Chapter 571: Why Did Your Father Leave Your Mother and You?
What Xia Ning said at the press conference was soon spread on the Internet. Netizens had already been waiting for this day for a long time.
Public remarks on Shen Weiran and the Shen family were so bad that the Shen Group’s stocks had already fallen disastrously.
“d.a.m.n, I know Shen Weiran has been of no good as a mistress’s daughter. Shen Weiran coveted not only the position of the first wife’s daughter but also her husband. How shameless is she!”
“I know that Su Yi. He was a talented director and screenwriter. He helped boost Shen Chuxia’s first drama and made it very popular. I did not expect that they were a couple. No wonder Xia Ning performs very well. She comes from a family with drama backgrounds.”
“How could a good-looking man like Su Yi be attracted to an old woman like Shen Weiran? As far as I know, Shen Weiran is 10 years older than Shen Chuxia and Su Yi was four years older than Shen Chuxia. It was really shameless of Shen Weiran to covet a man 6 years younger than her, like an old cow who wanted to eat young gra.s.s.
“How could a handsome man like Su Yi be interested in a woman with adulterous affairs like Shen Weiran? She has thick skin. I recently heard that Song Bocheng is going to divorce her and have produced a divorce settlement. This kind of woman should be abandoned!”
“I thought it over and felt pity for Xia Ning’s mother, who had such a father, such a brother, and such a malicious half-sister.”
“Every time I see Xia Ning criticize bad people, I feel very happy. I antic.i.p.ate that Xia Ning will get back the stocks belonging to her mother and make those evil people pay for their own wrongs.”
In the car, Xia Ning looked at her cell phone’s screen. In fact, she had already been numb with netizens’ remarks. But she would feel good about anything that could make Shen Weiran unhappy.
At that time, Shen Weiran had blocked her mother’s progress for too many times. If Shen Weiran had not s.n.a.t.c.hed her mother’s role as the heroine, her mother would never be mediocre in the entertainment industry. She robbed her mother of not only her ident.i.ty as the elder daughter of the Shen family but also her role as the heroine. She still wanted to rob her mother of her husband. Every time, the mere thought of this woman made Xia Ning want to destroy her.
The car was running on the streets with blasts of freezing cold wind from the outside blowing on the gla.s.s windows constantly. But it was very warm inside the car.
The traffic light turned red, Qiao Yu stopped the car. He looked at Xia Ning and found her reading the comments of the video aired live today. He hesitated momentarily and said, “You have never mentioned Father and Mother to me.”
Xia Ning froze. She looked up at Qiao Yu in puzzlement. Thinking it over, she realized that by Father and Mother, Qiao Yu meant her parents. He seemed to have asked this question when they got married.
She remembered at that time he told her he could visit her parents and relatives at any time.
How did she answer him? Did she say that her parents had pa.s.sed away and she had no relatives? At that time, she seemed to be alert to him, always feeling that he wanted to pry into something.
When Qiao Yu saw Xia Ning say nothing, his eyes grew dim. “Is it inconvenient to tell me?”
Xia Ning smiled and shook her head, “No.” She sighed lightly, “I just don’t know where I should begin.”
“Then you can say anything you want.” Qiao Yu looked forward and relaxed, for he did not step on a landmine.
After being silent for a while, Xia Ning suddenly said, “Father was an arrogant, sarcastic and conceited man. Mother was a th.o.r.n.y rose, warm but tingling. For as long as I can remember, they often bickered with each other. But Father would always yield to Mother. Father was a romantic person who would always give Mother surprises. At that time, Mother should be the happiest woman in the world. We all thought that that kind of happiness would last. That is until Father left without saying goodbye.”
Seeing Xia Ning’s face clouded over, Qiao Yu asked, “Why did Father leave Mother and you?”
