CHAPTER 685: CHAPTER 685 CLIMAX! THE TRUTH REVEALED 1

Ning Jingshen’s chest heaved violently, "Are you accusing me? Am I not the victim here?! Raising a daughter for over a decade for a man whose name I don’t even know, that is an utter humiliation!"

Ning Xixi staggered, then Ji Yebai quickly caught her by the waist with his swift hands.

The warmth of his large palm was so comforting.

"You said it yourself, you’ve raised Ning Xixi for over a decade, even if it were a dog you’d have feelings for it, wouldn’t you? But what about you? Do you have any feelings for Ning Xixi? In your eyes, she’s probably nothing!" Ji Yebai sneered with contempt, "I’m truly glad for Ning Xixi that she’s severed ties with a father like you!"

Ji Qing frowned upon hearing this, "What do you mean ’severed ties’?"

Ji Yebai indifferently replied, "Mr. Ning forced Ning Xixi to sign a severance of paternal relations agreement."

"Nonsense!" Ji Qing couldn’t contain his anger, his chest trembling, "Law doesn’t recognize such severance of parenthood, what right do you have to sever your relationship with Xixi?"

Ning Jingshen said nonchalantly, "If you want to raise her, go ahead. I, Ning Jingshen, hereby declare that from now on, I have absolutely no relationship with Ning Xixi!"

Lu Qinghe, gleeful inside, still wore a concerned expression on the surface, "Old Ning, this isn’t very sensible. After all, Xixi bears the Ning surname, and when people mention her in the future, they will also think of you. How about you follow Mr. Ji Qing’s example and adopt Ning Xixi as your goddaughter?"

It appeared to be an accommodating proposal, but in reality, it was an insult to Ning Xixi!

By saying this, she acknowledged that Ning Xixi was not Ning Jingshen’s biological daughter, and the suggestion of adopting her as a goddaughter would make it even harder for Ning Xixi to fit in Ying City!

Ji Yebai’s icy gaze shot towards Lu Qinghe, this woman was truly ruthless! She would stop at nothing to ruin Ning Xixi!

He would not tolerate her actions!

Ji Qing looked at Ning Xixi’s pale face, feeling waves of heartache.

Why should the daughter of the woman he deeply loved suffer such suspicions and grievances?

She must be so heartbroken and unable to bear it, watching from the heavens!

"Everyone should have heard it clearly now, Ning Xixi has no relation with the Ning Family anymore." Ji Yebai glanced around, looking down like a supreme deity,

"Then from now on, the Ning and Ji Families will cancel all cooperation!"

Instantly, those who were interested in partnering with the Ning Family backed off.

Many of them had shown interest in collaborating with the Ning Family only after hearing about Ning Xixi’s relationship with Ji Yebai.

Clinging onto the Ji Family’s coattails, even a single hair from their leg would be enough to send them soaring to the heavens!

However, now that Ning Xixi has severed ties with Ning Jingshen and Ji Yebai is protecting Ning Xixi like this, if they pursued cooperation with the Ning Family, they could end up offending the Ji Family by proxy!

After weighing the pros and cons, someone coughed and said, "Mr. Ning, about our cooperation deal, I need to consider it again!"

Ning Jingshen, in disbelief, asked, "President Wang, didn’t we settle everything already? How can you go back on your word!"

Others chimed in one after another—

"Mr. Ning, our company’s cash flow is tight lately, investing in this project is very strenuous for us!"

"I’ve got another project to work on, Mr. Ning, let’s look for another opportunity to collaborate!"

"Ah, Mr. Ning, I really don’t have the funds! I’m so sorry!"

Ning Jingshen’s eyes reddened in fury, rebuking Ning Xixi, "You calamity star! Wasn’t it enough that you cuckolded me, now you even want to ruin my business? Did you whisper in Ji Yebai’s ear, making him deliberately target me!"
