Chapter 1203: Having a Beautiful Dream
Upon entering Old Lady Ning’s room, Ning Ziping quickly poured a glass of water for his mother: "Mom, have some water to cool down."
Old Lady Ning took the water, indeed feeling thirsty after a bit of rushing, and quickly finished it in a few gulps, wiping her mouth: "Ziping, I ran into that child again today. I chased after him but couldn’t catch up. This time I saw him clearly, he looks so much like you.
None of your brothers have left the Capital; if that child resembles someone from our Ning Family, he must be the one you fathered in the countryside, the boy has always been right under our noses all along."
"Mom, did you really see him clearly?"
"This time, I saw clearly; it’s just that my body couldn’t keep up, I didn’t catch him. The child seemed to be in a hurry, and later he took a cab from the main road."
I reckon the family that adopted him must be well-off; if we could genuinely acknowledge the child, it would bring additional support to our family, which might even turn out to be a good thing for you."
The mother and son became more and more excited as they spoke, fantasizing from finding their son/grandson to imagining how to help the family that adopted him ensure a bright future. It’s quite hilarious, isn’t it?
Meanwhile, Wang Hailan in the next room was stewing in her own feelings of suffocation. This damned Old Lady Ning, insisting on them living together, obviously taking her for granted, as if she were some kind of venting tool.
Recalling the harsh words her mother-in-law had just hurled at her, she thought, ’Is it my fault I can’t have children? Her son has issues too. Why doesn’t she mention him?’
The more she thought, the angrier she got, and she began packing a few clothes and gathered all the money at home. Without notifying the two in the next room, she took her things and left.
