CHAPTER 521
Mr Ning could no longer contain the anger than had instantly skyrocketed into space. His ears were ringing with the unbelievable words his so-called wife, mother of his only child and daughter said.
"How dare you, Hao Chu-hua? Are you out of your God forsaken mind?"
His red eyes glared at her as he looked down at her from where he stood. Veins were now clearly visible beside his forehead and tightened fists.
Everyone... Everyone including Mrs Ning was shocked by his outburst. But Ning cared less. Her eyes were beginning to tear up.
Was she just a tool used for wealth and service and satisfaction in the eyes of the woman that carried her for nine months and birthed her? How spiteful and wealth-driven is she?
Whule her thoughts carried on, Mr Ning scolded the woman.
"Every wife? Every woman who married a man, you say? Are those words coming from you?" Mr Ning pointed a finger at her.

"Shut up," he spat out with shaking anger. "As a woman who married me, you never served me one day. Instead I became your slave all for love. And you dare to say that every woman who marries are expected to serve and satisfy their husbands?"
"Why are you raising your voice at me? And how can you say that I never served you?" Mrs Ning questioned back with a frown.
"Don't make me start recalling things, Hao Chu-hua. I have been silent for so many years does not make me an idiot and one who had a volatile memory."
Mrs Ning remained mute with her lips pursed and head down. She knew what her husband said was the plain truth. He has been good to her before and after their marriage till now.
In fact, he was too kind and agrees to all she wants. That was the main reason why she got ahead of herself and started bossing everyone around.
Her attitude was too bossy that it had even pushed his siblings away from them. If not for Ning Xiaozhi, he was sure that his brothers would not have allowed their children step foot into his home.
But now he has had it till up his neck. It has become so irritating that a feeling of regret washed over him. For once, he wished he had never met her not to even talk of marrying her.
"You have gone far enough and have also pushed me past my breaking point Mr Ning finally said. He then turned to his daughter and Ye Chaoxiang.
His headache ached when he saw the hurt expression on Ning Xiaozhi's face and her teary eyes. He could see that she was holding her emotions in.
Just then, Han Duyi came downstairs with his facade of a humble smile.
"You are free to be with whomever you want," he heard Mr Ning say. His steps halted as his eyes scanned the room.
His only backer, Mrs Ning was quiet and not disputing her husband's consent to Ning Xiaozhi's marriage to another man.
"I and your mother were our own choice and you have every right to be with yours too. Plus you are our only child and I was a coward to not tend and agree to your needs and wants. Please forgive me," Mr Ning's voice broke a little at the last part.
Ning Xiaozhi remained quiet all through their blabbering. It was as if their words were like mere air blowing past her ears. But once she felt too eaten up with the pain, she stood up and left the house.
She said nothing to no one. Not even to Ye Chaoxiang and she was too pained to notice.
"Thank you for giving us your blessings. I am going after Xiaozhi."
With that being said, he gave a curt nod to the three brotherly figures to Ning Xiaozhi. As for Han Duyi, he shot him a bullet-peirceing glare before he took his leave.
"Han Duyi, you have crossed a line that you should have not gone nearby the first place," Hao Yingjie said as he stood up and slowly approached the now scared man.
The sight looked like that of a predator stalking its prey. His eye held pure violence in them. Ning Li Qiang followed but it was to stop his cousin from doing anything that could end him behind bars for life.

Meanwhile, Ning Xiaozhi had kept herself locked up inside the car Ye Chaoxiang sent for. She had she'd buckets of tears and screamed out her pain.
But it still remained as her mother's words still replayed in her head. She yanked and pulled hard in her hair hoping to stop the words.
It continued for a while before she felt her body being pulled into a warmer one. This person she knew and was very familiar with
It was this person that brought security and warmth and love into her life.
"You can let it out with me. Don't cry alone when I am here," Ye Chaoxiang whispered against her ears as his hand rubbed up and down her back in a soothing manner.
"Let it all out."
~Back inside the house~
The living room was quiet after Han Duyi left with all his shouting and pleading and cursing. All at once.
Mrs Ning just sat there with shame and guilt eating her up. She was also feeling like crying as her husband raised his voice at her. Not only that, he did so with people around.
But she could say nothing as she guessed she fell out of line like always. And thus was too much to be swallowed and accepted.
Mr Ning exhaled through his mouth as he turned on his heels to leave.
"Where are you going?" Mrs Ning asked as she held his hand.
"From this moment, you would carry out your duty as a wife and make sure our daughter forgives you before you talk freely to me."
