Chapter 144: Rainy Night

Originally, Qin Yu did not intend to know much about the Ning family’s company because it had nothing to do with her. After all, she owned Glory World, and at most, it had some collaboration with Tiankun. The affairs of the Ning family wasn’t something she’d want to get involved in.

However, after going to Guan family’s banquet last time, Qin Yu suddenly realized that the Ning family’s affairs might not have had anything to do with her in the past, but it might not be the case in the future.

She found relevant information and began to study the hundred years’ history of the Ning family since their rise.

She also had a rough understanding of the families that were not directly related to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen had probably seen these things many times before. His parents had died in an accident, so he must have searched through everything that he could, so Qin Yu actually did not expect to find anything that Ning Chen had not found.

Her eyes felt sore, so she looked into the distance to relax her eyes.

Not far away, the servants of the Ning family were moving things down from a truck. Qin Yu looked carefully and realized that it was a wine barrel.

The busy people under the sun and the empty lawn around them formed a leisurely and quiet picture.

Wine..

Qin Yu felt as if something flashed through her mind.

Qin Yu went to her tablet.

Among the members of the Ning family that she had seen, there was a person called Ning Cheng. According to the information, Ning Cheng was born in the 1980s and was about the same age as Ning Chen’s father.

The reason why Ning Cheng left a deep impression on Qin Yu was that he drowned after he got drunk.

Ning Cheng was a distant relative of the Ning family, and he was also an illegitimate child. When he was young, he was raised in the countryside. When he was in his twenties, Ning Cheng had no money to pay back his gambling debts, so he found his biological father and came to M City.

Although Ning Cheng’s father had no conscience and had never asked about his illegitimate son in his early years, perhaps because he was getting older and began to care about family ties, he still found a job for Ning Cheng when Ning Cheng came looking for him. The young man worked as a small staff member in the Ning Corporation. It was easy work for a pretty good pay.

Three years later, Ning Cheng fell into the fountain in front of his family’s estate on a rainy night after he got drunk and drowned.

Ning Cheng was a very insignificant figure distantly related to the Ning family. One had to know that the Ning family was huge and there were more than a dozen of Ning Kang and Ning Jie’s peers. There were even more in Ning Chen’s generation.

An illegitimate child whose name could not even enter the family tree was really not worth mentioning.

Qin Yu looked at the information about the cause of death of Ning Cheng, but she had some doubts.

It was not impossible to explain why he drowned when he was drunk.

However, the day that Ning Cheng died was not as bright and sunny as today.

It was a rainy night. Why would he go out on a rainy day?

Qin Yu was thinking about Ning Cheng’s affair when Ah Bi called her downstairs for dessert. Qin Yu turned off her tablet, put on her shoes, and ran downstairs.

Not long after dinner, Ning Chen came back. After opening the door, Ah Yu put on a new woolen coat for Ning Chen and took the wet suit from Ning Chen.

“Brother, is it raining outside?” Qin Yu ran to Ning Chen and wiped Ning Chen’s face with a towel.

Perhaps it was because the wind was a little strong, some of the rain fell on Ning Chen’s face. Qin Yu’s fingers touched Ning Chen’s skin, and she could still feel a trace of coolness.

“Well, it’s autumn, and it will only get colder. You’ll have to wear more layers.” Ning Chen’s hands were cold, and he didn’t dare to reach out to hold Qin Yu’s hand. He only grabbed her by the shoulder and they went upstairs. After cleaning up, Ning Chen carried a thicker quilt from the cabinet and spread it on the bed.

“Xiao Yu, why aren’t you coming over to sleep?” Ning Chen called when he saw Qin Yu take the tablet again.

He originally wanted to look at Ning Cheng’s information again, but when he heard Ning Chen’s shout, Qin Yu turned back.

They nestled in the thick quilt. Qin Yu went straight into Ning Chen’s arms. She felt that Ning Chen’s arms were still a little cold, so she took the initiative to warm him up.

“I don’t want you to get cold,” Ning Chen wanted to pull his hands back.

“Why’re you so stiff?” Qin Yu pulled Ning Chen’s hands back without hesitation. “My body is so warm. Just treat me like a warm baby!”

Ning Chen chuckled at Qin Yu’s metaphor, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly. As his arms were held in Qin Yu’s arms, it was as if they had sunk into a soft cloud. For a moment, he was a little distracted.

Slowly holding the person in his arms tighter, Ning Chen resisted the primitive impulse that was gradually waking up in his body.

“Xiao Yu is really warm.” Ning Chen’s tone was gentle. He hugged the soft little woman in his arms with satisfaction. He felt that the empty space in his heart filled to the brim, full and warm.

“Of course. In the future, when the weather is cold, I will warm the bed every day!” Qin Yu happily raised her little head.

The rain pattered outside as a toasty warmth enveloped the inside.
