Qiao Ning confessed painfully, âToday, she plans to sell me out for her own interests again⦠She wants to give me to Su Zigao, they even drugged me, sob sobâ¦â
Hai Xiaotang was shocked. She grabbed Qiao Ningâs arm, âWhat did they do to you?!â
Qiao Ning shook her head, âNothing, I injured Su Zigao and ran away, but Iâm still very saddenedâ¦â
Hai Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief, âQiao Ning, as long as youâre fine.â
âXiaotang, Iâm really hurt, why does my mother treat me like this?â Qiao Ning asked, her face streaked with tears, âAm I not her daughter, does she not love me at all?â
Hai Xiaotang handed her a tissue to wipe her tears, âQiao Ning, thereâs every kind of parent in this world. Itâs not your fault, itâs your motherâs. She doesnât love you, but you need to love and cherish yourself more. From now on, stop expecting her love, just strive to love yourself, okay?â
Qiao Ning stopped crying and stared blankly for a long time.
Hai Xiaotang continued, âQiao Ning, you really shouldnât sacrifice your life for anyone. Remember, itâs not scary if no one else loves you, whatâs scary is when you donât love yourself!â
Qiao Ning was shocked, âLove myself?â
âYes!â Hai Xiaotangâs eyes reddened, âOnly when you love yourself can you be truly happy. Never sacrifice yourself, or abandon self-love for anyone!â
Qiao Ningâs eyes flickered, moved greatly by what she said.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yu, standing outside the door, listened to everything, his face complicated.
Hearing Hai Xiaotang say these words was beyond his expectation.
Because once upon a time, she was a girl with no sense of self and didnât know how to love herselfâ¦
But then, she suddenly changed. Is that why she was so determined to divorce him?
But what led to such a big change in her?
No matter what it was, Dongfang Yu was not comfortable. It must have had something to do with him.
Otherwise, why would she suddenly be so determined to stop loving himâ¦
After comforting Qiao Ning, her emotions finally stabilized.
Many things, she has come to terms with and let go.
âXiaotang, thank you. If it werenât for you today, I would have been dead by now. Thank you for enlightening me.â Qiao Ning expressed her gratitude.
Hai Xiaotang was confused, âDo you think I saved you?â
âIsnât it?â Qiao Ning was even more puzzled.
Hai Xiaotang shook her head, âNo, I got a call out of the blue about what happened to you. The doctor said, a man saved you, and he gave the hospital my number. Therefore, I suspect it might have been Chai Xiyangâ¦â
Qiao Ning froze suddenly! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Then, she shook her head in disbelief,âNo, it canât be him, why would it be him⦠it shouldnât be himâ¦â
âIf it wasnât him, why would he leave without leaving any information behind?â
Qiao Ning froze again, her feelings complicated and shocked.
And there was a trace of joy she couldnât suppressâ¦
âWas it really him? But, he hates me to death, wishing that I would disappear from his sight forever. Why would he save me?â Qiao Ning still found it hard to believe.
Hai Xiaotangâs eyes flicked, she asked cautiously, âQiao Ning, what actually happened between you and Chai Xiyang?â
II II
âDoes it have something to do with the first time your mother schemed against you?â
Qiao Ningâs eyes widened in surpriseâ
Seeing her reaction, Hai Xiaotang knew she guessed right.
