Chapter 168 Pure Surrogacy & Refined Scoundrel Adopted Son 47

What was originally a demand for repayment eventually turned into a gossip session.

Having achieved his goal, Ning Mochen stood up with a smile. "My new employer is Whale Technology, and my position remains the same. As for whether there was any leniency, I believe everyone can make their own professional judgment after watching a few more episodes of the new drama, so I won't say more here. Thank you all, this press conference is now concluded!"

After speaking, he turned around sharply, his profile cold and aloof.

But no one would think he was arrogant.

Because Ning Mochen rarely appears in public, several financial magazines have been trying to contact him for years without success.

If it weren't for his wife, would he have stood so obediently in front of the camera?

Zhou Manyun had been waiting backstage. Ning Mochen came out first, and she wanted to greet him, but someone beat her to it. She then heard Ning Mochen's cold voice say, "Send the Chu family of three to Tibet to do hard labor. Pay them a higher wage and don't worry about the money. Anyway, even if they earn it, they won't be able to spend it."

In addition, limit their contact with the outside world to prevent them from being misled by others.

I don't want the same thing to happen again.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Manyun's face burned. Wasn't this a deliberate rebuke to her face?

Ning Mochen must have found out that it was she who went to the Chu family, which is why she exposed the surrogacy agreement and caused trouble for Chu Yuan!

They're all blaming her.

But at that time, she didn't know that Chu Yuan was her biological daughter!

At the press conference just now, in order to solve Chu Yuan's predicament, the old man put all the blame on her, and she didn't say anything.

At that moment, Zhou Manyun suddenly hoped that the hospital's DNA results would be a mismatch, because if that were the case, she wouldn't have to live the rest of her life with guilt, nor would she have to feel ashamed in front of Chu Yuan!

“I…I’m sorry…” Zhou Manyun struggled to walk up to Ning Mochen and squeezed out three words with difficulty.

Ning Mochen raised an eyebrow. "Madam Zhou really shouldn't have said that to me. You haven't wronged me in any way. But if you were to say it to her, I would advise Madam Zhou not to waste her energy. She may seem gentle, but she is actually very clear about her likes and dislikes. Besides, actions speak louder than words."

Zhou Manyun was stunned, clearly not expecting Ning Mochen to give her no chance at all.

He watched helplessly as Ning Mochen strode away in a hurry.

She realized that Ning Mochen could also be anxious; she had always thought he was naturally calm and unhurried.

It turns out the person who was making him anxious hadn't appeared yet!

Finally, she waited for the old man to come out. As soon as she saw him, she couldn't wait to go up to him and asked, "Well, is everything clear now? Dad, didn't you tell me if there was anything else about Mu Wan that you didn't tell me? What was it?"

Ning Hong swayed slightly; he had been out of the hospital for too long and his body couldn't take it anymore.

The assistant quickly took out a few pills and handed them to the old man with a glass of water. "Chairman, we need to get back to the hospital right away."

Ning Hong nodded, took the pill, and swallowed it without even drinking water.

After eating and catching my breath, I asked Zhou Manyun, "Has the blood test been arranged?"

"I've already made arrangements by phone, but it will take at least three days to get a result."

"It's okay, let's go. I'll tell you as we walk back to the hospital."

In the car, Ning Hong leaned back in his seat, looking utterly exhausted, as if he would faint the moment he closed his eyes.

Zhou Manyun was extremely anxious, but she really couldn't urge them.

I didn't think so before. I thought that Ning Mochen was gone and that was that. Anyway, he wasn't my biological son, so I didn't have any feelings for him.

But now it's clear that Ning Mochen is the old man's pillar of support. With him around, the old man doesn't have to worry about anything; he manages the company and the hospital perfectly.

Now that he has only been gone for a few days, the Ning family is like a family without its backbone. All the big and small matters are being put on the old man's shoulders. The old man doesn't trust anyone else, so he has no choice but to drag his ailing body to do everything himself. Dealing with each matter one by one is very exhausting, and he has been critically ill several times in just these few days.

The old man's private doctor issued an ultimatum, forbidding him from getting involved in work matters, but the old man ignored it and instead became even more insistent.

Zhou Manyun had a hunch that the old man had probably given up!

He just wanted to make all the necessary arrangements before he left!

The thought filled Zhou Manyun with panic. What would happen to her and Mu Wan if the old man passed away? Neither she nor her daughter had ever managed the company, and Mu Wan was currently mentally unstable and couldn't remember anything…

Subconsciously, Zhou Manyun was more worried about Ning Muwan.

She poured her purest maternal love into Ning Muwan, while her feelings for Chu Yuan were extremely complex and difficult to describe.

To Zhou Manyun's surprise, Mu Wan did not disappear naturally!

To put it bluntly, her disappearance four years ago was actually something she orchestrated herself!

The old man closed his eyes, unable to tell whether he was more disappointed or saddened. "Before Mo Chen returned from abroad, didn't Mu Wan intern at the group for a while? Everyone knows she is my only granddaughter and the true heir of the Ning family. So some people schemed against her and brought her into some abnormal investment circles."

The most famous of these is Accumulator, which is known in Hong Kong as "I kiil you later!"

It was called an investment, but it was no different from gambling. Mu Wan started by playing with her own money, but later she embezzled company funds and borrowed money from loan sharks everywhere. When she completely lost, she realized that what she was about to lose was money that even selling Ning's Group couldn't pay back. So she devised a plan to make herself disappear and wipe out her gambling debts!
