Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 84: Deception

Upon hearing Ye Cheng’s words, Su Tong hurriedly said, “Then, I’ll have to support Madam Ye and Miss Ye as well!”

Ning Zhe nodded slightly in agreement.

When Ye Cheng saw the duo’s reaction, he said with a smile, “It seems like I’ve successfully completed today’s task. I won’t disturb you any longer. Mr. Ning, I’ll send someone to your company on Monday to discuss the details.”

Ning Zhe nodded. “Alright.”

Ye Cheng smiled at Su Tong and said, “I’ll tell my mother and sister to invite you over to our house one day.”

Su Tong was flattered. “That’d be troublesome for them….”

“Of course not. It’s nothing,” Ye Cheng said politely before he took his leave.

Su Tong looked at Ye Cheng’s retreating back and said with a sigh, “This young man is quite outstanding. It’d be great if our son is like him in the future.”

Ning Zhe bluntly said, “He’s cunning and has no sincerity…”

Su Tong did not dare to contradict Ning Zhen despite the indignation that welled up in her heart. In Ning Zhe’s eyes, no one was perfect and everyone was flawed. He would never think much of at his side and looked down on those who took the initiative to approach him. In short, he was a miserable wretch.

After a beat, she changed the topic and asked, “Husband, is it okay for me to meet Mrs. Ye and Miss Ye? If it’s going to cause trouble for your business, I’ll directly refuse them.”

Ning Zhe was silent for a moment before he replied, “There’s no need for that. Just interact with them normally. After all, in two years, Ning Dong would be an adult…”

Su Tong knew Ning Zhe meant that she should spend more time with those families with daughters. She was aware that he was incredibly farsighted when it came to scheming against people.

Since Su Tong entered the Ning family through her identity as Ning Dong’s mother, she would use the Ning family’s status to marry her son to a young miss from a wealthy family.

At the same time, Ning Zhe could not help but frown when he saw Su Tong did not take the initiative to mention her visit to the Mu family house. He asked, “How was your visit to the Mu family house?”

Su Tong pretended to look as though she had just recalled the matter before she said in a casual tone, “Oh, that’s right. The Young Madam of the Mu family isn’t Ning Xia. She’s still a student. Old Madam Mu seems to like her very much and is filled with praise for her. Unfortunately, she wasn’t home so I didn’t get to meet her.”

Ning Zhe furrows his brows, perplexed. “What’s going on then?”

Su Tong said tentatively, “Could Ah Chun be mistaken?”

Ning Zhe said coldly, “How could he not recognize the Eldest Young Miss of the Ning family? Do you think he’s old and muddle-headed to that extent?”

Su Tong hastily said, “What I mean is that Ning Xia and President Mu might not have such a relationship. They might be ordinary friends. In that situation, perhaps, President Mu was only trying to help a damsel in distress. After all, Ning Xia doesn’t want to come back.”

Ning Zhe’s expression was frighteningly dark at this moment.

Su Tong inquired, “Husband, did you ask Ah Chun to investigate where Ning Xia is living now and what she’s doing? She’s 26 years old and should’ve graduated from university a long time ago. I wonder what she’s doing now. I know she’s not an actress anymore since I didn’t hear anything about her.”

Ning Zhe slowly shook his head. “I promised her mother that I would never take the initiative to find out things about them.”

Su Tong sneered inwardly. “Isn’t what you’re doing now taking the initiative to find out things about them?’

Outwardly, Su Tong’s expression remained the same. She said, “It’s been ten years; I’m sure she’s no longer angry about Sister Zhuang Yi’s matter. She’s all grown up now. If she’s really able to marry President Mu, you should be happy for her…”

Ning Zhe scoffed. “I’m afraid she won’t remember that I’m her father after she gets married!”

Su Tong smiled and tried to comfort him, “How’s that possible? No matter what, you’re Ning Xia’s father. Even if she really hid her marriage from you, it must be because of her mother. Don’t be angry at the child.”

Ning Zhe’s expression softened upon hearing Su Tong’s words.

Su Tong continued to say, “Speaking of which, it was your fault back then. Your attitude toward her was really bad. You can’t blame her if she holds a grudge against you. After all, it wasn’t like she was behaving unreasonably. She was just standing firmly on her mother’s side.”

Ning Zhe’s expression turned unsightly.

Upon seeing this, Su Tong was inwardly delighted. Outwardly, she said with a sigh, “If Ning Xia is still with us, I’m sure there would be many outstanding young men knocking on our door to ask for her hand in marriage. We can help her select a suitable candidate and ensure she has a happy life. Moreover, your business can benefit from her marriage as well. How great would that be?”

Ning Zhe did not say anything.

Su Tong felt that she had accurately exposed the thought in Ning Zhe’s mind. She scoffed inwardly. ‘Men are all selfish…’

Following that, Ning Zhe waved his hand, dismissing her before he summoned Ning Chun to his study.

After closing the door to the study, Ning Chun carefully reported to Ning Zhe, “Sir, Eldest Young Miss has indeed married President Mu.”

Ning Zhe inhaled deeply. In fact, he knew everything about his daughter, but he had never let Su Tong know about it. This was his way of protecting his daughter.
