Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Restaurant’s Owner

"No... no... Mother is right." Ning Shoukai nodded.

They have a happy conversation. This scene had been watched by others. Not to mention, they misunderstood the whole situation.

They thought Ning Shoukai returned to compete for the heir and had received help from Black Moon. Some of them, might not know Lord Yueliang but some of them knew that Lord Yueliang was from Black Moon which appeared several years ago. Their leader was Lord Yueliang.

Then, Lord Yueliang appeared at their house with Ning Shoukai. It seemed Ning Shoukai already had support from Lord Yueliang. This made the other competitors feel flustered and nervous.

Ning Yongrui also looked at Ning Shoukai’s table. He really did not expect to see Lord Yueliang. Her grandson had become friends with Lord Yueliang. His thoughts toward Ning Shoukai became deeper.

"Father, is it a good time to announce what we discussed earlier since everyone is here?" Ning Shoukai mentioned the thing that he and his parent talked about earlier.

"You want to announce it now?" Ning Zhaofeng was surprised.

"Yes, the sooner, the better." Ning Shoukai stated.

Ning Zhaofeng thought about that. What his son stated was right. It would have been better if they announced it sooner.

"Well, it is up to you. I don’t mind." Ning Zhaofeng said.

Ning Shoukai nodded. Then, he stood up.

"Well, can I get everyone’s attention?" Ning Shoukai said.

Everyone turned to Ning Shoukai. Ning Yongrui wondered what Ning Shoukai wanted to say at this time. Ning Jianguo also narrowed his eyes looking at Ning Shoukai.

"There is something that I want to say." Ning Shoukai took a deep breath before continuing, "I would like to withdraw from the heir competition. I don’t want to compete and I don’t want to be an heir."

This announcement instantly made people talk. Ning Yongrui was shocked. As well as Ning Jianguo. Ning Ning Jianguo did not think that Ning Shoukai would announce something like that.

"Shoukai, what are you talking about?" Ning Yongrui asked.

Ning Yongrui felt that Ning Shoukai was the one who going to win the competition because he was the stronger among his grandsons. Ning Shoukai also had been selected to go to Tianlong School. And now, his grandson announced this.

"Grandfather, I don’t wish to be the heir." Ning Shoukai stated.

"Then, what are you going to do?" Ning Yongrui was flustered.

"I want to be a restaurant owner." Ning Shoukai stated.

Someone burst into laughter when he heard it. Ning Huizhong closed his mouth with his hands when he realized it.

"What is so funny about that?" Ning Zhaofeng asked Ning Huizhong.

"Fourth Brother, I am sorry on my son’s behalf but you should talk to your son about that. Restaurant’s owner? Fourth Brother, you can not be serious?" Ning Donghai interrupted.

"Enough, let’s finish eating first. Zhaofeng, Shoukai, come to my study room later." Ning Yongrui ended the fight which did not start yet.

The dinner continued. A lot of questions played in their minds but they did not dare to talk about it.

Ning Shoukai’s table did not get affected. Ning Shoukai was busy introducing the dish to Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng listened to that intensely. She learned a lot of new dishes from Ning Shoukai.

The dinner ended. Even though Ning Yongrui called wanting to see Ning Zhaofeng and Ning Shoukai after dinner, they did not go there immediately. They sent Ruan Chu first to her courtyard.

"I will accompany your mother. You can go and see your grandfather." Bai Xifeng said.

She also had something to say to Ruan Chu. Well, it was about the illness that Ruan Chu had.

Ning Zhaofeng was surprised by Bai Xifeng’s suggestion. To be honest, he was not feeling good to leave his wife with this young man.

Ruan Chu noticed Ning Zhaofeng’s concern. She smiled and nodded to him.

"Don’t worry too much. I have maids here." Ruan Chu stated.

Reluctantly, Ning Zhaofeng pulled his son to go and see his father.

Ruan Chu asked the maid to prepare the tea.

"Sir Bai, Lord Yueliang, please sit down." Ruan Chu invited them.

Bai Xifeng pulled Liu Longwei and sat down feeling embarrassed.

"What do you want to talk about?" Ruan Chu asked gently.

"Oh, you notice it?" Bai Xifeng smiled.

"Yes, I just assume." Ruan Chu said.

"May I know about your illness?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"So, you notice it too." Ruan Chu said.

"Well, even though you hide your pale face with the make-up, I noticed that you are very weak." Bai Xifeng stated.

"So, even the outsiders also noticed it? It seems I can not hide it anymore." Ruan Chu sighed.

"Have you sought a pharmacist to check your body?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"I do. But no one knows about this illness." Ruan Chu said.

"If Madam Ruan does not mind, let me take your pulse?" Bai Xifeng asked.

Ruan Chu was surprised. "Sir Bai, are you a pharmacist? Wait, but I remember that Shoukai said you are Ascentor Rank Array Master."

"Well, I am but why can’t I also be a pharmacist?" Bai Xifeng grinned.

Ruan Chu was stunned for a moment and let out a small laugh. "Yes. But I never thought there would be someone who could do it."

"I just want to check it. I still don’t know if I can cure you or not." Bai Xifeng did not want to disappoint Ruan Chu.
