Chapter 101 Listening to Yue Ning Talk about the Past

Yue Ning left the private room and looked at the people in the hall and other private rooms who were looking at them.

She entered the office area and passed by Sophie's door: "Sister Sophie, notify HTV, there is news."

Sophie was still handling official business. She came over and asked, "What's the big news?"

"I am the biological daughter of Cui Ertai Yu Wanmei. This is big news."

Sophie was stunned but immediately reacted: "I'll let you know right away."

Yue Ning and Yue Baohua entered the office. Cui Huishu, who had been very courageous just now, now sat on the sofa like a deflated ball.

Yue Ning glanced at him and made a phone call to Lide. The people at Lide said that Miss Cui was in the hospital. She asked the people at Lide to immediately notify Cui Huiyi that Cui Huishu came to see her.

Cui Huiyi just received a call from the mansion's maid Sister Ling, saying that Yu Wanmei's door was open and she was missing. She was getting angry and cursing, "Can't you give me some peace of mind?"

She received another call from the company and asked, "Cui Huishu went to Ningyan. Did you ask Ningning to pay the bail for his mother?"

Cui Huiyi hung up the phone and said to Miss Zhu, "Linda, you stay here and tell the visiting guests that I'm going to look for the young master."

"Where did the young master go?"

"I went to Ningyan. I don't have time to explain to you. I guess it will be all over the city soon and you will know about it." Cui Huiyi picked up her bag and walked out.

When Cui Jiachang, who was lying on the bed, heard these words, he wondered why God didn't let him fall to death instantly, but made him face all these terrible things?

Cui Huiyi drove to Ningyan. The reporters from HTV had already gone in. A few reporters who heard the news were also invited. The others could only wait for news outside Ningyan.

When she saw her get off the car, she immediately rushed over and said, "I want to know what's going on, too. Let me go in first."

Cui Huiyi walked quickly to Yue Ning's office. When she arrived at the door of the office, it was already crowded with reporters. Cui Huishu was frightened and curled up in the corner.

"Cui Huishu, what are you doing here?" Cui Huiyi was furious. "My elder sister is busy saving Cui Ji, and I have to establish my virtue and take care of my father. I also have to receive visitors and deal with his women asking for money. Your mother is in prison and is waiting for the verdict. She has to serve the sentence after the verdict. I can't let you live alone, right? I asked you to go to the mansion. Am I wronging you?"

Yue Ning held Cui Huiyi and said, "He wants to bail out his mother. He thinks his mother hit his father like this. You hate his mother and you will definitely not help him, so he came to me."

Cui Huiyi cursed excitedly: "Why do you think Ningning will help your mother? Ningning didn't stab your mother with a knife. She is too kind."

Yue Ningqiang held Cui Huiyi down and said, "Sister Huiyi, please sit down first. Cui Huishu only heard your father and mother mention that I was her biological daughter, and he doesn't know the whole truth. It's understandable that a teenager who encounters such a thing wants to find someone to bail his mother out. Let's talk things out calmly."

Cui Huiyi sat down, and Yue Ning looked at the reporters from the TV station and newspaper again: "I have three points to make. First, Cui Huishu cannot appear on camera because he is still a minor. Second, I guarantee that what I said is the truth that I know. Third, I don't need the public to judge for me, I just don't want rumors to spread."

Television stations and newspapers all nodded.

Yue Ning sat down next to his grandfather: "Cui Huishu, if any child calls me 'sister', I will gladly accept it. But I won't accept you as 'sister'. Because you are Yu Wanmei's son. The story begins when your mother was called Dong Xiaomei and was a salesperson at Yuecheng Food Store No. 2..."

This time when Yue Ning returned to Yuecheng, she went to Fuyunlou again. When she was chatting with them, she mentioned the incident when Dong Xiaomei gave her away. Only then did she know how thrilling it was at that time. Dong Xiaomei gave her to an old woman. The old woman originally wanted to give her to relatives in the countryside. Fortunately, her father arrived in time and snatched her back.

"The road to the northwest is very long. In addition to taking trains and cars, you have to walk all the way. My father held me in his arms, carried me on his back, and dragged me through mountains and rivers until we arrived at Xiaoyanggou." Yue Ning recalled the days in Xiaoyanggou. He was a poor boy and was looked down upon by others. His father did the dirtiest and most tiring work. When he took off his clothes at night, the shoulder skin would be rubbed by the carrying pole and blood and flesh would stick to his clothes.

She seemed to be talking about someone else, and the others were moved to tears.

"I'm about the same age as you. My father was sick. He had to take medicine and see a doctor, so he couldn't go out to work. In the end, he died. What I have to face is that I don't have a father anymore, and he still owes two years of work points. It's only a hundred yuan, but it's an astronomical figure for me. The idiot's mother came to me and asked me to marry their second idiot, and their family would help me pay off the work points I owed to the brigade. I didn't want to, and she spread rumors in the brigade that I was a father-killer. I swear I will pay it back, but you can't do business in that place, so you can only pay it back with labor. I tried my best to get first-class work points and I tried my best to get advanced. Wolves came to steal sheep, dogs were barking outside, sheep were wailing, and I was afraid, so I rushed out..." Yue Ning, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, showed them the white scar on his arm that had already flattened, "Dahei and I were bleeding, but we drove the wolves away, saved the brigade's sheep, and were praised. How important is this to a bastard like me?"

"Do you think I'm naturally strong? Can I lift a strong man? There are so many bachelors in poor areas who can't find wives. How many people covet an orphan like me? I only have one belief, as long as I'm strong enough, no one dares to mess with me. It's not easy for me to live until my grandfather comes to find me." Yue Ning bent down and asked Cui Huishu, "Do you know who has caused all the hardships that my father and I have experienced?"

Cui Huishu curled up and dared not answer.

Yue Ning straightened up: "When we were in Beijing, your mother knew that Yue Baohua's granddaughter was her daughter. I recognized her, too. I didn't want my grandfather to know that the woman who killed my father and caused me to be displaced and suffer so much is alive and well and is still by his side. She is his acquaintance. I warned your parents privately not to let my grandfather know. I thought it would be fine as long as we didn't have any contact with each other."

Yue Ning let out a long sigh: "Until Sister Huiyi and I cooperated to launch Baohualou's co-branded instant noodles, your mother asked someone to put borax in the trial product, trying to get Sister Huiyi who didn't know about this to agree to use this formula. Fortunately, I discovered it early. If it had been exposed during mass production, your sister would have been thrown into jail and my reputation would have been ruined. And you could have smoothly inherited all the assets of the Cui family. I went to question your mother that day, and you were there. What did your mother say? Your mother said: 'Didn't you say it doesn't matter? Each for their own benefit.' This is your mother! For the sake of profit, she can lose all conscience. Your mother is a mother to you, but a demon to me."

Yue Ning asked him: "Cui Huishu, do you understand why I don't allow you to call me 'sister'? Do you still want me to pay money to bail out your mother?"

Cui Huishu was already so frightened that she almost lost her soul. How could he dare to speak again?

"Cui Huishu! I already know how many dirty things your mother has done. Not to mention that she has been with your father for so many years and gave birth to a son like you, who is also your father's only son. How could this restaurant go from being prosperous to being sold? I don't need to tell you, right? How could your father be half dead? You know that too, right? Just think about it, how would she treat the first wife and Huiwen and Huiyi over the years?" Yue Ning looked at him, "To this day, Sister Huiwen is still willing to work hard to save Cui Ji, and Sister Huiyi is willing to arrange a place for you when your mother is in prison and your father is half dead. They are already broad-minded and kind-hearted. You said you don't want to go to the mansion, you want your mother to come out. Without saying a word, you ran to me. How much trouble have you caused them?"

His second sister would curse, and he thought Yue Ning would be easier to talk to than his second sister. She really didn't curse, and she did speak calmly, but her words made him afraid to speak.

Cui Huiyi stood up and said, "Why are you still sitting there? Let's go."

Cui Huishu stood up, and Cui Huiyi said to Yue Ning: "Ningning, we are leaving."

"Go ahead!"

Yue Ning escorted them out, and when he turned around, the reporter immediately asked, "Did Cui Yuwanmei have someone put the borax there?"

"At the time, this incident was overshadowed by the borax food problem on the market, so it didn't have much impact. But Cui Huiyi and I deduced the entire process of the incident and confronted Cui Jiachang and Cui Yuwanmei. Because of this incident, Cui Huiyi was disappointed with her father and was willing to turn against him to fight for Lide."

Yue Ning answered and turned to look at Yue Baohua. Yue Baohua was facing the wall with his back shaking.

She wiped her eyes herself: "Sorry, can we stop here today? I need to take a break."

Sophie has worked at the TV station for so many years and has many connections. She came over and said, "Ningning is afraid of rumors spreading, so she made this clarification. Please understand that no matter how strong and calm she is, she is only an 18-year-old girl."

Sophie asked everyone to leave, and Yue Ning went over to hug her grandfather: "Grandpa, it's all over. It's all over, okay!"

Yue Baohua hugged the child and cried: "Ningning! You should have told me the first time."

Yue Ning hugged him and said, "Telling you this will only make you more miserable. There is no other benefit."

Yue Baohua wiped her tears, pulled up her granddaughter's arm, and looked at the scar that was no longer noticeable. The child always talked about how many people in Xiaoyanggou helped her, and rarely talked about the hardships she encountered, but... Yue Baohua's eyes blurred again.

Yue Ning took a tissue and wiped her grandfather's tears: "She got herself into trouble after all. Moreover, Cui Huishu did this today. Hong Kong is an Anglo-American legal system with a jury system. Public opinion will affect the final verdict. Whether the jury is mostly female or male, she will be hated. Evildoers will be punished by God."

Women will empathize with Mrs. Cui and the Cui sisters, and feel sorry for her. Men may not empathize with her father, but they will definitely empathize with Cui Jiachang. Moreover, after Yu Wanmei is sentenced, she will have to serve her sentence. What is the prison like in Hong Kong in this era? If she goes in, it is hard to say whether she can get out.

Yue Baohua realized that the child called the TV station not just to avoid rumors, but to create public opinion and influence the jury's decision?
