In the far distance away from the Ji Mansion where Peony Villa resides, the Ning family also laid its housing foundation.
Although both families lived in the same area, the Ning family's house is not as luxurious as the Lu family house. However, its beauty is not one to look down upon.
While the lights of the houses are turned off, only the lights inside the Ning family house is kept on.
Ning Xingyu sat inside his study room as he leaned against the chair with his eyes closed.
A faint wet and suckling sounds can be heard from the lower part of his body as the top of a young maiden's head is slightly visible.
With his eyes closed, Ning Xingyu thought about the beauty in the green dress during Grandfather Ji's birthday celebration.
She is indeed the most beautiful and alluring woman he has ever laid his eyes on.
Just as he reached the ninth heavens of pleasure, he groan satisfying and whispers her name.
"Yue… Ling…"
Gripping the back of the young maiden's head, he made a final thrust to make sure she captures his entire load before pushing her away.
He didn't care if he was too ruthless with the woman. Reaching for a tissue he leisure cleans himself and fixes his clothes.
However, seeing that the woman was rather slow in dressing herself up, Ning Xingyu frowns.
"Hurry and get out."
The woman had just finished buttoning her blouse when she heard him. Her shoulders jumped and she nods her head while quickly fixing her skirt into place.
Due to his sudden words, her usual hair that was put up in a neat bun was left down.
Just as she reached the door, it was abruptly pushed opened.
"Ah—!"
She yelped in fright and shocked at the sudden intruder.
Ning Xingyu glares at the stupid woman then to the person now standing at the door.
"What do you want?"
Ning Mei looks at her older brother then to the maid, who was a young woman with fair skin and dark hair.
She has to admit, this maid was very pretty, it's no wonder her brother often calls for her. However, no matter how much she is favored, she is still a maid and one of her brother's playthings.
Just as she thought this, she hears her brother's question follow by a smell that entered her senses and she quickly covers her nose.
"Tell your woman to leave first."
Seeing the maid still standing in the room, Ning Xingyu furrow his brows with an irritated expression.
"Get out. Why are you still standing there?"
The maid jumped at his cold voice before bowing to the brother and sister duo. She then runs out of the room without closing the door.
Ning Xingyu sneer at how useless the maid was. He stood from his seat and walks over to the window. Opening it, he takes a cigarette out and lights it.
"Why are you here?"
Still covering her nose from the after smell of two people having a intimacy act, Ning Mei ushers a hmmf as she walks over to a chaise and sat down.
"Brother, how can you keep involving yourself with the servant girls here? Aren't you afraid that they will blackmail you? What if one of them by chance gets pregnant?"
Ning Xingyu stood by the open window and continued to smoke his cigarette. When he heard his sister's words, a sinister sneer curl on his lip.
"How I spend my private life isn't of your concern."
Hearing his words and the tone of his voice, Ning Mei's expression turned red. Not the kind of red that makes one embarrass but the one that makes one angry.
She and Ning Xingyu are siblings, but they were never close like other siblings. How they react towards each other in public is only for show.
Behind close doors, Ning Xingyu treats her like dirt. As if they don't share the same father and mother.
Brushing the thought away, she was reminded of the humiliation she received at Grandfather Ji's birthday. When the Ji family was humiliating her, not once did he stood up for her.
She looks at her brother and pout her lip.
"When are you going to help me marry Lu Tian?"
At her question, Ning Xingyu's eyes turned murderously cold. He scoffs a sarcastic chuckle like he heard the most stupidest thing ever.
"Help you? If you had kept your mouth shut instead of spreading lies, I wouldn't have lost my partnership with Lu Corps."
He turns away from the window to Ning Mei and snort.
"I lost a very important contract because of you. So, don't even think about me helping you."
He remembers the humiliation he received during the social gathering. If it was not for his idiotic sister, Lu Tian would have never spoken so coldly to him.
From that night onwards, everything seemed to be going down hills for him and TB Corps.
Ning Mei turned speechless at his words. She had in fact claimed herself as Lu Tian's fiancé, but she didn't expect the man to know. Even worse, she did expect Lu Tian to be so cruel and terminate the contract between Lu Corps and TB Corps that has been going on for 2 years now.
Seeing her pitiful face, Ning Xingyu did not feel any pity for her at all. He turns back to the window and continue smoking his cigarette.
"If that's all you wanted to ask then get out. Seeing you makes me sick."
Ning Mei bit her lower lip and clenched her hands into tight fists. Standing up from the chaise, she strides out of the room without saying a word.
She knows her brother's temper. If she was to push the topic any further, he would definitely snap at her.
Even if they were family, he doesn't care at all.
Like this house, she had also once lived here, but he was the one who kicked her out. He said she was an embarrassment to the family thus having her live here will only ruin their family's name.
As she storms out of the Ning family house, she gets into her car. However, she does not leave right away.
Grabbing her phone inside the glove compartment, she quickly dials number.
The call rang twice before the line connects, but before the other person could answer, she spoke first.
"I can't wait anymore. I need Han Yue Ling to disappear as soon as possible. I have new information about her that will help your task. Once you—"
Before she could finish her words, the other person cuts her off.
However, the longer she listened, the more her eyes widened in horror.
"T-That's not possible… We made a deal. I already sent the first half of the money."
