Chapter 430: Chapter 430: I Support You

Hearing about the delicious food, Bai Xifeng immediately agreed to go with Ning Shoukai. So, they went to Ning Shoukai’s house. It seemed Ning Shoukai came from a rich family. His house was so big. It was bigger compared to Bai Xifeng’s house.

"Oh... It is the fourth young master. Welcome home." The servant said.

"Where is my grandfather? I want to greet him first." Ning Shoukai said.

"Old Master is in his study room. He is with someone else. I think you should greet him later." The servant said.

Ning Shoukai noticed something. It seemed the person was an important guest to his grandfather.

"I understand." Ning Shoukai nodded.

"By the way, Fourth Young Master, who are these people?" The servant’s eyes glanced at the two people behind Ning Shoukai.

One was dressing in azure clothes. He looked outstanding. His features were amazing. The servant thought he looked handsome and beautiful at the same time. As for another one, he looked like someone who usually sat in power. One stare from the masked man could make people tremble. That was his honest opinion about the two people behind his Fourth Young Master.

"They are my saviour. Treat them with respect." Ning Shoukai said.

"Yes, Fourth Young Master." The servant nodded.

"Arrange their rooms next to my room." Ning Shoukai ordered again.

Ning Shoukai turned to Bai Xifeng and Liu Longwei. "Sir Bai, Lord Yueliang, please follow this servant first. I want to go and greet my parent first."

"Sure. No problem." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Bai Xifeng understood. Ning Shoukai was studying aboard. This must be his first time coming home.

"Treat them with respect." Ning Shoukai told the servant once again.

"Yes, Fourth Young Master." The servant nodded.

It seemed these people were important people to Fourth Young Master. He did not dare to offend them.

"Sir Bai, Lord Yueliang, please follow me." The servant said.

The servant thought ’Lord Yueliang’ was a familiar name but he did not dare to ask anything. He brought Bai Xifeng and Liu Longwei to a courtyard. Apparently, this courtyard was Ning Shoukai’s courtyard. This courtyard was more exquisite than Bai Xifeng’s courtyard. Bai Xifeng suddenly felt ashamed as a young lady.

"Sir Bai, Lord Yueliang, these two rooms are yours. Is there anything else that you want to request?" The servant asked.

"No... Not for now." Bai Xifeng shook her head.

"If you want anything, you can call someone in this courtyard and tell them." The servant stated.

"Sure." Bai Xifeng replied.

....

Ning Shoukai went to his mother’s courtyard. He saw his mother’s maidservant.

"Is my parent inside?" Ning Shoukai asked.

"Yes, Fourth Young Master." Ning Shoukai said.

"Can you ask my parent if I can see them?" Ning Shoukai asked.

The maidservant nodded and went inside. After that, the maidservant came out again and told Ning Shoukai that he could enter.

"Shoukai..." A weak voice called Ning Shoukai’s name.

Ning Shoukai rushed over and held his mother.

"Mother, don’t stand up." Ning Shoukai said.

"My son, you are back..." Ning Shoukai’s mother, Ruan Chu smiled as she held Ning Shoukai’s cheek.

"Yes, Grandfather asked me to return home." Ning Shoukai said.

"Zhaofeng, why does your father ask my son to return home?’ Ruan Chu asked her husband who stood beside her.

Ning Zhaofeng was Ning Shoukai’s father had a bitter expression.

"Chuchu, how could you forget your husband who sit beside you after seeing your son?" Ning Zhaofeng looked at his wife.

Ruan Chu stared at her husband with narrowed eyes. Ning Zhaofeng coughed to clear his throat.

"Tell your mother why your Grandfather asks you to come home." Ning Zhaofeng pushed his son to answer the question. He made signals to his son to help him out.

Ning Shoukai was used in this situation. He turned to his mother. "Mother, Grandfather asked me to come back because of succession. He wants me to compete to be the heir."

"Succession? Your grandfather is..." Ruan Chu looked at her husband.

"I don’t know." Ning Zhaofeng shook his hand.

"Shoukai... Are you..." Ruan Chu was worried about her son.

It would be dangerous for her son if he joined the succession.

"Mother... I will reject it." Ning Shoukai said firmly.

"What?" Both Ning Zhaofeng and Ruan Chu were surprised to hear the answer coming out from Ning Shoukai’s mouth.

"I meet someone on the way home. He told me that being a family patriarch is a burden and it holds a huge responsibility." Ning Shoukai stated.

Ning Zhaofeng and Ruan Chu agreed with that statement.

"I don’t think I can make it through. So, I will relinquish my right as the competitor." Ning Shoukai announced to his parent.

Ruan Chu pulled Ning Shoukai’s hands. She looked at her son’s eyes.

"Are you sure you want to relinquish your right as a competitor?" Ruan Chu asked.

"Mother, I don’t want to be patriarch." Ning Shoukai looked straight into his mother’s eyes.

Seeing her son firmly state that Ruan Chu smiled.

"If that’s what you want, Mother will support you." Ruan Chu patted her son’s head.

"But will Father accept that?" Ning Zhaofeng interrupted at a good time.

Ruan Chu looked at her husband. "Then, it is your job to convince your father. My son does not want to be the heir. Well, I don’t worry much about that since Father had a lot of grandsons that he could choose."
