73 I Had a Good Life
Following Shen Yunci’s insistence, the three of them were chased away by Shen Yunci, leaving only Lu Ning to take care of her.
Lu Ning had also insisted on staying behind.
Shen Yunci was more than happy to be taken care of by her daughter. Lu Ning wiped her face and helped her with things she could not, though Lu Ning would also help her with some of the things she could.
Looking at Lu Ning toiling away tirelessly, Shen Yunci’s smile never faded from her face.
She enjoyed being close to her daughter. When Lù Yue’an was younger she also liked to be close with her; however, after she entered junior high she did not like it that much anymore and barely even said much to her, let alone speak with her affectionately.
Then, before she left she even kicked up such a huge fuss, leaving Shen Yunci devastated. Her daughter, whom she had nurtured and raised with all her heart, ended up becoming like this—it truly broke her heart.
That was until she saw Lu Ning; at that point in time Lu Ning had only met them for the first time, and still did not know the details of the whole affair when it was revealed to her in front of everyone. She was the last person to learn the truth.
As she observed her expression of stupefaction turn into that of calm resignation, her heart instantly ached for that child.
She neither cried nor fussed, almost as though she was used to being treated like this. She was only notified once everything else had been settled; no one ever discussed it with her, nor had anyone informed her in advance.
She did not utter a single word the entire time. Only after everyone had finished talking about these issues, and after several minutes of silence, did she finally let the words fall from her mouth.
“I understand.”
Just two words, and nothing else.
She calmly accepted this news that was like a bolt from the blue.
Other than feeling sorry for her, Shen Yunci’s heart was also thumping heavily. She was afraid that this child would become suspicious of the world and distrusting of everyone after suffering such unfairness. At the same time, she was also afraid that she might raise her into another Lù Yue’an.
When Lu Ning first arrived, she did not speak much; in fact, she was distant and cold. She was already prepared to fight a long battle, but a kind-hearted child would never let you spend too much time worrying about her.
She slowly accepted this unfamiliar family and dedicated her all to them every day. Shen Yunci knew that her care and concern for her actually only played a small part; what was important was that this child was already such a wonderful person at heart. She was kind, passionate, and distinguished between love and hate—this was who she truly was.
She was elated to see her like this, for she had shed her depressed shell and was living true to herself.
“Little Ning, you don’t have to do all that. Come and chat with Mommy.”
Lu Ning stopped what she was doing and walked over to sit by the bed.
Shen Yunci clutched her hands and gazed upon them, these fair and soft hands almost the same size as hers.
“Mommy still remembers when you were just born. Your hands were so small, your entire body was red, and you were crying so loudly…”
She paused and looked up at Lu Ning, her eyes tinged red.
At that time, had she simply looked at her and remembered her appearance a little more, then such a thing would not have happened. Perhaps she would have been able to tell which was her biological daughter.
However, at that time, she was also spent and totally worn out. Because her strength had been depleted, she fainted after taking a single look at the child; and thus, she missed eighteen years with her biological daughter.
Shen Yunci was filled with remorse.
Lu Ning seemed to know what she was thinking. She looked at Shen Yunci, raised her hand to caress her face, and wiped her tears. “I had a good life, Mom.”
Instead of pacifying her, these words made Shen Yunci burst into tears. She hugged her and wept.
