Chapter 2851: We Need to Plan For Ourselves
“But originally it should have been you marrying into the Bai family. The Bai family has a prominent position in the business world.”
“So what if they have a prominent position?” said Ning Shu.
“Mom, the situation has already happened, we need to plan for ourselves.”
“Don’t worry, Mom will find a way to resolve this matter. I definitely won’t let that illegitimate daughter get away with it easily.” Mother Ding grabbed Ning Shu’s hand forcefully, causing her hand to ache.
Ning Shu didn’t bat an eyelid as she said, “Mom, I won’t marry Bai Hanmo. Judging from Bai Hanmo’s behavior, he insists on marrying Ding Ningdie.”
“I can’t accept this insult. I raised a vicious snake that stole your place in this marriage. What will others think of you? How will they look at you?”
“When you’re successful, they’ll gather around you with additional flowers to add to the brocade. But when you’re facing hardships, there’s no telling what they might say about you behind your back, Xueqing. It’s all because your mother is useless.” Mother Ding embraced Ning Shu’s waist, sobbing in her arms.
Ning Shu gently patted Mother Ding’s back and said softly, “I can’t control what others say. However, we need to prepare an escape plan.”
“Right now, Bai Hanmo is going to marry Ding Ningdie. With the success of one person, everyone in their household will rise in status. If she wanted to change her status, we might be kicked out.”
Mother Ding lifted her head from Ning Shu’s embrace and wiped away her tears.
Ning Shu continued, “Dad is a businessman, and businessmen value profit. I am also Dad’s daughter, but I have been wronged and he hasn’t said a word.”
He was afraid it might anger Bai Hanmo and cause the marriage between the Bai and Ding families to fail.
So without hesitation, he chose not to say a single word.
“For the sake of profit, he may abandon us, so we must make plans early,” Ning Shu said with a grave expression.
There was hesitation in Mother Ding’s expression. “He wouldn’t.”
Ning Shu calmly stated, “Father had always favored Ding Ningdie from the beginning, and if Bai Hanmo told him to marry Ding Ningdie’s mother… There can only be one Mrs. Ding. If one wants to take that position, the person in the position must be removed.”
“So, we can’t simply hope for the best, Mother. Are you still not able to give up on Father?” Ning Shu asked, meeting Mother Ding’s gaze.
“If anything happened to us, Father would undoubtedly not intervene.”
“Give me a moment to think,” Mother Ding said as she massaged her temples.
Ning Shu remained patient, as she knew that even though Mother Ding currently harbored resentment towards Ding Yan, the thought of giving up on him still scared her.
In the past, Mother Ding had even been able to accept the existence of an illegitimate daughter. The only reason why she was so enraged right now was for the sake of her own daughter.
Women have often demonstrated considerable tolerance towards men.
Moreover, such situations were not uncommon in affluent and influential families.
Men possessed the means to maintain a carefree and unrestrained lifestyle, with many people choosing to ignore their actions.
“Go and get some rest,” Ning Shu said to Mother Ding.
Mother Ding nodded, her exhaustion evident.
Ning Shu gently patted Mother Ding’s hand and advised, “When you encounter Ding Ningdie, don’t make things hard for her, and don’t get into conflict with her. Now that Bai Hanmo is backing her, resorting to force will only lead to our disadvantage.”
“Can you endure it?” Mother Ding asked.
Ning Shu nodded, “Of course, I can bear it. After all, acting out in the moment is useless in the long run.”
“In that case, I can bear it as well,” Mother Ding declared, her expression unwavering and resolute.
Ning Shu smiled and responded, “You’re the best, Mom.”
Mother Ding glanced at Ning Shu. “Even in these circumstances, you can still laugh?”
Mother Ding epitomized the image of an affluent and influential lady, adorned in sparkling jewels and reaping the benefits of her privileged status.
Under normal circumstances, she would indulge in leisurely shopping and get facials.
Mother Ding affectionately patted Ning Shu’s head. “I will make sure you find happiness.”
Ning Shu expressed agreement, “Take your time. There’s no need to rush.”
After Mother Ding left, Ning Shu began to meditate while sitting on the bed.
Considering the Bai family’s employment of retired special forces soldiers as bodyguards, it was evident that physical strength was a necessity.
The yang energy within the surroundings surged toward Ning Shu’s body.
