Chapter 532: Despair

Ning Zongxuan did not dare to plead for Ning Tangxi. He feared that Ning Tang would turn his wrath on him next and chase him away. Zhang Yuan almost fell to the ground when she saw Ning Tang's heartless behavior.

She did not know why, but she remembered the look that Gu Ruochu had given her during their confrontation. Zhang Yuan had felt like her daughter had given up on her.

She had lost her only chance of getting back together with her daughter.

"Mom, let's go upstairs."

Ning Zongxuan helped his already weak mother up the stairs. Zhang Yuan's heart was in a mess. She no longer had the strength to care about Ning Tangxi.

"Dad, don't go. I was wrong! Dad!"

Ning Tangxi chased after Ning Tang. Unfortunately, she stumbled and fell to the ground and continued to cry. She reached out her hand towards him, but he had already disappeared.

The scene looked pitiful and pathetic. However, the servants had to follow Ning Tang's instructions.

"Miss Ning, are you going to leave by yourself, or should we ask you to leave?" The butler was a little embarrassed as he interrogated Ning Tangxi, but he still intended to carry out his duty.

"You dare to chase me away?" Ning Tangxi turned around and looked at him with a deadly cold look in her eyes. "I'm the eldest Miss of the Ning family, and you dare to chase me away? My father is just angry and said something fierce. He won't chase me out of the house. If you try to chase me out, I'll have my father throw you out instead!"

Despite Ning Tangxi's scolding, the butler remained calm, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes. "Miss Ning, if you don't leave this house, I'll be the one to be chased away, so I'm sorry."

The butler had worked for Ning Tang for many years. He knew how ruthless his master could be.

A few servants approached Ning Tangxi and pulled her up.

They dragged her towards the door with indifferent expressions on their faces. Ning Tangxi looked at Ning Zongxuan for help, but he pretended not to see her.

Ning Zongxuan could not dare to disobey his father anymore.

If he got kicked out of the Ning family, he would have nothing.

At that moment, a feeling of desperation overcame Ning Tangxi. She realized that she had lost her son and her home.

"No..."

Ning Tangxi cried until her throat was hoarse, but no one sympathized with her. The servants threw her out and slammed the door mercilessly.

Some visitors had just arrived at the Ning family's villa. Ning Tangxi could not afford to lose face, so she turned around and ran away.

Li Tezhu carried the child and deliberately avoided Ning Tangxi as he walked towards the heavily armored car in their convoy. Huo Nanchen sat in the car calmly. He had watched the whole scene unfold without getting out to intervene.

"Daddy!"

Cheng Xi, who was twitching, saw Huo Nanchen's familiar face and immediately extended his body towards him.

Huo Nanchen raised his head and quickly extended his hands to carry the child. "Cheng Xi, why are you crying?"

"Mommy..."

"Let me take you to see your aunt, okay?"

Huo Nanchen's gentle voice comforted Cheng Xi, and his tense body relaxed. The thought of seeing Gu Ruochu appeared to have persuaded him to stop crying, and he hugged Huo Nanchen tightly.

"..."

After they arrived at the Huo residence, Huo Nanchen carried Cheng Xi out of the car.

He had already informed Gu Ruochu about his intentions, and when she heard the car drive into the compound, she exchanged glances with Mrs. Huo before going out to meet them.

"Aunt! Grandmother!"

Cheng Xi wiped the tears from his face and got out of Huo Nanchen's arms. He then ran towards Gu Ruochu excitedly.

Gu Ruochu was a little horrified as she watched Cheng Xi run towards her. She was afraid that he would fall to the ground.

Huo Nanchen watched silently as Cheng Xi made his way towards Gu Ruochu. There was a deep, lingering look in his eyes.

"Cheng Xi, be good."

Gu Ruochu opened her arms and hugged him.

"Are you hungry? I will take you out for dinner."
