Ding Qianlie suddenly covered her mouth, for fear that Ding Ning would hear her crying. She raised her head and let the overflowing tears flow back into her eyes. After a long silence, she said in a muffled voice, "What's wrong with that? It's natural for a child to miss his mother. Tell me, did something stimulate you?"
Ding Ning did not hide it. He told her in detail how he wanted to acknowledge Su Ningxiang as his godmother but was rejected.
Ding Qianlie had expected that something unexpected might happen when Ding Ning and his mother met, but she did not expect that the feeling of blood connection would be so strong that Ding Ning, who had always been strong, was so fragile that he finally opened his heart to her.
For a long time, there had been a vague estrangement between Ding Ning and her. Now that Ding Ning was willing to talk to her, the estrangement was inadvertently eliminated, which made her feel gratified and distressed at the same time.
She would rather this kind of estrangement existed than let Ding Ning be hurt. She even blamed Su Ningxiang. "Since you know that you can't recognize your son now, why do you go to see him alone and add to your troubles?"
But she also knew that she could not blame her godmother. After all, putting herself in her shoes, no one could resist not seeing their son after being separated for more than 20 years in front of them.
Ding Ning felt that he was suffering, but in fact, his godmother was suffering the most. Her biological son was in front of her, but because she had to protect him, she not only could not recognize him, but also had to ruthlessly refuse his request to acknowledge her as his godmother. That kind of spiritual pain and suffering was the cruelest torture.
Thinking of this, Ding Qianlie sighed and said softly, "Brother, don't be sad. You still have me. Believe me, it won't be long before our family reunites."
"Sister, can you tell me about my mother? What does she look like? Is she a good character? "
Su Ningxiang might have triggered his yearning for his mother. For the first time in Ding Ning's more than 20 years of life, he was so eager to know about his mother, and his voice was full of longing and yearning.
Ding Qianlie sighed faintly and said softly as if she was sleep-talking, "Mother is very beautiful, very gentle, very kind, very strong, very brave …"
Ding Qianlie described his mother generously, which satisfied all of Ding Ning's beautiful imagination about his mother. His mouth was full of a happy smile.
Although he knew that his sister was exaggerating and that there was no such perfect mother, he still liked to hear it. From time to time, he would interrupt and ask, "Did Mommy miss me?"
"Of course!"
"Did Mom tell Sis about me before?"
"Of course I did."
"How often do you talk about me?"
"At least three times a day."
…
Ding Ning was immersed in his mother's questioning and did not notice that Su Ningxiang, who was holding a bowl of bird's nest porridge, was leaning against the door with tears streaming down her face.
"You leave first. I'll send him in!"
She didn't know when Su Zhengnan came over and whispered in her ear with deep distress in his eyes.
Su Ningxiang nodded and handed the bird's nest porridge to her father as she was told. She wiped her tears and turned to leave. She knew that she would be exposed if she met Ding Ning in her current state.
Not seeing him was the best way to protect him!
To be honest, Su Zhengnan had never liked the son-in-law whom he had never met, and he also disliked Ding Ning, his grandson. Otherwise, why had he never thought of looking for him for so many years?
The reason why he didn't like it was because he thought that his daughter's misfortune in this half of her life was because of him. If he hadn't made his daughter pregnant out of wedlock, how could the once proud daughter of heaven become the laughingstock of the entire upper class circle? How could she have lived alone for more than 20 years under the criticism of countless people behind her back? It had shamed him as the Su Family's Patriarch.
He had the responsibilities and obligations as the head of a big family, so he had to distinguish between public and private interests and could not be swayed by emotions. Otherwise, he could not convince the public.
This was also the reason why he could only stand by and watch his daughter live in misery for so many years, even though he was very distressed.
His daughter was a very opinionated person. Once she decided to do something, even eight horses could not pull her back. She had been persisting in these years, which made him feel distressed and hate the culprit even more.
But at this moment, when he heard Ding Ning's tireless questioning on the phone, he felt inexplicably soft in his heart. "No matter how great his achievements are and how excellent his medical skills are, he is still a child who longs for maternal love."
Su Zhengnan coughed and waited until Ding Ning reluctantly hung up the phone. Then he pushed the door and entered.
Looking at Ding Ning's calm face, Su Zhengnan felt a surge of emotions in his heart. "This is my grandson! A kinship connected by blood makes his tone become much softer." You must be hungry. Eat something first. "
"I still don't know how to call you."
Ding Ning was still a very polite child. He took the bird's nest porridge and asked politely.
Su Zhengnan was absent-minded for a moment. Ding Ning was his grandson, but he could not recognize him. This strange feeling made him more deeply understand his daughter's pain and suffering.
He coughed and said gently, "My name is Su Zhengnan, the Family Head of the Su Family."
Ding Ning was immediately shocked. He did not expect that the dignified Family Head of the Su Family should send porridge to him in person. Although he cured Master Su and was the benefactor of the Su Family, Su Zhengnan's action still made him feel a little flattered. He quickly put the porridge on the table and said gratefully, "Just find someone to send it to me. Thank you, Family Head of the Su Family, for your trouble."
Su Zhengnan glanced at Ding Ning with gratification. "This child is not arrogant because of his kindness to the Su Family. He speaks and does things in moderation and can maintain the necessary politeness. He is much better than those arrogant sons of rich and powerful families who think themselves superior to others."
Su Zhengnan immediately chuckled. "You saved my father, so you are the benefactor of my Su Family. As an old guy, it's not a big deal for me to run errands for you."
"Family Head of the Su Family, please don't say that. I just help others to repay their kindness. Now we are even, but I can't afford to be called the benefactor of the Su Family."
Ding Ning waved his hand repeatedly and said seriously.
"Repay? What do you mean? "
Su Zhengnan immediately became interested and pulled a chair to sit down. He thought that his daughter used some means to ask Ding Ning to help them, but he did not expect that there seemed to be a reason for it.
Ding Ning did not hide it and said seriously, "Master Su once saved my sister from human traffickers 20 years ago. Last night, my sister learned that Master Su was dying and called me anxiously in the middle of the night, so I rushed over and repaid his kindness on behalf of my sister."
"Oh, there is such a thing? I haven't heard about it from Master Su. Is it possible that there is a mistake? "
Su Zhengnan was confused. "With Master Su's identity and status, he enjoys the security level of the head of state whenever he goes out. How could he come into contact with human traffickers? "This is too unreliable, isn't it?"
Ding Ning said resolutely, "It can't be wrong. My sister told me so, and even the address of the Su Family was sent to me by her. How could it be wrong?"
"Oh, maybe it's because I don't know."
Su Zhengnan did not know whether to laugh or cry. "It seems that this should be done by my daughter. I don't know how this girl fooled this little guy."
"Speaking of which, my daughter seems to have only one son. Where does she have a daughter?" He was puzzled, but pretended to ask casually, "Who is your sister? When I have time, I will visit her in person. "
"No, my sister said that Master Su has done so many good things in his life. He may not remember that he saved her at that time, but my sister always remembers it. If she doesn't repay his kindness, she will not feel at ease in her life. As her younger brother, I naturally have to share my sister's worries and difficulties. Now, fortunately, I have not failed my mission, and I can give my sister an explanation."
Ding Ning was not willing to tell his sister's name. He just came to repay his sister's kindness, not to make trouble for her, and he did not intend to have more contact with the Su Family at all.
After all, his sister was so beautiful. If some dissolute childe of the Su Family fell in love with his sister and pursued her, should he stop him or not?
He did not realize that when he thought that his sister would marry another man in the future, he felt sour and uncomfortable in his heart.
But he just thought that he and his sister had just met each other not long ago, enjoyed his sister's exclusive love for him, and did not want to compete with others for her favor.
This made him feel ashamed secretly. "My sister can't live alone for a lifetime, and she will get married sooner or later. Is it too selfish of me to resist her having a boyfriend?"
Su Zhengnan did not know what he was thinking, so he did not mention that the masters of the three aristocratic families came to see Ding Ning in person but were refused by the Master. He laughed and said, "Drink the porridge while it's hot. If you have a good rest, you can go to see the Master."
"Okay, I also want to tell the Master about the things to pay attention to in the future."
Ding Ning was really hungry. After drinking the porridge in a few mouthfuls, he stood up and secretly criticized the Su Family in his heart. "The Su Family is too stingy. Such a small bowl of bird's nest porridge is not enough to fill the gap between my teeth."
"Let's go. The Master has specially arranged a banquet and wants to have a drink with you. Uh, by the way, can he drink wine in his old body?"
Su Zhengnan knew that Ding Ning was his grandson, so he was not polite to him and greeted him casually as if he were greeting his own family.
Ding Ning did not like to be restrained. Seeing that Su Zhengnan was not arrogant and spoke casually, he felt a sense of closeness and said with a smile, "As long as the Master doesn't drink wine all day, there will be no problem."
"Really? That's great. The Master likes wine best. Because of his poor health these years, he can't drink a drop of wine. I guess that he has been suffocated for a long time. "
Su Zhengnan said in surprise, and then he looked serious and asked in a low voice, "Little Ding, tell me the truth, the Master's body …"
Ding Ning knew that he wanted to ask how long the Master could live, so he thought for a moment and said, "I dare not say anything else, but if there is no accident, there will be no problem at least in ten years. If he is lucky, it is not impossible to live for another twenty years."
In the cycle of nature, everyone had his own fate, which could not be changed at all. Unless a practitioner practiced against the heaven, broke the shackles of the human body, and improved the level of life, he could fight against the heaven and increase his lifespan.
Otherwise, if he used medical skills to prolong his life, there would be no birth, aging, illness, and death in this world, and the world would have been in chaos.
He could successfully prolong Master Su's life. First, although Master Su's organs were aging, it was because of the relapse of his old injury that his lifespan had not run out; second, Master Su was a Martial Artist himself. Although his cultivation was not high, his physical quality was by no means comparable to that of ordinary people, and the effect of prolonging his lifespan was still there; third, the Green Ivy Bead replenished his vitality. Although it could not change his fate against the heaven, its vigorous vitality could restore the vitality of his aging organs within his own lifespan, so that he could stay in a healthy state.
"He can live for at least ten years? Is there really such magical medical skills in this world? "
