On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 180: Yuan Ning

"Mom, did you know how it happened?" Aria asked with a concerned look in her eyes.

After returning from visiting Mei Hua, the girls returned to Chen Ying room.

Mei Hua's condition was better than they had expected. She was still unconscious, though still weak, and her condition was getting better.

There was no danger to her life, and she would be back on her feet after a few more days of rest.

Aria's and the girl's concern for Mei Hua had started to ease, knowing that she was on the road to recovery.

However, there was still a lingering curiosity about how the accident happened.

Aria turned to her mom, hoping to find some answers and understanding behind the incident.

Aria's question hung in the air, and her mother sighed before answering.

"Yes, sweetheart, I have an idea of how it happened, but let's just take comfort in the fact that Mei Hua is going to be okay," her mother replied gently.

Chen Ying wasn't that stupid to not figure out that what happened to her was a ploy by someone who wanted to harm her. She couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal.

The accident happened just when she left the company after meeting with the board of directors.

As Chen Ying replayed the events in her mind, she couldn't shake off the feeling that someone within the company was responsible for the incident.

She knew she had enemies, but she never expected them to plan to kill her.

In the end, she decided to keep her daughters out of her problems, but she vowed that after leaving the hospital, she would take her revenge on those who had plotted against her.

She wasn't known as the snake queen for nothing.

Chen Ying had spent years climbing the corporate ladder, making enemies along the way with her ruthless tactics and cunning strategies.

It seemed that her cutthroat nature had finally caught up with her, leaving her fighting for her life in the hospital. However, Chen Ying was not one to back down easily.

She had always believed in the saying, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." And now, it was time for her enemies to learn the true meaning of fear as she planned her calculated revenge.

Chen Ying was completely unaware that karma had already taken care of her enemies; now all her enemies were either burned or fucked to death (literally), sparing her the burden of seeking revenge herself.

Aria nodded, sensing her mother's reluctance to discuss the details.

"Did you get any calls from Chen Tian yet?" Chen Ying asked with worry in her voice.

"No, I haven't heard from him," Aria's mother replied. Her voice was also filled with concern.

"Aunt, don't worry, I just received a message from him; he said he was on his way here." Emilia assured them, holding her phone.

She had just received a message from Chen Tian telling her that he was coming.

Aria and her mother exchanged relieved glances, grateful for the news.

Emilia's message brought a sense of comfort for both women.

But Aria frowned inwardly and didn't let it show on her face.

'Why didn't he contact me?' Aria thought to herself, feeling a mix of relief and frustration.

She couldn't help but wonder why Chen Tian had chosen to inform Emilia instead of reaching out to her directly.

'Humph, just wait till you come back.' She complained in her mind, feeling a pang of jealousy creeping in.

Aria's mind raced with questions and doubts, but she pushed them aside.

Deep down, she hoped that Chen Tian's arrival would bring answers and reassurance to the doubts that plagued her.

Not only she, but also Leng Zhiqing, was eagerly anticipating Chen Tian's return. Leng Zhiqing had many questions she wanted to ask him.

Firstly, how was he able to disappear in front of them without them even noticing? And where had he been all this time?

He wasn't at Emilia's house since Emilia had already confirmed that he wasn't there.

Leng Zhiqing couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and slight annoyance towards Chen Tian.

He was a useless and didn't like to do any work seriously, always playing games and never studying; his grades were barely passable.

Leng Zhiqing thought she knew him well, but now she wasn't so sure.

Maybe there was more to Chen Tian than meets the eye.

As her thoughts raced, Leng Zhiqing decided that she would confront Chen Tian and demand an explanation for his actions.

She was determined to get to the bottom of this and uncover the truth about him.

As for the person they were talking about, he was sitting on a chair by the window, rubbing the head of a cute girl, and looking at an old man kneeling on the ground, his head bowed low in front of him.

His appearance was back to its original form without using his Qi to hide his looks anymore.

The little girl may not have seen the world, but she was certain that no one could be more handsome than this boy.

After returning to Yi Guo Mansion, Chen Tian used a pen and paper and learned the name of the girl he was rubbing the head on.

<Thank you for saving me!> She wrote on paper and then bowed her head to Chen Tian.

She oozed such innocence and cuteness that it could melt anyone's heart, and she looked just like a doll, urging people to hold her in their arms protectively.

Chen Tian couldn't help but rub her head gently, as he couldn't resist the overwhelming feeling of affection towards her. He couldn't fathom how someone so small and delicate could possess such a captivating aura.

Her name was Yuan Ning.

<<Yuan Ning>>

She was born with a disability that left her unable to speak or hear, but it didn't stop her from radiating joy and happiness.

Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of care and compassion towards Yuan Ning.

Her father died when she was 10, and she has been living alone with her mother ever since.

But one day, a group of men came to their door and demanded money from her mother.

They threatened to harm them if she didn't pay up.

Her mother was a normal waitress at a local restaurant and didn't have the means to meet their demands.

Filled with fear and desperation, Yuan Ning's mother tried to run from the men, but they quickly caught up to her.

Her mother pleaded for mercy, but they showed no remorse. In front of Yuan Ning's eyes, the men attacked her mother mercilessly.

The group of men wanted to take Yuan Ning's with them, but her mother didn't let them and made an escape route for her daughter.

She pushed Yuan Ning away and signaled for her to run as fast as she could.

With tears streaming down her face, Yuan Ning obeyed her mother's desperate plea and sprinted away, not daring to look back.

Yuan Ning ran as fast as she could, her heart pounding in her chest.

Unfortunately for the mother and daughter, the men caught up to her quickly.

They were outnumbered and overpowered, unable to defend themselves against the ruthless attackers.

Yuan Ning's mother fought valiantly, trying to protect her daughter until her last breath.

The group of men got enraged and started beating up her mother.

The men showed no mercy, leaving the mother lifeless on the ground, as Yuan Ning watched in horror as her mother's lifeless body lay motionless before her.

Tears streamed down Yuan Ning's face as she felt sadness so deep that it consumed her entire being.

Because Yuan Ning was considered precious goods, she wasn't touched and was later sent here to Yi Guo.

Chen Tian could only sigh at the tragic fate that had befallen the little girl and her mother.

Heaven seemed to have turned its back on them, allowing such cruelty to exist in their lives.

Chen Tian rubbed the girl's head, making the little girl blush from the sudden affection she had received.

"So what did you do with the woman that dog kept here?" Chen Tian retuned his attention to the old man and spoke.

"I have given them a room inside this mansion and called for a doctor to check on them," the old man replied.

"Hm, good." Chen Tian nodded at the old man's actions.

"Tomorrow, ask them if they want to return to their previous lives, and if they don't want to return, provide them with a job here in the mansion," Chen Tian instructed.

The old man didn't understand Chen Tian's actions at first, but he nodded and agreed to follow his instructions.

"From today onward, everything that Yi Guo had will be mine. His companies, his houses, and everything that he owned Chen Tian continued.

"Old man, do you know why I kept you alive?" Chen Tian asked the old man, his voice filled with authority.

The old man hesitated for a moment before tentatively responding, "No, sir. I do not know the reason."

Chen Tian's lips curled into a sly smile as he spoke.

"I spared your life because I need someone I can trust to oversee everything. You will serve under me as my right-hand man. You will ensure that my empire continues to thrive and grow while I enjoy the fruits of your hard work."

Chen Tian's words hung in the air, leaving the old man speechless.

"B-But why!" The old man stammered, his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Because I saw in your eyes hatred and determination," Chen Tian said, his smile widening.
