Ning Shu continued to stay on guard against Xi Mucheng, but after such a long time, it was like he had vanished from the surface of the world.
Ning Shu called the villa and asked the maid if he had come there. She was told that Xi Mucheng hadn’t returned.
She hung up the phone. Where the hell did this guy run off to?
After Ning Shu finished her work, she was ready to return to the villa to check on things.
The moment Ning Shu walked into the entrance of the villa, she heard the ghostly sound of crying. She thought she had entered a haunted house, giving her goosebumps.
Walking inside, she saw a fat girl sitting on the couch, eating chips and drinking coke non-stop while wailing and weeping.
Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. Having not seen her for some time, Shi Sinan had gained a lot of weight. Her facial features were squeezed together, and she had a thick double chin. Her original slender posture had now become awkward. The moment her body moved a little, the flesh on her entire body would shake.
Ning Shu almost didn’t recognize her own daughter.
As she stood there dumbfounded, Shi Sinan turned her head to see Ning Shu, and her tears cascaded down at once. Ning Shu averted her gaze, as she couldn’t bear to look.
The previous Shi Sinan had such a charming and pitiful look, like that of a pure and lovely lily. But now, when tears flowed down the giant bun-like face, they would dry up before they even reached her chin.
Shi Sinan stood up with difficulty and thudded toward Ning Shu. With every step she took, the flab on her body trembled a little.
Especially her pair of legs.
“Mom…” cried Shi Sinan.
Ning Shu said indifferently, “How did you become like this? Why did you not go to school when you recovered? All you do is stay at home and eat.”
How could Shi Sinan think about going to school when her uncle was so far away? There had been no news of him at all.
She kept the phone next to her every day, hoping that the phone would ring, even if it was just a text message.
The only number on this phone was her uncle’s. As soon as it rang, she would know that he had called her.
She waited and waited and waited. In the end, she couldn’t help but call her uncle, but his phone was busy.
Shi Sinan was in pain and torment. Did her uncle really not want her anymore?
She didn’t know the reason. Every day, she would just think about her uncle, weeping her heart out in pain. How could she still go to school?
School was simply not as important as her uncle. She was heartbroken, and her life was dark.
As for why she ate so much, she simply couldn’t control herself. She always felt hungry and had to have something in her mouth to feel better.
Shi Sinan was now afraid to look in the mirror. How should she face her uncle like this?
She hated herself. Why couldn’t she control her mouth?
“Did Xi Mucheng call you? Where did he go?” asked Ning Shu.
When Xi Mucheng’s name was mentioned, Shi Sinan cried even more sadly. She started sobbing as tears and snot rolled down. However, she did not say a word.
Seeing her like this, Ning Shu was also too lazy to ask her. Shi Sinan simply had no idea what was going on. She had a face of confusion all the time, waiting for people to love her. She could only remain happy under the wings of a man.
With eyes that had been squeezed into slits, Shi Sinan looked at Ning Shu pitifully, “Mom, what should I do? What should I do?”
There was no way Shi Sinan could go out like this. She’d be disliked by her uncle.
“Eat less and run more,” said Ning Shu insincerely.
Shi Sinan’s tears flowed even faster.
