Chapter 630: Chapter 628: Slapping the Face_1

Mad Uncle’s hoarse voice was filled with gratitude, "I really thank you all!"

"There’s no need for politeness." Everyone shook their heads.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Xia Ning had intended to tell all of the Ning Family about Xia Ningxing’s return and to capture Ning Jian and his people.

But unexpectedly...

At the morning meeting, Ning Jian’s faction couldn’t wait to propose, "Clan leader Xia has been dead for a few days now, and the funeral is over. The most important thing at the moment is to elect a new Family Head as soon as possible, after all, a country cannot be without a king for a day, nor a family without a head for a day!"

"His Third Uncle is right."

"I agree as well."

The words that Mrs. Xia Ning was about to say suddenly choked in her throat, and she sneered inwardly, then asked slyly without showing any emotion, "Then who do you think is qualified to be the Family Head?"

People from Ning Jian’s faction immediately answered, "I think Ning Mo is very suitable, and she also came in second in the last Head of the Family election, so it makes sense both emotionally and logically that she is now the most appropriate candidate."

"Mo’er is indeed a good girl, she has been talented in medical studies since she was young, kind and modest; she seems capable of assuming the position of Family Head."

"Isn’t that so, we’ve watched Mo’er grow up."

"Big brother, do you think your daughter is suitable for the position of Family Head?" Mrs. Xia Ning suddenly looked at Ning Jian with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Meeting her gaze, Ning Jian uncontrollably felt a jolt of guilt, but he quickly recovered, saying humbly, "Mo’er is my daughter, and for me to speak for her could be seen as partial bias, it would be better to let the Ning Family’s elders decide."

After all, many people present had been won over by him.

He wasn’t worried.

"So, who among you supports Ning Mo’s election as the new Family Head?" Mrs. Xia Ning raised her eyebrows, asking.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Apart from Ning Jian’s faction, quite a number of people also raised their hands; overall, those in favor of Ning Mo as the Family Head were indeed in the majority.

Seeing this situation, Ning Jian’s eyes nearly popped out with joy.

Mrs. Xia Ning indifferently swept her gaze over those who had raised their hands, quietly taking note of them.

"Since most of you choose Ning Mo, then let’s do it according to your wishes..." Mrs. Xia Ning sounded as if she couldn’t argue with them, sighing seemingly helplessly.

However, if one looked closely, they would see that her eyes were filled with coldness.

Hah!

She really wanted to see how this Ning Mo would ascend to the position with her daughter safe and sound!

She might as well ascend to heaven!

"We greet the new Family Head!"

"Long life to the Family Head!"

Many people had already started obsequiously greeting Ning Mo who stood to the side.

On the surface, Ning Mo appeared to be terrified and astounded, but deep down, she was already overjoyed.

She had become the Ning Family Head!

She really had!

This couldn’t be a dream, could it?

Ning Mo swallowed nervously, truly scared, so she quickly pinched herself in secret, pain!

This wasn’t a dream!

She was ecstatic, the villain within her heart was about to crow with delight.

"You may, you may dispense with the formalities, there’s no need for everyone to be so courteous..." Ning Mo tried her hardest to contain her excitement, but her voice still stumbled a bit.

"Many thanks to the fa... "

The last word hadn’t been fully uttered when an unexpected voice interrupted.

"Your family head isn’t dead yet, and you’re already acknowledging a new leader?" Xia Ningxing’s teasing voice came in.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone immediately shuddered.

Isn’t that Xia Ningxing’s voice?

But she was supposed to be dead!

The atmosphere in the meeting room froze instantly, and everyone suddenly felt a chill down their spines as if a strange and icy wind kept blowing on them.

Those with more courage couldn’t help but turn around, and when it was indeed Xia Ningxing, they shook with fear.

Especially Ning Jian, who was the most guilt-ridden. His legs gave out and he fell to the ground, his eyes wide with terror as he stared at Xia Ningxing: "You... are you... human or ghost?"

"Whether I am human or ghost, you should know better than anyone else, right?" Xia Ningxing suddenly laughed ominously.

Her laugh was eerie, and as she laughed, she floated toward them, seemingly gliding through the air, though it was just a kind of dance step.

Plus, her loose long hair and her unnaturally pale and frightful skin... utterly terrifying!

Ning Jian immediately thought that it really was Xia Ningxing coming to claim his life, and he became so frightened that he instinctively backed away, his forehead covered in cold sweat, starting to scream pleadingly, "It has nothing to do with me, don’t come to me, I didn’t..." harm you.

Before he could finish, Ning Mo immediately snapped, "Dad! Calm down! There are no ghosts in broad daylight!"

Ning Jian then came to his senses.

Yeah, how could there be ghosts in broad daylight?

And look, Xia Ningxing even has a shadow on the ground!

If she were really a spirit, how could she possibly have a shadow!

Realizing this, Ning Jian quickly cut off his own words, a surge of retrospective fear filled him. He had almost confessed to everything he had done!

Thank goodness, he had stopped himself in time!

Seeing this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but slightly raise her eyebrows. She had originally planned to scare him into confessing the truth, but it didn’t matter even if it hadn’t worked out that way.

However...

"Uncle Jian, why are you so scared? People who don’t know any better might think it was you who set the fire that ’killed’ me!" Xia Ningxing deliberately frightened him.

"Nonsense!" Ning Jian, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, bristled in an instant, both alarmed and annoyed.

Xia Ningxing looked amused but didn’t bother with him any further.

She then stopped in the center of the room, looking at everyone with a seemingly amused gaze.

Someone swallowed hard, unable to believe that the person who was supposed to be dead was now standing right in front of them, and couldn’t help but subconsciously ask, "Family Head, you’re not dead?"

The others also stared at Xia Ningxing eagerly, waiting for her answer, wanting to know if she was dead or alive.

"I didn’t die, what a pity. I’m sorry to disappoint you," Xia Ningxing replied smilingly, looking like a naive young girl on the surface, but everyone could hear the malice in her tone.

Upon hearing her response, that person almost cried, "What are you saying, Family Head? I would be overjoyed that you’re okay, how could I possibly be disappointed!"

"Is that so? I saw how earnestly you were demanding a new family head; I thought you had some complaints against me!" Xia Ningxing folded her arms.

The man was terrified, "No, no, really not, I just thought something truly happened to the Family Head, and for the sake of the Ning Family having a leader, that’s why I was so eager, please understand, Family Head!"

Xia Ningxing shrugged, not bothering to pay him any more attention.

"Master!" Xia Ningxing came up to Mrs. Xia Ning.

Mrs. Xia Ning gently patted her shoulder.

Seeing Mrs. Xia Ning’s calm demeanor, Ning Mo immediately understood.

Her aunt had known all along that Xia Ningxing wasn’t dead, but she had spoken in front of everyone just now, clearly doing it to embarrass her.
