My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

“Their sisterhood had gone on for twenty-two years, yet she believed in the maidservant’s one-sided statement instead of my Mom. Why couldn’t she send charcoal to my mom in snowy weather, but she could send it to my mother’s man? There were cracks in the relationship between my mom and her man. Why didn’t she help to mediate and instead immediately marry him? Grandma needed someone to take care of her. Did Ning Family has no maid at home? My dad drank his sorrows away, did it also mean that he misbehaved?”

“She took advantage of her best friend’s divorce to quickly step foot in the other’s marriage. Was she after my dad’s heart or his money? At what point in those twenty years did she set her eyes on him? Had she been waiting for this opportunity? Nodding in approval for such a shameful action; I think you’ve lost your mind!”

“Yeah!” Xiao Zhou’s quickly clapped at Ning Qing’s speech, “The persistence of this lie is due to the people of the same low level being willing to believe it.”

The reporter’s face grew pale then blushed in embarrassment. He was extremely embarrassed by Ning Qing’s rebuke.

The other reporters understood and quickly asked, “Teacher Li, it seems that you did have mixed motives back then. May I ask, when did you start your relationship with Ning Zhenguo?”

“Teacher Li, please return to the main focus of the press release. Is Miss Ning Yao Ning Zhengguo’s daughter?”…

If Ning Yao was, there was no explanation required. Li Meiling was the third person in their marriage.

Ning Yao saw that Ning Qing had seized control of the entire press release and she was bottling up her anger. However, the question made Ning Yao’s eyes beam. Humph, Ning Qing, you’re too naive!

“Sister…” Li Meiling’s tears were flowing down her cheeks. She became upset and choked on her words. “Do you remember what happened at Yan Nan Road twenty years ago?”

Yan Nan Road?

It was Ning Qing’s first time hearing of it.

She noticed that her mom’s body stiffened. She looked down and her mother’s face grew pale. The way she looked at Li Meiling was filled with guilt.

Ning Qing’s heart dropped. It seemed that Lu Shaoming was right. Her mom did have a secret.

“Teacher Li, what happened at Yan Nan Road twenty years ago? Can you please make it clear?”

Li Meiling shivered all over, “Twenty years ago, there was this night… My sister and I were walking down Yan Nan Road. Then, a bunch of gangsters suddenly appeared and they wanted to rape us. Back then, I wanted to let my sister run away so I grabbed the ring leader and promised that I’d… I’d serve them properly. They promised to let my sister go but I…”

“Wow…” It stirred a great commotion.

This was absurd. Unbelievable.

Li Meiling would save my mom at the risk of her own? If the sun rises up from the West!

“Aunt Ning, is what Teacher Li said true? Twenty years ago, did she really sacrifice herself to save you?” The reporter asked.

Yue Wanqing’s tears were flowing down her cheeks too. “What she said was true… There were five to six men that night. They were holding knives in their hands; they wanted to sexually assault me. Later on, Li Meiling held them back… I did not even have the strength to truss up a chicken. I couldn’t save Meiling so I ran. I ran as I shouted for help. But, but I got lost on the way…”

“I am sorry to Meiling. I owed her for the rest of my life… Actually, when I thought about it later, I realized that I was too weak. If I were brave enough, I’d have stayed back and taken it alongside Meiling…”

Ning Qing heard and creased her eyebrows. She didn’t believe it, but she didn’t have any evidence. Hence, she could only listen to what Li Meiling had to say.

Her mom was too kind. She talked about her “weakness” courageously. But what her mom didn’t know that it was a press release and what she said helped Li Meiling.

“Sister, my status was low and degrading back then but I wouldn’t accept the latent rule and work really hard. I did that just to safeguard my innocence. I wasn’t duty-bound but I didn’t turn back in order to save you yet I didn’t complain nor regret. You didn’t owe me. You compensated me with material and assistance after that… But you shouldn’t have suspected our sisterhood.”

Ning Qing then realized Li Meiling’s power. The word “compensation” flipped her mom’s kindness towards her over the years.

Even the complaints that her mom held against her bore little weight as this came to light.
