After obtaining her health certificate from the hospital, Ning Wan headed straight to the shopping mall.
Ning Wan wasn't just casually mentioning the gift she gave Aman before leaving.
When Ning Yanshu went missing, Ning Wan had thought about it. If she had provided him with a communication device, she wouldn't have panicked so much at the time.
And Aman.
Although he is an adult, he has lost his memory and is somewhat mentally impaired.
Since she took the initiative to take care of Aman, Ning Wan has an obligation to take good care of him until his family finds him.
Because I had done my research beforehand, the process of buying the gift went very smoothly.
Aside from the price, it's a bit expensive...
...
But the sales assistant said that this was their best-selling style.
Almost everyone has one.
So even after gritting her teeth and breaking her molars, Ning Wan still gritted her teeth and bought it.
After buying the gift, Ning Wan didn't linger.
As she was heading back the way she came, she unexpectedly heard someone call her from behind: "Wanwan?!"
Ning Wan turned around subconsciously.
Only a man and a woman could be seen standing side by side not far from Ning Wan.
Just then, a children's stage performance was being held in the center of the mall, and the lights shone on them at just the right moment.
The two carried lamps on their backs, their figures surrounded by light.
Tall and elegant, with graceful bearing.
As wisps of smoke rose from the stage, the two walking side by side appeared as if they were celestial beings descending to earth.
As they slowly approached and saw each other's faces clearly, Ning Wan suddenly revealed an expression of sudden realization.
To be able to appear in the world of a novel with such dazzling brilliance from the very beginning.
Aren't these the parents of the female protagonist in the novel?
The female lead's mother, Ning You, and her father, Lu Chen...
...
After many years apart, the scene of sisters reuniting and crying in each other's arms, as is common in TV dramas, did not appear.
Ning Wan naturally knew why.
In the original owner's memory, she and this older sister never had a good relationship.
Upon seeing Ning Wan clearly and confirming that she hadn't mistaken her for someone else, Ning You's expression suddenly darkened.
She pushed aside Lu Chen, who was protecting her, and quickly walked to Ning Wan's side.
"Ning Wan!"
She grabbed Ning Wan's arm as if afraid she would run away.
The grip tightened, and his face wore an extremely serious expression.
However, upon closer inspection, Ning Wan could see the redness in the corners of her eyes and the uncontrollably trembling hands gripping her wrists.
Ning Wan's heart trembled.
She felt that Ning You might not actually hate her younger sister as much as described in the novel...
...
"I'm asking you a question, answer me!"
Ning You's out-of-control shouts brought Ning Wan back to her senses.
Looking at the woman whose features bore a resemblance to her own, Ning Wan was speechless for a moment.
Lu Chen also walked to Ning Shu's side and comforted her, "Youyou, don't get agitated."
It was at this moment that Ning Wan noticed Ning You's protruding belly.
Lu Chen tried to gently place his hand on Ning You's arm, but she rudely shook him off.
Right now, Ning Youman only has eyes for Ning Wan in front of her.
She held Ning Wan's hand tightly, refusing to let go no matter what: "Where have you been all these years? Why haven't you contacted your family?"
“Do you know how worried your family is about you? It's been five years, and we haven't heard from you at all. We even thought you had already…”
Ning Wan pursed her lips.
She mimicked the original owner's tone, her expression indifferent, and said, "Is there still anyone in my family who cares about me?"
"Of course! My parents...they..."
Ning You was anxious to explain.
But when he recalled what Ning Wan's parents had done after she disappeared, he fell silent.
With a slight loosening of her grip, Ning Wan silently withdrew her hand.
The Ning family was not wealthy, but they were comfortably well-off.
The father, Ning Jianshe, was an ordinary office worker, and the mother, Su Lin, was a housewife.
Only Ning Wan and Ning You, the two sisters, lived in the house.
Therefore, the parents had high expectations for the two sisters.
They scrimped and saved to raise and educate their children. The desire for their sons to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes was amplified to an extreme degree in their lives.
However, the same upbringing resulted in very different personalities for the two sisters.
This also meant that Ning You and Ning Wan were constantly being compared.
From childhood to adulthood, Ningyou has always had excellent academic performance and strong social skills.
Although she may be a bit aloof, outstanding girls always attract more admirers.
However, one can look back at the original owner.
He has poor grades, a gloomy personality, is not good at communicating with others, and does not know how to please his parents and teachers.
Over time, Ning Jianshe and Su Lin chose to spend more time focusing on nurturing Ning You.
At home, the original owner was like an abandoned, invisible person.
Its presence is extremely low.
She was neither valued nor liked by anyone.
No matter what they do, they fail to attract anyone's attention.
Including her parents.
One Mother's Day, both sisters prepared gifts for Su Lin.
Ning You's gift was carefully treasured and preserved. But the original owner's gift appeared in a garbage dump not far from her home the very next day.
Ning Wan sometimes couldn't help but think that this was probably the tragedy of a supporting character in a novel.
As the parents of the female protagonist in the novel, Ning You naturally grew up with the halo of the main characters.
The original owner of this body was the villain's mother.
There is no need to write too much about a minor character who dies young, appears very few times in the book, and whose descriptions rarely exceed 1,000 words.
Her greatest role in the book is perhaps simply to give birth to Ning Yanshu and torment him.
When the original owner became pregnant unexpectedly, Ning Jianshe and Su Lin were very angry.
Su Lin, in particular, said many terrible things to curse her.
He dragged her to the hospital to abort the child, disregarding everything else.
The original owner naturally refused.
While pretending to change clothes, she escaped by climbing out of the window...
...
In the distance, on a circular stage, children dressed in brightly colored costumes danced joyfully.
However, the atmosphere on Ning Wan's side was somewhat tense.
Lu Chen suggested that the two sisters find a quiet coffee shop to have a good talk.
But Ning Wan declined, saying, "I'm sorry, it's almost time to pick up the child, I have to go."
Ning You looked at the two gift bags she was carrying, then at Ning Wan: "You gave birth to the child?"
She even had two more?! ...
...
The two looked at each other, neither willing to back down.
In the end, Ning You gave in.
She exhaled a breath of stale air and sighed, "Wanwan, you may hate us or resent us for what happened back then. But we did it all for your own good. You were so young then..."
“You’re only 19 years old, you have a bright future ahead of you. Besides, you can’t even take care of yourself, how can you shoulder the responsibility of raising a child?”
