"Sisi, don't cry. With Grandpa here, no one can bully you." Old Master Ning strode in and pushed Ning Hongde away from him. He pulled Ning Qiansi into his arms and gently patted her back.

"What grievances did Sisi suffer? Tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will make the decision for you." Old Master Ning's voice was not loud, but his tone was powerful, causing everyone present to not dare to speak.

Ji Shufeng and Ning Qiaoyun had just been pleased with themselves for a short while, when they saw such a change, their expressions instantly turned ugly.

Why was it so difficult to deal with this little slut today? A group of people rushed to stand up for her.

"Grandfather!" Ning Qiansi finally cried out in Old Master Ning's arms.

In her second life, her grandfather still protected her and doted on her.

Why hadn't she seen Ji Shufeng and Ning Qiaoyun's true colors in her previous life? If she had found out earlier, would her grandfather not have left her?

However, the heavens had given her another chance. In this life, she would definitely take revenge and punish all those who betrayed and hurt her!

"Dad, why are you here?" Ning Hongde was very dissatisfied with Old Master Ning's interruption in teaching Ning Qiansi a lesson, but he did not dare disobey. He could only open his mouth to ask, his voice much weaker than before.

"Humph, why am I here? If I don't come, my precious granddaughter might be bullied by you!" Old Master Ning said snappily.

Ning Hongde felt embarrassed to be lectured in front of his wife and daughter. With a sullen face, he argued with Old Master Ning, "Dad, you're late. You have no idea what Ning Qiansi has done!"

As he said this, Ning Hongde pulled the red-eyed Ning Qiaoyun in front of him and complained, "Dad, Qiaoyun finally managed to negotiate a collaboration, but in the end, she was slandered by Ning Qiansi. You have to judge for yourself. Is this something that an elder sister would do?"

Old Master Ning sneered and said unhurriedly, "I heard that Ning Qiaoyun slandered Sisi first."

Ning Qiaoyun's already ugly face instantly turned incomparably pale.

Ning Hongde was easy to fool, but Old Master Ning was not someone she could handle.

Seeing this, Ji Shufeng quickly spoke up, "Old Master, you can't say that. It was just a misunderstanding. Someone must have used a fake video to frame Qiaoyun."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked with sobs.

"Qiaoyun rushed home to show us the video out of concern for her sister. How could she bear to see her sister go astray?"

Ning Qiansi stood at the side coldly. When she heard Ji Shufeng's words, she did not even have the strength to be angry anymore.

This woman looked weak, but her ability to distort the truth with her mouth was really hard to guard against.

"That's right, how could Qiaoyun call that slander? She was obviously concerned about Ning Qiansi. In the end, she did not know what was good for her and tried to harm Qiaoyun instead. How detestable!"

Old Master Ning looked at his son in front of him with a complicated gaze. His heart was completely leaning towards Ji Shufeng and his daughter. He felt extremely disappointed.

He chuckled and said, "Let's assume that Ning Qiaoyun is concerned about Sisi. As her father, you can't just let this go. You have to find the mastermind behind the assassination of Sisi and punish him severely."

Ning Qiaoyun gritted her teeth when she heard this. Ji Shufeng pressed her hand on her leg, reminding her not to be impulsive.

Old Master Ning gave them a warning look and continued, "As for whether Qiaoyun's matter is true or false, we'll find out after going to the hotel to investigate."

The short sentence smashed into Ning Qiaoyun's and Ji Shufeng's hearts one word at a time. The two of them felt weak all over and their hearts were filled with panic.

"Old, old man, isn't it inappropriate to bother the hotel over such a small matter?" Ji Shufeng forced a smile, trying to salvage the situation.

They had not had the time to destroy the evidence. If they were to listen to Old Master Ning and go to the hotel to investigate, there would be no turning back.

Although this matter was not a threat to their status, it was enough to make Ning Hongde disappointed in Ning Qiaoyun.

Without Ning Hongde's support, the mother and daughter were nothing in the Ning family.

In order to take control of the Ning family, Ji Shufeng had paved too many paths for Ning Qiaoyun. She could not afford to fail at the last minute!

"That's right, Grandfather. Since the cooperation has already been negotiated, why bother with these things?" Ning Qiaoyun quickly agreed, "Besides, I am a girl after all. If this matter gets out of hand, how am I going to face others?"

As she spoke, Ning Qiaoyun's voice sounded like she was about to cry. Those who heard her could not help but soften their hearts.

Seeing this, Ning Hongde's heart ached for her. He quickly pulled Ning Qiaoyun into his arms and comforted her in a low voice.

"Now you're open-minded again. Who was the one who was holding onto this matter and making things difficult for Sisi just now?" Old Master Ning snorted coldly, feeling even more disgusted with Ning Qiaoyun and Ji Shufeng.

"Little Yun is a girl, of course she would be angry if she was made up like that. Please forgive her." Ji Shufeng lowered her attitude. Anyone would think that she was being bullied for being so weak.

Ning Qiansi rolled her eyes speechlessly. The one who was supposed to bite was now acting like she was being bullied. It was really disgusting.

"Grandpa, forget it. Dad only hit me once." Ning Qiansi lowered her head and held Old Master Ning's arm, gently shaking it like a spoiled child.

Who doesn't know how to act weak and disgusting, Ning Qiansi thought to herself.

Sure enough, Old Master Ning immediately felt his heart ache for her. He looked at Ning Hongde with an ugly expression on his face.

"This time, I will not pursue this matter any further for Sisi's sake. If such a thing happens again in the future, I will not let you off lightly!" Old Master Ning's voice was like a loud bell. For a moment, Ning Hongde, Ji Shufeng, and Ning Qiaoyun did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

"I'm not dead yet, and all of you are ganging up to bully Sisi. Remember, I'm the one in charge of this family, so don't even think about doing anything bad under my nose!"

After saying that, Old Master Ning pulled Ning Qiansi along and turned around to leave.

"Sisi, follow Grandpa back to the old house. Auntie Zhang's dishes today are all your favorite."

"That's great. I haven't eaten Aunt Zhang's cooking in a long time." Ning Qiansi smiled so brightly that her eyes curved. She held Old Master Ning's arm like an innocent little girl.

The grandfather and grandson left while chatting and laughing, leaving behind three people with ugly expressions on their faces.

Ning Hongde, in particular, stared at Old Master Ning's back as he left, feeling very unfair.

Ever since Ning Qiansi's mother passed away and he married Ji Shufeng, Old Master Ning seemed to have been possessed and chased him out of the ancestral mansion with Ji Shufeng and her daughter. Only Ning Qiansi was allowed to enter.

This was a disgrace to Ning Hongde.
