Chapter 349 Mary Sue's Sister-in-law (4)
"Chu'er, did you go shopping today?" Ning's mother seemed to know nothing and asked Ning Shichu in a gentle voice. She always spoke in such a soft and gentle voice, never seemed to be angry, and was always elegant and noble. Who would not praise her as the most perfect lady?
Ning Shichu didn't know that her mother knew about her encounter with Ning Zhendong, so she was a little surprised that her mother called her twice a day, but she still answered honestly: "Yes, I haven't been shopping for a long time. I came out for a walk today and I feel refreshed. It turns out that shopping is always a woman's spiritual motivation."
Ning's mother asked softly again, "Did you encounter any unexpected incidents while shopping?" She asked indirectly, wanting Ning Shichu to take the initiative to tell her about Ning's father.
But Ning Shichu disappointed her. He didn't mention Ning's father at all. Instead, he told her how many bags and skirts he bought today, what brands the bags were and what occasions they were suitable for... In short, he talked about shopping all the time, but didn't mention a single word about what Ning's mother wanted to hear.
Finally, Ning's mother couldn't help it and took the initiative to speak: "I heard from your Aunt Wang that she saw you outside the Qi family luxury store. Don't you have anything to tell your mother?"
Ning Shichu understood immediately. No wonder she called her and hinted at something. It turned out that she wanted to ask about Ning's father. So she immediately acted like a playboy and said, "What's the matter? Aunt Wang saw me, but I didn't see her. I'm so sorry... By the way, what do you want to know, Mom?"
Ning's mother was choked by her words. She didn't expect that her daughter had learned to play tricks on her. Could it be that she was really bribed by her father's money?
She immediately felt angry and wanted to yell at Ning Shichu, asking him if he was really an ungrateful person who helped her scumbag father hide the affair with his mistress. But she couldn't get angry at Ning Shichu because in everyone's eyes, she was a gentle, elegant and noble person who never got angry. Therefore, even though she knew that Ning Shichu was fooling her, she couldn't scold him.
But she couldn't stand her daughter betraying her, so she suppressed her anger and said, "Your Aunt Wang said that she saw you getting along well with your father's mistress and illegitimate child."
This is pure nonsense. Ning Shichu didn't take Ning's father's mistress and illegitimate son seriously at all. He didn't even look at them. How could he say that he "gets along well" with them?
In order to hold her daughter accountable for her mistakes, Ning's mother even lied.
Ning Shichu frowned and said, "Mom, I didn't even say a word to those two people. I ignored them all the time. How can I get along well with them? I just said a few words to Dad. Aunt Wang is lying with her eyes open, right? Isn't this trying to sow discord between me and you, Mom?"
Ning Shichu put the blame on Mrs. Wang without any psychological pressure. Who let Ning's mother involve her?
When Ning's mother heard Ning Shichu's words, her chest kept rising and falling with anger. She wanted to ask her daughter why she didn't severely punish the mistress and the illegitimate child, instead of wanting to hear her daughter focus on how Madam Wang provoked the relationship between them! For a moment, Ning's mother wondered why her daughter was so stupid?
But she didn't know that Ning Shichu did this on purpose. Ning's mother insisted on beating around the bush. So how could she blame Ning Shichu for not speaking according to her ideas?
"Chu'er, don't talk nonsense. Your Aunt Wang only told me this because she couldn't bear to hide it from me... Your temper has improved a lot recently. See, those two people didn't make trouble with your father anymore?" Ning's mother was implicitly blaming Ning Shichu for not helping her deal with the mistress and the illegitimate child.
But she didn't say it directly, Ning Shichu pretended to be deaf and dumb, and said confidently: "What does this have to do with my temper? I just saw that Mom has accepted the fact that Dad has another family outside, so I won't meddle in other people's business. After all, I'm married now, and it's not my place to meddle in my parents' affairs."
When Ning's mother heard her words, she was so angry that she almost exploded. She didn't care about maintaining her image and asked loudly: "When did I accept that your father has another family?!"
"You haven't accepted it? But after you knew that dad had an affair and had an illegitimate child, you didn't stay quiet, as if nothing had happened, and didn't divorce. You still pretended to be a loving couple with dad. Doesn't this mean that you have acquiesced?" Ning Shichu asked back.
Ning's mother was speechless. Could she say that she couldn't destroy her beautiful image and become a hysterical shrew who found out her husband cheated on her? Could she say that she was counting on her daughter to be her vanguard and help her to punish her husband for cheating on her and having an illegitimate child, and then she wouldn't destroy her relationship with her husband and take advantage of the situation?
She couldn't say that, so she couldn't refute Ning Shichu's question.
Seeing that Ning's mother hadn't said anything for a long time, Ning Shichu smiled and said, "I knew that mom was a generous person. Since you, as dad's wife, can tolerate his mistress and illegitimate child outside, then as his daughter, what right do I have to object?"
"No, it's not like that..." Ning's mother retorted weakly, but she couldn't find a suitable excuse for a moment, so her rebuttal seemed pale and powerless.
Ning Shichu hung up the phone. What was the original owner's fault? She was just too empathetic with her mother, so she would stand up for her mother in everything. However, she didn't know that her mother didn't love her that much, but was just using her. It was like this when her husband cheated on her, and it was also like this when her son fell in love with Cinderella. Later, when she saw that she was useless, she threw her away like garbage.
If she had told her daughter openly that she wanted her daughter to help her seek justice from her husband, Ning Shichu would have had nothing to say. But Ning's mother was not like that. She wanted her daughter to help her but didn't say anything. She only hinted and instigated her daughter behind her back, and in the end she got the advantage and still acted ungratefully.
Ning Shichu was not troubled by Ning's mother's affairs, and she quickly put their affairs behind her.
After returning to her mansion, she went to the swimming pool to swim for half an hour, and then asked a physiotherapist to give her a massage. She really enjoyed this kind of life.
She still had dinner alone, and her workaholic husband was nowhere to be seen in the company.
It was not until she was about to fall asleep that she heard Xi Ciming returning to the room.
The bed beside her sank instantly, and a tall, warm and present body lay down beside her, and a faint lemon scent wafted into Ning Shichu's nose.
Ning Shichu couldn't help but get closer and smell it. The lemon scent was quite pleasant.
"You haven't slept yet?" Xi Ciming's voice was low, slightly hoarse, and very magnetic, making Ning Shichu's ears numb.
"Go to sleep, don't talk." Ning Shichu hugged his thin waist and murmured, hoping that the man would be better off shutting up and letting her fall asleep peacefully in the scent of lemon.
Fortunately, Xi Ciming, the workaholic, focused all his energy on work and had no spare energy to do anything else with Ning Shichu, so both of them shut up and went to sleep.
