Chapter 211: LACKING FAMILY BONDS
The Present day.
Ning Jiming woke up late. He saw the time and thought, Ning Mei would have already left for her shoot. So he left a message for her telling to call her once she was free.
After freshening up, Ning Mei headed downstairs, Ning Jiming went to the dining area and saw the servants working around, while Elder Ning and Ning Yan on the table having breakfast.
Ning Jiming joined them on the table, and greeted Elder Ning, " Good morning, grandpa. " Elder Ning nodded with a small smile, as he checked in grandson and replied, " Good morning, Jiming. How a AA are you doing today? Are you feeling well? "
Ning Jiming smiled and answered, " Yes, grandpa. I am feeling better than yesterday. I have been recuperating for some days now, so I feel much better. "
Elder Ning nodded to his words. Though, he kept quiet. But Ning Gongxue had made up his mind to start serching for the one who dared hurting his family.
Ning Yan who was also sitting at the same table . She also turned towards Ning Jiming and said, " Good morning, brother. " Ning Jiming nodded in response with a smile. And she continued, " Take care of your health, and revive your energy soon. "
Ning Jiming smiled and said, " I will. "
It was evident that Ning Yan did not care as much.
For her, it was a good thing and a relief that Ning Jiming was saved and was alive. Atleast, it prevented to create more problems in the house, than what already existed.
Ning Jiming shook hai head internally. It seemed his family really lacked family bonds. His view of his family completely changed in a single day.
Then he saw Ning Yiyi. She was dressed and was going out. But then Ning Yan called for her, " Jie jie, where are you going? "
Ning Yiyi stopped on her tracks and turned to her younger sister. She said, " I have some work. And I need to attend to it. "
Hearing her, Ning Yan pouted and complained, " But Jiejie, you said today was your off day. And that you would accompany me to shopping today."
Ning Yiyi smiled apologetically at her sister and said, " I am so sorry, Yan Yan. But something urgent coped up. I hope you forgive me. "
Elder Ning who was witnessing the conversation between the sisters interupted saying, " It’s alright Ning Yan. No need to throw any more tantrums. Let your sister go. Work is always more important. " Ning Yan nodded and said, " It is fine, Jiejie. You must get going. "
Ning Yiyi smiled again and said, " I am so sorry again. I promise to make it up to you next time, okay? But why don’t you call Su Han. Both of you can have some time together. " As soon as Ning Yan heard it, her eyes lit up. And she replied with a bright smile, " Yeah. I should do that. Thank you Jiejie. But don’t forget to make it up next time. "
" Sure. " She said. Ning Yiyi’s sweet sister facade never failed to fool anyone. It has always helped her conceal her true intentions. But it might be a more than making a fool when it came to her own real sister. She wasn’t any kind of threat to her, so Ning Yiyi kind of really cared for her.
Then turning to Ning Jiming, who looked at his sisters with a slight smile on his face. She said, " Good morning, brother. How are you recovering? "
Ning Jiming flashed a bright smile and said, " Good morning, Yiyi. It was so good returning home. And I am recovering fantastically. "
And judging by her expression, Ning Jiming could almost tell that she wanted to hear something completely opposite. And then Ning Yiyi again said, " Alright, I must get going. " saying she turned on her heels and went out.
After Ning Yiyi left, Ning Yan also got up from her chair and happily went back to her room. She and to call Su Han and then also get ready.
Ning Jiming and Elder Ning continued with their breakfast. After a while, Elder Ning asked Ning Jiming, " Jiming, how was that man who saved you? "
Ning Jiming’s slightly froze and soon he recovered his composure and said, " It was a young man. Who came like an angel and saved me, grandpa. "
" Hmm.. What is his name? " Ning Gongxue asked.
Ning Jiming felt invisible sweat tickle down his face. " I used to always call him as Little brother. " He deviated the question.
Thankfully, Elder Ning did not dwell on the question and said next, " Why don’t you invite him to the Ning Mansion. You must have his contact or hai address, as you spent quite some time at his house. It isn’t good that we don’t repay someone’s kindness. He had helped us at such grave time, by saving you. And he also treated you. Invite him home. "
And by this time, Ning Jiming could feel his intestines freezing too. He could not help but curse the situation.
Having nothing to do now. Ning Jiming slowly nodded his head. And said, " Sure, grandpa. I will contact him soon. "
He had told Ning Mei earlier that making this story was useless. He could have just told that he was saved by some old man who lived in the countryside. And Ning Jiming did not know where he was. After a few days, that old man admitted him at the hospital, and from then on, he did not have any news about him.
If he had said that, atleast this situation would have been avoided. But Ning Mei said that it wasn’t convincing enough! Now from where did she think they will bring an ’angel’ young man!
Elder Ning was done eating. He slowly got up from his chair, to go to the lawn for his regular stroll. Ning Jiming did not say anything and Obediently ate. But before Elder Ning went out, he turned to Ning Jiming and said, " I think it would be better, if Ning Mei doesn’t know about the accident. Once she is back, it would be a good time to tell her. Or she would only fret there. "
Ning Jiming’s lips twitched but he nodded in approval.
