Love Exile 25 Possessed by Ghosts (Complete)
Possessed by an evil spirit
"Dad, mom, brother! This isn't being perverted! You're the ones who are being perverted by looking at him with colored glasses!"
Zhuang Pei's face changed, his tall body "sprang" up, without thinking, he slapped his daughter's face with a loud slap.
"Slap!" A loud, forceful slap landed on Ning Zhiyuan's face, making her ears ring and leaving a burning pain on her cheek.
Ning Zhiyun, who had been slapped, was stunned at first, but then slowly raised his hand, not to touch his face, but to adjust the hair that had been messed up by his father's slap. He looked up with a straight face and met Ning Peidi's angry gaze, his lips pursed into a line, and his phoenix eyes shot out a cold and clear color, refusing to show weakness.
Zhuang Yufei, who was standing aside, looked at her daughter's tender face and saw a clear red palm print on it. At first, she was stunned, then she saw the stubbornness mixed with estrangement in her daughter's eyes, which made her heart skip a beat.
The little clever daughter, when did she also have this look? This familiar gaze, she had never seen it in her daughter's eyes, but had seen it in the eyes of 18-year-old Ning Xiyu. Not long after that, her son left them, and he was gone for eight years.
Now seeing this expression in her daughter's eyes, Zhuang Yufei felt a pang of sadness. The usually fearless and daring Zhuang Yufei suddenly felt a little afraid, fearing that her daughter would follow in her brother's footsteps. So she quickly squeezed forward, inserting herself between the confronting father and daughter, shielding Ning Zhiyan as she glared at Ning Pei.
"Lao Ning, what's wrong with you? Yun'er was just protecting her brother, did you have to resort to violence? You're a grown man, this slap of yours is no different from an iron sand palm, Yun'er's face will be ruined by your blow!"
Blaming Ning Wan, Zhuang Yufei turned around and stretched out her hand to touch the wound on her daughter's face, but Ning Zhiyun dodged her hand by turning her head away.
"Don't worry, I'm fine! This slap won't kill me!" Ning Zhiyun's cold voice made Zhuang Yufei even more uneasy inside. The hand that was extended hesitated in mid-air, and the small face turned to one side with a stubborn and defiant expression.
"You! You're still so stubborn, just watch me kill you!" Ning Pei's temper was fierce, and as an elder, his face was at stake. Hearing his daughter provoke him like this, he shifted his body, ready to charge forward.
Zhuang Yufei saw that both father and daughter were in a huff, neither willing to back down, so she hastily reached out to stop her husband, "Ai! Old Ning, don't!", while also trying to persuade their stubborn daughter who was as obstinate as a mule.
"Yuner, calm down too, we're just doing this for your brother's own good, why are you getting so stubborn and misunderstanding us?"
A pair of children have been taken care of by nannies since they were young, and Zhuang Yufei, as a mother, has never thought or tried to communicate with her children. The couple provided their children with a rich material life, as well as nannies and servants who surrounded them all day like treasures. These are not things that ordinary families can provide for their children. And the pair of children have been obedient and well-behaved since they were young, which also made the couple think that this kind of growth was not bad for the children.
So at this time, the couple also didn't completely realize that such a stubborn and rebellious daughter was caused by the lack of parental respect and love since childhood. This personality hidden by Ning Zhiyuan with great care suddenly exploded for her most important brother.
Zhuang Yufei was stunned, thinking that this unfamiliar daughter in front of her had been possessed by a ghost.
Ning Zhi allowed himself to be silent, his big eyes glanced at Zhuang Yufei and then wandered around the wall with the famous teacher's painting in the bedroom, the air seemed to be frozen, only hearing the three people's faint and urgent breathing sounds. His gaze returned, Ning Zhi was even colder than usual.
"Dad, Mom, you say that brother has brought shame to you, but from childhood to adulthood, hasn't every single thing he's done been something to make you proud? Can't you think about it, how many people can be the top scorer in the science section of the college entrance exam every year? And one of them is your son! Think again, how many people can receive the rank of Major General from the head of state at the age of 26? And among them, there's also your son! Now brother just doesn't like women, and he's brought shame to you, and he's not your son anymore? In your eyes, is brother just a tool for you to gain pride and prestige? All these years, have you ever truly cared about brother's feelings?"
Ning Zhiyun never thought that she would confront her parents with such a strong attitude. She had always been a child who knew how to hide her flaws, presenting a well-behaved and lovely appearance in front of her parents. But now, thinking about her brother's grievances, she couldn't care less about the consequences, and unscrupulously exposed her worst side to her parents.
Being accused by her daughter like this, Zhuang Yufei couldn't care less about her daughter's transformation and only felt a bit embarrassed, wanting to explain something, but Ning Zhiyun continued speaking.
"I always thought that every family's parents treated their children the same way as mine did. Then a few years ago, I stayed at my good sister's house for a few days. Her family wasn't wealthy and the decoration was ordinary, even old-fashioned, but on her old walls and in those outdated display cabinets, there were photos of her from when she was a baby to now, showing her growth process and the love her parents gave her. She also told me that there were more photos of hers in her parents' room. But what about my house? I only saw a photo of my brother and me together in his room."
Ning Pei Yi, who was already furious, listened to his daughter's accusations and his face turned as black as a pot bottom. He, who had always been giving orders, couldn't bear his daughter's harsh criticism.
"You stinky girl, it's not your turn to point fingers at me! Who do you think has been providing for you all these years?"
"Old Ning! Alright! Don't say anything more!" Zhuang Yufei suddenly turned her head and shouted at Ning Peiyi, then glanced at Ning Zhiyun who was standing on the side, hastily pushing her towards the door.
"Yuner, it's getting late, go to sleep quickly! I'll ask the nanny to help you apply an ice pack on your face later."
Zhuang Yufei hastily pushed Ning Zhiyan out of the bedroom, when a series of "thumping" footsteps came from downstairs. Along with the footsteps, Ning Xiyu rushed up the stairs in excitement.
"Yoon-ah, you're here!"
Ning Xiu Wei rushed to the two with a worried face, and when she saw her baby sister's face, she was startled, furrowed her brow, and gently stroked it with her hand.
"Yuner, what's going on with your face?" A low and husky voice was filled with inquiry, as a sharp and questioning gaze swept towards Zhuang Yufei.
"Brother, I'm fine!" Ning Zhiyun blinked her eyes to cover it up. How could she tell her brother the real reason?
Ning Xi withdrew her gaze from her mother's face, intending to ask again, but the phone in her hand suddenly rang.
"Alright, I'm on it! I'll head over right away!" Ning Xiyu was worried about his sister's situation, but the urgent call from the base on the other end of the phone prompted him to rush back to the base by special plane immediately.
"Mom, Yuan'er, something urgent has come up at the base and I have to rush back immediately. Once things are settled, I'll call you back!"
As he spoke, he pulled Rong'er into his arms and held her tight for about two seconds before releasing her. His dark eyes fell on her face, then he gently kissed her forehead.
"Take care, Yun!"
The warmth of his lips still lingered on her forehead, but he had already quickly disappeared down the stairs...
