Chapter 148: Failed Plan
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Bai Xin did not know how Du Ming’s incident would affect her husband but she could hear the seriousness of the situation from Ning Jie’s tone.
She had never seen her husband so nervous and fearful.
Therefore, after hanging up the phone, Bai Xin immediately called Bai Ting over.
Bai Ting was still a little confused. She did not expect that Ning Jie would care so much about this man named Du Ming. She did not even know who Du Ming was.
Bai Xin bent down and looked at Bai Ting’s swollen face. She grabbed Bai Ting’s hair and dragged Bai Ting to her.
It was all Bai Ting’s fault!
Although Bai Xin was Ning Jie’s wife, Ning Jie had been fooling around for so many years. He had even had a few children out of wedlock.
Countless mistresses tried to replace her. She had no choice but to protect her position as the legitimate wife. She even told Ning Yu to be successful and not let Ning Jie down.
Bai Xin had not had an easy life all these years. She was afraid of losing Ning Jie’s love, and now, because of Bai Ting’s stupid mistake, she had almost been despised by Ning Jie!
Bai Xin, who was still a little scared, said in a gloomy tone, “Think before you do anything. Don’t abandon your intelligence just to marry that blind man. Don’t forget that I brought you here. I can send you back any time!”
Bai Ting’s body suddenly shivered and she hugged Bai Xin’s arm tightly. “No! Auntie, don’t send me away. I’ll listen to everything you say!”
Bai Xin gave Bai Ting a beating and helped her up. “You can leave now.”
After sending Bai Ting away, Bai Xin sat in front of the dressing table, still a little worried.
She called Ning Yu and asked him to pay more attention to Du Ming’s matter. He also had to be more cautious in Ning Chen’s company and see if there was anything wrong with Ning Chen.
As for Bai Ting...
Bai Xin’s eyes darkened.
In fact, she didn’t bring Bai Ting into the Ning family because she liked Bai Ting. After all, Bai Ting wasn’t her biological daughter.
Bai Xin wanted Bai Ting to marry a high-status person in the four big families like Ning Jing. By then, as Bai Ting’s aunt, her position in the Ning family would be strengthened.
However, she didn’t expect Bai Ting to have such high standards. She had set her eyes on Ning Chen, the heir apparent of the Ning family.
Regarding Bai Ting and Ning Chen, Ning Jie and Bai Xin had discussed it together some time ago.
After some discussion, they felt that letting Bai Ting marry Ning Chen was a good plan.
Although Ning Jie had won the support of most of the major shareholders in the Ning Corporation and held the power to appoint important positions in various departments, Ning Chen had one thing that he didn’t have.
It was the support of the Old Master Ning.
Ning Jie was very afraid that the Old Master Ning would find Ning Chen a wife with an extremely prominent family background.
If Ning Chen were to marry one of the young ladies from the other four families, then Ning Chen would have the support of external parties. It would be even more difficult for him to take Ning Chen down.
However, if Ning Chen married Bai Ting, and Bai Ting was someone from their family, they naturally would not have to worry anymore. Bai Ting could even be used as a spy to watch Ning Chen.
However, Ning Jie never expected that Old Master Ning would actually let Ning Chen marry a fool.
Although he heard that Ning Chen was originally going to marry that fool’s sister. Their plan to matchmake Bai Ting and Ning Chen had failed.
Fortunately, Qin Yu was an orphan girl without parents, and the Shi family wasn’t a powerful aristocratic family, so they couldn’t pose a threat to Ning Jie.
Moreover, the Shi family did not seem to care about Qin Yu at all.
She was just a helpless fool, who was easily manipulated.
However, after Bai Xin went to Ning Chen’s house a few times, she realized that things were not like that. Although that fool had a problem with her brain, she was not easy to deal with.

“Why is Xiao Yu here?” Ning Chen had just finished reading a contract when he saw Qin Yu coming in with the secretary.
The secretary respectfully retreated. Ning Chen walked forward and held Qin Yu’s hand. Her hands were cold, so he said with heartache, “The weather is getting cold. You should remain home.”
Qin Yu’s nose was slightly red from the cold, and her little face was pink. She looked like a porcelain doll.
“I missed you, Chen. I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to eat properly again. Xiao Yu learned from Ah Bi how to make a thousand layers of raw coconut latte. Chen, do you want to have a taste?”
Qin Yu opened the box in her hand and a rich aroma wafted into the office.
“Is this really made by Xiao Yu?”
Ning Chen was a little surprised. He had eaten quite a lot of delicious food since he was young.. The dessert Qin Yu had just fed him was actually not inferior to that of a professional dessert shop.
