"It's him!" This was an affirmative sentence, not a question.
"Yes." General Manager An nodded.
"Got it. You can leave now." Song Yuxi turned around and faced Steward An with her back.
He bowed slightly and then quietly left the room just like when he came in.
Song Yuxi stood in front of the luxurious floor-to-ceiling window. She rubbed her smooth chin with her right hand and looked out the window thoughtfully.
Early in the morning, Mu Ning woke up from her dream. Her forehead was covered in sweat. She dreamed of her mother again. In her dream, her mother was no longer smiling at her gently like before. Instead, she was expressionless and looked at her coldly as if she was scolding her.
She approached her mother and pulled her back. She asked her why she was angry and if she had done something wrong. However, her mother shook her off forcefully. Her mother questioned her angrily,"Why did you abandon Mom and go with that person? Mom was killed by that person. Why don't you avenge Mom? Why do you still acknowledge him as your father?”
"No, Mom, I didn't! It's not that I don't want to help you take revenge, but I don't have the chance yet. I don't have the strength to fight against him yet. I will definitely help you take revenge!”Mu Ning said hatefully.
" You don't want revenge at all. You're not my daughter, you're not my daughter…" The mother's face was twisted in anger before it suddenly disappeared, leaving only her voice echoing in Mu Ning's ears.
" Mom, I didn't, I didn't…" Mu Ning hugged her legs tightly and buried her face between them as she cried. All the grievances that she had felt for many years surged up in her heart.
She had never forgotten. She had always remembered. She had only buried her hatred in her heart and waited for the right opportunity. She would not let off any of those people who did not save her back then! She would definitely pay them back double for what they had done to her and her daughter!
Mu Ning's teary eyes were filled with hatred, and her entire body was emitting a chill.
The door was suddenly opened from the outside. Chu Hanyi came in, followed by Shen Yan and Guo Xiu.
"Mu Ning, what's wrong?" Chu Hanyi saw Mu Ning's strange expression and quickly asked.
"Ning-Ning, what's wrong? I heard from Han Yi that you have a high fever and are very sick. Are you feeling better now?”Guo Xiu walked to the bedside with a concerned look on her face. She reached out to hold Mu Ning's hand, but Mu Ning avoided her hand.
"What kind of attitude is this? Your auntie cares about you. How can you be so rude?”Shen Yan glared at Mu Ning from behind.
"Yes, I'm just rude and ill-mannered.”Mu Ning sneered, not hiding the hatred in his eyes.
"You!" Shen Yan was furious.
"Okay, honey, Ningning is sick now. Don't pick on her.”Guo Xiu quickly tried to smooth things over. She turned around and asked Mu Ning kindly,"Ning-Ning, don't be angry. Your father has a temper like this. We've always been very concerned about you. Han Yi, thank you for taking care of Mu Ning for us. We've really troubled you."”
They really knew how to put on an act. If they really cared about her, why did they only find out now that she had been injured and sick for so long? Mu Ning sneered in her heart. "Is that so? You really care about me. I guess you'll only know when I'm about to die of illness!”
When Shen Yan and Guo Xiu heard this, their expressions froze. They only found out when she said that her mother was terminally ill! Shen Yan felt embarrassed, especially when Chu Hanyi was present. He shouted at Mu Ning angrily,""What do you mean? Can you blame me for your mother's death?"
"You know what you've done! Back then, you did it on purpose. You already knew when my mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer, but in order to get me, you dragged it out until the late stages! You even have a fake look on your face as if you sympathize with us. It's really disgusting. What right do you have to say that my mother's death has nothing to do with you?”Mu Ning stood up from the bed in excitement and roared at Shen Yan and Guo Xiu.
She hated them! He hated it to the bone!
"You unfilial daughter, how can you say that? I'm your father!" Shen Yan jumped up as if he had been stepped on. He pointed at Mu Ning and scolded her angrily.
Father? The person who abandoned her mother and daughter and caused her mother's death was not worthy of calling himself her father! Mu Ning's gaze turned cold. A biting cold aura emanated from her body, causing Shen Yan and Guo Xiu to shiver uncontrollably.
"Then I'd rather not have a father like you! I can't stand looking at your disgusting faces!”Mu Ning turned around, her voice filled with disgust.
Guo Xiu, who was at the side, could not help but say angrily,"How can you say that? Even if your mother's death is related to us, you can't say such disgraceful words! No matter what, he is still your father!”
"You ruined my mother's life, and you actually want to let it go with just a few words. Haha! Guo Xiu, you don't have the right to criticize me. You and him are simply a nest of snakes and rats!”Mu Ning was furious and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Suddenly, Mu Ning was pulled back by someone and fell into a warm embrace.
"I'm sorry. Be good. Don't cry." Chu Hanyi's pleasant voice rang in Mu Ning's ears. His smooth fingers brushed past her and wiped away the tears from Mu Ning's eyes.
"I'm not crying!" Mu Ning frowned and tried to deny it.
"Okay, you didn't cry!" Chu Hanyi smiled dotingly and stroked Mu Ning's long hair.
He turned around and his expression immediately turned cold. He said coldly to Shen Yan and Guo Xiu, who were standing at the side, in an unfriendly tone,"Please go back. When I first let you in, I thought you were really concerned about Mu Ning and wanted to bring her back, but I think I might have misunderstood. If you're here to teach Mu Ning a lesson, please leave now! Mu Ning's fever had not completely subsided, and her body was still not in good condition. The doctor said that she had to maintain a happy mood to recover faster.”
Being chased out of someone else's house, he believed that whoever it was would be embarrassed! Shen Yan and Guo Xiu's expressions turned ugly. "Han Yi, what do you mean?”They were elders, after all, but he actually didn't give them any face.
"The doctor told me that Mu Ning's body is weak due to her high fever, so she needs more rest.”Chu Han was not polite at all. Mu Ning was seriously ill, but they were not worried at all. They even scolded Mu Ning. They were not worthy of being parents!
"We're Mu Ning's parents! It's fine if you want us to leave, but Mu Ning has to go back with us!”Shen Yan stomped his feet in anger.
Chu Hanyi was furious when he mentioned his parents. He ignored them and shouted at the door,""Uncle Jing, send the guest out!"
Shen Yan was angered by Chu Hanyi's attitude. He pointed at Chu Hanyi and was about to speak, but Guo Xiu stopped him.
"Forget it, hubby. Let's go back first.”Guo Xiu knew that Chu Hanyi and the others could not afford to offend them. He was showing mercy to them for Mu Ning's sake.
Mu Ning only calmed down after Guo Xiu had dragged Shen Yan away. Then she realized that she was still in someone's arms. She blushed and pushed Chu Hanyi away. "Pervert!"
Chu Hanyi was speechless. He helped her drive away her two annoying parents, but she called him a pervert. It was a thankless task! "Sigh! In this world, good people never had good karma. They helped you, but you called them perverts.”
" Thank you…" Mu Ning was a little touched. He was a young master with a prominent status and was not related to her, yet he was willing to help her, even though she did not understand why. Could it be because he liked her? That shouldn't be possible. She didn't have outstanding looks or a good family background. Why would he like her? It should be that his eldest young master was free and wanted to do something good! Mu Ning thought to herself.
"Here we go again. There's only one thank you every time. It's too uncreative!”Chu Hanyi said unhappily.
"Well, what else do you want?" Mu Ning asked, stunned.
Chu Hanyi smiled as if his plan had succeeded, and his eyes were full of cunning. " If you really want to thank me-" As he spoke, he tapped his lips with his slender finger and said in a roguish manner,""Then kiss me!"
"Damn it!" Mu Ning was embarrassed. She picked up a pillow and threw it at Chu Hanyi.
"Wow! A gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands! If it doesn't work, we can discuss it again. Why don't we change places and kiss here?”Chu Hanyi quickly reached out to catch the pillow that was flying towards him. He pointed at his face and smiled.
"Go to hell, I'm not a gentleman!" Mu Ning grabbed another pillow and threw it at Chu Hanyi. She sounded angry, but there was a smile on her face.
"Sigh, only women and villains are difficult to raise. It seems that I still have to transform you into a lady!”Chu Han Yi dodged the flying pillow and sighed.
"I don't want to be a lady!" Mu Ning laughed heartily. She did not even realize that there was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.
Chu Hanyi's joke brightened Mu Ning's mood. It was impossible for her not to be touched by his thoughtfulness and consideration. He knew that she was upset because she had quarreled with the two men just now, so he deliberately used this subtle way to divert her attention and make her happy.
Chu Hanyi, thank you! Mu Ning thought to herself.
"If you don't want to be a lady, what do you want to be? Wild woman?" Chu Hanyi crossed his arms and asked.
"None of your business!"
"Why should I care?" Chu Han raised his eyebrows and smiled,""Sigh, since you've said so, then I'll reluctantly manage it! First, give me the kiss you owe me!”
…" How could this person be so shameless! Mu Ning was speechless.
"Hehe! Ladies know how to repay kindness. Come on, if you want to kiss me a few more times, I don't mind!”Chu Hanyi laughed, his eyes curved.
If Mu Ning had been grateful to him just now, it was gone now because she had been teased!
"I'm going home!" Mu Ning said coldly and turned around, leaving Chu Hanyi stunned.
