Chapter 2845: Her Father’s Other Daughter
The original host had always adopted an indifferent attitude toward this illegitimate sister.
Ding Xueqing would never admit to outsiders that this was her sister.
She would just say that this was just her father’s other daughter.
The original host blamed Ding Yan for betraying her mother, and the relationship between father and daughter had never been good.
On the other side, there was Ding Yan and Ding Ningdie.
Every time Ding Ningdie looked at Ding Yan, she would use a cautious and adoring gaze, as though she wanted to get close but didn’t dare to.
She would make tea for Ding Yan and silently do things for him.
Anyone who saw this would soften their hearts. Ding Yan always defended her either intentionally or unintentionally.
If they weren’t father and daughter, Ning Shu would’ve suspected that they had a different kind of relationship.
Ding Yan had told Ding Ningdie to apologize to Ning Shu. Ding Ningdie’s eyes, bathed with tears, looked extremely moist and glassy. Her eyelashes were wet, making them stand out even more.
If a man were to meet such pitiful eyes, his heart would probably turn to water. However, Ning Shu was not a man.
Ning Shu continued looking at Ding Ningdie expressionlessly.
“What’s the use of apologies? She had already gotten involved with Bai Hanmo for such a long time. If I hadn’t discovered it now, who knows how long they would’ve kept me in the dark.” Mother Ding turned pale and looked at her husband, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Mother Ding was a wealthy and powerful upper-class woman. She had a strong sense of propriety. Even when Ding Ningdie’s mother had shown up at their doors with a child, Mother Ding was still able to handle the situation calmly.
Now her body trembled with anger and she sneered at Ding Yan, “What are you going to do? Bai Hanmo is clearly my daughter’s fiancé.”
Ding Yan furrowed his brows, appearing somewhat annoyed by how overbearing Mother Ding was being. “Either way, the Ding and Bai families will still be connected by marriage…”
Ding Yan hadn’t even finished speaking when he was sharply interrupted by Mother Ding, “You sure have things planned out well, don’t you? Since the two families will be united in marriage, as long as it’s one of your daughters it’s fine?”
“And my daughter? My daughter Xueqing? What would become of Xueqing’s reputation?”
Over the years, the couple’s marital relationship had been very indifferent, even becoming ice-cold.
Ning Shu grabbed Mother Ding’s cold hand. She led her to sit and calmly said, “Mom, don’t worry. Worrying won’t solve this issue.”
Mother Ding took a deep breath and sat down. Seeing the kneeling Ding Ningdie, her eyes filled with a deep-rooted loathing.
She’d previously disregarded this illegitimate daughter, but now she felt loathing and disgust.
Ding Ningdie immediately cowered at her gaze and looked tearily at Ning Shu. “Sister, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I know he’s my brother-in-law, but I love him. I’ll die without him.”
“I know my existence is wretched, but Brother-in-law is the only thing I want to strive for in my life.”
Ding Ningdie’s words were weak yet barbed. They spoke of how pitiful she was, how humble her position was, and the fact that she had nothing, while also conveying her standpoint.
She’d also addressed Bai Hanmo as ‘Brother-in-law’ to purposefully provoke them.
Having grown up in a wealthy and powerful family from a young age, how could she really be this pure? Ha ha…
Don’t forget, Ding Ningdie also had an actress as her mother.
She’d been helping her mother with cash all this time. Mother Ding was so angry that she trembled all over, her chest heaving fiercely. If she’d known this would happen, she would’ve put Ding Ningdie’s head in a toilet and drowned her from the start.
Ning Shu’s expression remained calm. “Without your brother-in-law, you won’t be able to live anymore?”
Ning Shu also used the term brother-in-law. Let’s see who could handle more disgust?
Ding Ningdie’s damp eyelashes trembled and she seemed very afraid of Ning Shu. Finally, she nodded firmly and said, “Yes, Sister, Bai Hanmo and I sincerely love each other.”
