Back then, Chen Zilan had asked Ning Qingwan about the man's identity several times, but Ning Qingwan never told her, nor did she introduce him to someone. She only saw Ning Qingwan and Gu Sinan together a few times...
She instinctively thought that the man was Gu Sinan.
So when he later learned that Ning Yichu was Ning Qingwan's daughter, he made a special appointment to meet Gu Sinan.
"Gu Sinan said it wasn't him. He and my mother just knew each other and they didn't have that kind of relationship..." Ning Yichu said tentatively.
Chen Zilan pinched her brows and said suddenly, "So what Gu Sinan said was true? He also told me in person that he had no relationship with your mother in that regard, but I didn't believe it. I just thought he was lying. I didn't expect... Chuchu, your mother stopped you and Li Lingyang from being together not because of the feud between the two families, but because you were..."
As soon as these words came out, Ning Yichu's heart instantly tightened.
She smiled weakly and changed the subject, "Aunt, I want to ask how you got the pocket watch you gave me?"
The person on the pocket watch was not Ning Qingwan, but Yu Huaiqing!
"I found the pocket watch not long after I received Qingwan's letter. I was worried something might have happened to her, so I went looking for her. I couldn't find her, only this pocket watch. I guess she had been sent to a mental hospital by then. I suspect the person on the pocket watch was her stand-in. I kept it away because I didn't want her to be upset."
Ning Yichu couldn't help but recall the scene when he first gave this pocket watch to Ning Qingwan.
She was quite out of control at the time.
At first Ning Yichu thought there was something else going on, but in fact, it was because the person in the pocket watch was the original owner whom she had replaced for many years.
How ridiculous, Li Jianbin, she got pregnant before marriage for this man and became a shame to the Ning family. In the end, he was nice to her only because of another woman.
"Chu Chu, I have kept a lot of things from those days. Qingwan also wrote you a lot of letters. If you want them, I have sorted them out today and will let my son bring them to you." Chen Zilan looked at Ning Yichu with concern.
Ning Yichu nodded slightly. Even if there were many faults, Ning Qingwan had already left...
Ning Yichu still wanted to keep as many of her things as possible.
After bidding farewell to Chen Zilan, Ning Yichu walked towards the crowded street. The street was bustling with people coming and going, but she was the only one who was lonely.
She finally got the truth she had been longing for, but why did she feel so empty?
Li Lingyang, who had been with her for so long, was her half-brother...
Who can accept this?
She walked towards Junyue Mansion in a daze.
She didn't know how long she walked, but when she was near the residential area, Mo Boyu, who was driving over to deliver something, blocked her right there.
"Chuchu."
Mo Boyu was still holding something in his hand. When he saw her, he put the thing down, grabbed her wrist, and sat down on a public chair next to him.
He frowned slightly on his handsome face and looked at her seriously, "What's wrong with you?"
"……nothing."
Ning Yichu sniffed, but couldn't help feeling depressed. He sat on the chair with his eyes swaying blankly.
Shen Zilan didn't tell Mo Boyu about this, and he didn't know the current situation. After sighing, he handed her a small bag and said, "My mother told me to give these things to you."
When this was mentioned, Ning Yichu reacted.
She carefully looked at the things in the bag, among which there was something that looked like a diary.
She wanted to reach out her hand, but was a little afraid.
Once the past was uncovered, it was like Pandora's box. She had been pursuing it for so long, but this was the result she got. She didn't want to face it...
But in the end, she still took out the diary and flipped through it silently.
The night breeze was blowing gently, and Mo Boyu sat quietly with her. Ning Yichu took the old and yellowed diary under the dim street light and wrote Ning Qingwan's name on the first page. Only then did she realize that her mother also had such a beautiful handwriting.
Ning Qingwan has been writing in her diary.
The ordinary life was stirred up by meeting Li Jianbin.
Those passionate loves seemed to be able to be conveyed to Ning Yichu through words, but she only felt... extremely disgusted and uncomfortable!
Li Jianbin is a wolf or tiger in human skin!
There was a long period of time in between when I didn’t remember anything, and then I found out that I was pregnant…
I just found out today that I'm pregnant. I'm so happy! I touched my belly several times a day, but I was afraid of being seen. Although I know the baby is still very small, it's amazing to have such a tiny life growing in my belly.
…
I can feel my baby's movements more and more. I'm looking forward to the birth of my baby. Whether it's a boy or a girl, I will love my baby forever. My baby, my baby, I'm looking forward to seeing you.
…
[Baby, when you grow up, will you be ashamed of your mother getting pregnant before marriage? Now you and I are the only ones related by blood... But baby, don't be afraid. You have my love and your father's love. We will always love and protect you.]
…
There are many more to come.
Those words, through the passage of time, conveyed to her all the worries, anxieties, joy and expectations that Ning Qingwan had when she became pregnant with her.
Ning Yichu's eyes felt sore.
Finally, she couldn't help crying.
"Chu Chu." Mo Boyu felt distressed when he saw her, and finally he sighed and couldn't help but hug her in his arms.
She cried louder and louder, and the emotions that had been suppressed from her youth burst out, and she could hardly bear it.
Her slender body trembled slightly. Mo Boyu hugged her tighter, his big hand gently and soothingly stroking her back, and said softly, "Chu Chu, I'm here."
He repeated this sentence over and over again without getting tired of it.
Ning Yichu's crying gradually became softer.
It's too late to say anything now, Ning Qingwan is already dead.
These belated truths are powerless to change reality in the slightest...
"Chu Chu, I don't know why you're so sad, but you still have me and your children. Don't be too sad, okay?"
Mo Boyu's voice was gentle as he coaxed her softly.
Ning Yichu just shook his head.
She didn't know what to say. Her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and her vision was blurry...
The price of such truth is too high.
"You go back first..." Ning Yichu's voice was nasal and sounded a little muffled.
His eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and there were tears in them.
"Go back early and don't let your aunt worry..."
As soon as she finished saying this and Mo Boyu was about to refuse, he heard a male voice questioning her.
"What are you doing?"
Ning Yichu subconsciously raised his eyes, but saw Li Lingyang in a suit, looking dusty, with a stern face as cold as an iceberg, and his black eyes were like a deep pool, looking at him coldly.
That handsome face she was familiar with radiated a hint of coldness, and it seemed as if his eyes were about to burst...
Ning Yichu wanted to escape.
She didn't know how to face it, she and Li Lingyang were siblings.
She stood up suddenly, turned around and tried to leave, but Li Lingyang suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Ning Yichu trembled all over!
