In the early morning, the sunlight gently pours down on the entire city, waking people from their deep sleep.
Early risers yawn as they buy breakfast. Children hurry along on their bicycles, their bells ringing occasionally.
After working through the entire night, Chen Fu was exhausted and sleepy.
He tilted his head back and dozed off for a short while in the back seat. He didn't open his eyes again until the driver took him to the hospital.
After getting his porridge from the cafeteria, Shen Fu made his way to the ward.
Upon entering, the ward was extremely quiet.
Aside from the beeping of the medical equipment by the bed, if you listen carefully, you can faintly hear two even breathing sounds.
Grandma Chen lay peacefully on the hospital bed, her expression kind. Ning Wan rested on the bed next to her, on the bed occupied by a family member.
She curled up in a ball, like a small animal in the forest, extremely insecure.
Looking at the quilt that had fallen to the ground, Shen Fu put the porridge on the table.
He went over, picked up the blanket, and gently covered Ning Wan with it, but this action unexpectedly woke her up from her sleep.
Ning Wan opened her bleary eyes and slowly got up: "Aman, you're back..."
Shen Fu sat down beside her and said softly, "Yes, I'm back."
"I brought you breakfast, would you like to eat something first?"
As her hazy consciousness gradually returned, Ning Wan noticed the dark circles under Chen Fu's eyes and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch them: "Did you stay up late last night?"
"Yes." Shen Fu didn't hide anything: "The matter is a bit tricky, and it involves quite a few people."
"Then you should also take care of yourself and get some rest."
The words of concern slipped out unconsciously, leaving both Ning Wan and Shen Fu stunned.
This was the first time since that night that the two of them had spoken so calmly and cared about each other.
Shen Fu smiled slightly, the weariness in his eyes vanishing instantly: "Okay, I understand."
He held Ning Wan's hand, their fingers intertwined: "Eat first, then go back and rest for a while."
"I'm not tired."
"Wanwan, be good, listen to me." Shen Fu said softly, "Xiao Shu is still waiting for you to go home together. He must be terrified after what happened. Comfort him when you get back and get some rest. I'll come back later to relieve him."
“Grandma hasn’t woken up yet, and there’s nothing much going on at the hospital for now. I’ll call you if anything happens.” After that, Shen Fu added jokingly, “Besides, compared to taking care of Xiao Shu at home, I still think the hospital is quieter. After all, the way he cries is quite earth-shattering.”
Ning Wan was amused by him and teased, "If Xiao Shu finds out, you're in big trouble."
Shen Fu lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "So please ask Wanwan to keep this a secret for me."
The estrangement between the two seemed to dissolve quietly with these few words.
Ning Wanhui grasped Shen Fu's hand and said to him, "After this matter is over, I want to tell you my secret."
Shen Fu was taken aback at first, then a smile filled his eyes: "Okay."
...
After persuading Ning Wan to leave, Shen Fu did not lie down to rest.
He sat in the chair, silently observing the old man in the hospital bed for a long time.
Living alone, without relatives or friends.
She had one son, who went missing and the cause of death is unknown.
Their identity and purpose are unclear.
Such a person can almost be considered a dangerous individual.
Yet, this same person would care for him when he lost his memory and teach him how to make money by collecting recyclables.
Even more so, when Ning Yanshu was in danger, he risked his life to save her.
At first, Shen Fu thought that Grandma Chen was so reckless because she was thinking of her lost child.
However, the investigation results clearly showed that Grandma Chen did not have any children at all.
Even their so-called identity information is fake.
But why?
Why is she so good to him?
He had a rather bold idea in his mind that he was waiting to test.
Shen Fu did not hesitate. He stood up and plucked a white hair from Grandma Chen's head.
He then left the room and gently closed the door behind him.
It was at this moment that the old man on the hospital bed closed his eyes, his eyeballs trembling...
...
When Ning Jianshe was taken away by the police as a suspect, it happened suddenly.
He was taken away hastily in his pajamas without even having time to prepare anything.
Su Lin wanted to see him.
Unfortunately, during the trial, the detained prisoners were not allowed to see anyone.
Having exhausted all other options, Su Lin went to Ning You's villa.
What she didn't know was that Ning You had already moved to Ning Wan's neighborhood.
Su Lin was so angry that she trembled all over, so she went to the Lu residence and made a scene. She cried and demanded that Ning You come out to see her.
When Ning You and Lu Chen rushed back to the Lu residence, Su Lin was sitting on the sofa, crying and sobbing.
He was saying things like, "The hearts of parents are full of love and concern for their children."
Dai Shuying sat opposite her.
Since Ning You married Lu Chen three years ago, she hasn't had many dealings with the Ning family.
However, these few opportunities had already made her feel disgusted with Su Lin.
She regretted letting her in out of kindness.
It was fortunate that Lu Yan had taken Lu Huai'an out early in the morning. Otherwise, if the old man saw her, he would have been so angry that his high blood pressure would have flared up again.
Before Su Lin could even open her mouth, Ning You stormed upstairs to her room upon seeing her return.
She slammed the door shut, shook off Su Lin's hand, and, suppressing her anger, demanded, "What are you doing here?"
"Youyou, please save your father!"
Su Lin no longer cared about criticizing Ning You's attitude.
She sobbed and wiped away her tears, crying uncontrollably, "Your father has been arrested by the police. If we don't do something, he'll be sentenced to 10 years in prison!..."
"So what?" Ning You said coldly, "It's all his own fault."
Su Lin stared blankly at Ning You, somewhat unable to believe what she was saying: "Youyou, are you crazy? That's your father, your biological father."
Ning You laughed sarcastically: "Who's the one who's gone mad, me or you? When Dad sent people to kidnap Xiao Shu, did he ever think that she was also his blood relative, Wanwan's only child!"
"That's all because of your heartless sister!" Su Lin said bitterly. "She colluded with outsiders to seize your father's land in the south of the city. And she deliberately leaked our information to the media, making us suffer cyberbullying."
"Isn't it just because we didn't let her have the child and didn't let her be with Shen Fu? If she had said earlier that the other man was Shen Fu, I would have been eager for her to marry into the Shen family."
"I think she's deliberately going against the Ning family." Su Lin's disgust was undisguised. "She's always been like this, she's the Ning family's jinx, a curse!"
The more Su Lin thought about it, the more convinced she became that it was true.
Look at the years when Ning Wan ran away from home; the Ning family's life became more and more prosperous.
But ever since Ning Wan came back, not only has Ning You lost her heart, but Ning Jianshe has also been having affairs with other women, and even the company's performance has been getting worse and worse.
And now, it has even implicated Ning Jianshe, who is now facing imprisonment.
"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have given birth to her in the first place!"
