“Ling Xin, do you know why she jumped off the building? Before, she was preoccupied with Ning Hongxing's medical expenses. When her ex-husband came forward, she was just relieved. It wasn't until now, when she heard the news that Ning Hongxing might be dead, that she thought to ask her why she jumped off the building.”
Hongxing had always been well-behaved, so why did she jump off the building for no reason?
"I was bullied at school and couldn't think straight for a while."
Dou Lingxin scratched his hair in frustration, making his neat hair into a mess.
He naturally wouldn't tell He Hongmei that he had his own reasons for doing so.
Even he himself didn't expect things to turn out this way.
Dou Lingxin himself couldn't explain his own thoughts.
If we say he likes Ning Hongxing, something seems to be missing.
But if you say he doesn't like it, he does enjoy teasing her, watching her neck turn red with anger, yet she stubbornly holds back from saying anything.
He wanted to test her limits, to see how much she could tolerate.
But he forgot.
What he considered trivial was a serious matter in the eyes of the girls who admired him. They didn't think Dou Lingxin would really fall for Ning Hongxing; they believed Ning Hongxing was shamelessly seducing Dou Lingxin.
They blamed all the mistakes on Ning Hongxing.
Therefore, they bullied and humiliated her, driving her to desperation, and she eventually jumped off a building.
I wonder if these people would regret it if they knew Dou Lingxin's true colors.
I'm afraid that won't happen. They'll just push all the blame onto Dou Lingxin. In short, no matter what the mistakes are, it's always someone else's fault.
This is the sadistic nature of human beings; of course, not everyone is bad.
Many people felt guilty after Ning Hongxing jumped to her death.
But this sense of guilt came too late.
When Ning Hong left the Dou family.
He Hongmei was still crying.
Dou Fang's expression was serious, but he showed no sign of sadness.
Perhaps his furrowed brows were simply a sign of embarrassment.
His stepdaughter's suicide by jumping off a building at school is, no matter how you look at it, an insult to him.
Ning Hong sighed softly and went to the hospital.
Ning Hongxing remained lying there quietly.
When she was asleep, her face looked quite peaceful.
“Hongxing, your brother is here. When will you wake up? When you wake up, your brother will take you home, back to our own home.”
Ning Hongze received a call from He Hongmei as soon as she left the hospital.
He stared coldly at the phone in his hand for a long while before finally pressing the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Hongze, I'm your mother, I...?"
"Didn't my mother die a long time ago?"
"Hongze?" He Hongmei choked, and then her voice was filled with a hint of sorrow and bitterness. Even though Ning Hongze couldn't see her face, she could still guess that her eyes must be red and her expression must be pitiful.
If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they would definitely think that he had done something to offend his mother, which was why she was so upset.
She's always been like this, always feeling wronged.
She makes this expression whenever things don't go her way.
“Hongze, your mother had her reasons back then.”
"My mother died a long time ago."
Ning Hong then repeated the same statement.
"Hongze, are you still holding a grudge against your mother? Why can't you understand me?"
“I understand you, that’s why I always tell people that my mother is dead.”
After He Hongmei and Ning's father, Ning Dahai, divorced, they each remarried.
The twins, a boy and a girl, each took one away.
They intended to never see each other again, but they couldn't resist the deep bond between siblings.
They keep in frequent contact with each other.
At first, Ning Dahai treated Ning Hongze fairly well, but Ning Hongze's good days came to an end after he had a child with his second wife.
Ning Dahai and his stepmother constantly beat and verbally abused him.
When his younger brother, born to his stepmother, fell down, his stepmother hit him with a rolling pin. He couldn't help but fight back, pushing his stepmother down and running away.
With only two hundred yuan on him, he fled all the way to the Dou family.
At that time, Dou and his son had gone out, leaving only He Hongmei and Ning Hongxing at home.
Ning Hongxing was overjoyed to see her beloved brother.
"Brother, are you going to come and live with us?"
"I—" Ning Hong was also a little excited. He thought the same thing. His father was no longer reliable, but wasn't there still his mother?
His mother couldn't just stand by and watch him get beaten to death by his father.
Ning Hong looked at He Hongmei with anticipation.
He Hongmei's face looked a little unpleasant. "Your brother is just here to visit you. Don't overthink it."
He Hongmei had Ning Hongze stay for a meal, and then sent him back.
“My family is also struggling financially and can’t afford to raise you. Besides, the Dou family already has a son. If I take you with me, they will definitely be unhappy. You don’t want your sister and me to have a hard life in the future, do you?”
With tears in her eyes, He Hongmei said these heartless words, "From now on, just consider me, your mother, dead."
After saying that, she rang the doorbell, handed him over to Ning Dahai, and turned to leave.
That day, he was beaten so badly that his skin was torn and he lay in bed for three days.
His father was hitting and scolding him at the same time.
His heart turned completely cold on that day.
After he recovered from his injury, he moved into the school dormitory.
For the first three months, Ning's father didn't even give him any pocket money.
In order to eat, he went to the cafeteria every day to help the cafeteria ladies. The ladies didn't pay him, but they provided him with three meals a day, which allowed him to survive.
Later, he gradually had more time to work and earn some pocket money, which helped him get through that difficult period.
After that, he went back and packed his things, and never went back again.
His father had a new son, so naturally he didn't care about him anymore.
It was as if he had never been a son.
She never gave him another penny.
The original body was still more powerful.
He compiled his notes into a book and sold it at the school.
It's selling quite well.
After all, the original owner was good at her studies.
Most importantly, his notes were quite good and easy to understand, which even his teachers praised, allowing him to save a small amount of money.
After that, he published some papers and essays, and it was through this accumulation that he was able to successfully buy that small house.
He had wanted to bring his younger sister over for a long time, but she was also doing very well in her studies. After thinking it over, he decided to wait until she finished high school. Who knew that something like this would happen?
"Alright, let's get down to business. What do you want from me? Are you trying to show some belated maternal love? Too bad, I'm way past the age where I need a mother."
"No, that's not what I meant, Hongze. Mom just wants to ask you, do you know where your sister is?"
