Chapter 168

Outside the hospital room.

Through a pane of glass, Ning Xi looked at Ning Ru, who lay on the hospital bed in a vegetative state.

The doctor said Ning Ru would most likely never wake up again in this lifetime.

At this point, there was no longer any way to prove whether the babies had been switched by accident back then, or whether Ning Ru had deliberately swapped them herself.

Only now, Ning Ru would spend the rest of her life as a vegetable. After Ning Mingyue was resuscitated, she had remained depressed and withdrawn, and when she learned she was not the Ning Family’s biological daughter, she simply swept up all the assets she had accumulated in the Ning Family and disappeared.

From beginning to end, she had never cared about Ning Ru, her biological mother who still lay in a hospital bed.

It was enough to make one sigh.

…

Beep, beep.

Ning Xi’s phone lit up.

It was a message of concern from Madam Ning, along with Father Ning’s share transfer agreement.

Back then, Father Ning had been willing to make Ning Xi a stepping stone for Ning Mingyue. Now that he had discovered Ning Xi was his biological daughter, in order to apologize and win his daughter back, he had simply transferred all the Shengshi Entertainment shares he held to Ning Xi.

And just like that, Ning Xi easily became a filthy-rich woman worth billions.

A few days ago, she had only been running her mouth about supporting Xie Lanchen. Now, with the money in her hands, she could probably really afford to support Xie Lanchen.

Looking at the countless zeroes behind the number in her bank account, Ning Xi began making devout wishes.

“May this faithful woman win a hundred million in the lottery tomorrow.”

“No, wait. I want to win a billion!”

And so, Xie Lanchen watched helplessly from the side as Ning Xi’s wish went from a hundred million to a billion, then to ten billion, and showed signs of becoming even more absurd. “…”

Then he silently began calculating in his heart how much his savings, fixed assets, and various equity holdings were worth.

Thankfully, they could cover Ning Xi’s wishes.

“Ahhh! Why is it still so annoying even after getting rich?!”

With a wail, Ning Xi flopped straight onto Xie Lanchen’s lap, looking utterly devoid of the will to live.

The two of them were currently on a date at Xie Lanchen’s villa.

During this period, Father Ning, Madam Ning, and the Ning Family’s relatives had been going to Ning Xi’s apartment every day to fuss over her. Ning Xi had simply hidden herself away at Xie Lanchen’s place.

“Hahahahahahahaha!” The very next second after saying that, Ning Xi couldn’t help bursting into laughter again.

Who would have thought there would come a day when she could say something like that!

With such a bright financial future ahead of her, even if she was troubled, she would still end up laughing, right?!

Xie Lanchen had already completely adapted to Ning Xi’s ever-changing emotions, and only smiled beside her.

But Ning Xi noticed it with her sharp eyes. “What are you laughing at? Your girlfriend is so troubled, and you can still laugh?!”

Her tone was heartrending enough to move anyone to tears, as if she were a poor girl betrayed by a scumbag.

Xie Lanchen quickly raised his hands in surrender. “I wasn’t laughing at you. I was laughing at the movie.”

Of course Ning Xi didn’t buy it.

She sprang up with a glute bridge and began making trouble all over Xie Lanchen, tickling him everywhere.

“You think I’ll believe that? Xie Lanchen, today I’m going to show you what color looks like!”

As the two of them messed around, their breathing gradually grew uneven.

Ning Xi also ended up sitting fully in Xie Lanchen’s lap.

Xie Lanchen’s gaze darkened slightly.

The next second-

Ning Xi somehow produced a small bouquet of pink roses out of nowhere.

“Today, I’ll start by showing you a little pink.”

“Xie Lanchen, happy birthday!”

Xie Lanchen looked at the delicate, vibrant pink flowers in front of him, clearly stunned.

Ning Xi, however, grinned.

She had already learned from Luo Ze that today was Xie Lanchen’s birthday.

The whole scene she had deliberately stirred up just now was all to set up her pink rose surprise.

When she said she wanted to support Xie Lanchen, those weren’t just empty words.

“Well? Do you like them? It’s not just roses, you know. There are other gifts too. Hurry and guess. I’ll only take them out if you guess right…”
