Chapter 2847: After All, She Was Strong
Since she was strong, she should back off. Since she was strong, even if she’d been hurt, it didn’t matter. After all, she was strong.
Since Ding Ningdie was the sensitive and insecure illegitimate daughter, she needed to be carefully protected.
Ding Yan clearly didn’t like Ning Shu’s retort.
Ning Shu hadn’t shown the least bit of respect for him even though he was her father. She wasn’t like the lovable Ding Ningdie, who softly and obediently called out ‘Papa’ and looked at him with an adoring and respectful gaze.
She was completely unlike the eldest daughter, who looked at him with disdain in her eyes as if he were some sinner.
It was simply unpleasant.
“That’s not what I meant. Your sister and Bai Hanmo are already at the point of no return. Xueqing, you are more outstanding than your sister, so you will definitely find a better man.” Ding Yan furrowed his brows, holding back his temper as he spoke.
He wanted to resolve this matter peacefully.
Ning Shu propped her chin up and said, “So the fact that I’m outstanding is another fault of mine? The fact that Ding Ningdie doesn’t have any skills except crying and sniveling works as another reason to blackmail other people?”
Who asked you to be so outstanding? I don’t have any good points, so it’s very hard to come across a man that likes me. Since you were so outstanding, you shouldn’t compete with me.
It was Ning Shu’s first time seeing this kind of logic. The weak were always justified, so the stronger side should simply back off?
It was simply bandit logic.
Could it be that Ding Yan didn’t know that this situation was inappropriate?
Naturally, he had to know, but because he was biased towards Ding Ningdie, he planned to sacrifice his eldest daughter instead.
Ding Ningdie silently shed tears and they drew lines down her face. Her crying was clean and refined. Her voice choked with emotion as she said, “I was set up. At a party, I was drugged and while still delirious, ended up having a relationship with Brother-in-law. I didn’t mean to do it.”
Ning Shu nodded and said, “Can you wipe away your snot and tears? Don’t you know how disgusting you look when you cry?”
Ding Ningdie continued to silently cry and bit her lip, appearing very lovely and pitiful.
“We need to resolve this problem, not make things more complicated. Don’t be so aggressive,” Ding Yan said.
Ning Shu spread her hands. This was the definition of a little white flower. Ding Ningdie just needed to cry beautifully and delicately and someone would naturally stand up for her.
“What’s there to discuss? Don’t you just want Ding Ningdie to replace me in the marriage with the Bai family? You’ve already decided on this, what else is there to discuss? You brought her here purely to disgust me,” Ning Shu said coldly.
Ding Yan’s complexion turned ugly. “You’re of equal importance to me. You are both my daughters. There’s no favoritism. Since these things have already happened, what else can I do? I have to choose the lesser of two evils, the greater of two benefits.”
Ning Shu understood Ding Yan’s thinking, but the original host couldn’t accept this. It was natural to avoid harm and seek profit, so this was the best plan for the Ding family.
However, the original host couldn’t let go of the resentment she felt inside.
So things would not go as Ding Yan planned.
Ning Shu looked at Ding Ningdie’s aggrieved appearance. Ding Ningdie had gotten the upper hand in everything as she wished, yet she insisted on looking like she was suffering terribly.
Her behavior was seriously infuriating.
The original host’s life also didn’t turn out to be very good after this.
Clearly, it had been Ding Ningdie’s mother who gave birth to a daughter, hoping to obtain wealth and riches from this.
For all these years, the Ding family raised Ding Ningdie from childhood to adulthood without any shortage of food or clothing. To be blunt, they simply disregarded her existence.
After all, was the Ding family expected to worship an illegitimate daughter like she was their ancestor?
However, in the eyes of others, that made her a pitiful existence. Wasn’t she so pitiful?
Her existence was disregarded, no one cared about her. Bai Hanmo believed that these were Mother Ding and the original host’s faults.
That was why Ding Ningdie had suffered so much growing up.
In addition, after the affair, the original host and her mother hated Ding Ningdie and bitterly cursed her.
They were always hitting Ding Ningdie or cursing at her.
Every time, Bai Hanmo would come just in time to save Ding Ningdie from dire situations.
