"Zhizhi, be good, go back to the room to sleep first. Mom and Rourou have something to say."

Ning Yuerou, who had already been ready to be scolded, couldn't help feeling a little nervous when she looked at Fang Shuhua's expressionless face.

She lowered her head and bit her lip, looking like a child who had done something wrong, but she cursed the old woman hard in her heart.

If it weren't for their Ning family doing too well, would she have done this?

She had no chance to appear from beginning to end in this birthday party for Ning Zhizhi. Even when the media took photos, she only photographed Ning Zhizhi and the Ning brothers, and the couple together.

And she is an outsider who doesn't even have a chance to play.

If she didn't come on stage in the end, what would people outside think of her when the photos were released tomorrow?

Ning Yuerou knew without thinking about it, she would only become a person that everyone would be pitiful and looked down upon.

She didn't want to live that kind of life, so she had to take risks.

Ning Zhizhi leaned in Fang Shuhua's arms and nodded slightly. The light of the light fell on Ning Yuerou was terrifyingly cold.

Ning Yuerou is really stupid.

What's the use of letting the outside world notice her? It makes the Ning family unhappy. From now on, her life in the Ning family will only be more difficult.

However, all this has nothing to do with her.

Ning Zhizhi stretched out her arm and was carried by Ning Guofeng to the second floor room. Only Fang Shuhua and Ning Yuerou were left in the living room.

As the former No. 1 socialite in Jiangcheng, Fang Shuhua said nothing and did nothing. The momentum of sitting there was enough to make people feel full of oppression.

The clock in the hall walked minute by minute, and the slight sound made added a lot of pressure to Ning Yuerou's heart.

"Soft."

Fang Shuhua spoke with a calm tone, and she couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment.

"I'm sorry mom, did Rourou make you unhappy?"

Ning Yuerou almost took the initiative to lower her head to apologize when Fang Shuhua spoke. She placed her hands on her knees in a proper manner, lowering her head to repent.

"You should know that today is Zhizhi's birthday party, and the protagonist is Zhizhi? Since that's the case, why did you have to run to the stage while singing?"

Her voice was neither anxious nor slow, but it was full of questioning.

"I, I just want to celebrate Zhizhi. Mom, I have no other intentions. If I knew that doing this would make you unhappy, I would definitely not be on stage."

Ning Yuerou seemed pitifully raised her hand and rubbed her red eyes, but in fact, she had no intention of repentance in her heart.

If she doesn't do this, she will only become a laughing stock in this circle. This is her only chance, why can't she compete?

She was resentful and raised her head to secretly take a look at Fang Shuhua's face, but was startled by her cold eyes.

Fang Shuhua looked at her with a scrutiny. For a moment, Ning Yuerou felt that the dark thoughts in her heart had nowhere to hide.

Seeing her restless look, Fang Shuhua felt disappointed.

"Rou Rou, you are a smart child. You should know what I mean. When did you become like this? You were very well-behaved and sensible when you were taken back to this house at the beginning. Did I teach you badly?"

When this child was brought back at first, Fang Shuhua didn't care much. At that time, she was full of her heart and eyes. Later, as time went by, she developed some feelings for the child.

Although it is still not close enough, it is still emotional.

Otherwise, she would not have treated her equally when Zhizhi first came back.

In order, I just don’t want her to suffer grievances and think too much.

She always knew that Ning Yuerou was not as simple and ignorant as she seemed, but she always thought that she was thinking too much. Until today, this incident happened, she was sure that she just hated Zhizhi and was trying every means to compete with Zhizhi for favor.

"I always hope that you can get along well with Zhizhi, so even if you are not my biological child, I will still treat you very well. Rourou, you said, you have been in the Ning family for so many years, have I lacked anything in some places? Or have you been wronged?"

Fang Shuhua's tone was full of confusion.

She didn't know what Ning Yuerou was thinking, and she thought she was caused by the jealousy of a child, so she targeted Zhizhi.

Little did she know that Ning Yuerou was particularly greedy and she didn't want the "small wins and small profits" she gave.

Ning Yuerou listened to her words, her heart was full of disdain.

Be kind to her? Treat everyone equally? This old woman doesn't know where the face comes from, so she actually has the nerve to say that!

Don’t think she can’t see it. They are clearly better for Ning Zhizhi, who has the bloodline of the Ning family.

And what did she, a little girl who was adopted, get other than some insignificant things?

She has worked hard for so many years, not for those worthless things, but for the favor of the entire Ning family and the inheritance rights of the Ning family!

Although she was angry about the unfair treatment she received, she did not show any sign of it on the surface.

Ning Yuerou slowly raised her head, looked at Fang Shuhua with dim eyes, and smiled bitterly.

"I know you are kind to me, so I have been working hard to be a pistachio for this family for so many years. I want you to be a little happier, but mom, since Zhizhi came back, you have become much colder to Rourou, and today too."

She said, choking twice, tears flowing down her cheeks.

"I saw the reporters taking many photos of you. I was waiting in the corner for my mother and dad to call me over and take photos together, but in your eyes, Zhizhi. I waited there for a long time but didn't see you looking for me, so I suddenly ran up while Zhizhi was singing. I just wanted a photo."

She lowered her head, covered her cheeks with her hands, her shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and her crying became louder and louder.

Looking at her appearance, Fang Shuhua frowned slightly. The words that had already reached her mouth were forced to swallow because of her crying.

"but……"

As soon as she spoke, a big hand appeared on her shoulder, and she patted her gently, stopping her from going on.

"Okay, let's stop here today. Rourou, Dad has a few words to say to you."

Ning Guofeng, who had just coaxed Ning Zhizhi to sleep, walked down from the second floor at some point. He sat next to Ning Yuerou, his tone was calm, but the big hand that landed on her back was particularly powerful.

"Dad, no matter what you think, but today's events don't want to happen again. Do you understand? You and Zhizhi are our daughters. No matter when we will treat you as well as her, so don't think too much."
