Chapter 32: 32 Ningning Meets Grandma Zeng
F{h*F5(/ V hapter 32 Ningning Meets Grandma Zeng
Ning Yichu also unafraid of death, raised her eyebrows and said, “President Li, now you can finally believe that I don’t know your illegitimate child, right?”
“If that child isn’t yours, then where is the child you gave birth to initially?” Li Lingyang suddenly raised his crimson eyes, staring at her intensely as if clusters of flames were dancing.
Ning Yichu’s heart skipped a beat harshly, and for a moment, she felt he might care deeply about her having had an affair back then.
But in the next second, she brutally extinguished that thought!
How could he care about her? He clearly cared about his own reputation and couldn’t accept the fact that she had cuckolded him!
“Sorry, that’s personal privacy. I have nothing to disclose!”
Anger was spreading wildly in Li Lingyang’s chest.
One second ago, he was confident he could find out that the child’s mother was Ning Yichu, but the next second, reality told him that the child was not related to Ning Yichu at all!
He had even foolishly harbored feelings for so long!
“You bore a child without a known father during your marriage, and am I not even allowed to ask?”
Being suffocated by his anger, Ning Yichu burst out resentfully, “As a woman, being foolish once is enough. During the two and a half years we were married, you treated me as thin air, so why should I bother waiting for you in the same place? You don’t need to mock me for cuckolding you or whatever. Didn’t you have a child with Shen Jiangqing during the marriage? Let’s not criticize each other when both are equally to blame. Now that the misunderstandings are cleared up, we can both be at peace. Goodbye!”
After saying that, Ning Yichu directly took off.
It was clear she couldn’t take Ningning with her in this situation, but she didn’t force it. After all, with Doudou present, Ningning wouldn’t be mistreated.
Li Lingyang was so infuriated his chest heaved violently. Chengcheng and Doudou were not the result of him sleeping with Shen Jiangqing, yet she did indeed have an affair, how could the two situations compare?
His fists clenched tightly at his sides, and had it not been for a sliver of remaining rationality, he would have definitely dragged Ning Yichu back and demanded a severe explanation!
Taking a deep breath, he continued to instruct the bodyguard to search for Chen Bao.
Of course, the result ended in failure.
This child’s intelligence was beyond everyone’s expectations, as if he could perfectly avoid all of his traps, even the roadside surveillance cameras couldn’t capture him!
Just as his anger had not subsided, Granny Li called to ask when they would return for dinner. Li Lingyang, irritated, saw that the children were also tired and took them back on the return journey.
Unlike his light-hearted demeanor on arrival, his face was now clouded with gloom, as if there were dense sorrows that couldn’t be dissipated.
Because it reminded him of another incident—
In the month before his divorce from Ning Yichu, he was once overdrunk by a cooperating merchant, and that alcohol seemed to have some aphrodisiac effect; he vaguely remembered taking a woman to bed, but upon waking the next day with nobody beside him, he thought it was just a dream.
If it wasn’t a dream, then the child was likely born from that woman that night.
Shen Jiangqing was also somewhat confused—does that little boy really have anything to do with Ning Yichu?
Or is it that Ning Yichu tampered with the surveillance recordings?
Granny Li heard that Doudou’s closest friend was also at the amusement park and invited Ningning to join them for a meal.
Ningning had never met any other relatives, but she remembered that her mommy mentioned Granny Li used to be good to her, arousing her curiosity.
The Li Mansion was located on the mid-levels of the suburbs with garden-style architecture, offering picturesque scenery; the mountains and forests were distributed in an orderly manner with pavilions, towers, carved galleries, and painted buildings. To Ningning, who grew up in Europe, this astonishing scene was novel beyond compare.
“Doudou, your granny’s house is so beautiful, just like an ancient palace…” Ningning chatted with Doudou, her little mouth babbling away.
Doudou blinked shyly and nervously; it was the first time she had invited Ningning to Granny Li’s house, and she was a bit apprehensive, worried that Ningning wouldn’t like it here.
She took Ningning by the hand and ran all over the garden, while running, she introduced her to the place, pointing out where the front hall was, where was for working and reading, where was for sleeping, all very structured, leaving Ningning tongue-tied.
Geez, so many rules.
This must be the legendary grand household, huh?
Seeing that Ningning liked the place, Doudou gesticulated further, indicating that the home she was now living in—Royal Dragon Bay—was also very beautiful, with a vast golf course, lush and green, which was most comfortable to run on.
Ningning didn’t have any fond memories of Royal Dragon Bay, as her mom had once been imprisoned there by her deadbeat dad.
“I still like your Granny Li’s house more.”@@novelbin@@
“Heh, what a country bumpkin, amazed by the smallest things.” Chengcheng suddenly spoke up with disdain for Ningning’s lack of sophistication.
Befriending Ningning was bringing down her own status.
“I grew up in Europe since I was young. Although I have not seen these, I have seen the Eiffel Tower, Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace, the Parthenon, Erechtheion…”
Upon hearing this, Chengcheng scowled, unwilling to be outdone, “The buildings you mention may be classic, but they’re not yours, whereas this is my granny’s house and it will be passed down to me in the future.”
Unperturbed, Ningning made a face at him, “Your daddy seemed to be looking for another son today. What if he decides to pass it on to him instead of you?”
Chengcheng immediately bristled as if struck in a vulnerable spot, rushed forward, and pushed Ningning with a harsh palm, “You brat, stop talking nonsense! Daddy only has one son—me! The Li Family estate will be mine to inherit!”
Ningning nearly lost her balance from the push, nearly taking an embarrassing tumble, but she steadied herself with the help of a nearby ornamental tree and gave a look of disdain, “Wow, aren’t you the heir? Resorting to violence because you can’t win an argument with words? That’s quite unbecoming.”
“…” Chengcheng was so angered he couldn’t speak but subconsciously looked around.
He always presented himself as an elegant little prince in front of Daddy; if Daddy knew he had a bad temper, he would definitely be upset. He snorted and said, “I’ll let you off the hook today, but my home doesn’t welcome you. Doudou, I don’t like your new friend. If you keep playing with her, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Having delivered his threat, Chengcheng trotted away in his little shoes.
Ningning huffed and glowered. She couldn’t stand this half-brother from another mother.
Back at the amusement park, she had already noticed how Chengcheng despised Doudou because she was mute and didn’t want to play with her. But it wasn’t Doudou’s choice to be mute, so why look down on her?
Even if she were mute, she was still his own sister. If it were Ningning’s real brother, he would definitely protect Doudou without hesitation.
Doudou, hearing Chengcheng’s threats, trembled her long eyelashes but continued to like her new sister. Even if her brother threatened her, she would not cut ties and continued to show Ningning around the other buildings…
Unwittingly, the two little girls had spent a good half-hour playing and were then escorted to the living room by a servant.
“What a lovely little girl—come here to Granny Li,” Granny Li beckoned to Doudou and Ningning, holding hands as they entered, unable to help feeling delighted.
Ningning, not shy at all, stepped forward boldly and called out crisply, “Hello, Granny Li.”
“Good, all good…” Granny Li eyed the little girl’s features, her lips curving slightly upwards.
So adorable at such a young age, surely she would grow up to be a great beauty, but this little face looks somewhat familiar, like she’d seen it somewhere before?
What do you think?
