Ning Qiu Tong tried calling a few more times. Only after hearing the same machine generated voice did she helplessly stop.

When she thought of herself personally chasing away the only person who could save her father, she felt extremely remorseful and wretched.

Ning Qiu Tong ah Ning Qiu Tong…

You are so conceited, shallow and ignorant!

While thinking about it, Ning Qiu Tong suddenly slapped her own face.

After a loud slapping sound, a few finger marks appeared on her exquisite face.

That slap was really not light.

The dejected Ning Qiu Tong sat down on a chair. Her eyes were insipid, like a zombie.

This incident had indeed shocked her greatly.

Her father was down with a serious illness, however, she chased away the person who had a chance at saving her father.

She thought about the irony of the situation.

Every time she remembers that she was the one who personally told that person to get lost, she really wanted to kill herself by running into a wall.

She had already seriously offended that person.

What do I do…

Ning Qiu Tong sat there in a daze for quite some time.

Suddenly, she slapped herself on the cheek again.

After the slap, Ning Qiu Tong suddenly started to giggle silly.

The hospital corridors were very empty, the only person there was her. She was sitting on the chair giggling silly with her hair down.

If a person walked passed by accident, they would be scared out of their daylights.

After laughing for a while, Ning Qiu Tong finally stopped the silly giggle. Once again, she deeply breathed in.

Next, she gently tugged on her hair.

After tidying up her messy hair, she raised her hands and rubbed her slightly swollen red eyes.

When she put down her hands, it was as if she suddenly became another person.

Although her eyes were still red and swollen, and her long lustrous black hair was slightly messy, her temperament was completely different from before.

The proud queen of Zhong Hai was back!

She opened her father’s phone and dialled another number.

Once the call was picked up, she calmly said, “Old Hu, it’s me. I need you to put aside everything for now and come to my house. See if there was a young male stranger recorded by the security camera at around yesterday afternoon. I want you to find out everything about him within 3 days. Can you do it?”

After that, she quietly waited for the other party to reply.

Once she heard his reply, she continued, “I don’t care how you plan to do it. All I need is to find him within 3 days. Zhong Hai is not that big, I hope that you can give me good news.”

She then ended the call and walked towards Ning Zhong Guo’s ward.

Inside the ward, professor Xie was still carefully checking on Ning Zhong Guo’s situation.

When Ning Qiu Tong saw that Ning Zhong Guo’s complexion was much better, she thought of how effective the medicinal pill was.

Without any regard for others, Ning Qiu Tong began to pick up the things on the floor.

When Ning Qing Xue saw her sister’s abnormal actions, she started to help her pick up the things while asking in concern, “Sis, are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Ning Qiu Tong gave a small laugh as she received her belongings from her sister. She then faced Ning Qing Xue and said, “I need to go out later. Can you please take care of dad?”

“No problem, I’ve already requested a few days of leave from my boss.”

“Ah, that’s good.”

Once she placed all her things inside her handbag, Ning Qiu Tong stood up and patted her sister’s shoulder, “I’m going off now. Call me if there’s anything.”

“En, okay.”

Ning Qiu Tong turned and once again walked out of the ward. As for Ning Qing Xue, she stood at the same spot and gave her sister a thoughtful glance.

She felt that there was something different about her sister.

…

Kang Gu district.

As Chen Xi carried Nian Nian out of the house, he suddenly remembered something and shouted back into the house, “Aunty Zhang, Nian Nian and I are going to have dinner outside. You don’t have to leave any dinner for us.”

“Okay, come back early.”

After he heard her reply, Chen Xi then carried Nian Nian out of the house.

Lin Xuan has organized the meeting place at a slightly famous restaurant in Zhong Hai, the Sali restaurant.

The Sali restaurant was among the few restaurants in Zhong Hai that was awarded one Michelin star. It was located on the top floor of the Star hotel and its menu was quite expensive.

When Chen Xi received the address, the first thing he did is to call her.

He frankly told her that he was short of money recently and hence, he could not treat them to such a luxurious restaurant.

However, Lin Xuan was adamant about changing location and offered to treat the meal. All Chen Xi had to do was to go and eat.

After arguing for a while, Chen Xi lost and reluctantly gave in.

However, this also made Chen Xi sighed with sorrow.

Despite being back for a few days, he was already indebted to more and more people.

I will pay them back next time…

The little kiddo was already accustomed to going out with Chen Xi and thus, she did not make a fuss when grandma was not coming with them.

The trip lasted for an hour and only after boarding two public buses did they finally arrive at their destination.

“Papa, this place is so pretty!”

The little kiddo was born and raised in Zhong Hai, however, she had never been to Zhong Hai’s most vibrant central district.

After exiting the bus, she became very excited as she exclaimed in admiration at the surrounding buildings.

“Let’s go. Papa will bring you to see the Dian river.”

Dian river was one of Zhong Hai’s landmarks which passed through Zhong Hai city district. It was also the last tributary of the Yangtze River before flowing to the East China Sea.

The so-called seeing the Dian river, was actually just to see the rows of modern buildings along the sides of the Dian river.

Star hotel was located at the side of the Dian river. Chen Xi carried Nian Nian and walked by the Dian river, towards the hotel.

Since it was still before 5 pm, the pleasant sunlight shone on their heads. As the salty sea breeze blew onto their faces, the little kiddo immediately shouted excitedly towards the river.

“Papa, quickly look. Small boat!”

The little kiddo pointed at a yacht as she called agitatedly.

To her, those that drove on roads were cars, those that float on the water were boats and those that flew in the sky were airplanes.

As for a yacht and a cruise, a car and a bus, the little kiddo could only differentiate them with big or small.

“Nian Nian, do you like the sea?”

“I like! I haven’t been to the sea before. Papa, when can you bring me to the play in the sea?” The little kiddo pouted.

“When you grow up, papa will bring you there.”

“I don’t want. I want to go to the sea.”

The little kiddo had enough of it as she sat on Chen Xi’s arm and kicked her legs wildly, insisting that she wants to go to the sea.

“We have to meet big sis today. Papa will bring you to the sea some other day, okay?”

Chen Xi felt that he had an itchy mouth, asking her if she liked to go to the sea. This was just like courting death…

Just like that, the father and daughter casually strolled to the entrance of the hotel. At this time, Chen Xi’s phone rang.

“Hi, Chen Xi. Are you here yet?”

“Just reached. We are at the hotel entrance.”

“Where? Wait, don’t move, I see you! Here!”

With a phone in his hand, Chen Xi glanced around. He saw Lin Xuan standing outside the hotel entrance while continuously waving at them.

Lin Xuan wore a white cheongsam today with a light makeup on her face. Her hair was tied securely on the top of her head, making her look exceptionally dignified and exceptional.

“Let’s go, we will go up first. Lu Lu and the rest will reach a bit later.”

Chen Xi carried Nian Nian as he walked up to Lin Xuan. While talking, Lin Xuan wanted to touch the little kiddo’s cheek.

However, the little kiddo suddenly turned her small head away, showing some degree of unwillingness.

Seeing that, Lin Xuan helplessly asked, “My dear. Are you still angry with big sis?”

The little kiddo did not reply as she appeared to hold a grudge.

Hence, Lin Xuan put on a sad face and pretended to sob, “Sniff, I’m so sad. My dear is ignoring me…”

This tactic was extremely effective.

The little kiddo immediately turned her head and compassionately said, “You don’t cry. I forgive you.”

Hearing that, Lin Xuan instantly beamed with happiness and asked, “Can big sis carry you?”

After some serious considerations, the little kiddo reluctantly nodded.

Lin Xuan quickly took her from Chen Xi’s arms and flattered, “Let go, big sis will bring you to eat good food. You will definitely like it!”

Chen Xi felt somewhat helpless as he tagged behind. Looking at Lin Xuan talking in a childish tone with Nian Nian, a tinge of regret surfaced in his heart.

Even after so many years, she is still the same…
