ning interrupted Liu Huiting's pretentious attitude, "Let's get down to business. What did you call me here for? I'm in a hurry."

  Wen Ning's expression didn't change at all, her words were firm and resolute, as if the sky could fall down and she wouldn't even frown.

  Xie Beiping also lost his patience with Zhou Xuan, "Don't think we don't know, you have a little wild seed in your belly. You and Gu Bei Ci are not going to get married anyway, so let your sister marry him instead. How to swap people is none of your business, just follow my orders and invite Gu Bei Ci out tonight."

  Wen Ning is really stupid and doesn't understand. Xie Beiping wants to trick Wen Ning into bringing out Gu Bei Ci, then use his methods to make Xie Yuanyuan and Gu Bei Ci become a couple, forcing Gu Bei Ci to marry Xie Yuanyuan.

  "Alright." Wen Ning agreed readily, "But I have a condition."

  "What conditions?"

  "Pointing at Xie Wenyuan, 'I want her to kneel down and apologize to me. She was the one who drove and killed someone five years ago, not me.'"

  Five years ago, Wen Rou fell seriously ill and had no money for treatment, so Wen Ning could only come to beg Xie Bei Ping.

  Xie Beiping refused to help even when Wen Ning was dying, and didn't give him a single penny. With no other options, Wen Ning had to kneel at the entrance of Xie's house, begging him to show some compassion.

  Because of her appearance disturbing Xie Wenyuan's birthday party, Xie Wenyuan got angry and intentionally drove the sports car given by Xie Beiping to rush towards Wen Ning.

  Wen Ning got up and dodged, Xie Yuanyuan was relentless, driving the car to chase her.

  Unexpectedly, Xie Wanyan's driving skills were poor and she had also drunk a lot of wine. The car hit a pedestrian on the road.

  After the incident, Xie Beiping used 2 million yuan in medical expenses as a condition for Wen Ning to take the blame and surrender.

  To pay for his mother's medical expenses, Wen Ning willingly took the blame and lost contact with the outside world.

  Two years ago, she was released from prison ahead of schedule. Xie Beiping not only refused to let her see her mother but also used this as leverage to force Wen Ning to get close to Shen Cihan.

  Later, Wen Ning found out that Xie Beiping had never fulfilled his promise, and the two million medical expenses were not given to Wen Rou.

  Her mother was gentle and had passed away in her second year of imprisonment due to illness.

  Her mother had endured hardships for over a decade for her, but she couldn't even see her mother one last time.
