"You said that the mayor gave Ningning two hundred thousand yuan and a house in the city center worth more than two million yuan?" Shuxin looked at Shen Tingxi, who was sitting on the sofa opposite her, in disbelief.
Under the light, Shen Tingxi's sharp features looked even colder. "Mu Yiqing did pay two hundred thousand yuan some time ago, and a house was transferred from his name to Ningning's name a few days ago."
Shuxin was surprised, but more than that, she was confused. "Why did the mayor give Ningning these things?" She was just a fellow townsman. He didn't have to take care of her like this, right? Suddenly, Shuxin remembered that Ningning had told her that Zhao Xiangping was Mu Yiqing's first love. Could it be that … Ningning was Mu Yiqing's daughter?
Shuxin was shocked by her bold guess, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. Mu Yiqing had signed a contract with Ningning for the project in the city, and now he had money and a house. If they were just from the same hometown, it would be too much. If she was his daughter, everything would make sense.
"You've thought of it too, right?" Shen Tingxi looked at Shuxin and asked.
Shuxin was shocked and looked at Shen Tingxi. "You think so too?"
Shen Tingxi nodded. His expression was a little gloomy, and his voice was tinged with loneliness. "Ningning has never mentioned the money and the house in front of me. I don't know what she's thinking in her heart. Does she suspect that Mu Yiqing is her father? Or does she already know? I don't know. Maybe in Ningning's heart, I'm not a trustworthy person, so she doesn't tell me anything. "
Shuxin shook her head. She didn't think so. "Ningning has always been quiet and doesn't like to communicate with others. Let alone you, I don't know anything. She hides everything in her heart. This is a habit she has developed over the years. It has nothing to do with trust.
But I think Ningning has changed a lot. Mu Yiqing and she were from the same hometown, and her mother was Mu Yiqing's first love. Didn't she tell us all these? I think maybe she doesn't know about this matter herself. Otherwise, it's impossible for her to not have any abnormalities when it comes to something as big as recognizing relatives. "
Hearing Shuxin's words, Shen Tingxi felt much better. However, when he thought of Mu Yiqing's actions, he could not help but feel angry. His handsome face was extremely gloomy. Ningning had been labeled as an illegitimate daughter since she was a child. She had been looked down upon and mocked by others.
If Mu Yiqing was really Ning Ning's father, then all of this was caused by Mu Yiqing. Where was he when Ning Ning was bullied in the past? He married into the Yu family and lived a life of luxury. He even became a mayor.
What are you trying to do by giving me money and a house now?
You want to acknowledge your relatives?
No way!
However, everything was just a guess now. He had to think of a way to find out the truth and not let Mu Yiqing lead him by the nose.
Shen Tingxi looked at Shuxin. "Sister-in-law, Ningning doesn't want to see me now. If you have the chance, try to ask her about the money and the house. I'll try to get Mu Yiqing's hair and do a paternity test for him and Ningning."
Shuxin nodded. "Okay."
After leaving Shuxin's place, Shen Tingxi asked Mu Yiqing to meet up with him. He made it clear to him that he would not leave Mu Ning Jing.
Mu Yiqing also emphasized that he would not agree to Shen Tingxi and Mu Ning Jing being together.
Naturally, the two of them parted on bad terms. When they were leaving, Shen Tingxi quietly stretched out his leg to trip Mu Yiqing. Then, he supported him and took the opportunity to get a few strands of his hair. He said, "The mayor is old. You should worry less." Then, he left without looking back.
Mu Yiqing was so angry that his face turned green and white.
…
In the ward.
Mu Ning Jing took small bites of an apple that Shuxin had just peeled. After a few bites, she stopped. "I want to be discharged."
Shuxin frowned. "You've only been here for two days. Why do you want to be discharged?"
Mu Ning Jing lowered her head. Her voice was soft and thin. "My fever is gone. I'm fine now."
Shuxin felt that there were some things that she had to tell Mu Ning Jing directly. She could not run away from it. "Ningning, do you want to walk out of the past completely?"
Mu Ning Jing's round and fair nails gently pinched the apple. She lowered her head and pursed her lips. She did not speak.
"Do you really want to break up with Shen Tingxi? Not see him for the rest of your life? Make him disappear from your life forever? "Shuxin asked again.
When Mu Ning Jing heard Shuxin's words, she felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles. Her eyes instantly moistened. She looked up at Shuxin. Her weak and helpless appearance made one's heart ache. "I like him, but I can't hurt him."
Shuxin did not understand. "Why would you hurt him?"
Mu Ning Jing slowly told Shuxin everything that Shen Jiuyan had said to her.
Shuxin frowned and asked Mu Ning Jing, "So this is the reason why you suddenly broke up with Shen Tingxi?"
Mu Ning Jing nodded.
"Does Shen Tingxi know?"
Mu Ning Jing shook her head. Then she nodded.
Shuxin was anxious. "Does he know or not?"
Mu Ning Jing said, "He didn't know at first, but he found out later."
"What did he say?" Shuxin asked.
Mu Ning Jing recalled Shen Tingxi's words in the morning. "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of losing you." Her heart ached terribly. The tears that had accumulated in her eyes rolled down.
When Shuxin saw Mu Ning Jing crying, she roughly understood what Shen Tingxi meant. "He won't leave you, right?"
Mu Ning Jing nodded. She sobbed and said, "Besides Mom, you and he are the two people who treat me the best in the world. If being with me will put his life in danger … I'd rather leave him."
"Silly!" Shuxin was angry and distressed. She reached out to wipe Mu Ning Jing's tears. "Even if you leave him, he will still be in danger. What he did was not something that was safe to begin with."
"But … Uncle Shen said that if Tingxi and Yu Anna were to be together … his safety would be guaranteed."
"The problem is, is Shen Tingxi willing to be together?" Shuxin held her forehead. She was so worried. "If Shen Tingxi was someone who would compromise, he would have been with Yu Anna a long time ago. Why would he wait until now?"
Mu Ning Jing blinked. The tears on her eyelashes slid down her clean little face.
Shuxin looked at Mu Ning Jing's silly crying face. She felt helpless and distressed. She had died once and was reborn. She knew deeply that people should live a selfish life and not think too much. Who knew when they would die?
"You worry too much. Life is actually very short. You have to think for yourself. If you like him, then be together. Why think so much? To put it bluntly, if something happens to Shen Tingxi one day, your sacrifice will be in vain. At that time, it will be too late for you to regret. "
Mu Ning Jing was frightened by Shuxin's assumption. Her face instantly turned pale. "No, he will be fine."
Shuxin patted Mu Ning Jing's shoulder comfortingly. "I'm just saying what if. If you don't want anything to happen to him, you should stay by his side and cherish every minute and every second with him. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices for something that won't happen. It's meaningless."
