"My biological daughter is suffering, and you two siblings are just trying to push your luck! Hmm? You ingrates!" Ning Tang's words were cold and vicious.
He had only chosen to tolerate Ning Tangxi and Ning Zongxuan because of Zhang Yuan.
After finding out that they were not his biological children, his fatherly heart had already been reduced by half. Now that he knew that Ning Tangxi had dared to make things difficult for Gu Ruochu, he could no longer hide his hatred towards his adopted children.
"Dad, are you willing to abandon us just because you found your real daughter?"
"Yes. I don't want you! My daughter has already suffered enough in the outside world. You clearly are not satisfied with her suffering since you also want to bully her."
Ning Zongxuan's face turned pale, and he did not utter another word.
Ning Tang had reacted differently from Zhang Yuan. He did not care about the twenty years they had spent together.
Ning Zongxuan and Ning Tangxi had overestimated their position in their father's heart.
Li Tezhu did not care about the Ning family's affairs. He instructed the bodyguards to leave the premises.
"Chairman Ning, since there's nothing else, I'll take the child to the Huo family home."
Ning Tangxi stormed towards Li Tezhu like she had gone mad. "Let go of my Cheng Xi. Give him back to me."
"You're not worthy of being Cheng Xi's mother!" Ning Tang grabbed Ning Tangxi's wrist and glared at her. "Get lost! Get the hell out of my sight!"
"Father, do you really not want me anymore?"
Ning Tangxi fell to the ground when she saw Ning Tang's cold gaze. She crawled to his side and tugged at his trouser leg. "Father, are you going to chase me out for a daughter who you didn't even like in the first place. My surname is Ning, and I will be your daughter for the rest of my life. I will also inherit the Ning family's business and assets. Father, our twenty years together cannot be compared to Gu Ruochu's sudden appearance in your life."
Ning Tang kicked her aside and scoffed coldly, "You bastard!
"You will never inherit my assets," Ning Tang roared. "If Ruochu is not willing to acknowledge me, I would rather hand over the company to someone with a different surname, or donate my assets to the orphanage, than let you two ingrates inherit them! You are not my biological children, what right do you have to do whatever you want in front of me?"
"Ah!"
Ning Tangxi screamed out in agony. Ning Tang's words were like a basin of ice water splashing on her face.
"Ning Tang..."
"Bring my wife upstairs." Ning Tang did not look at Zhang Yuan as he barked out his order to the servants. The servants had no choice but to forcefully drag Zhang Yuan up the stairs. The other servants restrained Ning Tangxi from going after her parents.
Ning Tangxi was stunned. She had not expected to lose her son and her parents on the same day.
"Dad, please forgive me. I was wrong!" Ning Tangxi cried out. "I won't dare to make things difficult for my sister anymore. I'm your daughter, and I won't leave this house. Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone to cause trouble for Ruochu."
Ning Tangxi's face was wet with tears. However, when Ning Tang looked at her, there was no tenderness in his eyes.
Apart from Zhang Yuan and Gu Ruochu, he did not have a soft heart for anyone else.
Before he left, he looked at Ning Tangxi and said, "I don't want to find you here when I come back!"
"Dad! Where are you going?" Ning Tangxi shouted. She got up and went after him with tears streaming down her face. "You can't chase me away!"
She was terrified. She had never thought that her father would react in such a cruel manner.
Ning Tangxi wasn't the only one who was scared. Zhang Yuan and Ning Zongxuan trembled in fear. Ning Tang's dark face made all of them feel uneasy.
