Chapter 5 He is getting engaged
Cheng Wanwan didn't hear a word the other party said.
The words "An Ning is back" kept filling my ears.
"Click!"
The goblet in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces in an instant.
The woman tightly grasped the phone that had been hung up in her hand, her eyes brimming with unconcealable hatred.
An Ning is back!
She has already disappeared, why is she coming back!
......
Zhao Li was shocked when An Ning returned to the hotel where she was staying, all wet.
"Oh my God! What's going on?"
Zhao Li quickly brought a dry towel over to wipe her hair, her tone full of worry, "Miss An, why did you come back in the rain? You'll catch a cold!"
An Ning's shoulder-length hair was casually tied into a low bun, and now she simply took it out to wipe the dripping ends. She didn't have much hair, but fortunately, her hair quality was good.
Zhao Li wiped the rain off her body with a towel and said casually, "Miss An, I think your hair used to be so beautiful. It was waist-length and looked like seaweed. Why did you cut it off?"
An Ning paused while wiping her hair, her back stiffening a little.
Zhao Li noticed something was wrong and said quickly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look at your photo. Xianxian accidentally found it, and I took a second look at it when I was putting the photo away."
In those photos, Zhao Li could tell at a glance that it was the An Ning of the past.
Her palm-sized oval face was the same as it is now, delicate and pretty, without any makeup.
The long hair falls down like seaweed, adding a touch of coolness.
Miss An in the photo is still as beautiful as she is now, but she seems to be happier in the photo, with sparkling eyes and a gentle light.
But now Miss An has an indescribable sadness.
"It's okay." An Ning wiped her hair, lowered her eyes and said calmly, "It's inconvenient to carry the strings, so I cut them off."
"Mother!"
A tender and soft voice suddenly sounded, and then a small figure ran over from the next room. The white and chubby little hand held An Ning's hand, "Mom is back!"
"Mom's back." Seeing the fair and tender child, An Ning's eyes lit up a little. She squatted down and asked with a smile, "Was Xianxian good today?"
"Good boy!" Three-year-old An Xian had pretty and tender facial features, and a pair of big eyes with distinct black and white on his white and round face. He was about to hug An Ning when he was stopped by her.
"Mommy's body is wet. Can I hug you after taking a bath?"
The child was very sensible. He kissed her on both cheeks, nodded, and said softly, "Okay!"
......
The shower head sprayed warm water, creating a mist on the small, blurry square glass window of the bathroom.
The narrow mirror was covered with mist, which accumulated and dripped slowly, leaving a series of winding water marks, blurring the woman's fair and exquisite body.
Warm water washed over the light green ribbon on the left wrist, and crystal water droplets formed on the edge of the ribbon.
The fingertips gently pulled the ribbon and it slipped from the wrist, revealing several hideous scars of varying depths that were shocking.
An Ning stared at the scars, each one of which was evidence of her missing Lu Xiyan during the past four years.
Hot tears rolled down from her eyes, and when she closed them lightly, her mind was filled with his cold and indifferent gaze.
She had never told anyone in four years.
She really, really missed him.
I miss his embrace and his passionate kiss.
She thought of him whispering her name over and over in her ear, "An Ning... Ning Ning..."
Those photos she put away were the ones he once treasured.
She took it with her when she left.
He once loved her long hair very much. He always liked to stroke it over and over again and lower his head to smell the fragrance of her hair.
In fact, her long seaweed-like hair was not cut off.
All of them fell off.
In the fourth month after leaving him, she started losing her hair crazily, in large clumps.
An Ning raised her head and let the hot water wash away the tears on her face.
At night, she held the little guy in her arms, stared at his handsome eyes and eyebrows, and lowered her head to place a light kiss on his forehead.
Strings.
Western banquet, Western banquet.
......
The next day.
As the sun rose, An Ning returned to Xiyuan Village, Linyang District.
In the prosperous Jinghai, there is a poor area where the sun never shines, which is the urban village of Xiyuan Village in Linyang District.
The people here are poor and have low living standards, but they are content with the status quo and enjoy the fruits of their labor. They always hope to become rich through demolition and reach the pinnacle of their lives.
This is where An Ning lived for twenty-two years.
Seventeen years to be exact.
At the door of the small house, when Li Chunfang saw her for the first time, his old and tired eyes were stunned for a few seconds, and then he burst into tears.
"You are such a heartless person! How dare you come back!"
"Where have you been these past four years? You left without a word. Where on earth have you been?"
Li Chunfang burst into tears and then hugged An Ning tightly. "I raised you after all. Even if I'm not your biological mother, I still raised you. How could you be so stubborn? You didn't come back once in these four years! You had to wait until I was dying to come back, didn't you?!"
An Ning looked around the three-acre land where the sun never shone. It hadn't changed much from four years ago. It was still dim, narrow, old, and full of suffocation.
There was just a black and white portrait in the main room.
It belongs to her adoptive father, An Tianhua.
"Your father passed away two years ago." Li Chunfang wiped her tears. "It was caused by alcoholism. He got drunk and passed away."
An Ning glanced at the man's portrait, then turned to look at Li Chunfang, "Pack your things and get ready to go to the hospital. I've already completed the hospitalization procedures."
Her voice was calm, her eyes were calm, and Li Chunfang asked, "Your father died, didn't you burn incense for him?"
An Ning pretended not to hear and continued, "The doctor said that the surgery can be arranged as soon as possible. They will do some tests in the next few days. Please cooperate with the doctor."
"An Ning!" Li Chunfang looked at her in disbelief and patted her on the shoulder. "Mom is talking to you, can you hear me? You haven't been back for four years, and you don't even react when you see your father's portrait? Not only do you kowtow, you won't even burn a stick of incense. Do you have any conscience?"
Li Chunfang's strength was not strong, but An Ning still felt pain.
Her eyes suddenly turned red. "Should I thank him then? Thank him for suffocating me by owing me hundreds of thousands in gambling debts? Thank him for forcing me to marry for a betrothal gift of hundreds of thousands? Or thank him for accepting money from the Lu family without my knowledge, making me lose face in the Lu family!"
An Ning's eyes were red, and she looked stubborn as she tried not to let the tears fall. "No, I also want to thank you for buying me back from the human traffickers. I still don't know who my biological parents are!"
Li Chunfang was speechless, opened her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes.
A tear fell from her eyes. An Ning immediately raised her hand to wipe it away and turned to enter Li Chunfang's room.
"Pack your things and go to the hospital." She opened the simple wardrobe, her tone returning to its previous calmness. "I'll pack your clothes for you, and you take your daily necessities with you."
The mother and daughter fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Li Chunfang stood at the door carrying a bag of daily necessities in a cloth bag. Looking at An Ning who was collecting clothes, she lowered her eyes, her face pale and stubborn.
"peaceful......"
Li Chunfang said hesitantly, "I saw Xiao Lu on the news."
Hearing this, An Ning paused holding the clothes, then heard her continue, "It seems he's getting engaged to the daughter of the Cheng Group... next month."
