Chapter 1639: Ning Shuqian Is Mad?
Verifying her guess, Ning Yuya saw that Ning Shuqian was looking all devastated and stoned and couldn’t help but grit her teeth and say, “Who are you looking like this for! It’s all your fault for not being able to keep this child. If this child could be born smoothly, not only would you become the legitimate Madam Wen, it would even make it easy for us to deal with Wen Xinya…”
If she could get a boy in her first try, no matter what, the Wen Family’s successor wouldn’t be Wen Xinya.
So what if it was a girl—Old Mr. Wen was in the pink of health and the Wen Family wouldn’t be handed to Wen Xinya for the time being. Under the learned teachings of the Wen Family since young, would the girl be worse than Wen Xinya, that girl who had led a wandering life for fifteen years and suddenly rose to riches? Come that time, the successor of the Wen Family would still be an unknown.
Even if this child wasn’t as outstanding as Wen Xinya, as the descendant of the Wen Family, she would also get a portion of the Wen Family’s fortune in the future and the ma.s.sive wealth of the Wen Family wouldn’t all go to Wen Xinya either.
No matter what, Ning Shuqian as her mother and she as her sister would definitely enjoy wealthy lives without worrying about money.
The hysterical look on Ning Shuqian’s face gradually appeared.
Her pitch-black eyes were stoned, dark, and expressionless as they suddenly gazed at Ning Yuya.
“How did I end up with such a useless…” Ning Yuya’s voice suddenly stopped as she met with those eyes which were so horrifying that they didn’t pale in comparison to that of ghosts in horror films. She couldn’t help but feel gooseb.u.mps all over her body and feel cold.
She subconsciously took a step back.
“Bang—”
The crisp sound suddenly broke the odd silence in the room.
The hysterical emotions in Ning Shuqian’s head suddenly retracted as the thousands of skeletons and spirits struggling within her pitch-black eyes which looked like the eerie underworld instantly faded off.
“Phew… gave me a scare.” Ning Yuya subconsciously turned around and saw that she had accidentally knocked over the vase on the cupboard, causing it to fall to the ground and shatter into pieces.
Ning Yuya instinctively looked over at Ning Shuqian.
Ning Shuqian was sitting on the hospital bed, stoning with a hazy and devastated expression, as if the ghost-like gaze wanting to swallow someone alive was just her imagination.
Was it her imagination?
Ning Yuya couldn’t help but ask herself in her heart.
Then, she couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Ning Shuqian. Realizing that she indeed looked quite normal, she couldn’t help but give herself a pat on the chest and heave a sigh of relief.
Ever since she started taking drugs, she would often feel out of sorts. It was indeed her hallucination.
Ning Yuya lost her patience and said angrily, “Mother, I’ve finished spending all my money.”
She spoke with an unpleasant tone and her cloudy eyes were cold, without the least bit of concern, not realizing at all that her mother had just escaped death and was still very weak. It was as if the person lying on the hospital bed was a stranger which was unrelated to her.
Ning Shuqian stated at her with her pitch-black eyes. “You, scram!”
The teeth-grinding voice was so eerie that it made one’s gooseb.u.mps stand.
Her child was gone!
She had nothing left!
She still dared to ask her for money?
The deeply addicted Ning Yuya wouldn’t leave easily without getting any money. “Stop it. Hurry up, I still have an appointment later.”
Ning Yuya frowned in exasperation. Ning Yuya was also rather unhappy with Ning Shuqian. Previously when she asked Ning Shuqian for money, although she would lecture her, she would almost give her whatever she wanted. However, in the recent two years, whenever she asked Ning Shuqian for money, not only did she give her increasingly less, it was considered good if she lectured her—she even often hit and scolded her, sometimes even unwilling to give her money.
After a while, a sense of resentment towards Ning Shuqian arose in her heart and their relations.h.i.+p gradually soured.
“Come here!” Ning Shuqian waved to Ning Yuya mysteriously.
Ning Yuya was overjoyed, thinking that Ning Shuqian was giving in, and walked over hurriedly. “Mother, the meager amount you gave me the previous time wasn’t enough at all. I don’t care, today you can’t just brush me off like how you’d brush off a cab driver.”
Ning Yuya’s heart ached for Ning Shuqian’s miscarriage.
However, the most important for her was to have enough money to spend—nothing else mattered.
Ning Shuqian looked at her as a strange expression appeared on her pale face. “I don’t have any money. I do have a life, do you want to take it?”
Regardless of how close they were, the years had taken a toll on their relations.h.i.+p.
However, Ning Shuqian had never expected that this daughter that she had never treated poorly in her life was actually a heartless villain.
She had just escaped death and miscarried. As her daughter, she actually didn’t come to the hospital to console, show concern, or take care of her—instead, she came to ask her for money. Instantly, her heart became extremely cold.
Ning Yuya swallowed her saliva as she somehow panicked when she saw Ning Shuqian’s extremely ghastly expression. “Mother, hehe! You can give me however much you deem fit…”
Somehow, she felt that Ning Shuqian turned slightly horrifying.
Somewhat like…
Like…
Oh yes, like the way she looked when she lost her mind, acted deliriously, and didn’t recognize anyone previously.
She then brushed off the slightly ridiculous thought in her mind. Ning Shuqian’s hysteria had healed completely and hadn’t acted up in so many years.
Ning Shuqian smiled in an eerie manner. “There’s a way for you to get money…”
Hearing this, Ning Yuya couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief, even neglecting Ning Shuqian’s eerie smile.
Ning Shuqian grabbed Ning Yuya’s wrist. “If you can revive my child, I’ll give you whatever sum you want.”
Ning Shuqian’s mind was filled with that miscarried child right now.
Her emotions were stoned at the thought of losing that child.
Hearing this, Ning Yuya suddenly took a step back and looked at her in disbelief. “You… you… I think you’re mad!”
That child had already been miscarried.
How could it be revived?
Previously, she had already felt that Ning Shuqian was off. Now it seemed that she wasn’t off but was already mad.
Ning Yuya was enraged. “Ning Shuqian, what’s exactly the matter with you? I’ve only asked you for some money—don’t tell me things like you don’t have money. If you didn’t accidentally miscarry, you’d still be carrying the Wen Family’s child now…”
“Scram—” Ning Shuqian suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs.
Ning Yuya was scared out of wits and almost couldn’t support her own weight. “Let me tell you, don’t think you can brush me off just like this today…”
“Are you scramming or not?” Ning Shuqian suddenly threw the snow-white pillow at Ning Yuya hysterically.
Ning Yuya shook all over and said with a trembling voice, “You… don’t try to scare…”
“You, scram—” Ning Shuqian got up from the bed and dashed towards Ning Yuya with all that she’d got like she had lost her mind.
“Ah—” Ning Yuya shrieked, suddenly took numerous steps back, and couldn’t help it but turn back and dash out of the ward.
Ning Shuqian’s body went weak as she felt to the ground. Crawling on the ground, she started crying hysterically.
What wrong had she done to deserve this!
