Chapter 3
Mr. Nian, Your Wife Refuses To Be The Substitute
Su Su Was Killed Because Of Her Willfulness!
Ning Qing did not sleep last night and returned to the Ning family the next morning.
Father Ning and Mother Ning were eating breakfast. They were very surprised to see her return.
âQing Qing?â Mother Ning put down her chopsticks and walked over. âWhy didnât you tell me you were coming back? Hurry, come and sit down.â
Ning Qing followed her movements and sat down at the dining table. âDad, Mom.â
âYou must not have eaten since you came back so early, right? Come, eat some.â Mother Ning was full of smiles as she eagerly brought her chopsticks.
âOkay.â
âHow is your body recovering? Are you feeling better?â
Ning Qingâs throat was dry. She only said, âYes. Mom, leave it. Iâll do it myself.â
After sitting down and eating two mouthfuls, Father Ning suddenly said, âDid you quarrel with Nian Lie?â
Ning Qingâs smile faded.
Father Ning noticed her expression and looked serious. âNing Qing, youâre a married person now, not a 15 or 16-year-old child. How can you go to your parentâs house after a fight?â
Mother Ning frowned. âThe child has just returned. Why are you saying this?!â
âIâm her father. Why canât I criticize her?â
Ning Qing lowered her head and did not speak.
Father Ningâs expression turned ugly.
âShe has not been peaceful since she was young. Sheâs still like this after getting married. Sheâs not mature at all. She doesnât look like a married woman.â
âWeâre both daughters, but your feelings have always been obedient and sensible. You know not to worry me. What about you?â
âYou really canât compare to your sister at all!â
Every curse was heard, and Ning Qingâs heart turned cold.
Her grip on the chopsticks became stronger and stronger, causing her fingers to hurt. She could not help but raise her head to stop him. âDad.â
Father Ning was interrupted and could not catch his breath.
âLook at you. You donât have any manners at all! In the future, donât say that youâre my Ning familyâs daughter. I canât afford to lose face like this!â
Mother Ning could not stand it anymore and reprimanded, âNing Chengfeng, stop talking. The child has just recovered. Youâ¦â
Pa!
Her chopsticks hit the table with a clear sound.
The cold female voice rang between the three of them.
âThen Iâll die.â
The two of them looked at her.
Father Ning was stunned. âWhat did you say?!â
Ning Qingâs dark red lips curled up into a sad smile. âSince Iâm such an eyesore to you, then let me die.â
After she died, she would no longer have to face their disdain and hate.
Mother Ning could not laugh anymore. âQingqing, donât talk nonsense. Thatâs not what your father meant.â
âThen what?â
Faced with her daughterâs cold question, Mother Ningâs eyes turned sour. âYour father just misses your sister. Coincidentally, his work has not been smooth these past few days. He doesnât mean to be angry with you.â
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.
âIâm full.â
With that, she got up and left the dining table.
Father Ningâs anger rose again. âWhat do you mean full? The elders havenât left yet, how can you leave first? Who taught you this?â
Ning Qingâs tone was cold. âDidnât you teach me since I was young?â
Her rebuttal fueled the manâs anger.
âWhat did you say? Ning Qing, youâve even learned to talk back to me now!â
ââ¦â
âIâm not done talking. Where are you going? Come back!â
Ning Qing did not stop walking. She turned into the staircase.
Father Ning was furious. He turned around and roared at Mother Ning, âLook at her now. Isnât it all because you spoiled her?!â
Tears shone in Mother Ningâs eyes. âSo what if I did?â
Father Ning slapped the table and stood up. âItâs because sheâs willful that she caused Su Su to die back then! If you still indulge her like this now, youâll only let her make trouble for our Ning family!â
Mother Ning held back her tears. However, faced with such an unreasonable husband, she could not maintain her rationality.
âThen why did you still marry Qing Qing to Nian Lie? Donât you know that youâre pushing your daughter into a fire pit?!â
