Part 5
Zong Ling shook his head in a trance. “But Little Uncle… isn’t confirmed yet? I…”
Mu Jiayi pinched his hands. This fool, wouldn’t want not to inherit, right?
The Zong family doesn’t only have him as a junior. Isn’t he afraid of being intercepted at that time?
Mu Jiayi couldn’t say so bluntly, sighing. “But once the news is out, there will be a scramble in the Zong family. If you can’t inherit the family head position, do you know what it foreshadows?”
Zong Ling shook his head. Because Little Uncle was in the Zong family, he didn’t need to worry about these at all.
Mu Jiayi: “It foreshadows that once other Zong family descendants succeed, the second branch might be driven out of the Zong family. It also foreshadows that the Ning family ancestral home I wanted to help you buy back is no longer possible.”
Zong Ling was completely confused. “What Ning family ancestral home?”
Mu Jiayi said what happened these days. “Don’t you want Ning Yunyi to come back later and actively beg to see you to give the Ning family to him?”
Zong Ling thought of that scene, dazed for a moment. Naturally, he wanted to.
Mu Jiayi: “But once you lose the Zong family head position, the Zong family reshuffles. Let alone buying the Ning family, the assets under your name might also be taken back.”
These words were like a heavy blow to Zong Ling’s face, making him completely awake.
Ning Yunyi finished reading the news about Marshal Zong on the net and withdrew, walking to the side to start preparing ingredients.
Because the live broadcast hadn’t started, the big cat and Ning Xiao Miao went in and out of the kitchen to help.
Although Ning Yunyi could handle it alone, he also liked watching the two running around, directing them to do things within their ability.
The two were very happy, except for the big cat occasionally stealing glances at Ning Yunyi, confirming he was in a good mood before relaxing.
Ning Yunyi planned to make eighteen dishes at noon, but broadcast only six simple ones.
He prepared the dishes that took a long time to stew in advance.
Fortunately, the castle was large enough and closed enough. He just needed to take out a few more stoves next to it.
As dishes were put into clay pots or exploded with fragrance, a rich aroma filled the kitchen.
The two fragrant ones realized they couldn’t help, so they could only lie there sniffing hard.
Ning Yunyi waited for the rest of the dishes to stew in the pot, and started the live broadcast when it was about time.
Sure enough, many people discussed Marshal Zong’s matter today. He didn’t express opinions on undecided matters.
After all, there is no absolute in this world.
Before the body is found, what if this Marshal Zong also had a great opportunity and met a hiding high-level healer who saved him?
After the live broadcast and uploading the taste, Ning Yunyi closed the live broadcast.
At the same time, it was almost time for him and Big Brother Ning to agree.
The big cat and Ning Xiao Miao finally waited to help, immediately helping to serve dishes and bowls one by one.
Ning Yunyi’s wristband rang at this time. He glanced at it; it was Elder An.
He popped up the message, looked at it while walking to the dining table, and stopped subconsciously.
[Elder An: Mr. Bai, Zong Ling of the Zong family heard you bought the Ning family ancestral home. He just contacted me saying he wanted to meet you to discuss buying the Ning family ancestral home. The price is up to you.]
Ning Yunyi laughed in anger. Zong Ling? Buying the Ning family ancestral home?
Where did he get the face to buy it? What identity did he use to buy it?
[Bai Yan Yu: Not selling.]
[Elder An: He said he wanted to talk to you alone, promising he could grant you one thing. As long as the Zong family can do it, anything is fine.]
Ning Yunyi stood there looking at this sentence, eyes dark.
The big cat and the little meow cub stopped when passing by, looking over curiously.
The big cat also glanced, seeing the sentences displayed on the large screen, pupils erected.
Sure enough, the next moment Ning Yunyi sent a sentence.
[Bai Yan Yu: The Zong family can do it? He can represent the Zong family now? Marshal Zong just exposed an accident, and he covets the family head position. He doesn’t want to pretend anymore?]
[Elder An: Not long ago, the Zong family meeting, finally Zong family second elder won, pushing his son Zong Ling to the family head position. Afraid news will be announced soon.]
Elder An probably was also dissatisfied with the Zong family’s speed, not hiding for the Zong family at all.
The big cat didn’t know when to squat there,兽眸 (beast eyes) full of deep coldness, tail flicking one after another.
Ning Yunyi narrowed his eyes, wondering what he thought of, sneered, and quickly replied.
[Bai Yan Yu: Okay, push my contact information to Zong Ling. I’ll have a good talk with him.]
Ning Yunyi and the two arranged all the dishes, covering them all with insulation covers to keep warm.
He instructed the two, then went to a corner where the layout couldn’t be seen to add Zong Ling.
Zong Ling immediately popped up a video call.
Ning Yunyi looked at such an impatient Zong Ling and clicked connect.
Sure enough, the screen flickered; it was a familiar scene, exactly Mu Jiayi’s home.
There wasn’t one person in the screen, but two.
Mu Jiayi and Zong Ling.
It seems buying the Ning family ancestral home couldn’t do without Mu Jiayi’s instigation; otherwise, Zong Ling wouldn’t have thought of this.
Mu Jiayi first let Ning Second Uncle occupy the Ning family, now let Zong Ling buy the Ning family. He wouldn’t know the Ning family property wasn’t just these, wanting to buy it just to dig three feet to find it, right?
In the screen, Zong Ling looked at the bearded man who suddenly appeared, frowning: “Mr. Bai?”
Mu Jiayi smiled gently, but his eyes were scrutinizing this Mr. Bai who hooked up with the An family as soon as he came to the First Star.
Considering the other party’s background and net worth, whether it was worth his thought to make friends.
Ning Yunyi leaned lazily on the sofa, legs crossed, chin resting on one hand: “What? So what if I am, so what if I’m not?”
Zong Ling didn’t want to talk nonsense with him: “You name a price, I want to buy the Ning family ancestral home.”
Ning Yunyi shrugged: “This is strange. You husbands don’t stay in your luxury villa, what are you snatching the Ning family ancestral home with me for?”
Zong Ling’s face changed, looking at Mu Jiayi.
Mu Jiayi interjected: “It’s like this. We have some old friendship with the Ning family’s eldest branch second young master Ning Yunyi, the former owner of the Ning family. We don’t want the old friend’s ancestral home to fall into the hands of outsiders, so we want to buy it back at a high price. After all, when Ning Second Young Master comes back later, he will have a place to go.”
Ning Yunyi stared straight at Mu Jiayi, suddenly laughing.
He laughed strangely suddenly. Mu Jiayi frowned subconsciously.
Mu Jiayi barely suppressed his displeasure: “Why did Mr. Bai laugh suddenly? Is there anything wrong with what I said?”
Ning Yunyi still stared straight at Mu Jiayi. Those disguised emerald eyes seemed to see through people’s hearts. When not smiling, they inexplicably brought uneasy panic: “Mr. Mu said when Ning Second Young Master comes back later to have a good place to go. Isn’t this sentence funny? After all, Mr. Mu clearly knows Ning Second Young Master is dead, so how… can he come back?”
As soon as his words fell, the opposite side fell into a deathly silence.
Zong Ling finally recovered. Ignoring Mu Jiayi’s suddenly changed face, he stared at Ning Yunyi: “You said… who died?”
