Back over in the main lobby of this inn, Ning Yu the petite girl was still standing at the same spot like sheâs lost in thought due to the encounter.
Just then, a hand suddenly came from the rear and dragged her away to a corner before she could scream.
âWhat are you trying to do?â The girl snaps around after breaking free and was about to lash out when she saw who it was: âPa, what are you doing here?â
âDonât talk, come with me first.â Ning Yuan carefully scanned their surroundings and led the way to a secluded alleyway once he was sure no one was peeking. Immediately, beads of sweat came pouring out of the manâs now pale face.
âPa, youâre hurt?â Ning Yu whispers this with urgency, âDid those from the Celestial Palace do this?â
Ning Yuan didnât answer his daughterâs question and instead grabbed onto her shoulder, his voice solemn: âYuâer, you asked me before about whether or not your Auntie Ning has a daughter or not? I can tell you now that she does, and that daughter is now knocking on our doors!â
Ning Yuâs face froze up, her hands clenched into a tight ball over her fatherâs words. âThe woman youâre talking about, is she a pregnant woman with a very similar look to Auntie Ningâs?â
Showing surprise on his pale face, âHow did you know that?â
Ning Yu draws a sneer around her mouth as she spoke: âThatâs because the woman you mentioned is already by Auntie Ningâs side right this instant. Sheâs also been taken as a goddaughter by Auntie Ning! Pa, I worked for so many years trying to get that title, and now its been stolen away by some bitch who came out of nowhere!â
In this petite girlâs view, only she was qualified to be Bai Ningâs daughter. One for the long years of loyalty and persistence, the other granted by the fact that sheâs been by the ladyâs side since she was but a baby. Thereâs no way she would relent to a biological daughter that abandoned her Auntie Ning!
That slut is only coming to find Auntie Ning because she saw how strong she has become. What a shameless bitch! I will not let her have her way!
Flashing with an idea in his eyes, Ning Yuan immediately got the jest of the situation and followed up with a plan. âYuâer, your belief is correct. I met that woman earlier and inadvertently revealed Ningâerâs strength to her, thatâs why sheâs trying so hard to get close to your Auntie Ning. Itâs because of Ningâerâs strength, they only want her because of that!â
Originally Ning Yuâs comments and hateful thoughts were only speculations on her own part, thereâs no real evidence to back it up. However, this time its different if her father was saying what she believed in as well. Immediately, a distorted look appeared on the petite girlâs face.
âI just knew it! When I first laid eyes on her I just knew she wasnât a good person! I canât let this go! I must go tell Auntie Ning the truth!â
âWait!â
Seeing how his daughterâs about to leave, Ning Yuan hurriedly caught the girl by the shoulder again. Frowning: âNingâer doesnât know the woman is her own biological daughter yet. Daughter, you need to think this through. Do you believe your Auntie Ning will believe your words about a child harming their parents?â
Stopping in her feet now after that reminder, a frustrated and vicious light appeared on the girlâs face as she stood there, awaiting the next words to come.
âYou know it as well. Your Auntie Ning may have been abandoned by her family years ago, but she still longed for them to come retrieve her. If you tell her that evil woman is her biological daughter, what do you think she would do?â The man continues to lead his daughter down a projected train of thought with his words.
