Not long after, the sound of a car could be heard from outside the house. From the sound, it seemed like there was more than one car.
"There seems to be quite a number of people, at least a dozen. I'll go open the door!" Qiangwei took the initiative to walk to the door, worried that it might be an uninvited guest.
After walking to the door and taking a deep breath, Qiangwei opened the door.
Against the dark night outside, when Qiangwei saw the face of the middle-aged man who was the closest to her, she could not help but be slightly stunned.
Ning Guangyao, who was dressed in a black and gray cashmere coat, walked slowly in his leather shoes with a warm smile on his face. He took the initiative to nod at Qiangwei.
"Premier … Premier Ning?" Although Qiangwei was not very interested in politics, she still knew about the country's leaders.
Qiangwei could not understand why Ning Guangyao would come here at night.
Behind Ning Guangyao, there were two men dressed in thin and simple long robes, which caught Qiangwei's attention.
These two were naturally Ning Xin and Ning De, who were in charge of protecting Ning Guangyao. Although Ning Guangyao still had to curry favor with them in private, he still had to follow Ning Guangyao's lead when he was out.
While Qiangwei was paying attention to the two of them, Ning Xin and Ning De were also looking at Qiangwei in surprise.
They were both around a hundred years old and were considered average in their families. That was why they were only in the Soul Formation Middle Stage at this age.
However, they were born and raised in the illusion realm and cultivated since young. If they were in the mortal world, they would be considered talented.
The Qiangwei in front of them was clearly only in her twenties, but her cultivation level had already reached the Soul Formation Stage. Furthermore, they vaguely felt that she was not inferior to them, which made them very curious.
Actually, even Qiangwei herself was not very clear about this.
Although the nameless technique that the women practiced was Yang Chen's own adaptation of the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture based on the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.
However, as a cultivator like Yang Cheng who had directly entered the foundation of the Dao and had transformed himself into the Heaven and Earth, the cultivation technique he created had already conformed to the supreme truth of the Heaven and Earth.
Before reaching the Soul Formation Stage, women might not be able to tell the difference between this cultivation technique and other cultivation techniques. However, the higher the cultivation realm, the more beneficial the Nameless Cultivation Technique would be, and the more powerful it would be, the more beneficial it would be compared to the other cultivation techniques of the major families in the illusion realm!
This was also why Yan Feiyu had coveted Qiangwei's cultivation technique. She had also vaguely sensed that Qiangwei's cultivation technique was extraordinary.
In short, although the Nameless Divine Art was not as good as the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture, which was destined to reach the Nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, it was still outstanding.
"Miss, may I ask if this is the home of the CEO of Yu Lei International, Lin Ruoxi?"
"Ah … Oh, yes, Premier Ning." Qiangwei was a little nervous. After responding, she moved aside.
The women in the hall also saw the person who came. Mo Qianni and the others' expressions froze.
Lin Ruoxi's pretty face was pale. She could not hide the panic in her beautiful eyes. Her delicate body was trembling, and she could not calm down.
On the other hand, Guo Xuehua was surprised and worried. Now that the relationship between the Yang Family and the Ning family was very subtle, she had to be more cautious. "Premier Ning, why are you here?"
Ning Guangyao took a deep look at Lin Ruoxi and smiled gently. "Xuehua, you're here too. We haven't seen each other for a long time. You don't have to be so polite. We've been friends for so many years. I came to visit Ruoxi tonight since I'm free in Zhonghai … "
Visit Ruoxi? Ning Guangyao actually pointed it out so bluntly?
Guo Xuehua heard this and looked at her daughter-in-law, who was biting her lips and not saying a word.
Mother Wang knew that Lin Ruoxi was Ning Guangyao's biological daughter, but most of the women did not. But after tonight, it seemed like everyone would know.
Ning Guangyao naturally asked the bodyguards to stand guard outside the house and not to disturb them. Meanwhile, Ning Xin and Ning De walked into the hall and looked around. Then, they sized up Qiangwei and Lin Ruoxi with interest.
Ning Guangyao was the dignified premier after all. Usually, people only saw him on TV. Only a hothead like Yang Cheng, who was not afraid of anything, would not take him seriously.
When the women saw Ning Guangyao enter the house, they became cautious and did not dare to speak loudly.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. Take a seat. I'm really just here to visit Ruoxi," Ning Guangyao reiterated again and stopped in front of Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi turned her head away. The scene of Ning Guangyao clenching his teeth and refusing to admit her in Beijing appeared in her mind. Her heart felt like salt had been sprinkled on a knife's edge. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails were about to cut into her palms.
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi had no intention to speak, Ning Guangyao did not seem to find it strange. He continued with a smile, "Ruoxi, I came here with sincerity. Can we talk in private?"
Lin Ruoxi took a shaky breath and felt stuffy in her chest. "I have nothing to say."
"I do." Ning Guangyao was very sincere. His attitude made the surrounding girls feel that it was inconceivable.
Why did it seem like Ning Guangyao was begging Lin Ruoxi for a chance to talk alone?
Lin Ruoxi raised her head slightly and looked at Ning Guangyao's expression that was filled with desire. In the end, her heart still softened.
"Let's go to the side hall!" Lin Ruoxi said as she turned around and walked towards the side hall.
Ning Guangyao followed closely behind with a face full of joy.
The girls didn't follow, but they all looked at Guo Xuehua in confusion.
"Mom, what's going on? Is Premier Ning related to Big Sister Ruoxi?" Anxin couldn't help but ask.
Guo Xuehua sighed and didn't hide anything. She simply explained what happened that year.
"What!?" Ruoxi is Premier Ning's biological daughter!? "Qiangwei cried out involuntarily.
"It's like a dream." Hsiao Chih-ching also muttered.
"You guys are on the same side, so I'll have to tell you guys sooner or later. But don't mention this in front of Ruoxi. She won't like it," Guo Xuehua warned.
The girls nodded in agreement. They actually pitied Lin Ruoxi's experience. Even Mo Qianni, who knew Lin Ruoxi the best, couldn't imagine that Lin Ruoxi's life had been so rough.
At the same time, in the side hall, Lin Ruoxi looked out the window at the night sky with her back facing Ning Guangyao.
"Premier Ning, if you have something to say, then say it quickly. It's very late." Lin Ruoxi's tone was cold to the point of freezing.
Ning Guangyao didn't mind. He continued to speak with deep affection and repentance, "Child, I know that in your heart, you have always had a lot of resentment towards me. I'm ashamed to say that I'm here today. Actually, after struggling bitterly for the past few days, I've decided to apologize to you and your dead mother … "
"Apologize? Hmph hmph … "When Lin Ruoxi heard this, she couldn't help but sneer," Premier Ning, don't joke around. I'm just the daughter of an ordinary businessman, a businessman with no status. How can I bear Premier Ning's apology? "
Ning Guangyao sighed regretfully, "I admit that I have been blinded by greed. For the sake of my own reputation, I have done things that are worse than pigs and dogs … I admit it all …
But! Ruoxi, you are a smart girl. You are the same as your mother, a woman with great wisdom. You can definitely understand that a man like me, with my social status and influence, what I have to consider, what I have to bear … Too much!
All these years, I've withstood the pressure from all sides. It can be said that I've been worried day and night, unable to eat or sleep in peace. I have no choice. If I were purely alone, how could I bear not to acknowledge my own flesh and blood like you?
What I have to face next is more than a thousand members of the Ning family. They are my colleagues who have supported me for so many years, my aides who follow me. If I drag them down because of my personal problems, wouldn't it disappoint them?
Considering the big picture, I think that I've done nothing wrong.
Even so, for so many years, I've been quietly watching over you and protecting you. Occasionally, I've overlooked something, but in the end, I've watched you overcome all the obstacles and get to where you are today. I'm happy from the bottom of my heart.
I'm not asking for credit. Although I didn't stand up to acknowledge you, I still did my best to protect you in the business world. I've done a lot of things in secret, just like Lin Zhiguo.
I don't expect you to be grateful to me for what I've done … But I really hope that you can think about it carefully. Stand in my point of view and see how things really are.
Then, give me a chance to make up for my mistakes. Try to forgive this once stupid and now thick-skinned father of yours … Okay? "
