SPTASPTO 70

Chapter – 70

“Mm.” An Jianqing smiled softly and nodded. A trace of happiness appeared in her eyes.

Ning Xun immediately frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, “I heard she’s just a normal Omega?”

An Jianqing nodded. The smile on her face did not fade.

From the moment she posted on Weibo, she already knew these people would investigate Su Ya as quickly as possible. So she was not surprised at all by Ning Xun’s question.

She also clearly understood what Ning Xun meant. She did not want her to be with an ordinary Omega.

In the end, these people still looked down on low-level differentiators.

Ning Xun’s expression darkened. When she entered the room and saw a strange figure, she acted as if she did not see her at all. She went straight to the sofa and sat down.

Aunt Lian immediately brought over a cup of tea.

Ning Xun reached out, picked up the teacup, and looked straight ahead. She had no intention of paying any attention to Su Ya.

Su Ya stood there and secretly glanced at An Jianqing, asking for her opinion.

“Xuechu, take Xiao Ya to my room,” An Jianqing said.

“Okay, Sister,” Ning Xuechu replied and glanced at Su Ya.

From Ning Xun’s attitude, it was obvious she disliked Su Ya. With these people opposing her, maybe Su Ya would back down when faced with the difficulty.

The two walked upstairs. Su Ya could not hold back her curiosity and looked downstairs. She happened to meet Ning Xun’s disgusted gaze.

Her heart jumped in shock. She quickly turned her head away. She roughly understood that at tonight’s banquet, she would definitely be looked down on.

Mr. and Mrs. Ning were gentle and kind, treating everyone equally. How could sisters born of the same mother be so different? Ning Xun clearly knew why she came tonight, yet she did not give her any face at all.

Su Ya was only glad that this was just an act. She did not care about these people’s attitudes or opinions at all.

If someone really wanted to marry An Jianqing, passing this group of relatives would be very difficult.

An Jianqing sat down, picked up the teacup beside her, and slowly took a sip.

She did not speak. She waited for Ning Xun to talk.

The living room fell silent for a moment. After finishing her tea, Ning Xun finally could not hold back. Half scolding, half advising, she said:

“Jianqing, you are an S-level Alpha. If you are with an ordinary Omega, once this spreads out, who knows how many people will laugh at you? You may not care, but have you thought about the company? The president of Ning Corporation liking an ordinary Omega—we cannot afford to lose this face.”

The last sentence carried undisguised anger.

An Jianqing listened quietly, her expression calm. She asked in return, “What if I insist on being with an ordinary Omega?”

When she said “ordinary Omega,” her heart tightened. For a brief moment, Ning Xuechu’s face flashed through her mind.

An Jianqing was startled and quickly took a sip of tea to calm herself.

Hearing this, Ning Xun angrily stood up and glared at her.

An Jianqing met her gaze firmly, without avoiding it.

They stared at each other for a while. Ning Xun sat down again and suppressed her anger.

“You are the president of Ning Corporation. You are destined not to act willfully for your own desires. Even if you want to get married, you should be like the Alpha from the Qiu family and find an Omega of equal status. What can she give you? She is useless to your career and to Ning Corporation.”

In the end, it was still because of Su Ya’s identity. She was of no use to Ning Corporation, so these people opposed her without sparing any effort.

An Jianqing lowered her eyes and silently sipped her tea.

She hated the idea of marriage being tied to利益. She did not want to spend her life with someone she did not love.

But in the eyes of the Ning family, her persistence and thoughts were nothing but a joke.

No one understood her. No one supported her.

She had already expected their reaction. But seeing the undisguised contempt in Ning Xun’s eyes still made her feel disappointed.

Before Ning Xuechu came to the Ning family, she and Ning Xun had been the closest. She had truly treated her like family and had taken care of her in many ways.

But at this moment, she understood that Ning Xun had only been good to her because she had never done anything that touched her interests.

Seeing An Jianqing remain silent and resist with her silence, Ning Xun felt both angry and anxious. She began to play the emotional card.

“When you first took over Ning Corporation, everyone opposed you. Only I believed in you and helped you step by step to stand firm. Everything I did was for your own good. I would never harm you. This time, just listen to me, okay?”

An Jianqing put down her teacup and smiled gently.

“Aunt, thank you very much for taking care of me in the past. This time, I hope you can continue to believe in me.”

Ning Xun was left speechless. After a moment of silence, she sat down and sighed.

She could not argue with An Jianqing, nor could she persuade her.

She had thought that by treating An Jianqing well, she could make her obedient and gain more benefits from it.

But An Jianqing’s temperament and willpower exceeded her expectations. She was not someone easy to control. She clearly separated public and private matters and had been secretly suppressing their influence.

The property of Ning Corporation should have belonged to them, yet it was handed over to an outsider to manage. She truly did not know what her elder brother had been thinking.

Ning Xuechu and Su Ya hid by the staircase and secretly watched the situation downstairs. They heard their conversation clearly.

Originally, Ning Xuechu was going to her room. But Su Ya refused to go in and insisted on hiding by the stairs.

Hearing what Ning Xun said, Ning Xuechu vaguely felt a sense of being trapped in a cage.

According to Ning Xun, An Jianqing’s marriage must be sacrificed for Ning Corporation. Everything had to prioritize the company. She could not act on her own will.

Or in other words, she must follow the principle that利益 came first.

Ning Xuechu did not oppose this principle. But in her heart, she did not want An Jianqing to become a victim under利益.

With An Jianqing’s personality, if she could not choose her own love and marriage, she would probably live in great pain.

“We should go in,” Su Ya gently pushed Ning Xuechu and pointed at the door, mouthing the words silently.

Ning Xuechu nodded.

The two quietly left without making a single sound.
