Ning Zhe looked at his daughter with barely concealed excitement. “Xiaxia, you look well. It seems like Old Madam Mu took really good care of you. How’s the baby? I heard there was a fire at the hospital when you were there. Were you hurt?”
Ning Zhe’s expression was one of concern as he asked about his daughter’s well-being.
Ye Xin’s heart ached when she heard the question. The man in front of her was also her father, after all. However, he was so good to Song Ning. What virtues did Song Ning have that so many loved her? Why did she have to live in Song Ning’s shadow for the rest of her life?
When Ye Xin raised her head, her eyes were slightly teary.
Upon seeing Ye Xin’s appearance, Ning Zhe thought she was unhappy. He asked tentatively, “Xiaxia, did something happen? Is there anything I can help you with?”
Ye Xin calmed herself down. Then, she inhaled deeply before she said, “I need money.”
Ning Zhe was stunned. When he regained his senses, he asked, “How much do you need?”
“A million,” Ye Xin bluntly replied.
Ning Zhe nodded without any hesitation. “Alright, give your account number. I’ll transfer the money to you immediately.”
Ye Xin was taken aback. “You… Aren’t you going to ask what the money’s for?”
Ning Zhe smiled. “Silly child, you’ve always been sensible since you were young. Since you asked for the money, I believe you have a good reason. There’s no need for me to ask so much. Alright, give me your account number.”
Ye Xin hesitated for a moment before giving her account number to Ning Zhe.
Ning Zhe did not waste time and instantly used his phone to transfer the money to Ye Xin.
Following that, Ye Xin lowered her head and twiddled her finger as she hesitantly said, “Recently, I’ve been learning to manage Zhuang Ji from Grandma. However, there was an order that wasn’t handled properly so there’s a deficit. Since no one notices it yet, I want to make up for the deficit…”
Ning Zhe’s smile deepened. This was the first time in a long time that his daughter had spoken to him so calmly and asked him for help. He knew how stubborn his daughter was. At this moment, it felt as though spring had arrived in his heart.
“Xiaxia, you’ve never run a business before and have no experience so it’s normal that you made a mistake. It’s your good fortune that Old Madam Mu is willing to teach you. You have to learn well. Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll be there for you,” Ning Zhe said gently.
Ye Xin had mixed feelings about this. Why was the treatment between and her Song Ning so different? She was the Young Miss of a wealthy family. The Ye family’s assets were not to be underestimated, after all. Although her father and brother had always given her money when she asked for it, it was still vastly different from Ning Zhe’s treatment of Song Ning. Her father and brother spoiled her and covered for her, but Ning Zhe loved Song Ning unconditionally. Everything about Song Ning was better than hers. Why was God so unfair?
Ye Xin bit her bottom lip to stop herself from crying.
However, when Ning Zhe saw this, he assumed she was ashamed and sad that she had to ask for help. Hence, he said in a tone even gentler than before, “Xiaxia, remember this. You’ll always be daddy’s daughter. I’ll always be your safe harbor.”
After taking a deep breath, Ye Xin said, “Thank you, Daddy.”
Ning Zhe looked as though he had been struck by lightning. He was overjoyed. His daughter had not called him ‘Daddy’ for more than ten years now. He really did not expect to be able to exchange a million for the word ‘Daddy’.
Words could not describe the joy he felt at this moment. He was willing to spend all his money as long as his daughter returned to the Ning family.
He answered in a trembling voice, “Xiaxia, you don’t have to be polite with Daddy. When you’re free, come home and have a look at your childhood room. I didn’t touch it at all; it still looks the same.. Xiaxia, don’t forget the door of the Ning family will always be open to you.”
