Chapter 716: Fainted
To Ning Zhe, a woman had to bring him benefits like Zhuang Yi or give him a son like Su Tong. Other than that, he had no use for them.
If Ning Dong married the Young Miss of the Yin family, it would definitely be beneficial to the Ning family’s future.
Currently, the major source of his headache was Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual. The most important thing was to find a way to get his wretched daughter to hand over the embroidery manual.

He thought everything would go smoothly after his daughter changed so drastically. Unexpectedly, she was a fake. Not only did his fake daughter fail to obtain the manual, but his old affairs were also exposed, causing his reputation to plummet to the ground. In the end, he ended up in a lose-lose situation.
As for the real Ning Xia, she was still the same as before; there was no change at all. In the end, he felt like he was too hopeful. That wretched girl was as stubborn as her mother; they would not be swayed by force and persuasion. He had to consider this matter from a long-term perspective. If it was necessary, he would resort to extreme measures.
Ning Zhe felt slightly tired. He wanted to walk a little to relax, but as soon as he rose to his feet, his vision turned black, and he fell to the ground.

…
When Ning Zhe regained consciousness, the first thing he saw was a white ceiling.
‘Am I in the hospital?’
“Master is awake!” Ning Chun exclaimed.
“Hubby…” Su Tong sobbed and rushed over.
Ning Zhe turned slightly and looked at the others, perplexed. He asked Ning Chun, “What happened?”
Before Ning Chun could reply, Su Tong quickly said, “I went to the study to bring you a pot of tea. That’s when I saw you lying on the ground. You really scared me to death! You’ve been unconscious for a day and a night!”
Su Tong’s expression was one of sorrow.
...
Ning Zhe looked at Ning Chun and asked, “What did the doctor say?”
Ning Zhe only trusted Ning Chun. As for Su Tong, he did not trust her at all.
Ning Chun quickly replied, “The doctor said you’re over-exhausted, and your blood sugar level was low. You need to rest and make sure you don’t overexert yourself. After this, he’ll give you a comprehensive physical examination. Just treat this time as a time to rest.”
Ning Zhe nodded slowly. He felt this was too sudden.
Meanwhile, Su Tong gnashed her teeth in anger when she saw Ning Zhe ignoring her and only speaking to Ning Chun. After she suppressed her anger, she finally asked, “Hubby, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll tell Ning Chun to buy it for you. Ning Dong has gone to school. He’ll come back to accompany you after his cla.s.ses are over.”
In Su Tong’s opinion, this was the best time for Ning Dong to perform. After all, Ning Zhe’s real daughter disliked him while his fake daughter was imprisoned. There was only Ning Dong now.

Ning Zhe shook his head gently. “I’m not hungry. Ning Chun, send Madam home. I’m fine. I’m just a little tired. There’s no need to accompany me here.”
Ning Chun nodded.
However, Su Tong said hastily, “It’s fine. Hubby, I’ll stay here with you!”
Ning Zhe forced a smile on his face and said, “Right now, the most important thing for you is to settle Ning Dong’s marriage. I’ve gotten someone to investigate the Yin family. They’re indeed the most suitable family. No matter what, you have to deal with this matter well.”
Su Tong was shocked. She looked at Ning Zhe with her mouth agape. She did not expect him to easily agree to Ning Dong settling down with the Young Miss of the Yin family. She felt as though the sun had risen from the west at this moment. It seemed like she was right; the Young Miss of the Yin family was a very suitable candidate.
How could Ning Zhe not understand Su Tong’s thoughts? He said with a smile, “Ning Dong is our only son. His marriage is of great importance. You must not be careless. Make sure to handle this matter well. You also have to explain to our son clearly the pros and cons of this relations.h.i.+p. Make sure he doesn’t act like a child or act insensibly at the critical moment.”
Su Tong hurriedly said, “He won’t! Ning Dong definitely won’t act like that!”
