Chapter 1177 “Ning Yu’s jealousy (4)”
Bai Ning didn’t expect to hear anything like that from the boy’s mouth so her reaction didn’t come right away.
What little beggar? What’s going on?
“Babysit? What babysit? Where am I supposed to get a baby?” she asks everyone in the room, trying to get some clear answers.
Timidly looking up to lock eyes with the lady, Dragony puckers her lip like she’s suffering from some great grievance: “Just now this auntie said you are going to marry her father, and that you are going to be her mother soon. She also told us not to pester you, but…. I’m scared. Pretty Granny, can you not drive us away?”
Like his sister, the little steambun was also tearing up in the face, just that his appearance was that of a stubborn boy trying hard to hold back his tears.
“Dragony, let’s go, we will go find Mother, only Mother loves us in this world now.”
“WAHHHH!!!!” As if prearranged, the little missy throws her face into the boy’s arm: “Gege, I miss Mother, but there are so many bad people out there, I don’t know if we will make it till then….”
Bai Ning just stared at this scene, not able to process the situation due to how much information there was. However, when she saw the sad and pitiful appearance of the two kids, her chest would become overwhelmed with an inexplicable stuffiness of anger and pain.
Turning cold in her eyes, she turns to the instigator of this argument: “Ning Yu, when did I say I will marry your father? I have clearly rejected him and you shouldn’t have such thoughts either. Also, these two aren’t some sort of beggar I brought back from the outside! You have no right to drive them away from me.”
The petite girl got pale as she staggered backwards: “I… I, Auntie Ning, I really didn’t…”
“Didn’t? You mean that they’re lying instead?” Disappointment filled the woman’s eye when confronting this girl whom she considered a niece for all these years.
She watched her grow, from an innocent and lovely child to this… deceitful and mean girl? How could Bai Ning not be disappointed? Hell, how could anyone not be disappointed?
Unfortunately, Ning Yu apparently didn’t get the hint and grasped onto the idea like it’s her lifeline. Biting her lip like she’s the one suffering: “Yes Auntie Ning, they are lying. You watched me grow up so you should know me better than anyone. How could I treat these two lovely children in that fashion? If anything, I couldn’t wait to cuddle them due to how cute they are.”
It’s already come to this in the girl’s mind so she decided to go ahead and lie all the way. What else could she lose in this case?
Now only did Bai Ning feel disappointed, she’s also furious at this point. Drawing a sarcastic smirk: “Ning Yu, you’ve known me for many years already, do you think I would be fooled this easily? If you had admitted your mistake then I would’ve perhaps forgiven you…. But now, you are persistently claiming they are lying?” Inhaling deeply, the lady wanted to lash out but couldn’t. “Children of their age are the least likely to lie, not to mention they have no grudge against you so why would they frame you?”
“I…” Ning Yu’s body trembled more intensely than before.
In the end, she had underestimated these two kids. It never occurred to this petite girl that they would be able to win her Auntie Ning over to such extent, even to the point where her argument doesn’t stand a chance!
Understanding this much, Ning Yu promptly clenched up her fist and plopped to the ground, those tears flowing down like a hot spring. “I am wrong Auntie Ning, I know I am wrong now. I’m sorry, but I got jealous, I was worried. In this world, you were the only one aside from my pa who is around me, I was afraid you would leave me behind. That’s why I said you were going to marry my father, I valued you as my mother because I had no other.”
Now that was the right thing to say here in this case. Sure enough, Bai Ning’s heart was moved by that explanation because its true to some extent.
