Ning Ran turned around and walked away, not wanting to pay him any more attention.

But Ning Zigiang went after her and said, “Ran, you can't pretend to not know me. I'm your father.”"Don’t follow me, I don't know you!” Ning Ran pointed at Ning Zigiang and said.

“Ran, how can you treat your father as such? You can't leave.”

Ning Zigiang rushed over and grabbed Ning Ran.

It got awkward as Ning Ran was trying to break free but Ning Zigiang wouldn't let go.

If it had continued, they would soon be surrounded by a crowd.

“Let go, I don't know you!” Ning Ran glared at Ning Zigiang.

“How can you not know me? I'm your father. I raised you. How can you pretend not to know me?Ran, do I have to get on my knees to beg you for you to accept me?”

With that, Ning Zigiang was about to get down on his knees when Ning Ran quickly grabbed andstopped him

She couldn't let him get on his knees. Otherwise, people would start gossiping!

“Let's talk in the car.” Ning Ran had no choice but to deal with him calmly.

She needed to get him out of sight first in case the crew catch sight of him. Then she would figureout a way to get rid of him.

An instance of gleeful anticipation flashed across his face. He knew Ning Ran wouldn't just leavehim like that since she needed to keep up appearances.

Ning Ran left the set in Cheng Xiangyun’s car, leaving Cheng Xiangyun with no choice but to take acab.

“How have you been all these years? Ran, where have you been? I couldn't replace you anywhere,”Ning Zigiang asked.

“Don’t bother Ning Zigiang. You shouldn“t have come to look for me if you have any sense ofshame!” Ning Ran said coldly.

“Ran, how can you say that? I've always cared about you and have been asking around about yourwhereabouts, but I couldn't replace you,” Ning Zigiang said.

Ning Ran sneered, “Stop acting, will you? Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?What's the point of putting on an act with me?”

“Ran, I know you have some misunderstandings about me. What happened to your mother..."

“Do not ever mention my mother! Ning Zigiang, you don't deserve to talk about her! If it wasn't foryou, my mother would still be alive! You and Luo Yi killed her; you don't have the right to talk abouther!”

Her mother's death had been the biggest wound on Ning Ran'’s heart; it had never really healed.

A slight graze was all it took to open up old wounds.

Ning Zigiang didn't mind that Ning Ran was yelling at him.

“You shouldn't yell at me like that, I'm your father. You cannot blame me for your mother's death.She took things too hard and had always been a cunning person...”

“Shut up! You and that slut, Luo Yi, had been the cause of her death. And you still dare blame herfor taking things too hard? Do you still have a heart? Then again, it's not surprising as you've neverhad a heart, to begin with! You're not even human!”

Ning Zigiang couldn't stand it anymore. He cried out, “Ran! Can you not talk like that?”

“I just speak the truth. You dared do it but dare not face the accusations head-on?”

They had reached the end of the set by now. Since there were very few people around, Ning Ranstopped the car.

"What are you doing? Why did you stop the car here?” Ning Zigiang asked.

"Get out of the car! I don't want to talk to you. Please don't come looking for me at my workplaceever again. I cannot afford to create a scene,” Ning Ran said coldly.

“But we are father and daughter. Shouldn't we have a meal together since we have not met for solong? I've asked Aunt Luo to book a place for us, she's waiting for us as of this moment. I willnavigate you there,” Ning Zigiang said.

"You still want to have a meal with me? Do you think I still have the appetite? Get down from the carnow!” Ning Ran said coldly.

“Ran, you cannot treat your biological father like that. You're getting out of line,” Ning Zigiang cried.“I'm...getting out of line? You still expect me to have a meal with you when you and that old hagkilled my mother? Dream on! I know you have been colluding with Feng Minsheng to try and hurtme. I know everything! Both of you just pop up once Feng Minsheng has been exposed? I've neverseen such shameless people!”

Ning Ran’s temper was flaring as she talked.

“Ran, I know you have some misunderstandings about us. Things will be better once we explain it toyou. Aunt Luo has booked a place so that we can have a meal to clear things up. You will regret it ifyou don't go,” Ning Zigiang said.

Ning Ran heard the threat and said, “Why would I regret it? What are you two planning?”

“I'm not too sure either. In short, Aunt Luo said that you must come over for a meal so that she canclear things up with you. Otherwise, it will be bad for everyone. You know how sentimental yourAunt Luo can be. She kept a lot of your mother's personal belongings after she died. You shouldhear her out. Perhaps you might replace something of much value to you.”

Ning Zigiang was clearly hinting on something. Ning Ran felt that things were not so simple.

He clearly meant that Luo Yi had something that belonged to her mother. But he would not tell herwhat it was.

Could it be that USB? Or was it something even more important?

Even if it wasn't anything important at all, she still couldn't allow it to fall into the hands of thatb***hi

Moreover, Luo Yi must have something on hand since she dared ask Ning Zigiang to come to lookfor her.

This bunch of imbeciles were very good at scheming against their own, although they couldn'tmanage a company well. They must have some kind of leverage to get Ning Ran to come over.“Ran, don't think too much of it. Let's just go; it's just a meal. You will replace out once you get there.Otherwise, you will regret it. Your Aunt Luo has been waiting for you for a long time now,” NingZigiang urged.

"Why would I regret it?” Ning Ran asked.

Ning Zigiang avoided the question and instead said, “Your mother has passed away after such along time. I know you're a filial daughter. Her personal belongings must be very precious to you,right? Moreover, I understand from your Aunt Luo that the dead wouldn't be resting in peace if shehad engaged a sorceress to cast some spells on the dead person's personal belongings.”

He then continued, “Your Aunt Luo happens to know a very powerful sorceress. Maybe she will dosomething about it. Of course, I don't believe in all this bullshit. After all, it's just feudal superstition.But Ran, since you love your mother so much, you wouldn't want her personal belongings to betreated like that, right? Everything will be better once you come over for a meal to clear things up.”The threat was obvious.

“Both of you are so brazen! Using my mother’s personal belongings against me!”

“Don’t say such things, Ran. We're not threatening you. We just have some misunderstandingsbetween us. Moreover, we're not asking any other things from you. It's just a meal. How hard canthat be ?"

Ning Zigiang had even smiled. He actually smiled!

"What are you smiling at? What's so funny? How shameless!”

"Stop scolding. Let's go quickly. You know how short-tempered your Aunt Luo can be. If you let herwait for too long, she might become anxious and pass your mother's belongings to the sorceress.You would want your mother to rest in peace since you're a filial daughter, right?
