Chapter 1605: The Master of This Family
The old man asking Ning Shu to support the family meant that he was completely delegating his power to her. From now on, Ning Shu would be the master of this family.
Shi Sinan’s attempted suicide failed. When she woke up, she kept blankly staring at the ceiling and shedding tears silently.
The doctor said that Shi Sinan’s health was deteriorating because of her fat, which was a burden on her body. She would also suffer from anemia since she had lost so much blood.
After listening to the doctor, Ning Shu said to Shi Sinan, “You are only eighteen now. Is this how you want to live your entire life? Pull yourself together.”
Shi Sinan’s eyes moved slightly. She focused on Ning Shu’s face and said in a hoarse voice, “Mom, you don’t understand. I can’t live without Uncle. Mom…”
Ning Shu: Kneels…
Ning Shu stopped paying attention to Shi Sinan. The child in the surrogate mother’s belly was born; it was a six-pound boy.
After Ning Shu rushed to the hospital, she held the wrapped child in her hands. She would raise this one properly.
The good thing was that Ning Shu had been a wet nurse several times and was not flustered one bit. She brought the child along even when heading to work. Hence, the office lounge was full of all kinds of baby supplies.
The old man was glad to learn that he had a grandson. He would wait for Ning Shu to bring the child back from work every day.
“Good, good…” The old man squeezed the child’s hand, and his face was full of smiles. He kissed the child’s hand before asking Ning Shu, “Who’s the father of this child?”
“He was selected from the sperm bank,” said Ning Shu.
At this moment, Shi Sinan was coming downstairs. When she saw the old man holding the child in his arms, she sized him up and asked, “Grandpa, who is this child?”
After Shi Sinan slit her wrists and left the hospital, she started living like a wandering soul. She didn’t care about anybody and just hid in her room all day.
Now, there was an extra half-brother, but she didn’t even know.
The old man said with a smile, “This is your brother. Grandpa is still thinking of a name.”
Shi Sinan froze and stammered, “Mom, how could you? How can you do this to Dad?”
Ning Shu: …
The fuck? What did she do?
“This brother is your child with another man.” Shi Sinan bit her lips. “It’s not right for you to do that.”
Ning Shu: →_→
Your father had already re-established a family, but your mother had to keep her body for him? They were both women; why was she so harsh toward her own mother?
When the old man heard Shi Sinan’s words, his face also darkened. However, he lowered his head to coax the child.
The atmosphere was frozen. As if sensing it, the child in the old man’s arms cried uneasily. The old man didn’t know how to coax him, so he kept saying, “Good grandson, don’t cry. Do not cry, ah…”
Ning Shu took over the baby. With his arms now free, the old man said to Shi Sinan, “Since you are well, go to school. You can’t just stay at home all day.”
Shi Sinan hurriedly shook her head. She did not want to go to school. With her appearance, how could she face others? She didn’t even want to live; why would she still care about learning?
The old man waved his hand feebly. “Then, behave, and don’t wander around.”
Shi Sinan’s tears started cascading down. Everyone was cold to her to the extreme. Her grandpa and mom hated her, her uncle had died, and now, a brother had appeared out of nowhere.
Shi Sinan fell into another bout of sadness. In the entire world, she was the most miserable.
When Ning Shu saw Shi Sinan like this, she really could not understand. Could it be that after finding a cool and handsome man with strong capabilities, a woman’s life was complete? After sleeping with him, she didn’t have to do anything else except wait to be spoiled? She could just live under the man’s shelter?
Shi Sinan turned around and ran upstairs to her room. She was probably going to cause more trouble now.
Ning Shu felt quite tired. She hadn’t felt this helpless even when facing Xi Mucheng. There was no way to solve the communication barrier.
Ning Shu prepared milk powder and fed it to the child. She then asked the old man, “Dad, what do we do about Sinan?”
“Leave her for now.” The old man sighed. They would just treat it as if they were raising this person for free.
Ning Shu had nothing to say. Shi Sinan was the granddaughter of the old man and Shi Lina’s daughter. It wasn’t her place to make the decision.
