âWhereâs Bai Ning?â The one speaking was an elderly old man with a very arrogant voice, but those words carried power like drumming thunder in a stormy night, leaving those with weaker bodies suffering from the shockwave.
âKeeper Ling, Bai Ning will soon be here, please wait.â
âPa!â Ning Yu cries out in a panic, âYouâre really going to kill Auntie at this rate!â
âYou shut up!â The scum snaps, âI do not need you pointing your fingers around to dictate how I do things! You are unworthy!â
Being called unworthy despite being the manâs own blood was damning for Ning Yu. Completely crumbling to the ground again, she felt powerless and alone in this world right now. She had no family left at this point, not a father, not a mother, and not a single dear friend she could turn toâ¦..
âIs this girl your daughter?â Keeper Ling asks after casting a glance down below.
Ning Yuan nodded: âYes, is there something you need by asking?â
âNothing, I only want to know her relationship with Bai Ning. Ifâ¦.â Squinting his gaze then, a flash of coldness flickered in the Keeperâs eye.
This time it did not need the scum to reply because Le Xin had recovered from the initial shockwave. Hurrying to speak: âRespected Keeper, please donât misunderstand, Yuâer and that Bai Ning is not close. Just earlier that woman had expelled Yuâer from her side so they no longer have any relationship.â
For Ning Yu, she hated the fact that her relationship had crashed hard with her Auntie Ning. To be pointed out like that only infuriated the girl and didnât win any positive points.
âWhat are you talking about! Auntie Ning will always be my mother in my heart! Even if she drove me away, I will find a chance to return to her side and never leave her!â
âYuâer!â Sweating buckets on the forehead, Le Xin kept giving the girl eye signals to make her stop.
Sadly, despite the goodwill, Ning Yu continued to ignore it and kept going like sheâs lost it: âWhy do you care so much about me when youâre nothing but a maid! Now that my father doesnât want me, you have no reason to please me anymore, nor will I take your affection!â
Going white in the face, Le Xin could already feel the temperature dropping around Keeper Lingâs existence. Hurrying forward, the lady attempts to pull the girl up and leave before its too late.
âYou go away, I donât want your fake kindness!â Using her best effort to push the lady away, Ning Yu manages to get up from the ground on her own, âIf it wasnât for Pa lying to me, making me believe Auntie Ningâs daughter abandoned her, I wouldnât have been driven awayâ¦.â
âBut it doesnât matter, Auntie Ning will forgive me soon enough. She will then accept me and I will become her daughter as well.â
Seemingly realizing the truth now, Le Xin looks on at the girl in front of herself with horror.
She⦠Sheâs trying to seek death?
Thatâs right, after being driven away by Bai Ning at the inn, this petite girl who made so much mistakes in life only wanted to run back to her father for comfort, never did she intend on taking her own life. Howeverâ¦. well, the truth simply was too cruel for her young heart. Now the last straw keeping her soul in check has crumbled and she just want to end it, end everything and leave this unbearable world.
