Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 555 Worries

Zhuang Ning’s voice turned icy as she said, “She’s dead.”

Ye Cheng was stunned. Then, he softly said, “I’m sorry.”

Zhuang Ning lowered her gaze to stare at her plate. After a long time, she said in a low voice, “Poor people have cheap lives, after all. There’s nothing anyone can do about it.”

Ye Cheng did not understand her words and did not dare to say anything.

Zhuang Ning placed a bun on Ye Cheng’s plate before she said, “You still haven’t told me about what happened last night. Why did you drink so much?”

Zhuang Ning raised her head and looked at him with clear eyes.

Ye Cheng was very happy. There had never been anyone who was so emotionally stable around him. It was not until she had spoken that he realized how nervous he had been. After being conditioned by the women around him for so long, he had instinctively waited for Zhuang Ning to smash her plate and lose her temper. He felt the tension in his heart disappear as he looked at how calm she was. He felt like he was seeing her in a new light.

With this, Ye Cheng let down his guard and said, “Something happened yesterday. My mother and sister were both detained by the police.”

Zhuang Ning looked shocked.

Ye Cheng sighed as he continued to say, “My sister and I have the same mother but different fathers. However, my father likely only found out about this yesterday. Everyone spoiled and pampered my sister since she was young, causing her to grow arrogant and despotic.”

“She impersonated another person and destroyed that person’s life. I really don’t understand what she was thinking. Even if I want to help her and protect her, there’s nothing I can do now.”

“I don’t want to visit her or my mother. My mother will definitely ask me to save my sister, but I… I really don’t have the ability to do so. I’m being watched by my opponents right now. If I make even the slightest move, I’ll be beyond redemption. However, not one of them understands me…”

Ye Cheng covered his face with his hands as he spoke.

Zhuang Ning looked at him quietly.

After a long while, Ye Cheng removed his hand from his face before he picked up the glass of milk and took a sip from it. Then, he said, “Zhuang Ning, I always feel at ease when I’m with you. I can only let my guard down when I’m with you.”

Zhuang Ning calmly took a sip from her glass of milk as well before she asked, “Then, what do you plan to do now about your mother and sister?”

Ye Cheng frowned. Then, he said with a sigh, “I have to save them no matter how difficult it is. I have to save them because they’re my family.”

“How do you plan to save them?” Zhuang Ning asked as she cut up the sausage on her plate into small pieces before putting a piece in her mouth.

Ye Cheng shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Ye Cheng was truly exhausted. Zhuang Ning bluntly said, “There are many kinds of families. Legends have it that some people are families because of predestined relationships from their past lives. It’s also said that some people are families to repay debts from their past lives. To me, it sounds like you have to repay the debts you owed your mother and your sister in your past lives.”

Ye Cheng nodded helplessly. Zhuang Ning said calmly and bluntly, “If I were you, I’d severed ties with them so I could survive.”

Ye Cheng was stunned.

Zhuang Ning put down her fork and knife before she said, “Why? Did my words scare

you?”

Ye Cheng instinctively shook his head.

Zhuang Ning smiled. “Ye Cheng, you achieved everything you have today by your own hard work. Your family not only doesn’t support you, but they’re dragging you down. I really don’t think you should trap yourself like this.”

Ye Cheng’s expression darkened as he said, “My ex-girlfriend said something similar in the past. She didn’t want my sister’s affairs to implicate me so she suggested sending my sister to a mental hospital. After that, my sister somehow escaped and caused such a huge incident.”
