Chapter 561 I am Willing to Kneel with You
After Ning Fengzhe finished school and returned to Ning Mansion, he went to Penglai Residence first to congratulate Xier on her achievements and fame.
There aren't many people living in Penglai Residence, and the gate is often deserted. Today, there's no one guarding it, so naturally there's no one responsible for reporting.
Ning Fengzhe walked straight into the front yard, thinking of asking where his sister was, and knocked on the door.
Unexpectedly, he saw his sister kneeling in the yard. He was stunned and ran over in a hurry.
"Xi'er, why are you kneeling?"
Ning Yunxi was also surprised.
"Big brother? Why are you here?"
"Did you forget by mistake? Normally at this time, you should go to Yanxiju and ask your father for advice."
"I guess my father is waiting for me by now. Go and meet him, big brother."
After standing still and thinking for a while, Ning Fengzhe guessed most of what was going on, and a ball of anger rose in his heart.
"Don't avoid the topic. Answer my question."
Ning Yunxi made up an excuse.
"I'm practicing my salute."
Ning Fengzhe saw through it at a glance and became even more resentful.
"You practiced etiquette, but you completely forgot the rules of etiquette. Ning Yunxi, how dare you lie to your brother?"
Ning Yunxi shrank back in fear.
"I don't dare."
Ning Fengzhe frowned sternly and gave a cold warning.
"I have already found out what happened. You'd better tell me the truth and don't lie anymore."
Ning Yunxi looked up cautiously and exposed him bluntly.
"Brother, you clearly didn't ask. You are just being mysterious to get the truth out of me."
Ning Fengzhe was immediately furious.
"It turns out that you can distinguish between truth and falsehood."
"If that's the case, why are you kneeling here?"
"Even if you don't tell me, I can guess. Father and mother are trying every possible way to get your money, right?"
"How did they hide their clumsy performance from you?"
"It's just a crude plan. Why are you trapped in this situation?"
"Have you forgotten everything I taught you?"
Ning Yunxi realized her mistake and lowered her head, her eyes filled with fear and sorrow.
"Yes, I can see that they are after money."
Ning Fengzhe was so angry that he hated his wife for not fighting back.
"Then what are you doing? You're taking the initiative to join the game and use yourself as bait, but you actually have a trick up your sleeve?"
Ning Yunxi lowered her head even more.
"There is no back-up plan."
Seeing her cowardly look, Ning Fengzhe could no longer bear it and became furious.
"It's all in vain! I've put so much thought into teaching you to be a foolish and filial child!"
The rumors that her parents didn't love her and her brother didn't care about her lingered in Ning Yunxi's mind and couldn't be shaken off.
Her tears kept flowing like the bitter wind and cold rain. She raised her eyes helplessly and looked at her brother.
"But big brother, why is it that other children have parents who love them, but I don't?"
"I think they can love me."
“Maybe I didn’t do well enough.”
"Perhaps, if I respect them first, they will cherish me."
"Isn't it?"
Ning Fengzhe felt a pang in his nose as his words touched his heart, and his anger melted away.
"Silly sister."
As he turned around, his sleeves fluttered in the wind. He faced the main hall and knelt side by side with his sister.
Ning Yunxi was shocked and puzzled.
"Why are you kneeling, big brother?"
Ning Fengzhe was solemn and displeased, and gave a simple answer.
"Accompany you."
These two words carry a deep sense of gratitude and righteousness. Ning Yunxi was deeply moved and her tears turned into rain.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
Ning Fengzhe couldn't bear it, so he lowered his temper and responded with tenderness.
"Be good, Xi'er, don't cry. You have your brother with you, so why are you still crying?"
Ning Yunxi nodded obediently.
"Well, don't cry, little sister."
Her almond eyes were filled with tears, but a smile was forced at the corner of her mouth.
"Brother, please tell me, I want them to love me, is this greedy?"
Without waiting for his answer, she asked and answered her own question.
"From my brother's point of view, it may be greed. But why is it greedy for a child to want the love of his father and mother?"
"Everyone says that it is natural for parents to love and care for their children and for their children to be filial to them."
"What should be taken for granted is greed?"
Ning Fengzhe looked at her lovingly, and he was relieved.
"Xi'er is not greedy. I also think that they should have treated you as the apple of their eye."
Ning Yunxi endured the pain and kept smiling.
"I don't need the apple of my eye. I just need a little warmth."
"I have spared no effort to give, so with a little warmth, it should be possible, right?"
Feeling the loneliness behind her smile, Ning Fengzhe couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Isn't it enough for my parents' love if I treat you twice as well as I do for them?"
Ning Yunxi shook her head.
"Brotherly love and sisterly respect cannot be compared with the love and care of parents."
Ning Fengzhe couldn't understand at all, and spoke in a watery tone mixed with a bit of impatience.
"What's so good about parental love? Why do you insist on it?"
Ning Yunxi lowered her eyes humbly.
"My elder brother is loved by his family, so he naturally has no worries, but it's different for me."
Thinking back to what had just happened, her smile gradually turned into sadness.
"My mother always complained about me because I could only spend money instead of earning it. I thought that if I was rewarded and became famous, she would look at me differently, but the result was..."
"Big brother, what should I do to please them?"
When talking about them, Ning Fengzhe would become jealous.
"I taught you long ago, but you refused to do it."
"If you ignore them, or even plot to harm them, they will naturally care about you and take the initiative to curry favor with you."
Ning Yunxi pouted and complained.
"My brother always wants to lead me down the wrong path, and he has bad intentions."
Ning Fengzhe was so angry that he started laughing.
"Oh, I am willing to kneel with you as punishment. I am the one with bad intentions."
"Ning Yunxi, where is your conscience?"
Ning Yunxi hurriedly explained.
"If I really made mistakes, to be honest, it was you who led me. I am afraid that my reputation as a filial brother will be damaged."
"Brother, please teach me seriously, what should I do?"
Ning Fengzhe looked at him with dissatisfaction, his pupils blazing with fire.
"I do not know."
"I have always only done superficial work, unlike you who use your true heart."
"Each family is different. The people in the Ning Mansion are not worthy of using their true feelings, let alone entrusting their true feelings."
Ning Yunxi's face was full of disapproval.
"Big brother has said this many times, and my ears are callused from hearing it so many times."
Ning Fengzhe couldn't do anything with her and was left feeling helpless.
"I tell you once, and you forget it. It's like teaching you in vain."
Ning Yunxi glanced at him.
"Big brother, I naturally don't want to listen to your nonsense."
Just then she saw a dead leaf fell on her brother's shoulder, so she picked it off for him carefully and gently.
"I believe that if we make every effort, we will get a good result."
"Do you believe it, big brother?"
With a little care from her, Ning Fengzhe immediately felt happy and smiled sweetly.
"letter."
"But, I still don't know what the result will be."
Ning Yunxi couldn't help but be curious.
"Are there any big brothers who spare no effort to give?"
"Who is it?"
Two cold arrows suddenly pierced Ning Fengzhe's heart. At this moment, the pain in his knees seemed numb.
He was so upset by the question that all the words were stuck in his throat. After a while, he threw out two words.
"No."
He thought about it for a long time. Ning Yunxi just thought that there were too many lovers to list them all. Unexpectedly, he heard such an answer.
"Ning clan, Mu clan, so many family members, big brother doesn't love any of them?"
Ning Fengzhe was angry and decisive.
"do not love."
Looking at his angry expression, Ning Yunxi didn't understand why.
"Brother, why are you angry again?"
