Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 26

“When I first came to the place where the maid pointed, my mouth was covered and I was dragged deep into the forest.”

Hearing this, many of them took a breath. The next thing everyone could vaguely guess.

For a girl, this was an extremely shameful thing.

Ning Qing could speak frankly as if it was ordinary and there was nothing wrong with it.

Ning Yuanshan and Zhang Rulan spoke in unison, “Nonsense.”

Zhang Rulan panicked and covered Ning Qing’s mouth and prevented her daughter from continuing.

Ning Yuanshan even pointed at Ning Qing and said, “You scumbag. You have burnt other people’s forest, and you also try to shirk from your sins by framing others. You’re really bold. You said a set of lies. If you burned it, you admit your mistake, and leave the rest to Dad.”

He had always known that his daughter was naughty, but he never imagined that she would encounter such a thing. He blamed her for being naughty since childhood.

If he knew this would happen, he would listen to her explanation, rather than rashly forcing her to admit it.

As a father, he didn’t understand his daughter’s temperament.

Seeing Ning Qing looking at him stubbornly, Ning Yuanshan vaguely guessed that what his daughter said was not a child’s play. However, the news of her being kidnapped by the gangster and being ruined was huge.

Now, he must let her admit her mistake of just setting the fire in the forest which was much lighter than ruining her reputation.

He pushed Ning Qing to bow down but she shook her head stubbornly. She didn’t want to bow her head.

Ning Qing’s mouth was covered by Zhang Rulan. She was unable to speak, and could only shake her head desperately to protest.

The father and daughter had been stalemate, not willing to give up.

One insisted on admitting mistakes and protecting her reputation.

And one refused to bend down and bow till the end.

Of course Ning Qing guessed what her parents were worried about. But if she didn’t say it, how would she find the criminal? If she didn’t find the gangster, she would be still in danger.

Seeing that this matter was serious, Chen Wangxiang really wanted to hear what the girl wanted to say.

“Brother Ning, don’t force your child and listen to her. If what she told is just a joke, we will not care about it. There are only a few people here. I, Chen, promise that this would never come out and damage her reputation.”

Ning Yuanshan thought about it a little.

Now that Chen Wangxiang had guaranteed this, he released his hand on Ning Qing’s head.

Ning Qing broke free from Zhang Rulan, giving her parents a firm look.

Zhang Rulan knew that she had stopped her a little late. Chen Boren was self-righteous and may not believe in Ning Qing.

But they couldn’t hide from a shrewd person like Chen Wangxiang.

And the child was stubborn since she was small. She was like a big mountain, she wouldn’t move from her decision at all.

She just looked at Ning Qing in a panic, hoping that she would stop saying anything that would harm her reputation.

Ning Qing hurriedly said to Chen Wangxiang, “I wasn’t hurt. The gangster was going to hurt me. I took advantage of him not paying attention to me and climbed a tree. He couldn’t climb up. Then I jumped on the wall again to get rid of the gangster and at the same time I wanted to break the back path of the gangster. I burned the pile of firewood at the foot of the wall.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. What climbed the tree? What jumped on the wall? Was this something a storyteller could compile? She was a child, or a charming little girl, how was it possible?

Only Ning Yuanshan and Zhang Rulan believed that Ning Qing’s words were true. They were so ashamed that they didn’t know how to explain it to the Chen family.

Chen Boren couldn’t help it. He had already guessed the ending of the story, and he had to tell it out to show his talents in front of his father.

He sneered and said ironically, “Didn’t the gangster finally escape?”

Ning Qing was really speechless, and she glanced at him very politely.

She angrily wanted to slap him in rage, and decided not to look at him again.

“It’s just that I never thought that the firewood pile wasn’t a footpad, but of the grass not far away. It covered a big hole,” Ning Qing gestured the size of the hole with her hand.

“It should be the original dog hole, but it was covered by the waist-high grass. If you don’t believe me, you can go and see.”

“I saw just now that there was indeed a damaged area on the fence. That was not a dog hole. It was a hole made newly. And I heard that Miss Ning had an unrestrained temper.”

Chen Jili, who had been leaning against the door, slowly walked into the hall, stood beside his father Chen Wangxiang, opposite to Ning Qing. His eyes fell on the missing part of Ning Qing’s skirt.

Seeing him, Ning Qing smiled and said quickly, “Thank you! Thank you!”
