    I’m cold

    The soaked clothes were tightly wrapped around the thin body, and there were still water droplets dripping down. The originally straight and smooth black hair was also messed up, sticking wet to the scalp.At this moment, Zuo Ning looked extremely embarrassed.

    “Ning Ning…”

    “Zuo Shuyuan, can I ask you a question?”

    Zuo Ning leaned back against the wall, stretched out his hand to wipe away the water droplets rolling down his forehead, and looked at the woman in front of him expressionlessly, “I have been wanting to ask you this question for many years. What am I to you? A tool with no use value? Or, in other words, a stepping stone that blocks your life?”

    Zuo Shuyuan looked at her steadily, her eyes full of shame, but she still couldn’t say a word.

    Zuo Ning smiled mockingly: “You know? Before today, I kept telling myself that you abandoned me just because you were a heartless woman and didn’t know how to be a mother. But now…ah, it’s so ridiculous. It turns out that it’s not that you don’t know how to be a mother, but that I, Zuo Ning, don’t deserve your care and love, right?”

    I am just a chess piece you used to marry into the Zheng family. Because your illusions were shattered, I have no use value, so I have become a burden to you and become trash that you can throw away at will.What about the son you gave birth to later?You don’t need to rely on he to gain your status as the main wife, but you are still so concerned and nervous about he, because you are his mother and you love him very much, right?”

    Zuo Shuyuan slowly closed her eyes, and after a long time she choked and said: “Ning Ning, I’m sorry, I was young and ignorant at that time…”

    “Young? Ignorant?” Zuo Ning seemed to have heard some very funny joke, “You were twenty when you gave birth to me, and you were thirty-two when you abandoned me. Are you all young and ignorant? What about now?

    Now, you are forty-seven years old, and your biological daughter jumped into the swimming pool to save your son, but you suspect that I have evil intentions and are worried that I will harm him. Is it because you are young and ignorant?Zuo Shuyuan, seeing how I look now, have you ever worried about your daughter who has always been afraid of water and never dared to swim?”

    Seeing her expression, Zuo Ning suddenly laughed out loud: “So… you don’t remember. No, I should say, you don’t know at all. You don’t know that I’m afraid of water, you don’t know that I don’t dare to swim, and you don’t know why all this is happening, right?”

    “Ning Ning…”

    “Then let me tell you now, because when I was in swimming class in the fourth grade of elementary school, I drowned. The teacher didn’t notice it at the time, but a few classmates did, but none of them reported it to the teacher. They just watched with gloating on the shore.

    Because they said, I am just a bastard who was born and raised by no one; because they said, my mother was a vixen who hooked up with men every day and destroyed other people’s families; because they said, I am not a good person, and it would be better to die.All of this is thanks to you, but you don’t know it.”

    After laughing at himself for a long time, Zuo Ning sighed again and shook his head: “That’s right, how could you know? You don’t know how many times I was called to the office by the teacher because you never attended parent-teacher meetings; you don’t know how many insults I suffered at school because of my unspeakable life experience;

    You don’t know that the man you brought back rushed into my room while you were not at home and wanted to do something to me; you don’t know that I didn’t dare to go home during those days, so I lived at the entrance of the alley with the grandmother who was scavenging; you don’t know that when I was twelve years old, if I hadn’t been adopted by the Jiang family, I would have starved to death outside;

    You don’t even know that when I wrote you into my novel, I was scolded by readers. They said I made it up to create plot conflicts. They said there is no such mother in the world.Really not?If not, who are you?

    Zuo Shuyuan, when you knew I was worthless, why didn’t you just be more cruel and strangle me to death?If you let me live, why do you want me to suffer those things?The same child you gave birth to, why can he get all your love, while I can only be thrown around like garbage by you?What is the difference between me and he?”

    Zuo Shuyuan’s face was pale, her whole body was shaking, her mouth moved slightly, but in the end she still didn’t say a word.

    Looking at her expression quietly, Zuo Ning smiled and shook his head: “Forget it, forget it, why am I telling you this? Do I still expect you to recognize me as my daughter? Even if you do, I don’t want you now. I don’t want you anymore. I don’t want you anymore.”

    “Ning Ning…”

    “When I was fourteen years old, I no longer wanted to be called Zuo Ning, because my father’s surname was Jiang, my mother’s surname was Feng, and I had two older brothers who loved me. My parents said they wanted to change my household registration and treat me as their biological daughter. I also wanted to be surnamed Jiang, and I wanted to completely break away from you and Zheng Chenghua. Unfortunately, you are still alive and well. The adoption process cannot be completed, and my relationship with you is always cut off.

    Now, there is no one in the Jiang family, but I am still their daughter. No matter what my surname is, I am still their biological daughter. Therefore, the relationship between us should be completely ended today.You don’t want your husband and son to know my existence anyway, right?

    Fifteen years ago, you left me and went with another man, but there was not even a complete goodbye between us.Later, I became famous for writing books. You called me and asked me how I was doing, but you never mentioned to me that you abandoned me.Two years ago, we were playing truth or dare. I took the opportunity to call you. What I heard was the harmonious voices of your family of three. You told them that I sell insurance, ha, I sell insurance…

    Now, it’s not easy to meet each other, so let’s say goodbye seriously.From now on, there will be no more relationship between us. You can love your son and care about your family to your heart’s content. I will not hate you, let alone embarrass them or you.Just do the same as before, pretend that you never had a daughter like me, and we…just be strangers.”

    “Ning Ning…” Apart from these two words, the woman who had been choking could not say anything else.

    “Help me take her out.” Zuo Ning glanced weakly at Qiu Yibai, who was closest to the door, “Let her go, she’s just a stranger, I don’t want to see her again.”

    Watching the woman leave and listening to the sound of the villa opening and closing, Zuo Ning’s hands hanging by his sides were clenched so tightly that even his nails were deeply embedded in his flesh, but in the end, she still didn’t shed a single tear.

    His whole body fell limply into Wen Kaian’s arms. Zuo Ning stretched out his trembling hands and hugged He’s neck tightly, saying softly: “Take me to take a bath, I’m cold.”

    “Okay.”
