She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 576: Chapter 598: Severing Ties

The old master had already understood the ins and outs of the situation clearly, angry at Meng Ping’s arrogance and unreasonableness, and also furious that Ningning, the girl, was so foolish. How could she bring herself to be so cruel?

At the same time, he keenly perceived that the girl might have had this intention all along, otherwise, why would she carry a knife on her body for no reason?

This thought made the old master shudder. He wondered if it was Ningning’s childhood living environment that had made her so radical?

“It’s not your fault, things have already happened, and I won’t pursue Meng Ping’s responsibility. Ningning is my granddaughter, but I’ve never treated Meng Ping as an outsider.”

“Thank you, Dad!” Meng Xingzhi had anticipated the old master’s attitude on his way here. He was a profoundly wise and experienced elder leader, which was why he respected him so much.

“Where is Meng Ping now?”

“He’s still in the hospital recovering. Once he’s healed, I plan to send him to his grandfather and have my father look after him.”

“Good! It’s going to trouble our in-laws then.” His son-in-law’s arrangement pleased him. Since Ningning didn’t like Meng Ping, it was better for them not to meet. They had already reached the point of stabbing each other, so they were enemies now.

If anything else happened, it would be difficult for them to handle things being caught in the middle.

“That’s as it should be.” Meng Xingzhi nodded.

“And Su Yun? As a mother, what does she want to do? I heard that she hasn’t visited Ningning once since the incident?” This was the real reason the old master was furious.

Meng Xingzhi’s expression remained unchanged as he nodded slightly and said, “Yes.”

“Damn! Did a donkey kick her head? Is this how a mother acts?” The old master was so angry he almost passed out.

Su Hai hurriedly tried to calm him, “Dad, don’t be angry. My sister has gone mad, just don’t take her seriously.”

“I’m not dead yet! All of you are like this. Ask yourselves, if Ningning had grown up in the big compound, by my side, would you have the same attitude towards her as you do now? Have you ever thought about standing up for her? No… not one of you. You just suppressed the matter, and then that was it.” The old master’s words were heart-piercing, making Su Hai lower his head in shame.

Ningning’s incident made him very angry and heartbroken. But since Meng Ping was the one who hurt her, they glossed over it, and later, when Ningning wanted to go back to her hometown to get married, he only planned to attend the wedding but never thought about standing up for her.

Or even getting justice for her.

“If it were Hai Lan, Bai Oulan, or the missing Bao’er, would it have turned out this way? I heard it was Xu Qigang who took non-stop care of her, were any of you there?” The old master, trembling, stood up, and although Su Hai and Meng Xingzhi wanted to help him, he brushed them off. Only Qin Yue’s attempt to support him wasn’t rebuffed.

“After all, Ningning is still an outsider to you all, no wonder she refuses to recognize us. If I were her, I wouldn’t recognize you either.” The old master was extremely disappointed; his precious granddaughter had not received the treatment that matched her status.

“Qin Yue!”

“Present!” Qin Yue bowed his head.

“Tell Su Jiang for me, from today onwards, Su Yun has nothing to do with our Su Jiang. And have him inform all lifelong friends and relatives.” The old master, when previously angry, loved to call Su Yun an unfilial daughter, threatening to disown her from the family.

But today, the old master didn’t say a word. He just spoke of disowning her, a few simple words, but everyone could see his seriousness, and there was no chance of reconciliation.

Meng Xingzhi and Su Hai dared not plead for mercy.
