Chapter 1146: I’ll Be Waiting for You!
Ning Shu waved while shouting, “Mister, I’ll be here waiting for you tomorrow.”
Zhu Yanqiu’s figure stiffened, then he took Fang Feifei’s hand and quickly walked off.
Ning Shu curled her lips. At the very least, she had made her identity clear. Zhu Suniang was a wife, not some sister.
“Mom, is he really my dad?” asked Zhu Siyuan with a puzzled expression. “Isn’t Dad dead? How did he suddenly come back to life?”
Zhu Siyuan felt like he was completely being messed with. His mom had said, Siyuan, your father’s dead, he’s dead. But now she was saying, Siyuan, hurry, greet your dad! Actually, make it more westernized, call him daddy!
Ning Shu nodded. “That’s your dad. He left to pursue studies before you were born and had never once returned home, so I thought that he was dead.”
Zhu Siyuan lowered his head as he said, “Dad doesn’t seem to like me.”
Ning Shu didn’t know what to say. “Siyuan, not everyone will like us. What’s important is that we should love ourselves better. Even if Dad doesn’t love Siyuan, Mom loves Siyuan.”
Zhu Siyuan didn’t really understand but he nodded.
Ning Shu took Zhu Siyuan’s hand and they walked home. She didn’t care about what was going on with Zhu Yanqiu at all. In regards to whether the relationship between Zhu Yanqiu and Fang Feifei would break because of this, Ning Shu only shrugged. It had nothing to do with her.
As for what she said just now about waiting for Zhu Yanqiu in the bookstore tomorrow, it was just a joke.
Zhu Siyuan was in low spirits again. He had just gotten used to the fact that he didn’t have a father and now his father had appeared again. Then he found out that it was better not to have a father since his father had called his mother a psycho.
Ning Shu didn’t say anything when she saw Zhu Siyuan like this. No matter what she said, it would be useless. Children this age longed for a father figure the most. They’d long for a father that would stand in front of them like Mount Tai and protect them from whatever the world threw at them.
Ning Shu still spent every day doing her own things. She had almost a box full of the medicinal powder now and the effect was pretty good. She had tried cutting her finger and sprinkling the powder on it, and the blood had stopped very quickly. The only disadvantage was that it hurt like salt was being rubbed on the wound.
However, it was something could save a life so this shortcoming was tolerable.
Meanwhile, since Ning Shu had said that she would be waiting for him at the entrance of the bookstore tomorrow, the next day, Zhu Yanqiu actually did go to the bookstore to wait. However, despite waiting from morning till noon, Ning Shu never showed up.
Zhu Yanqiu could only suppress his temper and continue to wait. He didn’t have any way to get in touch with Zhu Suniang right now. He didn’t know where she lived nor where to go to find her.
“Are you actually waiting for someone?” Fang Feifei walked to Zhu Yanqiu and looked at him expressionlessly. “Are you hiding something from me?”
Zhu Yanqiu didn’t attend class today, so Fang Feifei tried her luck coming here. She never expected for Zhu Yanqiu to really be here waiting for that woman.
Zhu Yanqiu immediately shook his head. “I’m not here waiting for someone, I’m here to buy books. Yesterday, that madwoman kept bothering me so I didn’t even get to buy my books.”
Fang Feifei’s expression worsened. She was very angry but she suppressed it and said stiffly, “Even if you need to buy a book, you don’t need to do it during class time, right? You are waiting for that woman from yesterday. What’s your relationship with her? Zhu Yanqiu, explain things properly.”
Zhu Yanqiu shook his head firmly. “Feifei, I really just came to buy books.”
“Then have you bought them? What books take half a day to buy? Isn’t it more like you didn’t get to see the person you were waiting for?” Fang Feifei had a faint guess that shocked and saddened her.
