At the same time, Mu Ningxi and Ning Zhegang were sitting in a coffee shop downstairs of the Huo family, talking about their experiences over the years.

"Uncle, it's really not easy for you." When Mu Ningxi heard that Ning Zhegang almost lost his life while saving his sworn brother, she couldn't help but shed tears.

It was only because of that incident that Ning Zhegang had to replace several organs. Fortunately, Ning Zhegang was lucky and survived after the organ replacement.

It was also because of this incident that Ning Zhegang, with the help of his sworn brother, was able to acquire the wealth he has today.

"Why are you crying? Your uncle is here fine. Ning Xi, stop crying. After all, you are a senior executive of the Huo Group. It would be embarrassing if others saw you crying." Ning Zhegang hurriedly comforted his niece when he saw her crying because of her past experiences.

Hearing him say this, Mu Ningxi smiled at Ning Zhegang embarrassedly, then wiped away her tears.

"Ning Xi, have you been doing well these years?" Ning Zhegang asked with concern after telling his own story.

Mu Ningxi looked at Ning Zhegang, nodded slightly, and said frankly: "Although I have experienced some unpleasant things, overall, I have lived a good life."

Mu Ningxi didn't want to tell Ning Zhegang about Huo Beichen for the time being. After all, she had not yet been officially recognized by the Huo family. If she rashly told Ning Zhegang about her relationship with Huo Beichen, it might lead to inevitable trouble.

The Huo family is not an ordinary family. Any slight disturbance will affect many people. Without certainty, Mu Ningxi does not want to take the risk.

Moreover, according to Mu Ningxi's understanding, Ning Zhegang seemed to be a little close to the Mu family after returning this time. For this reason, Mu Ningxi did not want to make her relationship with Huo Beichen public, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives.

"Ning Xi, the unpleasant thing you mentioned, is it about your engagement?" Ning Zhe asked after hearing Mu Ningxi say that.

"Oh, uncle also knows that I was engaged before?" Mu Ningxi did not give a direct answer, but asked back.

Mu Ningxi wanted to hear what the Mu family had to say about this matter from Ning Zhegang's answer.

"I heard from your second aunt and great aunt. They said that you had a falling out with them because of this matter." Ning Zhegang relayed the Mu family's intention to Ning Zhegang.

"Uncle, did they tell me why I had a falling out with them because of this matter?" Mu Ningxi wanted to hear what these people said about Mu Xiner stealing her fiancé.

"Ning Xi, you can't force relationships. Since that man doesn't love you, you won't be happy even if you marry him. You might as well be more generous. After all, Xin'er is your biological sister, and family members don't hold grudges overnight."

Ning Zhegang looked at Mu Ningxi and began to persuade her.

Although Ning Zhegang did not reveal the reason for the falling out between Mu Ningxi and the Mu family, Mu Ningxi could already tell from his words how the Mu family had framed her in front of Ning Zhegang.

And her uncle obviously believed the Mu family's words, and now he is helping the Mu family to persuade her to be magnanimous.

"Uncle, you just came back and don't know the truth of the matter. You can't just believe the one-sided words from the Mu family and blame everything on me."

With Mu Ningxi's personality, how could she allow the Mu family to throw dirty water on her? Under Ning Zhegang's gaze, Mu Ningxi told everything that had happened to her over the years.

"You mean to say that since Mr. Mu passed away, the Mu family has not treated you well at all. Not only that, they also treat you as a tool to make money for them."

"What's even more abominable is that for the benefit of the Mu family, they forced you to marry an old man who was married twice?"

After listening to Mu Ningxi's story, Ning Zhegang asked back with a stern face.

Ning Zhegang had indeed believed the one-sided story from the Mu family and attributed all the mistakes to Mu Ningxi alone.

Now after listening to Mu Ningxi's words, Ning Zhe just realized that he had wronged Mu Ningxi before, and it was understandable that she treated the Mu family like that later.

Mu Ningxi looked at Ning Zhegang and said affirmatively: "Yes, they did do that."

From this conversation, Mu Ningxi has already seen that Ning Zhegang is a very gullible person. He easily believes what others say, and he is also a bit impulsive in doing things.

In order to avoid causing trouble, Mu Ningxi did not tell Ning Zhegang about her suspicions about her parents' death. Without definite evidence, Mu Ningxi did not want to let the matter reach the Mu family for the time being.

That would make it more difficult for her to investigate the truth of the matter.

It is already difficult enough to investigate what happened back then, and Mu Ningxi doesn't want to add any more burden.

What's more, Zhao Ming is now alone abroad investigating the incident. If the mastermind behind the incident knew that someone was still investigating the incident, it would definitely be detrimental to Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming has helped Mu Ningxi so much, and she doesn't want to bring Zhao Ming into danger because of her family affairs.

"No, I'm going to go find them. I can't let them bully you like this." Sure enough, after hearing Mu Ningxi's affirmative answer, Ning Zhegang suddenly stood up from his chair and said angrily.

"Uncle, this matter has passed. I was not harmed by them. Forget it. Besides, with their nature of calling a horse a zebra, what's the point of you looking for them?"

Mu Ningxi reached out and grabbed Ning Zhegang, and began to persuade him.

Being pulled back to sit by Mu Ningxi, Ning Zhegang said indignantly: "Don't let me catch the Mu family's handle again, otherwise, I won't let them go easily."

Mu Ningxi returned to the company just after finishing lunch with Ningzhe.

Not long after he separated from Mu Ningxi, Ning Zhegang received a call from Mu Wanzhen. As soon as the call was connected, Ning Zhegang spoke loudly into the microphone:

"It just so happens that if you don't look for me, I will look for you."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Zhegang drove towards Mu Wanzhen's house.

Liu Yunzhi, who was sitting next to Mu Wanzhen, heard Ning Zhegang's roar coming from the microphone and said worriedly, "Aunt, that damn girl Ning Xi must have said a lot of bad things about us in front of Ning Zhegang. Under such circumstances, do you still think Ning Zhegang will come forward to help us?"

"Who is Ning Zhegang? He was just an uneducated gangster back then. He got lucky and relied on the right people to achieve his current success. Do you think I can't deal with him with his simple mind?"

Mu Wanzhen looked at Liu Yunzhi and said in a sarcastic tone.

After a pause, Mu Wanzhen continued, "Under the current circumstances, Ning Xi will only agree to come if Ning Zhegang invites her. For the sake of the Mu family, I have no choice but to do this."
