Chapter 182 - Promise

Father Yang's mansion.

After having dinner, Yang Luzin's entire family were sipping tea in the living room discussing how they would ask money from Ning for Mangsha and Moshen's wedding.

"Why do we even have to ask anything from her? Can't you both pay for my wedding?" without waiting for their reply, Mangsha added, "Don't tell me that you people don't have any savings at all because I know that it's not true."

Mother Yang sighed and caressed her daughters cheeks. "Oh my baby, we do have savings for your wedding but we think that isn't enough, we want your wedding to be grand and we want it to be special. We will definitely contribute but we need to ask your sister and grandpa for more."

"She is not my sister," Mangsha hissed.

Slamming the table, father Yang yelled, "Don't you dare say that again."

"But—"

Cutting her off, he snapped, "How many times do I have to tell you both that no one in this house will ever talk about that?"

"Luzin you—"

Cutting his wife off, he snapped harder, "Don't make me repeat what I just said."

"Why? When she isn't a part of our family then why do we have to care about her? Why don't we just throw her out and make her feel horrible?" It had been a few weeks since Mangsha found out that Ning wasn't a part of their family, she had overheard her parents talking about Ning's real parents.

"Shut up, no one is going to do anything like that and that is an order. I'll talk to dad about the wedding, you are his granddaughter too so I am sure that he will definitely help us out."

"Before you talk to father why don't you and I have a little chat?"

Widening his eyes in shock, father Yang jolted up. Gulping in nervousness, he stuttered, "Brother you—"

Cutting him off, Weilong asked, "You look as if you have seen a ghost Luzin." Walking towards him, he added, "Have done something that would anger me?"

Composing himself, Father Yang said, "What are you doing here? You aren't supposed to come here, if father—"

"I am here to see you and trust me, even father cannot stop me.'

Weilong's glare and threatening tone made Luzin shiver. He hadn't seen his big brother for years. The last time he saw him was during Nings fifth birthday. Weilong dropped by with gifts and to look at Ning from afar before leaving but after that day, he never came because grandpa Yang asked him to stay away from everyone.

"W—Why? What happened?"

Without saying anything, Weilong grabbed his collar and yanked him away.

"You think you can still lie to me?" He shouted.

"Father," Mangsha shouted but before she could rush to save him, Mother Yang grabbed her hand and gestured her to stay quiet.

When his body hit the cold floor, Luzin groaned in pain. "Brother Weilong please listen to me."

Squatting right in front of him, Weilong gritted his teeth. "You want me to listen to you? All you had to do was take care of my little princess but you failed to do that as well. You tortured her when she was too small to even understand what was going on."

When Ziyi told him everything that had happened over the years with Ning and how she had been mistreated by Luzin and his wife, Weilong completely lost his cool. Without thinking about the consequences and his father's warning, he rushed over to Luzin's mansion to deal with him.

"We had a pact and a promise, I am still doing what I was supposed to but you broke your promise and you even hurt my daughter," he shouted before punching Luzin's face.

Luzin freaked out when blood started oozing out from the corner of his lips. "You—are you crazy? I'll tell da that you showed up and—"

Cutting him of, Weilong hissed, What makes you think that I care about anything right now? I don't care about anything but my daughter." Tightening his grip around Luzins collar, he added, ��You and your entire family are going to pay for this. I'll make sure that you and whoever involved pays ten times more than my daughter."

"You cannot harm them," Luzin whispered, making sure that his wife and daughter don't hear it.

Weilong mockingly smirked and said, "I'll make sure that they are the ones that suffer the most."

Without waiting for his reply, Weilong glared at mother Yang and Mangsha before walking out of the mansion.

After he left, Mangsha curiously asked, "Who was he? Is he Ning's real dad?"

"Go to your room Mangsha," mother Yang said.

"But—"

Cutting her off, she gritted her teeth, "Don't make me repeat myself."

Mangsha frowned and rushed towards her room without arguing any further.

...

Ning and Yichan's place.

When Ning and Yichan arrived home, Buying and muchan had already arrived and were waiting for them in the living room.

"What are you doing here so fast?" Yichan frowned. He had almost coaxed Ning to do some bedroom exercise before everyone arrives but now he could do nothing.

"We were about to leave from the hospital for dinner when you called," Muchan informed.

"We saved some dinner money because of you guys, thank you much," Nuying chuckled.

Passing the bags to the house helper, ning smiled, "I am glad you both could make it, I'll quickly prepare the dinner, you don't have to wait for long. And if you are very hungry, we have some snacks to ease your stomach.'

Taking off her coat, Nuying said, "I'll help you out Ning."

Turning towards Yichan who was sulking, Ning pulled his cheeks and chuckled, "Why don't you go and take some wine out of the cellar and we will do what you were talking about tonight."

Grinning from ear to ear, he vigorously nodded his head. "You can't take that back."

"I won't Yi, I promise."

Giving her a peck on his cheeks, he rushed towards the cellar along with Muchan.
