Chapter 1210 “Casting the Bait (1)”

Ning Yu’s face froze as she stared at the woman whom she considered her own mother. There’s grief, and there’s pain, but most of all, she felt betrayed!

I only made a small mistake, why would Auntie Ning be unwilling to forgive me?

Is it because of this woman?

Ning Yu’s attention then shifts to Bai Yan’s face, jealous fire burning in those eyes like she’s going to engulf the target in flame.

Biting her lips: “I know Auntie Ning is unwilling to forgive me because of you, she can’t face you otherwise. But know this, it is I and my Pa who accompanied her for all these years, not her family or relatives!”

Bai Yan didn’t say nothing, only staring down at the kneeling girl in silence.

Perhaps that silence emboldened her, but Ning Yu kept going and her tone was more confident than the last as well. “They abandoned Auntie Ning before so why are they showing up suddenly? It would’ve been better if they never appeared!”

That last bit made Bai Yan narrow her eyes in because she had caught onto something in her words. Ning Yuan knows I’m Bai Ning’s real daughter, that’s true, but why is this Ning Yu also so certain? Based on my face alone can’t prove anything, unless…. These two have met prior to this gathering!

Then that’s when a plan hatches itself in the lady’s mind once she thought up to here. “Mother, in the end this Ning Yu did stay with you for many years, for that, I will show mercy today and only throw her out. Afterwards, she and you will have no connection ever again!”

Bai Ning actually became surprised by the lenient judgement. “Yan’er, you’re not going to dispose of her?”

Showing a faint grin in order to not let the girl pick up on her scheme: “It’s fine, I can handle this. She can leave now.”

Bai Ning wanted to say more there, but when confronted with her daughter’s reassuring smile, she ends up swallowing whatever words that’s still in there.

“Alright, I won’t get involved with this matter then….” She then casts one final glance at the tearful looking Ning Yu and sighed, “No matter what, Ning Yu did accompany me for a long time. If… if you are going to do anything, I hope you can do it swiftly so she doesn’t suffer.”

Ning Yu’s eyes dilated wide in horror, not daring to look up to Bai Ning as her lips trembled in disbelief.

“Auntie Ning….” That’s all the girl could mutter out while she sobbed and despaired under her own doing. Sadly for her, the lady didn’t give another glance her way with those closed eyes, which only made the situation all the more painful.

Seeing things have come to this point with no possible return, Ning Yu slowly got up from the ground, her face bleak as a ghost. She naturally wanted to plead some more, but when confronted with the contemptable looks of all those around, she ends up walking for the outside instead to avoid those eyes.

“She let me down in the end.” Bai Ning sighs after the petite figure went completely out of view.

Perhaps the former Bai Ning would never have imagined she would turn her backs on the girl due to her behavior, but she has and she too must live with the outcome. It’s painful, but she knows this was the right choice.

“Dragon Flame, go follow her.” Bai Yan didn’t say anything aside from giving this order, which earned her a begrudging stare from the old goat who unwillingly did as told.

Now, due to the show being over, the crowds of onlookers also dispersed, leaving only Bai Ning and the rest.
