"Grandpa Tang, you don't need to serve her food. She'll be going back soon and won't be eating here," Ning Yuan suddenly said, stopping Grandpa Tang's actions and interrupting his attempt to reveal his achievements.
Old Tang was stunned. This was...
Ning Jinyun's face immediately turned ashen, her anger flaring: "Ning Yuan, what do you mean? You ungrateful wretch, you think you're so great!"
This is a slap in the face to her in front of everyone!
Director Ge coughed coldly: "Ahem."
Ning Jinyun instantly swallowed back all the harsh words.
Then, veins bulged on her forehead, and tears welled up in her eyes as if she were suppressing immense pain: "You...you...you really don't intend to acknowledge me? I raised you with such care, feeding you every drop of water..."
"If you're going to keep crying and whining without saying what you really want, then go back," Ning Yuan interrupted her expressionlessly.
She paused, then gave a forced smile: "Anyway, I'm just trash that you and Grandma picked up."
When I was little, I always asked adults where she came from, and many of my parents said they picked her up from the garbage dump.
Ning Jinyun also said this with a look of disgust. Now that I think about it, well, she really was picked up from a garbage dump.
Ning Yuan's words were like a bomb, thrown out so decisively and without any restraint.
He revealed his most undesirable shortcomings and Ning Jinyun's pride in front of both familiar and unfamiliar people.
The whole table fell silent for a moment. Rong Zhaonan looked at Ning Yuan's expression, which carried a sense of composure bordering on self-abandonment.
It's like she no longer wants what she once cherished most.
"You...you..." Under everyone's gaze, Ning Jinyun's face turned completely liver-colored.
Director Ge frowned, looking suspicious, but his hand twisted Ning Jinyun's arm under the table.
Ning Jinyun jolted in pain, pointed at Ning Yuan with trembling hands, and cried out in bitter anger, "You, you unfilial daughter, how dare you disown me! May you be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
She was truly brought to tears by Ning Yuan's words. Bai Jin was right; Ning Yuan was determined not to accept that she was her biological mother!
"Then dare you swear on the life and death and future of your entire family, except for Ning Yuan? If you were Ning Yuan's biological mother, would you all die a horrible death and your entire family line die out?" Old Mrs. Xia suddenly interrupted, glaring fiercely at Ning Jinyun.
Ning Jinyun's screams froze; she really... didn't dare!
If swearing oaths were effective, the police would be useless, but she simply couldn't bring herself to utter such vicious curses against herself.
Director Ge immediately smoothed things over: "Alright, comrades who grew up under the red flag of spring are all staunch atheists and materialists, how could they say such things!"
Old Mrs. Xia glared at Director Ge, then suddenly grabbed a shoe sole and threw it at Ning Jinyun's face.
"Bullshit! She refused to swear an oath, but she's spouting curses at Xiao Ning. Would a mother curse her own daughter to be struck by lightning and die a horrible death? Get out!"
Ning Jinyun, who considered herself a cultured person who had attended junior high school, never expected Miss Xia to act so rustically, throwing a shoe at her face.
She was thrown right at the face, leaving a huge shoe print!
The people at the table were stunned, never expecting that Old Lady Xia would take action so suddenly.
"You...you...Ning Yuan, you just watched your mother get bullied!" Ning Jinyun screamed, covering her face, and reached out to overturn the table.
Ning Yuan pressed down on the table without any emotion, preventing her from overturning the dishes: "Mom, if you don't explain clearly what you want to do, I can't help you if you get kicked out by Grandma Xia."
As she spoke, Granny Xia grabbed another shoe sole and swung it at Ning Jinyun again, yelling, "Get out! My family doesn't want this kind of filthy thing!"
Ning Jinyun could only get up in a flustered and disarray and run towards the door, yelling, "You old hag, you've gone mad!"
The old lady chased after them with great vigor and determination.
Upon seeing this, Director Ge's eyes twitched. This useless piece of trash.
She glanced at Ning Yuan: "Ning Yuan, your mother has a bad temper, but it's hard being an adult. Children should be understanding. She raised four children on her own. You will be a mother in the future. Aren't you heartbroken that your children treat you like this?"
Rong Zhaonan looked at her with a cold gaze: "Whether my partner is considerate or not is none of your business, an outsider."
Upon seeing this, Director Ge's expression stiffened: "Comrade Rong, I am a good friend of Ning Yuan's mother. I was just trying to persuade my niece."
After saying that, she didn't dare to look at Rong Zhaonan, but instead looked at Ning Yuan: "Ning Yuan, your mother begged and pleaded with everyone she knew, and spent money to find you a good job that allows you to be transferred back to the provincial capital. I hope you won't let her down. Mother and daughter don't hold grudges overnight."
Then, she stood up, nodded to Rong Zhaonan, and turned to leave.
The mother and daughter have completely broken off relations, so there's no point in her staying.
...
Director Ge hurriedly found Ning Jinyun hiding behind a tree on the way out of the village, and saw that she looked disheveled.
Her eyes turned cold: "Ning Jinyun, look at the stupid thing you've done! You didn't even tell Comrade Qin and me that Ning Yuan isn't your biological daughter!"
This trip was a waste of time!
Ning Jinyun wiped the blood from her nose, gritted her teeth, and looked in the direction of the village: "Director Ge, don't worry, even if that brat isn't my biological daughter, I still owe her a debt of gratitude. Just you wait and see, I definitely won't let her stay by Comrade Rong's side forever!"
That brat must know Rong Zhaonan's background, which is why even transferring her back to a good unit in the provincial capital couldn't tempt her.
Once back in the provincial capital and under Director Ge's control, I can both complete the task given by Qin Hongxing and do Director Ge a great favor.
"As long as you think she's suitable, I will definitely hand her over to you." Ning Jinyun looked at Director Ge with a mixture of flattery and determination.
If it were her daughter Meimei, she would kill herself but still make Meimei cling to the coattails of a wealthy young man in Beijing and have him bear her ten or eight children.
The whole family will eventually rise to power, who cares who Qin Hongxing is!
But it just so happens that Ning Yuan, that little bitch, has run into this, so she has to make sure this doesn't happen, no matter what means she has to use!
“She doesn’t even care about recognizing you. You get beaten up, and she just watches the show.” Director Ge even felt that Ning Yuan was instigating Grandma Xia to take action.
She narrowed her eyes: "I do think she's suitable, and not bad, but I'm mainly giving Comrade Qin face. Otherwise, there are plenty of people who want to marry into my family. She's a divorced woman, and an adopted daughter at that. What is she anyway!"
She wouldn't have bothered coming all the way to the countryside if she hadn't made a deal with Qin Hongxing.
Ning Jinyun nodded vigorously, a dark glint in her eyes: "Don't worry, don't worry, she will definitely divorce Comrade Rong. She doesn't care about me, but her father has always been good to her, and she listens to her father the most."
She was unwilling to go to the countryside in Ning Meimei's place, but it was her father who intervened.
...
When Old Mrs. Xia returned, grumbling and swearing, she finally came back in her cloth shoes.
Ning Yuan had already reheated the food: "Grandma, sit down and eat. Don't let irrelevant people affect your appetite."
Old Tang was still in a daze. Ning Yuan handed him a bowl, and he ate it.
After all, I just heard some juicy gossip about my apprentice, and I haven't quite processed it yet.
Grandma Xia picked up her bowl, glanced at her, and said, "You little brat, you deliberately revealed that you're not your mother's biological daughter just now, because you don't want us to have anything to do with your family?"
Ning Yuan paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
She already had a mess at home, and Ning Jinyun was someone who would push her luck.
But she would never allow Old Man Tang, Granny Xia, or Rong Zhaonan to make concessions to her family because of her.
Rong Zhaonan narrowed his long, narrow eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Not their biological child...
Chen Chen failed to find out.
Could this be the source of the inconsistencies between her appearance and her social standing?
Her background... is problematic.
