Chapter 1536 - 1537: Both Sides Are Flesh and Blood
In the end, An Ning had no choice but to hand Xiaoniu over to him, and could only watch helplessly as Xiaoniu was taken away.
At the moment when Xiaoniu was being carried away in Gao Mutou’s arms, he stretched out his small hand towards An Ning.
This had always been their usual gesture. Whenever he reached out his hand, An Ning would always pick him up.
But at this moment, she could only control her urge to step forward.
And from now on, she must restrain herself.
Although Gao Mutou said she could visit Xiaoniu anytime, they were no longer family; she couldn’t just keep visiting someone else’s house.
She didn’t have the dignity, nor the position!
Standing at the door, An Ning looked at Mrs. Yan lying on the bed.
An Yu was beside her, saying something, and mother and son were laughing happily.
"Ningning, you’ve come, come over..." Mrs. Yan stretched out her hand towards An Ning, her tone full of longing.
An Ning walked over to her and spoke under her expectant gaze, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Ningning..." The smile on Mrs. Yan’s face instantly faded, not understanding the sadness on An Ning’s face.
"Xiaoniu has been taken away." An Ning said.
Mrs. Yan’s eyes dimmed instantly, but she didn’t say anything; evidently, she knew beforehand.
Yet, she still chose to abandon the son who needed her the most at this moment.
Looking at Mrs. Yan, An Ning suddenly felt a deep sorrow for her, a sorrow that made her suddenly dislike her.
An Ning: "Do you think that just because you divorced, An Bingfeng would reconcile with you?"
Without waiting for Mrs. Yan’s response, An Ning spoke again, "I tell you, he won’t. If he could accept you, he wouldn’t have chosen to abandon you in the first place. Even if you give up everything now, he won’t accept you. Mother, I really don’t understand, with nothing left, what do you find worth smiling about so happily?"
"Sister, don’t be too extreme." An Yu said at this moment, "Father’s abandonment of you was his mistake. Trust me, I will convince him to accept you again."
An Ning turned her head, looking at An Yu, her eyes filled with coldness.
With a slap, the blow was delivered without hesitation.
Although An Ning didn’t use much strength, this slap represented her determination.
She didn’t care about the Prime Minister Residence’s wealth, nor about An Bingfeng’s pitiful charity.
She couldn’t interfere with Mrs. Yan’s choices, but she couldn’t accept them either. The only sadness in her heart was for the poor Xiaoniu.
In the end, he escaped the fate of being drowned in the river, yet couldn’t avoid the fate of being abandoned by his birth mother!
With a slap!
This time, the slap landed on An Ning’s face.
In childhood, although life was hard, Mrs. Yan had never laid a hand on An Ning.
But now!
Ah, after all, things change beyond recognition, long since altered.
"Ningning..."
Mrs. Yan herself hadn’t anticipated where she found the strength to get up from the bed and give An Ning that slap.
But when she saw An Ning’s hand strike An Yu’s face, an uncontrollable anger flared up inside her.
This son, she had only seen a few times during his infancy, and had thought they would never meet again, yet he found his way back.
Originally, she felt guilt, but now An Ning actually hit him.
However, after hitting An Ning, Mrs. Yan immediately regretted it.
Both palm and back of the hand are flesh, she felt pain for An Yu, but equally for An Ning.
