"Ling Xin, how was your day?" He Hongmei asked with a smile.
"It's nothing special." Dou Lingxin loosened his school uniform tie and slumped onto the soft sofa, his originally gentle and refined expression instantly turning cold.
"Auntie, have you heard anything about Ning Hongxing these past few days?"
Throughout the school, everyone was saying that she was dead and had returned as a ghost to seek revenge.
He didn't believe it, not a single word of it.
Ning Hongxing was timid by nature; how could she dare to seek revenge?
Otherwise, if he bullied her, she wouldn't just cry and not know how to complain.
Little did Dou Lingxin know that it wasn't that Ning Hongxing didn't want to complain, but rather that even if she did, no one would pay any attention to her.
She told her mother that her mother would only tell her to endure it. Perhaps in He Hongmei's heart, she wished that Ning Hongxing could be with Dou Lingxin, so that her position in the family would be more secure.
And if she went to tell the teachers, they wouldn't believe her.
It might even make her classmates bully her even more.
Aside from crying, she really didn't know what else to do.
Her only salvation is her brother. She is still waiting for him. Once she gets into university, she will go to find him and never come back.
However, in her previous life, her life was frozen in her second year of high school.
"this???????"
He Hongmei was in a dilemma. She wanted to go see Ning Hongxing. After all, Ning Hongxing was her biological daughter. She had suffered so much, and it seemed a bit unreasonable for her not to go see her.
But Dou Fang didn't want her to go.
Dou Fang has always disliked Ning Hongxing.
A girl who is always crying and not cheerful or outgoing at all; people who don't know her might think that the Dou family is abusing her.
They provided her with good food and drink, yet she didn't know how to be grateful.
She even caused trouble at school. If it weren't for her personality, and all her classmates bullied her, she would definitely be the one with problems.
If you don't understand the principles behind reading, what's the point of reading at all?
Dou Fang had no idea that Ning Hongxing was being bullied so badly not only because of her weak nature, but also because of Dou Lingxin.
Of course, Dou Fang always felt that Ning Hongxing's grades were not good, but that was not the case.
Ning Hongxing's grades are among the best in the entire school.
In last month's provincial joint examination, she ranked first in the province with a score of nearly full marks.
Ning Hongxing knew perfectly well that her mother didn't want to know about such things, so she never mentioned it at home.
At the time, the principal and teachers publicly praised Ning Hongxing, which made even more people in the school dislike her.
Why should someone like her be able to get the top score in the entire province?
On what grounds?
Kindness can be easily taken advantage of; this is a perfect example.
They vented all their frustrations on Ning Hongxing.
Wasn't he number one in the whole school?
So what if we're number one in the province? They can still bully us whenever they want.
The reason the squad leader refused to save her was out of jealousy.
He didn't even rank in the top ten in the whole school this time. He resented Ning Hongxing for having better grades than him and for having an easier time studying. Therefore, he pretended not to see it.
However, the squad leader ultimately met a bad end.
Ning Hongxing is dead.
He was timid by nature and lived in the shadow of Ning Hongxing's death every day.
Even after he left school and got a job, the shadow still lingered.
He is afraid of the dark, afraid of blood, and sometimes even experiences chest tightness and shortness of breath.
I froze in fear the moment I saw a shadowy figure flash by.
Ning Hongxing's grades were so good that people were so jealous they wished she were dead, but Dou Fang and He Hongmei were not quite aware of this.
Of course, He Hongmei would occasionally remark that Ning Hongxing's grades were quite good in junior high school.
But they completely forgot.
Every time Ning Hongxing brought her report card home, Dou Fang would give Dou Lingxin a severe beating because their grades were so different.
He Hongmei would then pull her aside and give her a stern lecture, telling her not to do so well and overshadow Dou Lingxin. Over time, Ning Hongxing became unwilling to show her her report card anymore. Occasionally, when He Hongmei asked, she would simply say "It's alright," managing to cover it up.
In this way, Dou Lingxin's grades were considered quite good, Dou Fang was in a better mood, and He Hongmei was also satisfied.
"I haven't been there yet. You know I don't get along with Hongxing's biological father, so he wouldn't want to see me. Besides, she probably doesn't need me to visit her."
He Hongmei said with a smile, "This family needs me more."
"Auntie, Ning Hongxing is dead."
Dou Lingxin frowned; his sleep quality had been poor for the past few days.
Every time I close my eyes, I can see Ning Hongxing falling from the high-rise building.
Bright red blood spread, soaking his white shoes.
The bright red patch stimulated him.
"What did you say?" He Hongmei suddenly raised her voice.
"It seems that Ning Hongxing is dead. Some people at school say they saw Ning Hongxing's ghost."
"How could that be? No way." Her daughter is dead? And turned into a ghost? Could it be her ex-husband's doing? He didn't want to pay the medical bills, so he killed her.
He Hongmei suddenly jolted awake and turned to run outside.
"Auntie, where are you going?"
"I...I'm going to find Hongxing. She...she's in which hospital?" He Hongmei felt a chill run down her spine.
Her daughter is dead?
“We’re not entirely sure either, but someone saw Ning Hongxing’s ghost at the school. She’s come back for revenge.” A hint of fear flashed in Dou Lingxin’s eyes.
If he really comes back for revenge, he won't be able to escape it.
His stepmother didn't even know about this? Didn't Ning Hongxing's brother tell her?
Ning Hong remained hidden in the living room, listening to the conversation between the two, her hatred growing stronger in her eyes.
It's normal that Dou Fang doesn't like Ning Hongxing, and it's also normal that he doesn't care about her. After all, Ning Hongxing is at most a burden, and her relationship with Dou Fang isn't very good either.
But what about He Hongmei?
She's their biological mother?
She was completely indifferent to the fact that her own daughter's life was hanging in the balance.
Ning Hongze's eyes held an even stronger sarcasm. One wonders what their reactions would be if they saw Ning Hongxing.
Since hearing the devastating news, He Hongmei felt as if struck by lightning, and she was in a daze.
Ning Hong scoffed, "Now you know what it's like to suffer."
It hurt even more when Hongxing jumped off the building.
It's a shame he transmigrated at the wrong time.
If he could have done it sooner, he could have prevented it from happening.
In order to save Ning Hongxing's life, he even spent fifty points to buy her a Rejuvenation Pill.
Unfortunately, although the Rejuvenating Pill saved her life this time, she refused to regain consciousness.
The doctor said she was filled with resentment towards the world and had no attachment to it anymore.
Ning Hongze didn't actually like Ning Hongxing's personality.
It's too soft.
If it were him, he would pull Wang Xinyuan down with him, or at least take someone down with him. After all, Wang Xinyuan was the ringleader of the accomplices.
