Get out of the Ning's house?! The couple did not expect that history would repeat itself.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry about school stuff, I've already made all the choices!"
At that time, the couple still regarded their son as a child, thinking he was just a puppet in their hands that they could manipulate at will. But after using both soft and hard tactics, it finally dawned on the usually high-and-mighty Mr. Zhuang and Governor Ning that they couldn't outmaneuver an eighteen-year-old whippersnapper.
This time, compared to their son, they thought that this well-behaved little girl would obediently listen and return to Zhao Jing. Unfortunately, the well-behaved daughter sitting in front of them firmly shattered their wishful thinking with her resolute words.
"Yuner, do you have other plans? What's your intention?"
Zhuang Yufei was no less shocked than Ning Peiyu, but she was afraid that things would develop into a parent-child quarrel again. She hastily made eye contact with Ning Peiyan, who was about to come over, and turned to face her daughter with as gentle an expression as possible.
She has been racing in the business world for many years, deeply understanding the skills of persuasion. However, she is used to commanding her children with an elder's identity. But after seeing her stubborn daughter a few days ago, she also understood that she couldn't be tough on her daughter, so she prepared to figure out her daughter's thoughts before slowly persuading her.
"Dad, Mom, I've thought about this for a long time, but I've decided that I don't want to go to the Provincial Procuratorate or Zhaojing. I want to be a singer!"
Ning Zhiyun no longer hid, before being slapped by her father, she had a glimmer of luck, thinking that if she acted cute and clever, her parents would agree, but after the slap from her father, the pain made her sober up and understand what it means to be very foolish and naive.
The couple had never thought that their daughter, who had always been raised with the best of everything, would make such a choice. This was even more shocking than when they heard Ning Xi say she wanted to attend military school years ago.
Ning Pei Yi didn't smash anything this time, nor did he yell and try to slap his daughter. He remained seated steadily on the sofa. However, his handsome face was clearly enraged by his daughter's words, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he glared at Ning Zhi Yun with a rough voice, suddenly bursting into a loud roar.
"What? You want to be a singer? What kind of nonsense is that? That kind of lowly job where you have to fawn all over the place just to release two albums, and you call that work?"
The words in between are an extreme contempt for the profession of a singer. In fact, it's no wonder he has such a big prejudice, he has been an official for many years and is used to seeing people around him, with a mistress on his left and a second wife on his right, all of whom are in their 40s or 50s, but the ones around him keep changing, just some young stars and singers in their teens or early 20s. How could he possibly let his precious daughter do that kind of dirty deal?
But Ning Zhiyun didn't understand all that, for Zhao Jing or being a lawyer, she really had no interest at all. For her, being a singer was just like being a lawyer, purely a profession. Singing and performing were her greatest hobbies, she only thought about taking advantage of her youth, following her own interests to become a singer, when she got older, maybe she would transform into a producer or something.
So now hearing her father belittle her ideal career so much, she couldn't hide the anger on her pretty face anymore.
Zhuang Yufei had made up her mind to be the peacemaker between her husband and daughter. Seeing that her daughter was about to blow up again, she quickly moved over to sit beside Ning Zhiyan, putting an arm around her shoulders, trying hard to hold back her temper as she coaxed her daughter.
"Yuner, what's this? Alas, your brother said he wants to go to military school. Although we don't agree, being a soldier is a tough job but still a very prestigious position. But this singer..."
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with being a singer? I don't steal or rob, so why am I considered low-class?"
Don't look at Ning Zhiyun, who is always smiling, but she's actually a very stubborn person. She thinks that her parents only want to save face and speak unreasonably, so she can't communicate with them.
Zhuang Pei Yi saw that his daughter was still being stubborn, and the feeling of hating iron for not becoming steel also surged up. He couldn't help but stand up abruptly, feeling like he was about to be choked with anger. After taking a deep breath, as if he had made a huge decision, he pointed at Ning Zhi Yun and said in a very resolute tone.
"Ning Zhiyun, don't say I didn't warn you as your father. If you really want to become a singer, then get out of the Ning family! I guarantee that you won't even be able to release an EP!"
He said this and Ning Pei Yi strode out of the living room, his footsteps loud and clear. Ning Zhi Yun's face had been set in a stubborn expression, but upon hearing her father's words, her face suddenly turned pale.
She had thought her parents would oppose it, but she hadn't expected her father to be so strongly against it!
Get out of the Ning family? Is it referring to severing the father-daughter relationship? Can't even release an EP? With his power, he can definitely do it!
Zhuang Yufei looked at her daughter's small face, which was whiter than white paper. She raised her head to look at the tall and majestic figure with shoulders shaking in anger. She withdrew her gaze, looked at her daughter again, and patted her shoulder.
"Yuner, don't blame your dad for losing his temper so badly. It's just that this choice of yours is really beyond our expectations. Think about it, what kind of families are the Nings and the Zhuangs? The entertainment industry is a big dye vat, ordinary parents wouldn't even dare to throw their precious daughters in there to be tossed around, let alone families like ours?"
What Zhuang Yufei said is obvious, with the power and wealth of the Ning and Zhuang families, can't Miss Ning have a good life? But she doesn't take the broad and bright road to success, instead wanting to be a small singer who has no power, status or position, isn't this just asking for trouble and humiliation?
"Mom, are you done yet? Even if it's a big dye vat, not everyone will be dyed and troubled. I just do the music I love to do, isn't that enough?"
Ning Zhiyun had never been one to back down, but her father's words were too harsh. If he didn't give her a way out, she really didn't dare think about the consequences. She was young and everything seemed insignificant, but she couldn't drag down the investors! Thinking this way, Ning Zhiyun's tone also softened, and by the end, there was even a hint of coquettishness in her voice.
"Yuner, think it over carefully again. Your father is a man who always means what he says, and once he's said something, there's no going back." Seeing her daughter's attitude soften noticeably, Zhuang Yufei knew that her husband's harsh words had taken effect, so she took the opportunity to push further.
Ning Zhiyun felt disappointed and frustrated as his expectation of his mother being a guest was shattered. He couldn't express the feelings in his heart, so he just remained silent for a while, no longer begging for anything. He lowered his eyelids to cover up the thoughts in his eyes. After a long time, he stood up with an expressionless face and said to Zhuang Yufei...
"Mom, I'm tired, going to sleep first. Goodnight!"
