Ou Luoxi pinned the hand of the rash man, and he easily made him succ.u.mb to his force. That person felt immense pain, and his bones felt as if they had been cracked.
“Luoxi, let go of him,” Ning Qing said softly.
Ou Luoxi let go of that person’s hands and pushed him backwards. “Aiyo!” 7th Grandpa let out a shout, and the man who had a hurried character crashed directly into him. He was unable to avoid him in time, and he fell back.
“7th Grandpa…” The other elders quickly went forward and helped them back up. They looked at Ou Luoxi and said, “You… who are you?”
Ning Qing went forward and protected Ou Luoxi behind her. “He is my younger brother.”
The elders were angered, and they wanted to speak.
But Ning Qing quickly stuffed Little Young Master Lu into Ou Luoxi’s arms, and she loudly cried out, “Younger brother, it is perfect that you are here now! These people here want to bully both of us, mother and son. You carry Little Young Master Lu away. I will battle it out with these people. If I meet with an accident, you must definitely raise Little Young Master Lu, he is the only flesh and blood left in the Lu family…”
“Enough!” 7th Grandpa stood up. When he had fallen onto the floor just now, his b.u.t.t was almost split in half. He looked dishevelled and said, “Ning Qing, stop creating trouble already! The shareholders meeting today is cancelled. I will give you another six days!”
Ning Qing heard his words and withdrew her tears. She stood upright, and she returned her gaze to 7th Grandpa. She slowly donned a smile and asked, “Are you speaking honestly?”
The crowd: “…”
7th Grandpa was extremely furious as he glared with his eyes wide. He laughed coldly while he said, “Such a great Ning Qing. You stirring up such a great scene at the meeting room was to force us to give you another six days? You really deserve an Oscar.”
Ning Qing pa.s.sed Little Young Master Lu over to Yin Shuiling, and the butler pa.s.sed her a wet tissue. She wiped her tears and tidied her messy face. “7th Grandpa, thank you for your praise. You probably didn’t know, but I, Ning Qing, am actually a Best Actress already!”
Everyone present on scene: “You!”
Ning Qing threw the wet tissue into the rubbish bin, and her beautiful back was extremely straight. “7th Grandpa, every uncle present here, you need to stand by your words. Thank you for the six days. Over these 6 days, it is better to stay silent and lie low. If not, today will only be the start. I will let you all know that I, Ning Qing, am not someone who is easy to deal with.”
After she spoke, she walked out of the meeting room without bothering to wait for their reaction.
Ou Luoxi, Yin Shuiling, the butler, and the bodyguards left along with her.
The elders looked at the group of bodyguards following behind Ning Qing. They were flabbergasted, and the rashed man cursed saying, “This Ning Qing has brought along so many bodyguards, but when I pushed her just now, those bodyguards just stood and watched. Ning Qing must be doing this on purpose. She forced us to take action. Look at how she looked just now! She is totally a shrew!”
7th Grandpa waved his hands and said, “Forget it! What is the point of saying this now? Just now, she hit her head on the chair so forcefully, the blood that she shed was real. This woman is cruel towards herself, and even more cruel towards others. She is quick witted while being resilient. She is not someone easy to go against. Let us wait another six days. It will be the official annual general shareholders meeting. At that time, if Shaoming still doesn’t show up, let’s see what she would do then.”
“7th Grandpa, we will just let it go like this?”
“Then what else would you want to do? Can you look for Ning Qing to battle it out individually? Didn’t you learn something from the skills that youth had demonstrated just now?”
The man with a hurried personality took a step backwards, and his wrist was still in immense pain. The youth looked young and tender. He looked more beautiful than a girl, but his martial skills were incredible.
He did not dare.

Inside the luxury SUV
The butler carried Little Young Master Lu. Yin Shuiling opened the first aid box and took out a cotton swab to disinfect Ning Qing’s wounds.
“Siii…” Ning Qing’s entire face puckered up, and she could not help but say in pain, “Shui Ling, be more gentle! It hurts…”
“You know about pain now? What were you doing just now? You should take a mirror to look at your forehead. This injury looks so bad.” Yin Shuiling treated her wound while she gently blew on it. Her legs were soft when she looked at the wound; Ning Qing’s forehead was missing a piece of meat.
With one small hand, Ning Qing tugged Yin Shuiling’s s.h.i.+rt sleeve and snorted while she said,” This is also something that cannot be avoided. If I did not bleed, how would I have fooled them all?”
“Then if Ou Luoxi had not turned up, you wouldn’t have avoided that slap?”
“No, I wouldn’t have avoided it.” Ning Qing nodded her head.
“Ning Qing, you…” Yin Shuiling wanted to go crazy on the spot.
“Okay, Shuiling, I know that you pity me. But if they do not hit me, how could I have pressured them? How would we commence talks? These elders are all guilty. They would not allow me to stir up a fuss. It is merely one slap. When you are completing a huge task, you must accept the little things on the way. We will wait for Shaoming to return. He will definitely take revenge for me.”
The girl’s voice was crisp and melodious, and when her voice echoed inside the car, it was extremely attractive to the ear. The old butler and Ou Luoxi looked at Ning Qing upon hearing her words. In such difficult times like these, she was so positive and brave.
Yin Shuiling placed some gauze on her forehead, and Ning Qing stretched out her hand to receive Little Young Master Lu from the butler.
Little Young Master Lu had long stopped crying. His large, grape-like eyes were looking around vividly, and he was blowing milk bubbles non stop at the side of his small lips.
Ning Qing bent down her body and kissed her son’s small face. “Little Young Master Lu, were you shocked just now? Our Little Young Master Lu is the bravest! He accompanied Mama to the battlefield today.”
Yin Shuiling laughed coldly and said, “Ning Qing, this Little Young Master Lu is also bright. In the meeting room just now, he cried when we wanted him to. Now that you are not kicking up a fuss, he is also not crying.”
Ning Qing’s small, exquisite face had a gentle smile. “Yeah, Little Young Master Lu is great as expected… Daddy is not at home, and he already knows about how to cooperate with Mummy to protect this home,” she said with a sweet voice.
The old butler, who was seated in the front pa.s.senger’s seat, looked at Ning Qing through the rear view mirror. His eyes were full of polite admiration as he said, “Madam, that share transfer doc.u.ment involving the 51% of shares was fake. At that moment, I was afraid that those people would be able to see through it.”
Time was tight, and Lu Dinghua was also not at home. How would she be able to get the share transfer doc.u.ments in her hands? She could only make do with a fake copy.
Ning Qing channelled her gaze downwards to play with her son. She smiled as she said, “Butler, what are you scared of? There can never be too much deception in war. If there weren’t the share transfer doc.u.ments, there would have been no power in our hands. We would not have been able to accomplish what we wanted.”
“I see.” The butler nodded his head. He never saw the wrong person. This Madam was brave and had a strategy in her head. Young Master was not at home, and she was holding the reins in the Lu family, which made everyone feel at ease.
Ning Qing looked at Ou Luoxi who sat beside her. From the time he appeared until now, he did not say a single word, typical of his stuffy character.
“Luoxi, why did you rush over today?”
Ou Luoxi looked at Ning Qing. His clear eyes were bright, and although he had no expression on his face, his features were gentle. He said, “I had been overseas filming a drama, but I rushed over upon hearing the news. Sister-in-law, don’t worry, Second Older Brother has already lead the army and has left for Lake Baikal to look for Oldest Brother.”
These were the most words that Ou Luoxi said to her after they met one another. He spoke through his teeth and was rigid as usual. Ning Qing suspected that he did not communicate with anyone else outside filming, but she was comforted by his words.
Ning Qing’s eyes were bright. Lu Shaoming’s second younger brother Zhou Yao was the legend of the Commando Unit. That damp and wet rainforest had worried Ning Qing from the start regarding the safety of Lu Dinghua. With Zhou Yao leading his top squad, it made her feel more at ease.
“Luoxi, I am not worried. His allies are looking out for him, and we are waiting for him. I believe that Shaoming will return very soon.”
…
The luxury SUV sedan stopped in front of the Lu family villa. Everyone exited the vehicle, and Ning Qing ordered the butler, “Do not tell Mother what happened today, in case she gets worried.”
The butler hesitated for a few seconds, and he replied, “Yes, Madam.”
“Luoxi, you should stay at our house for the next few days. I will have the maids prepare a guest room for you.” Ning Qing looked towards Ou Luoxi.
Ou Luoxi nodded his head and said, “Okay.”
It was a period of turbulence now, and before Lu Shaoming came back, he would stay here to protect Ning Qing.
The group walked into the villa, and Song Yajing was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She saw Ning Qing return and immediately came forward to welcome her. “Qingqing, you are all back?”
“Yes, Mum.” Ning Qing curled her lips into a smile.
“Qingqing, what happened to your forehead? Did you get hurt?” Song Yajing noticed that there was a band aid on Ning Qin’s forehead, and she stretched out her hand to touch it.
“Sii…” N called out in pain and said, “Mum, its nothing. I fell accidentally when I was outside. My forehead hit the chair.”
Song Yajing had a worried expression on her face. “This girl. Why didn’t you watch where you were walking? Should I call the doctor over to have a look?” she asked with a displeased tone.
“There is no need for that Mum. It’s a small injury; it will heal quickly.”
“Is really a small injury? Qingqing, why does your face look so pale?” Song Yajing held Ning Qing’s small hand and continued, “Why are your hands so cold?”
Yin Shuiling glanced at Ning Qing. She hadn’t noticed before, but now, when she looked at Ning Qing, her face was pale like a white piece of paper. Even those thin green veins could be seen clearly.
“That’s right, Ning Qing, why is your face so pale?”
Ning Qing brought her small hand to her forehead. The wound was very very painful, and the pain made her feel faint. She replied, “It’s nothing, Mum and Shuiling. Maybe it’s because I have not been sleeping too well recently. I will go upstairs to sleep for a while. There is no need to call me for dinner.”
“Then go quickly, Qingqing. You have been barely out of the confinement period for a month. You still need to take care of your body.” Song Yajing addressed her seriously.
“Mum, I got it.”
Ning Qing went upstairs, and Song Yajing ordered the servants to brew some soup. Yin Shuiling rolled up her sleeves and said, “Aunt, there is no need for that. I will go brew some soup for Ning Qing to drink. Ning Qing always says that she wants sour and spicy lamb soup. Let Little Young Master Lu drink a little formula today, and allow Ning Qing to be stubborn once.”
“Sure, it has really been hard on this girl.” Song Yajing looked at Ning Qing’s back profile in pity, and she ordered the old butler. “Butler, what else are the old vultures up to? The seven day promise is up. I have been waiting for them for the entire day today. How come they did not come? This is weird.”
The old butler remembered Ning Qing’s command. He was in a dilemma, but he finally smiled and said, “Lady, those elders would not take any action for now. If we don’t take action, then they won’t. Lady can rest a.s.sured.”
Song Yajing was taken aback, and murmured puzzledly, “How could those old things let go of such a good chance? I was still worried that I would not be able to handle them. This is really a blessing from the heavens.”
The old butler lifted his gaze to look at the second floor. That was right; the heavens blessed the Lu family with such a Madam.
…
Ning Qing did not know how many days she had slept for. She was sleeping without knowing what was going on. When she was in a blur, she felt someone speaking beside her ear, “Qingqing, wake up. Shaoming is back!”
