Ning Shu saw Cai Anqi exiting the hotel and snapped a couple more photos. She had also taken pictures of the man.
Cai Anqi got in the taxi and went home. When she arrived there, she saw Wang Bo sitting on the sofa. She looked around the room, but there was no trace of Ning Shu. She asked, “Where’s your mother?”
“You tell me, I also want to know where my mother has gone. Weren’t you two at home?” Wang Bo asked Cai Anqi.
Cai Anqi suddenly had a bad premonition. Last time, she was secretly photographed by that old woman. No way had been photographed again this time, right?
But if not, why hadn’t she come back yet?
She had already been so careful.
In her heart, Cai Anqi cursed Ning Shu to die outside.
Once the old woman died, no one would compete with her and deliberately cause her trouble. Moreover, the house might become hers.
A wave of hostility surfaced in Cai Anqi’s heart.
“I went out with my friends this afternoon. How would I know where your mother is?” said Cai Anqi in a bad mood.
Seeing him concerned, she said, “Your mother is so old, yet she can still get lost?”
Wang Bo immediately became unhappy. “How could you talk like that? She’s my mother.”
“Not mine, though.” Cai Anqi rolled her eyes and went into the bedroom.
Just as Wang Bo took out his phone to call Ning Shu, the windchimes at the door sounded. Ning Shu opened the door, saw Wang Bo, and said, “I’m back.”
“Mom, where have you been? It’s already dark. I was worried.” Wang Bo exhaled in relief.
Ning Shu smiled and said, “I’m fine. Just went out to take a stroll.”
Wang Bo scratched his head. Both of them were out for a stroll so late at night.
Ning Shu made three bowls of noodles, and Wang Bo called Cai Anqi out for dinner. When Cai Anqi saw the noodles, she turned back to the room without saying anything.
Today’s event had made her really tired and was so painful, yet she still had to eat this kind of thing?
When Wang Bo saw Cai Anqi’s behavior, he called out to her, “Aren’t you going to eat?”
“No, I don’t want to.” Cai Anqi slammed the door shut. There was no movement, so they didn’t know what she was doing inside.
Wang Bo’s face was ugly. Cai Anqi’s willfulness was getting on his nerves.
She was completely unrestrained, not caring about others or her family members.
Ning Shu said to Wang Bo, “Wang Bo, there are some things you don’t need to endure. As a man, you have to understand when to back down and when to stand firm. If you keep backing down nonstop, you’ll hit the wall or the edge of the cliff with no other path left to take. In the end, it is you who will suffer the most.”
Wang Bo always felt that he had married a goddess. He would give in to her wishes, again and again.
“Mom…” Wang Bo sighed deeply. “We’re still getting used to each other.”
Ning Shu said, “You should have your own bottom line, and let her know about it. Your concessions won’t make her restrain herself. She’ll only become more arrogant.”
“People need to have a little character in life. I don’t want to see you always enduring things.” Ning Shu said, “There are times to advance, and there are times to retreat. It can’t be a single person who’s retreating nonstop.”
Wang Bo sighed again.
“Can you stop sighing all the time? I’m sad to hear your sigh. Is it so hard to keep your chest up?” Ning Shu sounded a little annoyed.
Ning Shu pursed her lips. “If Cai Anqi did something that wronged you, what’s the most intolerable thing for you?”
“What’s your bottom line, and what would you do if she crossed it?” asked Ning Shu probingly.
