"Nope." Ning Xin opened her mouth to refuse.

However, Sun Chen, who had been holding her hand, noticed that his girlfriend was extremely nervous now. Look how tightly she clutches and sweats!

Ning Guotong didn't speak, just looked at her like this, and the two of them looked at each other affectionately as if they were competing.

"Hey, are you still leaving? If you don't leave, let me go! ”

The bus came, and the people who were blocked by Sun Chen and the three shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Oh!" Ning Xin was a little embarrassed when she saw this, and quickly retreated to the side. She forgot that there was a narrow road under her feet, and there was a stone staircase from the ground, and her body involuntarily tilted to the side.

Sun Chen, who was pondering Ning Guotong's identity in his heart, noticed it too late, and only had time to drag her hard to prevent her from falling, but he couldn't stop her body from crooking towards the side of the road.

"Be careful!" Ning Guotong moved his body and blocked in front of Ning Xin, so that she would not be too embarrassed.

Waiting for a few people to stabilize their figures, a trace of surprise flashed on Ning Xin's face, and then quickly calmed down, "What do you want to talk about?" First of all, I can only give you fifteen minutes! ”

After finishing speaking, she quickly turned around and pulled Sun Chen towards the fast food restaurant next to the bus stop sign.

There is a simple box in this fast food restaurant, and it is not yet time to eat, and it happens to be empty.

However, he was afraid that the owner of the fast food restaurant would be angry, so Ning Guotong still casually ordered a few signature dishes, and followed Ning Xin and Sun Chen into the box.

The box that has barely been renovated and is only separated by a few wooden boards is very simple, and Ning Guotong, who is in a suit and leather shoes, stands in it, which looks a little out of place.

However, he didn't care about the surrounding environment, and as soon as he entered the box, he sat opposite Ning Xin.

"Xinxin, why didn't you choose to go to Dingshengju for an internship?"

Knowing that Ning Xin was impatient with herself, Ning Guotong got straight to the point and directly asked the purpose of her trip.

"I don't like to go, so I don't go!"

Ning Xin didn't raise her head, she said casually, her hand unconsciously fiddled with the disposable tableware on the table, and soon poked it several holes with chopsticks.

"Juewei pot is actually similar to Dingshengju, in some aspects, Dingshengju even does better......" Ning Guotong knew why his daughter didn't choose Dingshengju, but he still wanted to persuade his daughter to change her mind.

"Enough!" Ning Xin suddenly broke out, she raised her voice and yelled at Ning Guotong: "Ning Guotong, you can't help being so hypocritical, you obviously know why I didn't choose your prosperous residence, and you deliberately came here to ask me what I mean?" ”

Ning Guotong, when Sun Chen heard Ning Xin shouting that person's name, his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Dingshengju is your own hotel, you can also have a ...... when you go there"

"Home? You said such a thing to me, does Han Lili, that woman, know? Does Mrs. Ning at home know? If I let the two of them know, do you think they will let me have a comfortable life with my mother? ”

The more Ning Xin spoke, the more excited she became, "Count me begging you, okay?" For so many years, my mother and I have not had contact with your Ning family, not to mention how happy we are, can't you let this happiness continue? Your Ning family, no matter how much property you have, I am not rare! ”

"Xinxin, I'm just ......" Ning Guotong was so mercilessly disgusted by his daughter, obviously very hurt, he muttered and wanted to say something more to his daughter, but Ning Xin seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, after saying this, he couldn't wait to get up and pull Sun Chen away.

wanted to raise his feet to catch up with his daughter to explain, but Ning Guotong suddenly didn't know what he should say to her, so he could only watch his daughter leave his sight step by step.

"Sir, the kitchen is ready, do you want to serve it now?" The waiter at the fast food restaurant looked at the two people who rushed out angrily, and spoke to Ning Guotong with some caution.

"Let's start serving!" Ning Guotong sighed, retracted the pain on his face, and regained his original calm and self-control.

After a while, the waiter successively brought the few dishes that Ning Guotong had just ordered into the box.

Sweet and sour tenderloin, mushu meat, stewed prawns with oil outside the intestine of the ninth turn, Ning Guotong also ordered a crucian carp in milk soup, all of which are Ning Guotong's specialty dishes, and they are all made and eaten by the family when he was not separated from Qi Meijuan ten years ago.

He remembered that Ning Xin liked sweet and sour tenderloin and braised prawns in oil, Qi Meijuan liked to eat mushu meat, and he liked to eat nine-turn large intestine the most.

Now only Ning Guotong is sitting alone in the box, with chopsticks and chopsticks mechanically stuffed into his mouth. In a trance, he seemed to see a little girl with pigtails sitting on the chair next to him, and next to her, a woman with a somewhat thin face was helping her peel the shrimp shell with a calm face.

When a shrimp was peeled and the woman put it in the vinegar dish, the little girl eagerly picked up the spoon and scooped the shrimp into her mouth, with a happy smile on her face. This smile infected the woman beside him, and also infected Ning Guotong, and a long-lost smile flashed on his face.

But the smile became more and more bitter, and in the end, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and lay on the table, letting the tears flow freely.

……

Sun Chen followed Ning Xin on the bus without saying a word, and for half an hour, Ning Xin kept her face black and didn't make a sound, Sun Chen was also very insightful and let her be silent, and didn't ask anything.

When the two of them got on the train, Ning Xin closed her eyes tightly and leaned on Sun Chen's shoulder next to her.

Carefully helped her put on one of his coats, and Sun Chen dutifully acted as a humanoid backrest.

As for Ning Xin's relationship with the middle-aged man named Ning Guotong, he already knew the answer in his heart, but when he saw his girlfriend's painful face, he really couldn't bear to ask her anything more.

When the train arrived at the station, after Sun Chen sent Ning Xin home, he told Qi Meijuan, who was surprised, the reason for going home this time, and told her that Ning Xin was a little tired and needed to rest, so she said goodbye and left.

He had an excellent impression of his future mother-in-law, Qi Meijuan, and Sun Chen, and he really couldn't think of why Ning Guotong chose to divorce her back then, abandon Ning Xin and her, and choose to hold another beauty.

……

"Xinxin, why did you make such a mess of yourself? Isn't it hard to learn to cook? Qi Meijuan was distressed when she saw Ning Xin's lifeless appearance.

"If it weren't for my body, how could I have to endure so much hardship at such a young age~" Qi Meijuan said and tears fell. In the past ten years, her health has not been very good, even if she has to go out to work, she has not been able to earn much money back, poor Xinxin has known to help her as much as she can since she was very young.

Especially after she went to junior high school, in addition to the time for studying, she was almost on the way to work, so that because she had too many part-time jobs, her studies were delayed, so that she could not be admitted to an ideal university.

"Mom, I'm just a little sicksick, what's the hard work? Look at your distressed look, I don't know how I thought I was bullied outside! Under the long-term illness, my mother's mood is a little depressed, and she often thinks about the bad when she encounters things, so in front of her, Ning Xin has always reported good news and not bad news.

Usually the two get along, Ning Xin is more like a worried mother, and often needs to comfort Qi Meijuan, who is in a sad mood.

But no matter how hard it is, Ning Xin has never complained about anything, her mother pulled her up with difficulty, and the hardships paid in this are far beyond what people can imagine. Until now, Ning Xin often remembers when she was in the fifth grade of primary school, when she left school half an hour early because of the exam, and saw her mother stuffing steamed buns and pickles into her mouth.

At that time, the family was really poor, Ning Xin reached the development period, but she needed more nutrition, and Qi Meijuan was sick at that time, and she didn't go to work in the small garment factory where she worked for a whole week, so she lost that stable job, and then she could only find some short-term jobs everywhere to temporarily support her life.

But even so, she still made food for Ning Xin every day, and Ning Xin asked where the money came from, and she only said that she had saved it before.

Qi Meijuan said firmly, the young Ning Xin naturally didn't think much about it, and the days still went on like that.

Slowly, Ning Xin found that her mother no longer ate at the same table as her, and often before she came home from school, she had finished eating and was ready to go to work.

Ning Xin only thought that her mother was not cooperating with the new working time she had found, and she didn't think much about it until she saw the scene in front of her.

It turned out that Qi Meijuan had never found a suitable job, but she didn't want her daughter to suffer with her, so after cooking every day, she left it all for her daughter to eat, but she only ate steamed buns and pickles to satisfy her hunger.

At that time, Ning Xin was really shocked, she quickly stepped forward to snatch the pickles from Qi Meijuan's hand, pulled her to the table where she kept her food, and said word by word, "Mom, we are blessed and share hardships, steamed bread and pickles must be eaten together, and meat must be eaten together!" ”

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried earth-shatteringly, but it was also because of that incident that the relationship between the two people was deeper, and their hearts seemed to be closer.

It was also at that time that Ning Xin hated that she grew too slowly, and she couldn't help her mother do anything, so she could only eat hard, exercise hard, and study hard. When she finally reached the age of eleven and was admitted to junior high school, she found her homeroom teacher to explain the situation at home, and asked him to help find a work-study job in the school - helping the old man in the communication room, sending letters to the teachers living in the dormitory, and the waste paper basket of the whole school was unconditionally open to her, and she could pick up some waste paper in it and sell it at the garbage collection station for money.

Although the school understands her plight and takes good care of her, and she only has an income of less than 100 yuan a month, it is still very useful when the average salary of ordinary people is only three or four hundred yuan.

As for the ridicule of her classmates because of her poverty and despair, Ning Xin never paid attention to it. When a person can't even guarantee that his belly will be full, how can he take into account his self-esteem?!

……

In order to allow Ning Xin to have a good rest, Qi Meijuan had already withdrawn from the room, so she couldn't see Ning Xin after recalling the past, thinking of Ning Guotong's entanglement with her before she came, how entangled her expression was.

For Ning Guotong, a father in a blood relationship who did not fulfill his father's responsibilities, Ning Xin's feelings are contradictory. Because in the depths of her memory, she still has some vague impressions of Ning Guotong.

He would play with himself affectionately, and every time he went out on the street, he would carry himself on his shoulders and take him wherever he wanted to go. Favorite toys, favorite snacks, as well as beautiful clothes and headwear, he will buy them one by one without opening his own mouth.

He was also extremely gentle with his mother, and never said a word heavy. It's just that I don't know why, at the end of the memory, he not only spoke ill of his mother, but also committed unforgivable mistakes.

As for what the fault was, Ning Xin doesn't remember anymore, but it won't be a good thing to let his mother, who loves him very much, take him away and divorce him desperately.

When she got older, she also speculated that if she could divorce a woman with a child and a man she once loved, nine times out of ten, this man made a mistake of principle - cheating.

Such a scumbag who cheated in marriage, even if he wants to repair the relationship with himself, he will never be able to forgive him!

Clutching the futon under her, Ning Xin swore hatefully.

……

Qi Meijuan's strange appearance made Qi Meijuan very worried, she recalled Sun Chen's detailed instructions to her when she left, and deduced that there should be no problem between them, so what could it be?

Thinking that Sun Chen and the others were about to go to Juewei Pot for an internship, Qi Meijuan's heart jumped, could it be ......?

No, probably not, even if that person has made the hotel bigger now, he won't have that thought, right? Even if he wanted to, the one in the family would never allow it, wouldn't he? After all, in her eyes, her daughters are all money-losers, and all the family property is to be left to the grandchildren at home.

Or maybe he learned about the predicament of their mother and daughter, and simply wanted to reach out and pull a hand?

This daughter will definitely not accept it, after all, she is more sensitive than herself, Ning Guotong will only annoy her by doing this, right?

Thinking of Ning Guotong, Qi Meijuan's heart couldn't help but feel a little sour. If it weren't for the incident back then, he would still be living with Xinxin's child, right?

But there are not so many ifs in the world.

She and Ning Guotong were already destined not to be together ten years ago.

……

Ning Xin slept soundly, she didn't get up to eat dinner, Qi Meijuan had something in her heart, and she lost the interest in eating, so she wrapped the food in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, and went back to her room.
