âAuntie Ning, this is not me, really not me, this person is framing me, you have to believe meâ¦â
Bai Ning frowned at that: âHow do you want me to believe you? Aside from you who knows about the powers in my hand, thereâs only your father as the other. Are you implying heâs the one who betrayed me?â
âAuntie Ningâ¦â Letting her hand go, Ning Yu slowly looks up and was met with that cold hard face. Thereâs no longer any kindness in those eyes that she has come to knownâ¦.
âNing Yu, you really let me down this time. How did I educate you? I wanted you to be a frank person and this is the sort of behavior you use to repay me?â Replacing that anger in the womanâs face now was disappointment.
Although she had long known that Ning Yu might not be what she presumes to be on the outside, nevertheless, Bai Ning still regarded this petite girl as some sort of child in her own eyes. Throwing tantrums and personalities around due to puberty was expected. However, this was far beyond what she imagined!
Making a smile like the soul has left her body, Ning Yu slowly rose from the ground, pain and despair showing all over her existence.
âYes, you raised and educated me to be a frank person since young, but what have you done in retrospect? Over the years, Iâve treated and looked towards you as my real mother, but youâ¦. you always treated me as someone else, a replacement! Iâm a substitute for your daughter, thatâs what you were using me for! Do you know how much it hurts me inside because of that!â Tears filled those saddened eyes as the pained fluid covered the girlâs face.
Imagine being second fiddle to a daughter that never once showed herself, thatâs mentally damaging for any child. In this case, the petite girl may be vicious and cruel as well in nature, but she does have a point in not wanting to share her motherly figure. This was especially true when it came to Bai Yan and her children, itâs far beyond the level of love she herself got and that made Ning Yu go crazy!
âThatâs why you did it?â Bai Ning asks with a long sigh.
Shaking her head in a bittersweet manner: âAuntie Ning, I am so good to you, and my father only has you in his heart, why do you hide so many things from us? Like that demonic beast, he once said he will return the debt by becoming your daughterâs familiar after your rejection, is that why you refuse to take me as your daughter? You want to reserve that creature for your real daughter?â
Dropping her mouth into an oval shape, Bai Ning couldnât believe what she was hearing. Half a minute later, she issues a helpless sigh and said: âI did not accept you as my daughter because I subconsciously know I have a daughter. Since I already have a daughter of my own, how can I take someone elseâs child? As for the matter with my demonic beast, youâre overthinking it. I never intended to have him pledge loyalty to anyone.â
Clenching her fist until its shaking, Ning Yu uses her bloodshot eyes to stare dead into the womanâs eye: âOkay, ignoring the demonic beast, why canât you take me as your daughter? I kept you company for all these years, I should have every right to that title than someone who abandoned you! Which part of me you donât like? I promise I will change!â
Abandoned you?
This sentence left Bai Yan sharpening in the eye as she glared over to the petite girl.
âYou never seen her family before so how do you know she was abandoned by them? In my opinion, the only reason they havenât found Mother is because someone is interfering with malice thoughts and prevented her memories from returning.â
