Su Ning hummed in agreement, signaling Ya Ya to leave, leaving only her and Su Xincheng in the office.
The mother and daughter sat so calmly; it seemed like they hadn't done so in all these years.
For four years, Su Xincheng hadn't gone to see her, so how could they possibly be sitting together chatting!
"I misunderstood you."
Su Xincheng's first words surprised Su Ning.
Su Ning did not answer. She watched as Su Xincheng filled a bowl with hot soup and brought it to her.
"It's a bit hot." Su Ning didn't take it. She looked down at the light bone broth, smelled its aroma, and really wanted to drink it.
This was made by Su Xincheng!
"Hmm, we'll drink later." Su Xincheng smiled, then softened her voice, "Four years ago, it was Momo who plagiarized your work."
"I……"
Su Xincheng didn't know what to say, and she looked at Su Ning apologetically.
"Oh!" Su Ning smiled slightly, a rare occurrence that Su Xincheng understood.
"You believed it!"
Four years ago, when the video evidence was presented to her, she didn't actually believe it.
Because she is his daughter!
Or perhaps it was his daughter; she believed what He Ru and Qiao Yimo said.
It's not that I don't believe in Ningning's skill and talent, it's that I don't believe in the genes left by that man.
That reason is quite ridiculous.
"Ningning, I'm sorry." Su Xincheng's voice faded. Now that she knew she was wrong, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
She no longer knows how to get along with this daughter.
I shouldn't have disbelieved you.
Su Xincheng spoke again, her gaze falling on Su Ning's immobile legs, and she reached out to grasp Su Ning's.
Su Ning saw the moisture in Su Xincheng's eyes but remained silent.
Su Xincheng believed that she hadn't plagiarized Qiao Yimo's work four years ago, but Su Ning wasn't so happy.
So much time has passed, my heart is already broken. Going back to apologize and feel guilty will only make the rift between us disappear.
"Ningning, from now on, Mom will take good care of you."
"No."
Su Ning pulled her own hand out from Su Xincheng's grasp. "I've been doing just fine all these years without your care."
On the contrary, returning to Nancheng and repeatedly encountering Su Xincheng only made her feel worse.
"Ningning".
Looking at her empty palms, Su Xincheng looked up at Su Ning with tears in her eyes, "I know I've broken your heart."
"Four years ago, when I learned you had a car accident, I wanted to come back."
She was stunned when she received the call while she was on the island.
While Su Ning was undergoing emergency surgery, she stayed alone in the hotel's music room for a long time.
How could she not care about the flesh that had fallen from her body! It was just that on that day, she received another piece of news.
"So, you'll believe what I say from now on."
Su Xincheng nodded solemnly without giving it much thought.
Su Ning smiled, turned to look out the window, and said in a softer voice, "Four years ago, I was resting at home when Qiao Zhentian suddenly barged into my room."
After saying the first sentence, Su Xincheng's expression changed. She looked at Su Ning with some confusion and bewilderment.
Why bring up things from the past?
"He said that Gu Jingchen had dumped me, and all the men in Nancheng knew that. Plus, with the plagiarism scandal, no good man would want me. He suggested that I should just be with him!"
"Ningning!"
Su Xincheng spoke up, annoyed that she didn't want to hear any of this.
Su Ning didn't stop. She looked at Su Xincheng's face, which was beginning to show anger, and curled the corners of her lips as she continued, "I hit his shoulder with the bedside lamp and took the opportunity to escape from the room. That's when I ran into Qiao Yimo."
