Chapter 1514: You Don’t Know What You’ve Done?

That Mrs. Ning from Ronghe Group swept her eyes over everyone present with disdain, as if she had encountered someone with whom she had a deep-seated hatred.

A young girl beside her said, "Aunt, what’s going on with my cousin now? Why is he here for dinner?"

Mrs. Ning stared directly at Ning Yan with a sharp tone, "You never come home. I applied to visit you at your research institute, and you always said you were too busy with research to see family. Yet here you are dining with them? How are you any different from your deadbeat father? You just lie to me!"

Ning Yan kept his head down, silent, with no intention of responding.

Feng Yi, sitting next to him, noticed that he was trembling even more!

Feng Huaijin put down his chopsticks, his expression turning cold, and his voice chilling, "Mrs. Ning!"

Feng Huaijin sat there exuding a freezing aura, dropping the surrounding temperature dramatically, making it hard for people to look directly at him.

Mrs. Ning grabbed her niece, her tone softening a bit as she looked at Feng Huaijin, "Mr. Feng, I’m sorry to disturb your meal..."

Feng Huaijin interrupted indifferently, "If you know you’re sorry, why haven’t you left?"

Mrs. Ning didn’t expect Feng Huaijin to not give her any face at all. After all, she was the wife of Ronghe Group, but Feng Huaijin left her speechless.

But Mr. Feng’s attitude... could it be that he also despises her as the wife of a hollow title group?

Mrs. Ning’s sensitive heart felt pierced by Feng Huaijin, deepening the hatred in her eyes.

The bodyguards at the door immediately came in to escort the two women out.

Mrs. Ning wouldn’t agree, struggling a bit and raising her voice, "Ning Yan, are you still my son? Who is really your family? You have a home and don’t return, a mother you don’t acknowledge, yet you’re with others like a family. Do I mean nothing to you?"

The cousin chimed in, "Ning Yan, aren’t you going to apologize to Aunt? Don’t you know she thinks of you 24 hours a day?"

Su Li listened to the duet of these two women, feeling a headache.

It was just a simple family gathering, how did outsiders come and meddle in it?

Feng Yi thought for a moment, then suddenly turned to whisper a few words in Su Li’s ear, "I’ve only heard about this, can’t guarantee it’s true."

Uncle Ning always shrouded his past home life in secrecy, seldom mentioning it even to her.

But Su Li began to understand a bit.

For a child to have no attachment to home whatsoever, or perhaps feel fear, what sort of things did this mother do?

Su Li raised her eyes to carefully observe Mrs. Ning’s gaze, seeing obsession and madness.

She watched as Mrs. Ning, seemingly suffering a manic episode, tried to break free to grab Ning Yan, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Enough!"

Everyone froze on the scene.

Su Li looked coldly at Mrs. Ning and said, "Your son rejects you so much, don’t you know what you’ve done before?"

Mrs. Ning’s face turned pale, loudly defending herself, "I, I didn’t do anything! He was disobedient so I tapped him lightly, right... His father didn’t come home, I told his father to come back to see him."

Su Li and Feng Huaijin exchanged a look, a trace of astonishment in their eyes.

They instantly understood what this meant, realizing that this prodigy grew up experiencing domestic violence?

Su Li knew that Ning Yan’s father had a family abroad, and not only kept another woman but also had two children.
