116 Chapter 116 Xia Ningyan's bargaining chip, Shi jue's compromise

Shi Jue's blood boiled whenever he thought about Xia Ningyan living in his house with his mother.

He wished he could ignore his mother's wishes and strangle Xia Ningyan to death.

It was already midnight.

Shi Jue had gotten home.

He went to his room and entered the bathroom to take a hot shower.

Suddenly, Shi Jue's bedroom door opened. A figure then slowly walked in.

Shi Jue was only wearing a towel around his waist as he stepped out of the shower. He wiped his hair as he walked out of the bathroom.

Sensing the aura of a stranger, Shi Jue swept his gaze coldly across the room. His gaze then met Xia Ningyan's beautiful eyes. Immediately, Shi Jue's face darkened. "Who let you in? Get out!" Shi Jue said with a cold bone-piercing tone.

Xia Ningyan was holding teacup when she entered Shi Jue's room. Despite Shi Jue's reaction, she acted as if she did not hear him. Instead of leaving the room, she continued to approach him. "I want to talk to you."

Suddenly, Shi Jue laughed coldly.

His gaze was filled with disdain as he looked at Xia Ningyan. "You're not worthy enough to talk to me!"

Xia Ningyan lowered her eyes after hearing Shi Jue's response. Suddenly, she raised her head again and smiled. "I know you don't want to see me, and I know you hate me. You don't have to say anything. You just have to listen to what I have to say. It won't take long."

Suddenly, Shi Jue felt disgusted.

He walked over to the closet and opened it. He immediately took out a nightgown and got dressed.

He felt uncomfortable as Xia Ningyan watched him get dressed.

Xia Ningyan maintained a smile on her face.

She kept watching Shi Jue.

Shi Jue had no idea what Xia Ningyan was thinking of.

However, he knew that she was up to something.

Shi Jue glanced at Xia Ningyan after putting on his nightgown.

"I know that you don't like me. That's fine. However, you can't ignore my child. He's still your son! I will leave your house, but you must promise to treat him well," Xia Ningyan said.

A strange smile formed on Shi Jue's face. Hearing the word "child" had an unusual effect on him.

He knew in his heart that Xia Ningyan's child was not his son.

"You have no right to make demands!" Shi Jue's tone was not polite at all.

"I..." Xia Ningyan was speechless. Suddenly, she looked straight into Shi Jue's eyes. "I have news about Xia Weiyang's mother."

Xia Ningyan considered the news about Xia Weiyang's mother as her bargaining chip. "I know that you like my sister, but she is not a real member of our family. She is my father's illegitimate daughter. She knows about this. She has been trying to find her real mother."

"You better not lie to me!" Shi Jue's eyes stared straight at Xia Ningyan.

"If you think I'm lying, then don't believe me," Xia Ningyan shrugged and said indifferently.

"Xia Ningyan, don't push your luck," Shi Jue responded.

"I'm telling the truth. I just hope that you'll let me stay in your house a little longer. I can't leave yet," Xia Ningyan said. Then, after seeing the frown on Shi Jue's face, Xia Ningyan smiled. "I'm sure your mother will be more than happy to let me live in this house for a long time."

Shi Jue wanted to strangle her to death after hearing her words.

"Don't be mad. I'll leave eventually. Once I leave, I'll tell you everything I know about Xia Weiyang," Xia Ningyan said as she placed the teacup in her hand on a table.

"By the way, I made this tea just for you. You don't have to drink it if you don't like it. It's getting late. Good night, young master Shi Jue." Xia Ningyan then left Shi Jue's room.
