Seeing his cold and indifferent expression, the housekeeper sighed, said nothing, and went to do his work obediently.
During lunch, the atmosphere in the Ning family dining room was particularly solemn.
Realizing that Ning Chengen was preoccupied and not in a good mood, Ning Jingxuan and Ning Chengqing did not dare to speak and silently lowered their heads to eat.
In the huge dining room, there was only the sound of dishes and chopsticks being moved.
Ning Chengen's face was gloomy, and he thought of the other person locked up on the attic for no reason. Ning Xiaoqing already knew the secret of the Ning family...
Letting her stay with Ji Yuting was always a huge threat.
Ning Chengen wished he could kill her immediately.
With a snap sound, he put the chopsticks heavily on the table with a dark face.
The sudden crisp sound frightened both Ning Jingxuan and Ning Chengqing, and they did not dare to chew the food in their mouths.
Ning Chengqing was timid and had no ideas. Seeing that Ning Chengen had not eaten, he decisively put down his chopsticks, swallowed the last mouthful of rice, and sat silently.
Ning Jingxuan was too embarrassed to continue eating, so she put down her chopsticks and turned to look at Ning Chengen.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" She continued to ask tentatively in a cautious tone: "Is it because... Sister Xiaoqing was taken away?"
Ning Chengen raised his phoenix eyes, looked at her a few times, and got an idea.
"Since she said Lu Shengge's crystal earrings were lost, you should return them to her. If you like them, I will give you similar ones in the future."
Jing Jingxuan didn't dare to refuse, so she could only agree unhappily, "I understand."
Ning Chengen continued: "Lu Shengge used you to take away the fifth sister. She should feel sorry for you. During this time, you should make more trips to Ji's house."
"ah?"
Ning Jingxuan was stunned, "Didn't you say last night that you should keep me away from Sister Sheng..."
"Last night was last night. Now your fifth sister is over there and I don't know how safe she is. You can use this as an excuse to go over and have a look. Can't you do it?"
Ning Jingxuan: "..."
Is this asking her to be a double agent?
If the second brother knew that Ning Xiaoqing was taken away and she volunteered to help, would he beat her to death in anger?
Her heart was filled with fear and her head hung lower. She didn't want Ning Xiaoqing to come back at all.
"Second brother, Sister Sheng and Fifth Sister have a relationship like best friends. She will definitely not harm Fifth Sister. And didn't you say that Fifth Sister is very ill? Isn't it just right that Sister Sheng is being taken away for treatment? We
It saves you the trouble."
Snap——
There was a loud noise.
In a rage, Ning Chengen threw the porcelain bowl in front of him to the ground, causing broken porcelain to fly everywhere.
Ning Chengqing and Jing Jingxuan both trembled.
Jing Jingxuan was so frightened that her eyes filled with tears, she bit her lips in grievance, hunched her shoulders and apologized: "Brother, don't be angry, I was wrong."
Ning Chengen's face softened slightly, "Although you have no relationship with Ning Xiaoqing, she is your biological sister after all. She is seriously ill and has some mental problems. As a sister, you should not go see her.
look?"
"Yes, I'll finish eating soon and go take a look in the afternoon."
"Pay attention to your safety. I will arrange for two skilled bodyguards to follow you."
Jing Jingxuan was slightly startled and said without thinking, "Okay, I understand."
Ning Chengen's face quickly became calmer.
The servant brought a new pair of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Ning Chengen in an orderly manner.
Ning Chengen picked up the chopsticks and his expression returned to his usual easy-going expression, "The dishes are cold, don't be stunned and continue eating."
Only then did Ning Chengqing and Jing Jingxuan dare to move their chopsticks and concentrate on eating the rice.
After a while, Ning Chengen continued: "Is Chengqing busy at the company recently?"
Ning Chengqing raised his head inexplicably, and was about to say 'very busy', but Ning Chengen continued to say: "If you are not busy, I will let my subordinates find a vacant position in the National Bureau of Investigation and put you in
