Chapter 3 (2/2)

The cold female voice rang between the three of them.

“Then I’ll die.”

The two of them looked at her.

Father Ning was stunned. “What did you say?!”

Ning Qing’s dark red lips curled up into a sad smile. “Since I’m such an eyesore to you, then let me die.”

After she died, she would no longer have to face their disdain and hate.

Mother Ning could not laugh anymore. “Qingqing, don’t talk nonsense. That’s not what your father meant.”

“Then what?”

Faced with her daughter’s cold question, Mother Ning’s eyes turned sour. “Your father just misses your sister. Coincidentally, his work has not been smooth these past few days. He doesn’t mean to be angry with you.”

Mother Ning turned to Father Ning and elbowed him. Father Ning snorted and did not reply.

In the silence, sadness spread silently.

Ning Qing lowered her sour eyes and pursed her lips. She had lost her appetite.

“I’m full.”

With that, she got up and left the dining table.

Father Ning’s anger rose again. “What do you mean full? The elders haven’t left yet, how can you leave first? Who taught you this?”

Ning Qing’s tone was cold. “Didn’t you teach me since I was young?”

Her rebuttal fueled the man’s anger.

“What did you say? Ning Qing, you’ve even learned to talk back to me now!”

“…”

“I’m not done talking. Where are you going? Come back!”

Ning Qing did not stop walking. She turned into the staircase.

Father Ning was furious. He turned around and roared at Mother Ning, “Look at her now. Isn’t it all because you spoiled her?!”

Tears shone in Mother Ning’s eyes. “So what if I did?”

Father Ning slapped the table and stood up. “It’s because she’s willful that she caused Su Su to die back then! If you still indulge her like this now, you’ll only let her make trouble for our Ning family!”

Mother Ning held back her tears. However, faced with such an unreasonable husband, she could not maintain her rationality.

“Then why did you still marry Qing Qing to Nian Lie? Don’t you know that you’re pushing your daughter into a fire pit?!”
