Called My Name
CLANG!
Lin Ruoxi dropped her glass onto the floor. It shattered.
Her face turned ice-cold whereas Ning Guangyaoâs shock turned into anger. He glared at Ning Guodong furiously with bulging eyes.
Yang Chen could feel tears falling out of Lin Ruoxiâs eyes. He threw his glass away and pulled her into his arms. âItâs okay, donât cry.â
But her immense shock was keeping her tears flowing.
Ning Guangyao immediately shouted, âWhat did you say?!â
Ning Guodong eyes turned red with his veins bulging on his face. âWhy are you all so surprised? Did I reveal a secret?â
The crowd started to become rowdy but they didnât dare to get nearer since they didnât really hear what Ning Guodong said.
Even so, the sound of broken glass and Ning Guangyaoâs attitude towards Ning Guodong still managed to arouse their curiosity.
Ning Guangyaoâs heart dropped when he realized that Ning Guodong was testing him!
âHow dare you trick me?!â Ning Guangyao gritted his teeth as he looked at his only son.
Ning Guodong sneered. âYou shouldnât have done it if you didnât want anyone to know. I merely stated the facts.â
âShut up!â
Ning Guangyao waved his hands and ordered his bodyguards around. âEnd the party immediately and disperse the crowd! No one is allowed to come near our discussion!â
The guests were mostly younger ones so they were obedient. They left immediately.
As the guests leave one by one, the four of them remained still.
Ning Guangyao held his forehead and contemplated before asking Ning Guodong, âThat woman came back and met you, am I right?!â
âWhat woman?â Ning Guodong chuckled.
âYour mother!â Ning Guangyao growled.
âHaha,â Ning Guodong laughed. âSheâs dead isnât she? Father, you can be so silly at timesâŠâ
âNo one else could have told you about it. She must be the reason I am here.â Ning Guangyaoâs fists were trembling. âTell me, where is she?!â
Ning Guodong sneered, âFather, why are you so upset? Isnât Momâs existence supposed to bring you joy?â
âWhat do you even know! Answer my question now!â
âI donât know. Itâs true that I donât know!â
Ning Guodong yelled, âIf I had known earlier I wouldnât have believed in your lies like an idiot! I had to suffer, I shed many tears because of your lies!â
âWhat are you talking aboutâŠâ Ning Guangyao looked at his son with a pained gaze.
Ning Guodong looked at Lin Ruoxi who was in Yang Chenâs arms. âI didnât believe it at first but now I get it. No wonder you never let me touch her. No wonder you wouldnât even let me think about it. It turns out you made this bitch of a daughter with another womanâŠâ
âShut up!â Ning Guangyao yelled.
Yang Chen looked at Ning Guodong with a chilly gaze.
âAm I wrong? No wonder you pointed your gun at me.â Ning Guodong pulled a ghastly smile. âIf you valued her so much, why didnât you acknowledge her? Do you really think youâre so holy and great just because youâre the Minister?â
Ning Guodong pointed at his chest. âAm I even your son?! And if I am, why should I have to suffer?! The first time I feel so strongly for a woman, I had to suffer just because she was my sister!â
SLAP!
It rang out loud and clear
Ning Guangyao slapped him and said, âI will pretend I heard nothing. I suggest you do the same.â
Ning Guodongâs face twisted into a frown. âYou hit me again. Why not beat me to death now that you have another heir? Why not just combine the two clans together?â
âYouâŠâ
Yang Chen refused to let the conversation continue. He raised his leg to kick Ning Guodong.
BOOM!
Ning Guodong wasnât strong enough to avoid him and flew back several metersâŠ
The bodyguards tensed and surrounded Yang Chen!
âYouâŠYang Chen, stop! Donât hit him anymore!â
Ning Guangyao might had slapped his son but he couldnât bear to watch Yang Chen harm his son like that.
âHit him? But I only kicked him,â Yang Chen said emotionlessly.
âYouâŠâ Ning Guangyaoâs jaw tightened but he didnât know what else to say.
Lin Ruoxi got out of Yang Chenâs arms. She wiped her tears and sorrow crossed her eyes when she saw Ning Guodong groaning on the floor.
âLetâs just leave.â Lin Ruoxi tugged on Yang Chenâs sleeve.
Yang Chen let out a heavy breath and nodded his head.
Just when they were about to leave, Ning Guodong struggled back onto his feet. His eyes were filled with hatred. âNing Guangyao! Are you even a Minister?! Do you even deserve to be the clan leader?! He broke my arm and all you can do is stand there in silence?! Youâre a useless coward!â
Ning Guangyao gritted his teeth and his face darkened. âShut up, you imbecile! Canât you see whoâs begging for your life!?â
âBegging?! I donât need that bitch to beg for my life! Iâm still going to get a taste of her soon, even if sheâs my sister! HAHAHA!â
Ning Guodong had completely lost it at this point. He was laughing like a maniac!
Just when Ning Guangyao was about to yell back at him furiously, he could feel murderous intent spreading towards him from outside!
Yang Chenâs eyes turned black. He resembled the monsters from fabled legends.
âIt seems like youâre done with life, do you really think I wouldnât dare to kill youâŠâ
Lin Ruoxi realized that something had shifted in the atmosphere. She froze when she turned around to look at Yang Chen.
Ning Guangyao yelped but it was too late!
Yang Chen teleported and in a flash he was already gripping Ning Guodongâs neck, lifting him off the ground!
Ning Guodong struggled and tried to resist by floundering around, but it was futile.
Yang Chen looked at him like a fragile puppet and turned to face Ning Guangyao. He sneered, âEvery last one of you deserves to dieâŠâ
It was at this moment, Ning Guodong realized what a grave mistake he had made!
He could feel the murderous intent from Yang Chen and realized he wasnât threatening him!
âNo!â
Just when Yang Chen was about to tighten his grip, Lin Ruoxi shrieked.
âDonât kill him!â Lin Ruoxi shook her head as tears dripped down her cheeks. âDonâtâŠâ
Yang Chen froze and looked at her stiffly.
Ning Guodong gasped for air, his eyes were filled with fear.
Ning Guangyao was relieved and he smiled at Lin Ruoxi. âRuoxi, please stop him. Iâm doing this for him. My son is just being irrational right now! BesidesâŠGuodong is the only heir of Ning clanâŠâ
Lin Ruoxi turned to face Ning Guangyao. âYouâŠyou called my nameâŠâ
She was right, he did call her name.
Before that, he kept calling her President Lin or Miss LinâŠ
Now that he wanted to save his son who tried to rape his sister, he called her name.
Just her name!
Yang Chen was furious. âDo you honestly think itâll work?â
However, Lin Ruoxi turned around and told him. âLet them go.â
Yang Chen was surprised and he looked at her in disbelief. âYouâŠwhat did you say?â
âHoneyâŠâ Lin Ruoxi pled, âThis is the last time I will beg you for this. Please⊠I wonât do it anymore. Please donât kill him. I wonât stop you if this happens again.â
âAgain?! Didnât you hear what he said?! Did you hear what he called us?!â Yang Chen raised his voice.
Lin Ruoxi sobbed and looked at Ning Guangyao who was looking back at her expectantly.
She struggled with herself before she sighed and uttered a few words painfully. âIâll never forgive you if you kill him todayâŠâ
