C317 A Fork in the Road

Ning Jiwei finished his dinner in a few bites and went upstairs to his daughter's room as usual.

He thought Jian Rui would have fallen asleep at this time of the day, but as soon as Ning Jiwei entered the room, he saw the blanket on Jian Rui's bed arched into a hump, revealing a little bit of light inside.

Ning Jiwei narrowed his eyes and went forward to lift the blanket.

"Ah! Ah!" Jian Rui was shocked and jumped up while patting her chest.

After seeing that it was Ning Jiwei, Jian Rui took a deep breath and said, "Daddy, you scared me."

"Rui, what are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping when it's late?" Ning Jiwei frowned and hugged Jian Rui as he asked.

"Uh..." Jian Rui's twisted hands were behind her back as she lowered her head and did not speak.

Ning Jiwei raised his eyebrows and reached out to pull her hand over. Then he saw the opened WeChat and on the other side, Jian Yi.

He originally thought that his precious daughter did not sleep, but he did not expect his son to not sleep either.

Looking at the lit WeChat, Ning Jiwei felt a slight pain in his temple.

"Yi." Ning Jiwei called out in a deep voice.

... "Daddy." Jian Yi said.

"Daddy, don't be angry. Rui was the one who forced me to talk." Jian Rui hugged Ning Jiwei's arm and said in a pampered manner.

On the other side, Jian Yi said, "Daddy, I will go to sleep first. Good night, Daddy. Bye ~"

After saying that, without waiting for Ning Jiwei to reply, Jian Yi quickly hung up the phone. He was afraid that Ning Jiwei would grab him again and teach him a lesson.

Ning Jiwei sighed in amusement. He rubbed his daughter's head and asked, "Tell me, why aren't you sleeping?"

Jian Rui pouted and hugged Ning Jiwei's neck. "Because Rui is worried about Daddy."

Ning Jiwei was stunned. "Worried about me?"

Jian Rui nodded. "Daddy hid something from Rui. Rui asked Uncle Gu, but he did not say anything. He was clearly very worried, but he pretended that nothing had happened and laughed at me and Gu Ruanruan. Daddy, you even went to find grandpa when you came back. All of this means that Daddy must have encountered some trouble. And it was a huge problem, but Daddy didn't tell Rui. He wouldn't tell anyone about it to Rui."

"Rui..." Ning Jiwei did not expect his sensitive daughter to have noticed something was wrong. He thought that a little girl like her would not be able to sleep well at night. Ning Jiwei could not help feeling sorry for her.

Jian Rui sniffled and said," Rui wanted to sleep obediently but she really could not sleep. So Rui went to find her brother. Big brother told Rui to listen to Daddy's words. These few days, Daddy, you will have to work very hard. He wanted Rui to be obedient. So, Daddy, what happened to you? "

At the end of her sentence, Jian Rui's voice carried a sobbing tone.

A little child was the most sensitive, especially after Jian Rui had lived in the Mo Family for such a long time. She clearly knew how scary the danger hidden on the surface of peace was.

The more people around her kept it from her, the more she let her imagination run wild.

Ning Jiwei looked at Jian Rui guiltily. He reached out and hugged her tightly. He gently patted her back and said, "I'm sorry, baby. It's all Daddy's fault. Rui was scared."

Jian Rui pouted and looked up at Ning Jiwei, feeling wronged. She said, "So Daddy, what kind of dangerous thing are you going to do? What can Rui do for you?"

Ning Jiwei sighed and shook his head. "You don't have to do anything. You just have to listen to Uncle Gu obediently."

"Listen to Uncle Gu?" Jian Rui was stunned. She looked up at Ning Jiwei and asked, "What about Daddy? Where is Daddy going?"

Ning Jiwei paused for a moment and said, "Daddy is not going anywhere, but... Daddy is going to participate in an event tomorrow. He might get injured and fall ill, so Daddy may not be able to take care of Rui for a period of time."

Jian Rui blinked and looked at Ning Jiwei and said, "Will Daddy get sick? Like brother and uncle Dou Ge?"

Ning Jiwei thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be that serious. Daddy will try his best not to get hurt so badly."

Jian Rui pursed her lips and hugged Ning Jiwei for a long time without saying anything.

"Rui?" Ning Jiwei thought his daughter was scared to tears and quickly lifted her head to try to coax her.

Jian Rui took a deep breath and said to Ning Jiwei, "Rui will take care of Daddy. If Daddy is sick, Rui will take care of him."

Ning Jiwei was stunned for a moment. The tiredness of the day had turned into warmth at this moment.

He reached out and touched his daughter's face. He smiled and nodded. "Okay, then I will have to trouble Rui to take care of Daddy."

"Yes, don't worry, Daddy." Jian Rui patted her chest and promised.

After coaxing his daughter to sleep again, Ning Jiwei returned to his own room.

However, after returning to his room, Ning Jiwei was not in a hurry to rest. Instead, he sat in front of his desk and picked up a pen to write a letter.

After he personally sealed the handwritten letter, he handed it to Ying.

"Young Lord..." Ying looked at the letter in his hand and wanted to say something.

Ning Jiwei waved his hand and said, "I know what you want to say, but you must always prepare for the worst. If... I can't come back tomorrow, do what I told you to do. Then pass this letter to Haixi. "

Ying pursed her lips and nodded heavily, "Yes."

Ning Jiwei only told Ying about this arrangement.

Ning Jiwei's answer to everyone was that he would not let himself die. Nothing would happen to him, and he would not be seriously injured.

But if something really happened, then he had to pave a way out for the people around him, and make arrangements for Jian Haixi and the two children.

On the other side, after discussing with Ning Jiwei, Mo Wanshaan did not rest.

After he came out of the study, he stayed in the room.

Tomorrow was the most crucial day for Ning Jiwei. If Ning Jiwei could survive tomorrow, After that, no matter how big of a disturbance Mo Sheng created, Ning Jiwei would at least have enough strength to fight back. He no longer had to worry about Mo Sheng attacking the people around him.

However, Mo Sheng definitely knew what they were talking about.

Therefore, it was really hard to say what the outcome of tomorrow's battle would be...

Mo Wanshaan sighed and looked out the window at the faint yellow moonlight. He said, "Fu Xiang, if you really have a spirit, please protect my child and get through this smoothly."

When Jia Minnzhi stood at Mo Wanshaan's door, she heard his words and could not help but sneer.

Mo Wanshaan heard the voice and turned around to look at Jia Minnzhi. He was stunned and asked, "Minzhi, what's the matter?"

"Looks like I have disturbed you from thinking about your old friend." Jia Minnzhi said with a cold face.

Mo Wanshaan paused and waved his hand. "No, why are you looking for me?"

Jia Minnzhi walked two steps forward and looked at Mo Wanshaan. She said, "I just want to know. Can you still let me stay here?"

Mo Wanshaan was puzzled. "Min Zhi, what are you talking about? When did I not tolerate you?"

"Did you tolerate it?" Jia Minnzhi sneered," As long as there is something, you must be in the study room talking. There are only so few people in the house. Who are you guarding against? It was even better now. She even specifically asked Yue Feng to guard the door. What? Are you worried that I might eavesdrop on you at the door of your study?"

"What... what are you talking about?" Mo Wanshaan frowned and said, "Minzhi, you are thinking too much. I am talking with Ji Wei in the study. First of all, I am used to it. Secondly, aren't you unhappy to see Ji Wei?"

"Oh, so you are still happy for me?" Jia Minnzhi glanced at him and laughed disdainfully.2

Mo Wanshaan choked and felt that he could not communicate with Jia Minnzhi, so he waved his hand and said, "You can think whatever you want. I never wanted to be on guard against you. I have a clear conscience."

"What a clear conscience. Then what did you say to Ning Jiwei in the study today?" Jia Minnzhi looked at Mo Wanshaan provocatively and said, "Mo Wanshaan, do you dare to tell me?"

Mo Wanshaan was stunned for a moment and looked at Jia Minnzhi with a complicated expression. "Minzhi, do you really want to know, or do you want to know for whom? You never cared about the content of my conversation with Ji Wei. "

Jia Minnzhi froze and suddenly said angrily, "Mo Wanshaan, it was clearly you who did something wrong. Now you dare to doubt me?"

"That's not what I meant, it's just..." Mo Wanshaan rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly, "Forget it. Let's not argue about this. It's late. You should rest early. "

Jia Minnzhi coldly snorted and said, "If you say you don't want to argue, then don't argue. I haven't agreed yet! "

Mo Wanshaan did not expect Jia Minnzhi to be so unreasonable tonight. His expression could not help but turn cold, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Jia Minnzhi gritted her teeth and stared at Mo Wanshaan. "Mo Wanshaan, it was you who let me down first. No matter what I do, you are not qualified to criticize me."

Mo Wanshaan frowned and said, "I did not accuse you of anything."

Jia Minnzhi's heart was filled with hatred, but Mo Wanshaan still did not understand what she hated. He even felt that she was inexplicable.

Jia Minnzhi looked at Mo Wanshaan's impatient face and finally smiled coldly. She shook her head and said, "I am really stupid. You never had me in your heart, so how could you care about my whereabouts and choice?"

Finishing, Jia Minnzhi did not look at Mo Wanshaan anymore and turned around to leave.

Mo Wanshaan looked at her back and opened his mouth, but other than sighing, he did not know what to say.

Jia Minnzhi returned to her room, closed the door, and took a few deep breaths before calming down.

She walked to the bedside, took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, have you found out?" Mo Sheng's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jia Minnzhi pursed her lips and held the phone very tightly.

"Minzhi? Are you listening?" Mo Sheng asked again when he did not hear Jia Minnzhi speak.

Jia Minnzhi still did not answer and looked out the window.

From her angle, she could see the full moon Mo Wanshaan saw just now.

It was faint yellow and quiet.

It was just like that person. Even after so many years, it was still firmly planted in Mo Wanshaan's heart.

"Min Zhi?" Mo Sheng called again.

"Yes..." Jia Minnzhi hesitated and answered. She opened her mouth and said hesitantly, "He didn't tell me, but... I can be sure that he and Ning Jiwei are hiding something."

When she said that, Jia Minnzhi felt that she had finally walked into that fork in the road and there was no turning back.

Perhaps many years ago, when she married Mo Wanshaan, that road had already been cut off.

Later, she racked her brains to give birth to Mo Xiuyu, and then she became disheartened and chose Mo Sheng.

Every time she made a choice, she would just follow her fate, and finally fall into the abyss.
