“Besides,” Ning Xiang crossed her arms and looked at the family expressionlessly. Everyone was on Ning Lian’s side. “what do you mean by snatching her man? If you’re sick in the head, go to the hospital for treatment. If you have serious delusional disorder, you’ll hallucinate. Fu Ze never said that he wanted to marry Ning Lian. Why should I give in?”

Ning Feng said angrily, “Don’t you have any shame? Don’t you know your place? You can’t compare to my little sister in terms of status! Are you fit to stand beside Fu Ze? You’re just a country bumpkin who fed pigs in the countryside. What makes you think you can marry a young master from the capital? Do you really think you’re a princess?”

Ning Xiang shrugged indifferently. “But Fu Ze is indeed marrying me, not Ning Lian.”

Ning Lian cried even louder.

**PAH!**

Zhao He raised her hand in anger to slap Ning Xiang’s face. She was too close and Ning Xiang could not dodge in time. Although she did not slap her face, she hit her arm.

Red marks immediately appeared on the girl’s arm which stood out on her fair skin.

“If I had known that you were such a scourge, I wouldn’t have given birth to you!” Zhao He shouted. “Get lost!”

Ning Xiang felt as if she had been stabbed by something. It was extremely painful.

“I’m the true member of the family, aren’t I? Why are you doing this to me?”

Ning Shi sneered. “That fortune-teller was right. With you around, our entire family will be in chaos.”

Ning Feng looked at Ning Xiang and said condescendingly, “Your birth characters clash with the Ning Family. Dad and Mom have done you a huge favor by letting you come home. Just stay out of trouble and do as you’re told. Naturally, life would be easier for you.”

Ning Zhuo echoed, “Before you came, our family was fine. We never quarreled. Can’t you reflect on yourself?”

Ning Xiang didn’t say anything. She looked at them with her dark eyes and stared at them silently for a few seconds until the hairs on their backs stood. Only then did she unhurriedly find a necklace from the box containing gold, silver, and jewelry.

She walked up to Ning Lian and put the necklace on her. She said in a tone so calm that it was terrifying, “This necklace was sold for thirty million at the Walls Auction. It’s called the Eye of God and I’m giving it to you.”

Ning Lian was frightened by her actions. The Ning family didn’t understand what Ning Xiang meant and looked at her in a daze.

“I was born and raised by the Ning family and this necklace more than makes up for what you’ve paid,” Ning Xiang said lightly. “From now on, I have nothing to do with the Ning family. Don’t ever disturb me again. I assure you that I’m not a good person when threatened and I’ll never let people step all over me!”

With that, she turned and left.

When he saw the determined look on Ning Xiang’s face, Ning Feng’s heart wavered. Since his foster sister was still crying in his arms, it made it impossible for him to think straight.

Watching Ning Lian gradually walk away, her lonely figure actually made him feel a strange sourness.

After leaving the door, Ning Xiang sighed.

There were only about 300 million left in her account, so she was a little flustered.

It would take two to three weeks to go through legal procedures to sever ties.

Before she left, she called her bodyguard and told him to bring out the betrothal gifts from Fu Ze.

She looked up at the sky and calculated where to go next.

Although the money in her account was not much, it was not a problem for her to live a normal life. Unfortunately, she did not have any real estate in the capital. It would take a little time if she wanted to buy one now.

It seemed that she could only stay in a hotel.

With this thought in mind, Ning Xiang walked aimlessly and unknowingly arrived at the commercial street.

There was a snack street near the commercial area. Ning Xiang walked all the way there. The crowd was bustling, and the snack stalls emitted an irresistible fragrance.

She bought some barbecue, found an open-air shed, ordered a couple of beers, and drank them slowly.

Her eyes turned red unconsciously.

“Gorgeous, are you drinking alone?”

A cheeky guy with blonde hair sat opposite Ning Xiang with a wine bottle in his hand. He smiled and said, “Are you sad? Why don’t you tell me about it? Maybe I can give you some ideas.”

His words sounded nice, but his eyes were dirty as they kept glancing at Ning Xiang’s exposed skin.

“Get lost.”

“Why so fierce?” Ning Xiang’s attitude didn’t dispel the blonde’s enthusiasm. As he spoke, he reached out to touch Ning Xiang’s arm. “Why is your arm red? Did someone hit you? Does it hurt? Let me—Ah!”

The blondie screamed. He covered his hand and looked up at the god-like handsome man.

Fu Ze’s grip was extremely strong. At this moment, his temperament felt ruthless. He looked at the blondie as if he was looking at an ant. His noble aura made the blondie not even dare to resist and run away.

Ning Xiang, who was about to make a move, turned her wrist and handed a barbeque stick to Fu Ze. “Why are you here?”

Fu Ze frowned and seemed to be a little disgusted by the food. However, when Ning Xiang sensed his emotions, she quickly snatched the skewers back.

“I’m here to pick you up.”

Ning Xiang laughed. “Why are you picking me up?”
