Chapter Fifty-Nine Who Are You

  "Mom!" Ning Qingmin saw that it was Fang Zhi and knew something was wrong. She had experienced Fang Zhi's temper before, so in a panic, she rushed over to pull her mother away. Seeing Fang Zhi momentarily lose control, the clothes rack in her hand smashed into the mirror, shattering the glass all over the floor with a loud "crash".

  Ning's mother slapped Ning Qingmin's hand away, reaching out to grab Fang Zhi's face. Fang Zhi dodged her head to the side, and with a loud crash, she slammed the clothes rack in her hand towards Ning's mother's hand. Ning Qingmin was quick-witted and swift-handed, grabbing a nearby clothes rack to block Fang Zhi's attack. Meanwhile, Ning's mother stretched out her hand from the side and slapped Fang Zhi's face with all her might.

  Several salesmen came over upon hearing the noise, and blocked their way, exclaiming: "What are you doing? You'll have to pay for breaking the mirror!"

  "What's wrong?" Liu Zhen heard Fang Xi's scream from over there and rushed over. Before he could take a closer look at the finger marks on Fang Xi's face, he saw Ning Mama and Ning Qingmian, and in his astonishment, he muttered: "Hui Xin, is that you!"

  "Not bad, middle-aged and still well-maintained." Ning's mother saw Liu Zhen coming over and gave him a cold glance, full of resentment.

  Ning Qing saw her father Liu Zhen's middle-aged and successful appearance, thinking of the hardships her mother had endured, she gritted her teeth secretly.

  "She and her mother joined forces to beat me!" Fang Zhi walked towards Liu Zhen, tears in her eyes, and lifted up her face with five finger marks on it for Liu Zhen to see, looking pitiful and wronged.

  "Hui Xin, you're still as savage as ever, quick to use your fists! Liu Zhen pinched Fang Xi's face and saw the five fingerprints that made his eyes widen in shock. 'If you have something to say, say it to me, why hit Ah Xi?'"

  Ning's mother burst out laughing instead of getting angry, "Haha, that's right, I'm going to spank her. What about it? If you can't stand it, then come and hit me!"

  "How unreasonable are you?" Liu Zhen's tone was filled with anger, "You're even proud of hitting someone?"

  "Right, if you hadn't rushed over in time, I would have beaten her to death. I wouldn't have stopped until she was dead." Ning's mother looked up at Liu Zhen with a cold smile and said: "What, are you feeling heartache? It seems that you two really love each other, and after all these years, you still haven't had enough of being in love!"

  The security guards at the mall rushed over, and some customers who heard the commotion also gathered around. Liu Zhen was somewhat enraged and shouted: "I'm scolding my own wife, what business is it of yours?"

  Ning's mother was taken aback, suddenly speechless. Fang Zhi raised her head, coldly scrutinizing Ning's mother, "Don't even look in the mirror and see what you've become? Still thinking of ruining our marital relationship?"

  "Mom, let's go!" Ning Qing looked at Fang Zhi with disgust. At this moment, there were five red finger marks on her face. Her mother spoke again, which would only make herself look unreasonable and impossible to explain clearly. Her mother was a straightforward person, and it was useless to try to outdo Fang Zhi in front of her, as she had already lost the battle years ago, let alone now.

  "You're Qingmian!" Liu Zhen saw Ning Qingmian call out "Ning Mama", vaguely recognizing the outline of Ning Qingmian from when she was a child, and without regard for Fang Xi, took a step forward saying: "I'm your father!"

  "Isn't it said that I'm a bastard and Dad doesn't know who he is? When did another dad pop out?" Ning Qingming stepped back, expressionless.

  "Qing Min!" Liu Zhen wanted to speak but stopped, embarrassed by Fang Zhi's presence beside him, and some words were inconvenient to say.

  "Liu Zhen, isn't Peipei your daughter? Why are you still running around recognizing daughters everywhere?" Fang Zhi also stepped forward, pulled Liu Zhen over and said indignantly: "Others don't take you seriously, but you're still so enthusiastic!"

  Liu Zhen ignored Fang Zhi. In a moment of urgency, he looked back at Ning Qing and said, "Mom, you're here too, tell Qing that..."

  "Who did you think I was?" Ning's grandmother stood coldly on the side, not speaking up until now. "You've already divorced Hui Xin long ago, so don't call me mom anymore, it's disgusting. And Qing Min is all grown up now, she can earn her own money and doesn't need some shady father figure, nor will she randomly acknowledge one."

  "Grandma, Mom, let's go!" Ning Qingmin took one of them by the hand and pushed through the crowd to head towards the elevator.

  "Qing Min!" Liu Zhen wanted to chase after her, but Fang Zhi held him back tightly, choking with sobs: "I was beaten up by them like this, and you don't even ask a question, yet you still want to go chasing after them."

  After getting off the elevator, Liu Zhen didn't follow. Ning's mom pursed her lips and remained silent, but Ning's grandma grumbled, "What bad luck, even buying clothes can lead to running into them."

  Back home, Ning's mother hid in the bathroom and didn't come out for a long time. Ning Qingming was worried and knocked on the door several times. Only then did Ning's mother say in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, just let me be quiet for a while!"

  Ning's grandma sighed and pulled Ning Qingmian over, saying: "Stop knocking, she must be crying inside!"

  "After all these years, hasn't mom forgotten about dad yet?" Ning Qing also sighed, "Only when it's still remembered in the heart will it hurt so much."

  "Your mom and Liu Zhen started a business together, and they were deeply in love until you were born. I remember when you were five years old, your mom took you back to the countryside, and Liu Zhen would call every day to hurry her back home. At that time, my house didn't even have a phone installed, so he would call the street corner grocery store and ask them to pass on the message, making the whole village know about their loving relationship. Later, Fang Zhi appeared, and...” Grandma said, suddenly stopping and sighing, "It's useless to talk about these things now."

  "Actually, mom is still young, why not find someone to spend the rest of her life with?" Ning Qing said quietly while helping her grandmother massage her back, "I don't mind if she remarries."

  "Your mom was afraid of finding another one that wouldn't be good for you, so she never considered it. Now that you're older, I'm afraid the idea is even more unlikely." Ning's grandmother patted her leg and lowered her voice: "Your uncle had introduced a Hong Kong man to your mom before, and the man came to see your mom, he was quite satisfied at the time and proposed to apply for your mom to go to Hong Kong. He said you could stay with me and just send living expenses every month. As soon as your mom heard that she would have to abandon you, she immediately rejected him."

  Ning's grandmother had one son and two daughters. Her son smuggled to Hong Kong in his early years, later applied for his wife and children to move to Hong Kong, heard that they also worked in a factory, but didn't save any money, just came back every year during the Spring Festival to see their grandmother and gave her some lucky money. The two daughters were both beautiful, the elder daughter Ning Zhixin married well, only the younger daughter Ning Hui Xin made her worry.

  Ning Qingmian hung her head in silence. Her mother was only 42 years old, she had the right to pursue her own happiness. If there's an opportunity, I must advise her to find another one.

  After a while, Ning's mother came out with red eyes and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyu and Ruirui may be back soon, let's not mention this again tonight."

  Ning's mother was like this, always putting on a smiling face in front of others.

  Ning Qing's heart ached for her, and she hastily poured a glass of water and handed it over, saying: "Mom, don't take past matters to heart. As long as we live better than them and are happier than them, that's the greatest blow to them."

  "Hmm, we must live better than them!" Ning's mom clenched her fist and gritted her teeth: "We definitely can't let them look down on us."

  "Listening to Zhi Xin say, Liu Zhen's career has developed quite well in recent years. It used to be just a small processing plant, but later he bought land and built his own factory, now the family business is thriving." Ning's grandmother patted Ning Qingmin's hand and said: "Xiao Min, you should also start a big company in the future and let him see it."

  "Great!" Ning Qingmin thought to make his mom happy, and solemnly said: "After opening a big company, I'll let Grandma and Mom be the chairmen. As noble as the Empress Dowager."

  "Haha......" Ning's grandma and mom were indeed amused.
