Then, there was a tender voice, "Aunt..."
Yue Wanqing and Ning Qing turned and looked. Xu Junxi and Ning Yao stood nearby.
Ning Qing was shocked. The world was so small. The two of them came to this hospital and ran into them.
"Mom, let's go back to the room." Ning Qing held her mom by her arm and obviously didn't want to talk to the two of them.
Yue Wanqing nodded. although the personal scores among the older generation weren't related to the next generation, Ning Yao's mother, Li Meiling ruined her family, she couldn't treat Ning Yao like her own daughter anymore.
As the meeting would be so awkward, they might as well avoid it.
The pair of mother and daughter walked towards the ward.
Xu Junxi saw that Ning Qing treated him like air, his handsome face grew dispirited while Ning Yao who was next to him was rather excited."Aunt, how are you feeling? A few days ago, sister wanted to borrow money from Junxi for your operation fees. But when Junxi wanted to lend it to her, she said that she already got the money."
Yue Wanqing stopped walking.
Ning Qing's face grew grave. There was fire in her eyes. No matter how she fights with Ning Yao, she had a line that could not be crossed, such as her mom.
"Mom, she's Li Meiling's daughter. Don't listen to her. Let's leave."
"Aunt, I have a piece of great news to tell you. Sister was in entertainment circle for three years and she finally passed a screen test today. She's the female lead role in Street Walker. Director Wang was exceptionally nice to Sister."𝐟rℯℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝓷o𝘃e𝒍 - 🅽🅽novel
Ning Yao stressed on the word "nice" and she successfully portrayed an ambiguous relationship.
Yue Wanqing looked lost. She pulled her arm back from Ning Qing's hand. She looked at Ning Qing and spoke in a shivering voice, "Qingqing, what entertainment circle, what Director Wang? I don't understand. Why do you have time to go to such places. Aren't you learning piano in school?"
Ning Qing was hurt by her mother's gaze. She extended her hand and wanted to hold her mom."Mom, let's go back to the room. Listen to me as I explain myself."
Yue Wanqing took a step back but didn't let Ning Qing touch her. She face was pale and her head ached. Her fragile body staggered and she looked like she was going to faint.
"Mom..." Ning Qing's eyes welled up with tears. She knew that the truth would reveal itself. Her mom would have found out about this one day, but not now.
"Aunt, what piano? Don't you know that sister studies at the Beijing Film Academy, the school for people who want to enter the entertainment circle and become an actor?"
"Ning Yao, that's enough. Shut up!" Ning Qing held her fist tightly. She raised her voice and there was warning and anger in her tone.
Ning Yao looked at Ning Qing as she raised her eyebrows. It felt great to take revenge, "Aiya, sister, look, Aunt is going to faint..."
Ning Qing heard a thud and she turned around and saw that Yue Wanqing fell on the ground.
"Mom!" Ning Qing ran forward and knelt down on the ground. She carried Yue Wanqing in her embrace and her tears flowed down her cheeks. She shook her head nervously and cried, "Mom, what happened to you? Don't scare Qingqing. Mom, wake up, Mom..."
Xu Junxi saw Ning Qing then and he felt pain. His heart felt like it was being squeezed and he was suffocating.
Ning Qing was always strong and stubborn before him. But she was crying for her mom, she said to not scare Qingqing. She was like a helpless child.
Why wasn't she willing to do so before him?
Is he not a person that she loves?
Xu Junxi realized that he was running when he came back to reality. He left Ning Yao and ran towards Ning Qing. She was helpless then, she needed him.
Xu Junxi wanted to call for the doctor but there were a bunch of doctors and nurses running towards them. They hoisted Yue Wanqing, who fainted, onto the cart and pushed her into the emergency room.
His attention was directed at a gentleman. He was the one who brought the doctor. He leaned down and helped Ning Qing who was crying on the ground.
Ning Qing stood outside the emergency room and wailed while the gentleman comforted her. Although there weren't any intimate actions, he could tell that Ning Qing believed in him.
Xu Junxi smirked. Every time he wanted to get close to her, there were always men around her.
She was never lacking men...
Hence, she didn't bother with him.
...
As Xu Junxi made wild guesses, someone grabbed his right arm again. It was Ning Yao who was left behind earlier. She caught up and held his arm again.
He saw that Ning Qing looked over. Her eyes were red and there were tears on her face but she clenched her fists and walked over with chilly gleams of hatred.
Ning Qing walked before Ning Yao and raised her right hand to slap Ning Yao.
There was a breeze that blew past Xu Junxi's face and he extended his hand to hold Ning Qing's wrist in the air, "Ning Qing, all the lies would be exposed. It's not Yao Yao's fault. You shouldn't have lied to..."
Before "your mom" came out from his throat, there were two slaps. Ning Qing used her left hand to slap Ning Yao.
Ning Yao was dumbfounded. She knew that Xu Junxi would protect her and would stop Ning Qing's right hand, so she wasn't afraid. She looked at Ning Qing smugly and provocatively.
She never thought Ning Qing could slap so swiftly, accurately, and brutally with her left hand.
Xu Junxi felt that he had been ignored again. He let go of her wrist and his pursed his lips into a straight line, "Ning Qing..."
There were another two slaps. Ning Qing's right hand was free and she swung another two slaps at Ning Yao's face.
She slapped Ning Yao four times in total.
Ning Yao was light-headed from the slaps and she could taste iron. Her cheeks were burning and she was numb from the pain.
She touched her face and there was blood on her fingertips. Ning Qing slapped her face till it bled. Her face was her capital.
"Ning Yao, I, Ning Qing will remember what happened today. If anything happens to my mom, I will take you and your mistress mother's lives! If my mom is okay, I'll accept your challenge and we shall see!"
Ning Yao knew that she couldn't fight Ning Qing. So, she quickly shed tears and tugged Xu Junxi's shirt, "Junxi..."
Ning Qing slapped Ning Yao four times before his eyes; It severely damaged Xu Junxi's ego. The moment he received Ning Yao's SOS, he immediately grew solemn and said, "Ning Qing, don't go overboard!"
"I'm going overboard. What can CEO Xu do to me?" Ning Qing turned her head slowly and looked at him. She's smiling. The lifted corners of her lips weren't sufficient to cover the chilly gleam in her eyes. She looked at him coldly with disdain.
Xu Junxi was angry.
Ning Qing put her hand in her pocket and took out a jade bracelet."This belongs to the Xu family. Now I return it to the owner. Xu Junxi, our eighteen years' destiny has ended. I am no longer related to you by any way."
Ning Qing raised the bracelet level with Xu Junxi's eyes.
Xu Junxi was the one who asked for her to return the jade bracelet but when he saw that Ning Qing returned it to him, he didn't want to take it.
As she had said, if he were to take the bracelet, he was really not related to her anymore.
Eighteen years, how many beautiful memories they had. Such a beautiful past.
"Why, you don't want it?" Ning Qing smiled and eased her grip. The jade bracelet dropped on the floor and the sound reverberated through the hospital corridor.
Xu Junxi's eyes were red and his chest was billowing. The woman was humiliating him. Just how cruel was she?
Ning Qing greeted Xu Junxi's ferocious gaze. The angrier he got, the happier she smiled. Her tear covered face let out a beautiful smile. The resolute sorrow was like a deadly poppy flower, so beautiful.
"Xu Junxi, you didn't look after your woman and she hurt my mom. Actually, you should be slapped too. But do you know why I didn't slap you? I think you're filthy!"
"Xu Junxi, as we couldn't forget our past, let us remember each other as enemies. I hope there wouldn't be a day where I would become your nightmare!"
Then, Ning Qing turned and left.
Xu Junxi watched her back as she left. As she made it so clear, he shall act as if Ning Qing never existed in his life.
Xu Junxi turned and walked in the total opposite direction, to the lift.
"Junxi, wait for me..." Ning Yao had hand prints on both her cheeks. She appeared satisfied. She was hit by Ning Qing but she felt great. Yue Wanqing entered the emergency room while Junxi finally called off their engagement.
Ning Yao bent down to pick up the jade bracelet and put it in her pocket. That's great. Work harder and she will become Mrs. Xu.
Ning Yao caught up with Xu Junxi and they entered the lift.
...
Yue Wanqing was pushed out of the emergency room and into the ward. Doctor Luo exhorted Ning Qing to not provoke the patient, and instructed that she must rest up.
Ning Qing nodded continuously and thanked Doctor Luo. She stood outside the ward.
Yue Wanqing leaned against the bed as she took her IV drip. She hushed the nurse out. She didn't talk to Ning Qing, nor did she let her in.
The nurse was still carrying the dinner tray. Yue Wanqing didn't eat nor did she intend to eat. Ning Qing's heart was aching. Tears began to flow.
No matter how strong she was on the outside, she'd always be a little girl before her mom.
Ning Qing cried as she wiped away her tears, "Mom, can you have dinner? You can't starve yourself... Mom, you can hit me, you can scold me, but please don't ignore me. Woo... Mom, listen to me, I can explain myself. Woo..."
There was no reply in the room.
Ning Qing didn't know what to do. Mom used to spoil her the most. Her mom would compromise and surrender whenever she acted spoilt.
But she cried for so long, her mom didn't bother with her.
Her mom was really angry.
Ning Qing felt hopeless, she was wailing with pain. Her shoulders were shivering. She was very tired, both physically and mentally. Her legs grew weak and she glided down with the wall supporting her. She wanted to squat on the ground and cry her lungs out.
Before she could squat down, a muscular arm held her small waist. She felt the warmth on her cold skin through her clothing.
Kisses were planted on her cheeks where the tears flowed down. With heartache and pity, a low hoarse voice asked, "Why are you crying so badly?"
