CHAPTER 889 XUE KAI'S SCHEME
Xue Ning then opened the door.
Jiang Hai bowed and Xue Ning nodded. She didn't say anymore and left.
After Xue Ning disappeared into the distance, Jiang Hai looked at Jiang Daoran.
"Master, after saying this, do you think...”
"I don't know," Jiang Daoran continued drinking his tea and didn't even look up. "In any case, I can't lie to her."
"I already owe her too much."
Jiang Hai didn't ask any further. He quietly closed the door behind him and guarded the room from outside. owns all © content.
Jiang Hai started thinking about the possibilities. If Xue Ning leaked this news out, the Jiang family would be in trouble. They wouldn't face trouble from only the Pang family and the Xue family, but everyone would believe that the Jiang family was a great threat and would attract even more terrifying enemies.
Those supremely powerful families that were wiped out back then were wiped out precisely because they were rising in power and posed a threat to some others, no?
The Jiang family was now one of the four supremely powerful families. If their next generation had someone as incredibly powerful as Jiang Ning...
Nobody would want the Jiang family to remain alive.
But Jiang Daoran had made the decision not to lie to Xue Ning.
Jiang Hai had no idea what this decision of his would lead to. But in any case, since Jiang Daoran had made this decision, Jiang Hai would stick by it.
Xue Ning walked back to her bedroom after leaving Jiang Daoran's study. She saw that Xue Kai was still standing along the corridor and there was a sly look in his eyes.
"Auntie Ning."
"Why are you still here?" Xue Ning frowned in annoyance.
"Don't be angry, I just felt bad for you and couldn't hold it in. Don't be angry with me."
"I'm not angry," replied Xue Ning. "If there's nothing else, you may leave. I don't have time for you now."
"Auntie Ning, did you go and ask Uncle Daoran just now?” Xue Kai walked over and smiled and tried to gain her favor. "I know you dote on me and you also want me to become the next head of the Xue family, right?"
Xue Ning didn't say anything.
"Didn't you go and ask him whether that Jiang Ning is his son or not?"
Xue Kai had it all planned already.
In fact, he had purposely agitated Xue Ning so that she would end up kicking up a fuss in front of Jiang Daoran and question him about this.
But unexpectedly, the two of them hadn't quarreled. But judging from Xue Ning's expression, she must have gone to ask this question and got the answer.
"Yes," Xue Ning didn't deny it. "I did go and ask him this question. Do you feel that I'm very easy to manipulate now? That after you purposely tried to agitate me, I actually did what you wanted me to do?"
Xue Kai shook his head. "What are you talking about, Auntie Ning? I wouldn't dare to do such a thing."
"So how did he answer you?"
He stared at Xue Ning and refused to let her go.
Xue Kai knew Xue Ning well and knew that she would say something as long as he was persistent enough.
"I said that I don't have time for you now."
Xue Ning didn't want to bother herself with him and walked away. Xue Kai immediately ran over to stop her and he bowed slightly as he apologized profusely.
"Auntie Ning! My dearest Auntie Ning! It's all my fault, don't be angry, ok?"
"I didn't think through it before speaking and went overboard with my words. I was disrespectful towards Uncle Daoran, that's my fault!”
"Or why don't I apologize to him right now?"
He turned as if he was headed for Jiang Daoran's study and Xue Ning called after him.
"You are not to disturb him!"
Jiang Daoran didn't know anything about this, so if Xue Kai apologized to him, he would find out and might become angry. Things would become even more complicated.
Xue Kai figured she would react this way.
"I knew you wouldn't want to see Uncle Daoran scold me," Xue Kai put on a
pandering smile and said, "Auntie Ning, then tell me, how did Uncle Daoran reply you? I really want to know if he's from the Jiang family or not. Otherwise, if I end up in a fight with him and injure him, wouldn't I be hurting my own family?"
