Chapter 104: The Knot in Her Heart
Bai Yang asked gently, “Do you want to take a break?”
Song Ning shook her head. She took a deep breath before she continued to say, “In the end, my father agreed to let leave with my mom. However, his condition was that my mother had to give up the common property and her unique embroidery art. In his words, those things were the soul of the Ning family’s clothing business.”
“How shaless! Really too shaless!” Jiang Jin said angrily.
At this mont, tears had already soaked through the silk handkerchief that Song Ning placed on her eyes. Nevertheless, she did not stop speaking. “At that ti, while my parents were arguing, I looked at Su Tong who was sitting at the side with a pitiful expression on her face. However, contrary to her expression, her eyes were clearly gleaming with delight. I couldn’t contain my anger when I saw this and rushed to slap her; I even called her a sl*t. Everyone, including Su Tong, was shocked by my actions. I rember that child rushed up to and tried to kick , but I pushed him away. When my father regained his senses, he slapped so hard that I fell. I rember the ringing noises in my ears after he slapped ; I couldn’t hear anything for a mont. When my mother saw this, she, naturally, rushed over to protect . However, that child knocked into her stomach, causing her to fall next to . I rember thinking wondering how or why my mother and I had fallen into such a state…”
After Song Ning finished speaking, Jiang Jin clutched Mu Chen’s hand for comfort. Both of them did not dare to speak at this mont.
After a long ti, Bai Yan finally called out softly, “Song Ning…”
Mu Chen reached out to hold Song Ning’s hand to comfort her and found that her hand was cold to the touch. Nevertheless, her rapid breathing seed to gradually slow down with his help.
After calming down, Song Ning said, “My eardrum was perforated, and for a long ti, my hearing was impaired. I had a concussion; every movent made the world spin and I felt nauseous. During my ti in the hospital, apart from the doctors and nurses, no one ca to visit, not even my mother. I rember attempting to commit suicide ti and ti again, but I was saved again and again. One day, Ms. Yun Yao ca to see ; it was our first eting. She said she was a friend of my mother and brought to see my mother. As it turned out, my mother didn’t co to visit was because she had suffered a miscarriage. She was four months pregnant with a baby boy when Su Tong’s son bumped into her stomach. Just like that, my younger brother was gone before his life even started.”
“After that, my parents got divorced. She demanded custody of and prohibited Su Tong from using the title ‘Madam Ning’ publicly for ten years. Apart from these two things, she didn’t ask for anything else. If my father didn’t acquiesce to her requests, she threatened to sue Su Tong for instigating her son to hurt her. It was then that she also applied for the trademark and patents for Zhuang Ji. I rember going back to the place my father slapped on the day we moved out of the Ning family ho. I was so nauseous and began to throw up. After that, I rember telling my father that I won’t ever return to the Ning family. I heard, after we left, he was so angered by my words that he was hospitalized.”
“Unfortunately, before my mother and I could settle into our new life, we received news of my grandfather’s illness. At that ti, both of us returned to the countryside to stay by his side. We only returned when I had to take my college entrance exams. With my mother’s consent, I changed my na and started my life as Song Ning.”
Song Ning paused briefly before she said, “My mother experienced a miscarriage, a divorce, and the deaths of her parents all at once. It was not surprising that she was depressed for a long ti. It gradually took a toll on her health, but she managed to hold on for a couple of years for my sake before she could no longer hold on. After her passing, Ms. Yun Yao began to manage Zhuang Ji. At the sa ti, my father ca to look for as well after he received news of my mother’s passing. He said that he hoped I’d return to the Ning family. I rember scolding and cursing him at that ti for wronging my mother and my stillborn brother. His expression was cold when he said my mother was selfish and did not consider his feelings. When Ms. Yun Yao asked him to leave, he accused her of trying to get close to for selfish reasons. I was so angry that I actually grabbed a knife to chase him out. After he left, I vomited non-stop and was sick for three days… From then on, the Ning family beca taboo to . I’d feel sick whenever I think of them or see them. However, after such a long ti, I thought I was cured since I didn’t see them often. Who knew I still can’t control my reaction when I et them…”
Finally, Song Ning removed the silk handkerchief from her eyes.
Jiang Jin could no longer hold back and moved to hug Song Ning. She said, clearly distressed, “Song Ning, let’s not see those people ever again…”
Song Ning returned the hug as she said resolutely, “Grandma, I can’t hide from them forever. I must overco and face this problem.” Then, she looked at Bai Yang and said, “I know I must face this problem on my own. Only I can solve it. No matter what it takes, I’m willing to cooperate and listen to you in order to rid myself of this problem.”
Mu Chen looked at Song Ning, deeply shaken. As it turned out, Song Ning had hidden such a deep pain in her heart. Song Ning was like him in the past.
Bai Yang said, delighted, “There’s nothing more important than you being willing to overco this problem. Song Ning, although your physical symptoms are severe, it’s not difficult to solve this problem. Let’s work hard together to cure you!”
Bai Yang’s words were a great encouragent to Song Ning, Mu Chen, and Jiang Jin.
For Mu Chen and Jiang Jin, nothing mattered as long as Song Ning lived well.
