Chapter 265: PICK YOUR ALTERNATIVES
Ning Yan was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what to say. And before she could open her mouth to retort, Ning Jiming declared, " You are grounded for a month! And noone is changing my decision. "
Ning Yan’s eyes widened her sausages and she exclaimed bewilderedly, " What?! You can’t ground me! "
She hurriedly turned to her grandfather and father, " Grandpa! Father ! See what Brother Jiming is doing! He is grounding me at home for a month!! Say something to him. "
But the two men did not utter a single word and just looked at her coldly. She stood up in haste and told her mother, " Mother! Say something, please!"
Jiang Lihui felt sad for her daughter. She ofcourse did not want her daughter to be grounded. So she tried to stand for her avd said to Ning Jiming in a soft gentle voice, " Jiming, isn’t it a little too harsh on your sister. A month is a long time. She is just child and is naive. "
Ning Jiming raised his brows and said, " Oh really, Aunt Lihui? You say she is a still a child and naive? Well your child is already old enough to have a boyfriend. And she is naive? I don’t think a naive person curses other people without knowing anything about them.
She has already been spoilt rotten by all the pampering and excuses she gets for her wrong doings. She does not even realise her mistakes, least own it up.
And if anyone feels that the punishment is too much for the spoilt angel. Alright then? What about kneeling in front of the ancestors pictures for two days straight? Or being closed in her room without food and water for three days? Or even better, she would not get any allowance from the family for the next six months, and all the bank accounts shall be freezed.
You are free to pick up the alternatives. "
Saying so Ning Jiming got up from his chair and left.
Ning Yan was shaking with anger, as she stomped her feet.
Su Han could not watch the drama unfold any longer. It had long crossed his patience limit. He just stood up, and bowed to the family elders to express his gratitude and said, " Thank you for having me. And please excuse me. I must leave now. "
Elder Ning did not say anything and just nodded. Su Han turned to leave and Ning Yan’s eyes widened in disbelief. It had just sinked into her that her image has been completely destroyed in his eyes. She hurriedly followed him as she called for him, " Su Han! Stop! Su Han listen to me! "
Su Han stopped and turned to look at hiler. His eyes were devoid of the usual affection that he had while looking at her. Instead, he looked pissed. He said, " Ning Yan, if I am not wrong you are grounded from today on. It will be better for you, if you use this time and punishment to reflect on what you did. "
Saying this, he turned around and left.
When he had started dating Ning Yan a few years back, she was not like this. Instead he had liked her because she was so sweet, gentle, caring, kind and supportive of him. But now, as time passed, he felt as if she was a stranger to him.
She has become so unkind to people around her, curses strangers without any reasons, and has become unbelievably stubborn.
She has started acting worse than what she told Ning Mei was like three years back.
He had been tolerating this behaviour of hers because, she loved him a lot , and belonged to a good family. But if she continued with this attitude, Su Han doubted their relationship would last long.

Ning Yan turned back to her family with hatred in her eyes. She wanted to say something, to yell, but atlast did not do anything and ran back to her room.
Jiang Lihui looked concerned for her daughter. She glanced at her husband who did not say anything to defend his daughter, instead was having his food.
As she was not in a place to say anything, Jiang Lihui just stood up from her chair and followed her daughter. She was scared that she would do something wrong at whim.
The four of them at the table, Ning Mei, Elder Ning, Ning Yiyi and Ning Yushen, now had their dinner quietly without talking to one another. It had turned irreversibly awkward. But not for Ning Mei. She was not expecting anything other than this. Why would she be awkward when this was exactly what she has planned.
It was just the starting to get back on people who had conspired against her.
But she could not show her real expression and doned a serious look.
Ning Yushen too finished eating, and took his leave. Ning Yiyi after a couple of minutes got a call. Ning Mei was lucky enough to get a glance of the caller ID, and it was her manager calling.
Ning Yiyi too excused herself and took her leave.
And now at the table were only Elder Ning and Ning Mei aka Muye left. Both were still eating. Everyone left their food half eaten, that did not mean she will also leave it and go.
He heard Elder Ning say, " Muye, take something else. You have eaten so less. " Ning Mei was hungry, but she did not want to show her gluttonous nature here. And she really had very little.
And on top of that, Elder Ning did not look in a very happy mood. Ning Mei could tell he was very disappointed with how things went today. He was only at the table eating, because he had to take his medicines after food, and also to accompany Muye.
Ning Mei smiled politely and said, " It’s fine, Elder Ning. I am already full. Thank you for asking. "
Elder Ning did not insist any more, as he knew that the atmosphere was already very awkward and strange.
