Chapter 1178 “Ning Yu’s jealousy (5)”
“Auntie Ning,” desperately clinging onto the woman’s hand, Ning Yu pleads with her all, “I was blinded by jealousy, that’s why I did everything. I was afraid after seeing how nice you were being to these strange children. I know my fault now, please forgive me?”
Bai Ning could understand why this girl would behave this way, after all, she did lose her mother as a baby. Putting her desire for a mother on someone else was normal behavior. Nevertheless, that doesn’t excuse what Ning Yu has done thus far by lying and doubling down on that lie. That’s the sort of behavior she detested and from someone she knew at that!
Inhaling deeply, the lady eventually steeled her heart because condoning bad behavior would only bring more harm, a lesson must be taught. “Yu’er, you’ve let me down too much today. Go back to your father, I only need Xiachen and Dragony to keep me company during this period.”
Ning Yu’s panicking now. She knows, if she leaves today then coming back out with her Auntie Ning would be close to impossible anymore. Not only that, she might also completely lose her position in the woman’s heart and be replaced by these two little shits!“Auntie Ning, I really know my wrong, I beg you, please let me stay. I can help you look after these two kids while you’re not around.”
“Take care of them?” Bai Ning evokes a smirk similar to sneer due to how ridiculous that last bit was, “You’re not going to be satisfied until you completely drive them away do you?”
“No, no I’m not, please believe me!” The girl pleads, her hand desperately grasping onto the woman’s sleeve and unwilling to let go.
The situation looked bad for Ning Yu regardless how one examined it. However, it’s then that the little steambun stepped in with an unexpected defense: “Pretty Granny, if she wants to stay then let her.”Stunned by the remark, Bai Ning bows down to eye level with the boy: “You’re not angry anymore?”
“I was never angry so let her stay Pretty Granny, okay?” Flashing a wonderful smile, its hard to believe there’s even a hint of malice in the boy’s words.
“Alright, if that’s what you wish.”
Truly, the lady didn’t have the will or heart to refuse him, regardless of her own opinion on the matter. Lowering her tone by a notch when speaking to the girl: “Since Xiachen is defending you then I won’t insist on you going back anymore. However, if I find out you were to perform the same mistake again like today then I won’t forgive you anymore, understand? Also, I won’t ever meet you or your father again in this lifetime!”“I promise Auntie Ning, I promise!” Relieved inside, Ning Yu couldn’t ask for a better outcome. The only issue was the level of pampering the lady was giving to the little steambun. It’s gnawing at her heart and making it unbearable.
“Then go back to your room first, the kids still need to rest.” Stopping to give the boy a rub on the head, Bai Ning didn’t bother to give anymore attention to the girl behind herself. “Now Xiachen, tell me who those bad people are, I will help you get revenge on them so they can’t ever come make trouble.”
Nodding with bright twinkling eyes, a brilliant smile comes out of the boy’s face: “Pretty Granny, if only you are my real granny, then that would be great.”
Giving a faint chuckle at the boy’s comment: “You silly, isn’t it the same if you just call me Pretty Granny?”
Same? Of course not!
Bai Xiachen inwardly protests, knowing full well that won’t do.
What if Grandpa Yun Feng finds out? He will definitely be unhappy if I’m speaking to Granny Ning like some outsider.
Oblivious to what the kid was thinking inside, Bai Ning instead turned back to the girl who was still lingering at the door. Frosty in her voice: “You’re still not going back to your room?”
Pained and suffering inside at the harsh tone, Ning Yu felt indignant right now. Not uttering a word, she fled the room for her own without looking back.
Very soon, everyone has gone, leaving only the two kids inside the room with the door closed.
“Gege, why did you ask her to stay?” Losing the weeping picture from her face, Dragony returns to her curious self from before with a hint of confusion mixed in there.
