Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband
Chapter 2008 - 2008 Just To Meet You2008 Just To Meet You
Lin Yu held Ning Nuo’s hand and led her away from this troublesome place.
The two of them arrived at an independent platform. The night was perfect, illuminating the entire Jingdu City.
Lin Yu reached out and held her fingers, caressing them gently. “I’m sorry about my father.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s not like I don’t know what kind of person he is. Besides, how can his opinion represent yours?”
Lin Yu pulled her into his arms. No matter what, he was the one who brought her all this humiliation.
He hugged her tightly. Ning Nuo could feel him trembling.
No one wanted such a broken family and rude parents. She knew his helplessness.
Lin Yu said in a low voice, “Leave this to me. I’ll settle it quickly.”
He came back for his mother and to take revenge.
Having such a father would only speed up his pace and make him worry less.
Duan Xiuwen came out to look for them. When he saw them, he jeered, “So, you’re hiding here. Let’s go in and drink together.”
Ning Nuo couldn’t reject everyone’s good intentions, so she held Lin Yu’s hand and returned to the private room.
…
After the broadcast of Clear Water Tales, Ning Nuo received more business invitations.
Lin Yu had also interfered in many of Brother Yong’s matters. He personally chose suitable invitations and endorsements for her and tried his best to maintain her original image. He wanted to maintain Ning Nuo’s sense of mystery in front of the public.
He took every step steadily.
Brother Yong was extremely happy every day. To be able to work with his favorite brother and sister, could there be anything better in the world?
No matter how busy Ning Nuo was, she would still take time out twice a week to visit Grandma Ning.
When Grandma Ning used to live in the Ning family, Mr. and Madam Ning’s thoughts were all on Ning Luyao. Ning Luyao was too lazy to spend time with Grandma Ning, so when Grandma Ning was at home, she didn’t socialize much. Only the nanny Ning Nuo specially gave her instructions to would often accompany her.
Now that she had arrived at the sanatorium, she was surrounded by elderly people in similar situations. Grandma Ning could chat with them about family matters, so her complexion was improving.
Ning Nuo came out of the sanatorium. She took out her car keys from her bag and walked out.
“Nuo Nuo,” Madam Ning called out to her.
Ning Nuo looked up and saw her parents standing in front of her.
After Ning Luyao’s matter was confirmed, Mr. and Madam Ning felt deeply guilty and called Ning Nuo many times.
However, Ning Nuo really did not know what to say to them.
She had longed for the care and warmth of her family back then. Now that she could receive it, it was completely different from what she had wanted when she was young.
She calmly walked up to them. “Dad, Mom.”
Mrs. Ning’s eyes were filled with tears. “Are you here to see Grandma?”
“Yes.” Ning Nuo nodded gently.
“How have you been recently?” Madam Ning asked.
For many years, there had been no concern between the mother and daughter, and they did not get along much. When they greeted each other now, there was only embarrassment.
Madam Ning was not used to it.
Ning Nuo said, “Let’s find a place and sit down to talk.”
Mr. and Madam Ning couldn’t ask for more.
During this period, this matter had been torturing the two of them.
They recalled their coldness and accusations against Ning Nuo back then. Back then, they had abandoned her abroad. It was as if they had completely exiled her. Every time they thought about these things, it made them feel guilty.
Looking at Ning Nuo’s back, the couple looked ashamed.
After entering a cafe and sitting down, Ning Nuo handed them the menu.
The three of them casually ordered some drinks.
For a moment, the three of them had nothing to say.
After a long while, Madam Ning asked, “Why don’t you come home and stay with us?”
“It’s not convenient for me to go home due to work. Besides, I’m staying with my boyfriend now.” Ning Nuo refused, but she was just telling the truth.
Now, her villa was considered a small studio. Brother Yong, Sister Qing, and Tao Tao were all very close to her.
Lin Yu already had some opinions about this arrangement. He didn’t want their private time to be disturbed, so he planned to rent an office outside as the workplace of Brother Yong and the others. Firstly, it would be more formal, and secondly, other employees would join in the future. It would be more convenient for everyone.
However, considering Ning Nuo’s safety and privacy, he let them stay there for the time being.
Now, Ning Nuo’s parents wanted her to go back home? That was impossible.
Madam Ning also recalled that she and Mr. Ning had asked Lin Yu for private investment before and felt a little embarrassed.
Madam Ning was disappointed.
Her two daughters were both estranged now. The elderly couple were in a miserable state in their later years.
Madam Ning wanted to say something else.
Ning Nuo was the first to speak. “Mom, you visit Ning Luyao often, right?”
Madam Ning opened her mouth. “No, I only visit her because…”
She was anxious to defend herself. It was as if she would never get Ning Nuo to change her mind if she really did go to see Ning Luyao.
Ning Nuo said indifferently, “That’s not what I meant. It’s normal for you to visit her. After all, your mother-daughter relationship can’t be completely changed overnight.”
Madam Ning lowered her head.
She really couldn’t let go. Even though she hated Ning Luyao for doing those things and felt bad about being deceived by her…
The feelings from the past were not fake. She could not completely abandon Ning Luyao in just a moment.
Human emotions were just so complicated.
Sometimes, these feelings would slowly fade away, but what had been sacrificed would always be stronger.
Ning Nuo said slowly, “Just like how your feelings for Ning Luyao can’t change overnight, our relationship can’t go back to how it was so quickly. Mom, do you understand what I mean? Rather than forcing each other and accommodating each other, it’s better to maintain the same relationship and not change it.”
She had also thought about how she would return home after Ning Luyao’s matter was exposed and the truth was revealed.
But she had figured it out. Over the years, she had become a hedgehog due to the past. There was no way their family could go back to their good old days.
Her relationship with her parents could not be made up for due to all the trauma.
She could open herself up to others, but in front of them, she still had her guard up.
Instead of giving each other a chance to hurt each other in the future, it was better to keep a distance now.
“Nuo Nuo, I hope that the misunderstanding between us can be resolved. In the future…”
“Mom, you’ll always be my mother. Dad is also my father. I can’t change that. But we don’t have to force anything else,” Ning Nuo said calmly.
Mr. and Madam Ning felt terrible.
But what Ning Nuo said did make sense.
When she needed them the most, she was alone. What else could they give her now?
She didn’t need anything.
Ning Nuo stood up and said, “I’ll leave first.”
She left very calmly. She knew that she would have to take on the responsibility of supporting her parents in the future, but other than that, there would really be nothing else.
