Chasing My CEO Husband

Chapter 400: XIAO MEI IS BACK

As a few started conversing with Yu Lian, most of the eyes were again drawn back to Ning Mei, as if wanting to know a little of her too.

Ofcourse, they knew who she was. She was the recently and rapidly rising celebrity of the entertainment industry. And one of the other worth noting fact about her that was the most talked about between the business people were, she was close to the Gu siblings as per the news and interview.

After the interview conference was aired avd reported, Ning Mei’s social image had skyrocketed. Her professional career was already doing well, with her giving so many worth noting works and collabs with huge brands and celebs, within such a short period of time.

And after a few conference and interviews her social circle and friends circle also raised her social image.

As the attention shifted on Ning Mei, they wanted to strike a conversation with her too. And before anyone could start it, they heard footsteps coming from behind along with the striking of a wooden support against the floor.

It was Elder Ning who made his way to the front. Everyone slightly moved away, to give the old man of the house space.

When he saw Ning Mei, Elder Ning stopped and stood quietly staring at her. Ning Mei looked at her grandfather too.

All her attitude, self confidence, etcetera, right now vanished as she saw this man.

She just wanted to turn into the little girl again who always clinged to him, and then cry to him about how she was wronged by people.

" Xiao Mei. " Elder Ning softly called her. Ning Mei felt as if someone squeezed her heart so hard, that it pained.

She took steps forward leaving Ning Jiming’s side and then going to Elder Ning.

" Grandpa. " She called for him, he voice coming out as a wishper.

" Grandpa, I am back. " Ning Mei said, as a smile broke in to her lips, while her eyes watered.

Elder Ning’s eyes were already full of tears as he saw his granddaughter, and he nodded his head.

As she came to stand in front of him, he raised his shaky hands and touched her face.

A tear of happiness dropped down his eyes as he smiled widely. He said, " Yes. Now that my Meimei is back. She is not leaving anymore. "

He then patted her head and said, " Have you not been eating there? You have turned so skinny, my child! "

Ning Jiming, Yu Lian, Feng Ye and Li Chen looked at the granddaughter and Grandfather union with happy hearts. But it was only them who were calm and happy. Because for all the other people in the room, it was as an aur if silence had blown over them!

Everyone in the room were baffled, perplexed, bewildered and a few of them were at the point of questioning their whole point of existence!

And among the shocked ones were - everyone.

This is the same Ning Mei of the Ning family? The girl whom they had adopted? But did they not abandon her and throe her out of the family because she was involved with drugs and had a questionable character?!!

Shen Qian, Ning Yan and Jiang Lihui at the moment looked like they were struck by thunderclap! They could not believe what they were seeing.

Sh- She is N- Ning Mei?! The same old Ning Mei?! H- how can she be!

How come she looks like this! Shouldn’t she be rotting somewhere at the countryside or better been dead!

And what is she doing here?

Meanwhile, Ning Yiyi stood frozen stiff at one corner. Her expressions of shock and bewilderment, slowly fading away and turning into extreme hate, confusion and anger.

What the hell was happening here!

At the very last, her fears, doubts and suspicions finally came true. She was indeed Ning Mei.

But where did it go wrong? Even if she is the same Ning Mei, then why is she here! Shouldn’t Grandpa be hating her! How did she go to America? Or was it just a lie that she said?

And even if she had contact with grandpa and Ning Jiming, why did she not come up to her before!?

There were so many unanswered questions in Ning Yiyi’s head and she had a bad feeling about it.

Well, the worst that she felt right now was about Ning Mei currently stealing her limelight.

It was then someone in the guest asked , " Elder Ning, is this really the adopted granddaughter you had? "

Elder Ning, who was having an good and emotional reunion with his granddaughter after three whole years, turned to look at the man who said it.

And he had a slight frown on his forehead because the way the man said it, did not quite sit pleasantly with the old man.

He nodded and said, " Yes. She is the same granddaughter our family had, Ning Mei. And Mr Chu, it would be more kind of you if you please don’t use the term ’adopted’ for my granddaughter in front of you. I find it quite disrespectful.

She has always been the younger daughter of the family and always will be. "

The man who said that, smiled tightly and nodded as if he understood what elder Ning meant. Though he had more questions to ask, he didn’t.

But it seemed like, others were having issues with keeping their curiousity to themselves.

A woman among them asked, " But Elder Ning, we don’t wish to be disrespectful, did you not disown her afterwards after that incident. The incident three years ago... was circulated all over. "

Elder Ning’s face chilled upto a few degrees on hearing it and he said, " Nonsense! Which son of a blockhead said that I disowned my own granddaughter? Bring her here, and let me twist their necks!

And also about the incident three years back, my granddaughter unfortunately got involved in an accident, and was misunderstood! That was nothing rumour.

And we had sent her too America for studies, not kicked her out! Hope your queries are quenched.

Now I have finally seen my granddaughter after three years. And we are going to celebrate it more!
