However, the blind Ning Chen was still the future head of the Ning family, regardless if his eyes could see or not.

After the distribution of powers within the household, the Ning Group’s stock prices rose steadily, and their earnings reached new highs every year.

Ning Chen’s uncles were still in their prime, and his relatives in the same generation were also outstanding.

Therefore, Ning Donghai’s decision to break the ancestral traditions had been undoubtedly the best course of action.

However, Ning Chen’s position became more and more awkward.

He was a rare young talent even after he lost his sight, but it did not change the fact that he was still impaired.

For a prestigious family like the Ning family to install a blind man as the head of the family, no matter what, it just didn’t make sense.

However, with Ning Donghai around, no one dared to raise any objections. Losing his eldest son had made him obsessed with his eldest grandson. He would protect Ning Chen with his life until his last breath.

Ning Chen was sent abroad by his grandfather to recuperate for the first three years after the accident. It was said that he had been suffering from depression following his loss of sight.

He only returned to M City two years ago and began participating in the Ning Group’s executive meetings to prepare for his succession.

Old Master Ning made extremely detailed arrangements for his grandson. The butler, Ning Wen, and the special assistants, Ji An and Shao Jia, were among the elites whom he had carefully selected.

Ning Wen was also the son of Ning Donghai’s own butler, Ning Gang. Ning Gang was an elder who had watched Ning Chen grow up, and had also been a classmate of his father, Ning Kang.

With the help of these people he had hand-picked, his grandson gradually established a firm foothold in the Ning Group.

Following that, the internal problems of the Ning Group gradually revealed themselves.

The rest of the family members, who considered themselves accomplished, were not willing to be inferior to others.

The eldest son of the second branch of the family, Ning Jie, was considered the cornerstone of the Ning family nowadays. He was the most favoured person to be Ning Chen’s replacement.

His eldest son, Ning Yu, was only a year younger than Ning Chen. His qualifications were also quite outstanding.

In the information compiled by her comrades, there were the backgrounds of each member of the Ning family. It was incredibly detailed, from which kindergarten they had attended down to which perfume they used.

Qin Yu couldn’t help but laugh. This bunch of people probably had nothing better to do.

She swiped through the report and found the data on the few people who had appeared today.

She came across the biodata of Bai Xin, who was Ning Jie’s wife and Ning Yu’s mother. There was no wonder why she had been so arrogant this morning. If she killed Ning Chen, her husband would replace him, and she would be the wife of the head of the Ning family!

The eldest cousin, Ning Jing, was the granddaughter of Ning Donghai’s third brother, Ning Qing. Since she was married to a family friend, she had a very high status in her in-law’s family as well.

Not only that, since she was the first female born in her generation, she had been doted on by three of her grandfathers ever since she was young, and had therefore developed a spoiled personality.

In the Ning family, she was an existence that no one dared to provoke. Apart from Ning Chen, she wasn’t afraid of anyone else.

It was said that when she was young, she had acted as his elder sister; she had tried to force him into an arranged marriage, but got berated for that.

No matter how popular she was among the socialites, her position could never compete with the eldest grandson of the eldest son, Ning Chen. This was a rule of the Ning family.

The third cousin, Ning Wan, and the fifth cousin were the granddaughters of the second son, Ning Feng. They had always been on good terms with the eldest cousin. Their own cousin, Bai Ting, was the niece of Bai Xin’s family. Bai Xin had always wanted to marry Ning Chen.

Hehe! Qin Yu was amused.

She didn’t think that she would have already offended all the most powerful women in the Ning family on the first day of their encounter.

Her gaze fell on the name of the sixth madam, Ji Lan.

Ji Lan and the sixth master’s son, Ning Jian, was the youngest of the third branch. He was only four years older than Ning Chen, and even Ning Jing was older than him.

He was the most inconspicuous and unimportant person in the Ning family, low-key and modest. He got along well with every member of his family. Ji Lan’s family background was ordinary, thus she was very compatible with the sixth master’s temperament.

Qin Yu switched to her game on her tablet and watched the silly little character move about on the screen, looking for food in a daze.

Ning Chen’s life was not easy either!

It seemed that it was not any simpler than hers!

They both did not have their parents’ love, and they were surrounded by a group of people who were eyeing them covetously, wanting to take their lives at any time and place.

Innocent men were guilty of possessing wealth.

Ning Chen’s wealth was the position of the head of the Ning family.

Her wealth was money.

They were really in the same boat.

It seemed that the cause of Ning Chen’s blindness was not that transparent.

Ning Kang died in a car accident, and Ning Chen had been in another car accident as well.

The people pulling the strings behind the scenes had not even been willing to change their methods. It was clear how arrogant they were, and how determined they were to achieve their goals.

They were stuck in similar circumstances, and this made Qin Yu keenly aware of the crux of the problem.

‘Ning Chen is also very pitiful. I should have helped him properly. At the very least, I could think of a way to cure his eyes.’

Qin Yu truly sympathized with the difficulties of growing up alone
