Chapter 57 -57 Ningning is her daughter! Major exposure
Li Lingyang, of course, was in no mood to care what others thought. He swiftly pinched Ning Yichu’s mouth and bent over to give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, compressing her chest repeatedly.
This action stunned the onlookers further. Wasn’t it said that President Li really hated his ex-wife?
The worry and tension on his face told a completely different story!
Soon, everyone found an explanation. Ning Yichu was in this predicament because she was trying to save Doudou. Naturally, President Li couldn’t just watch her perish.
“Cough, cough…” Finally, after who knows how long, Ning Yichu groggily spat out a mouthful of water and struggled to open her eyes.
Her throat burned with pain, and she still felt dizzy, with Li Lingyang’s furious scolding ringing in her ears, “Ning Yichu, are you an idiot? There were so many people by the roadside, couldn’t you have shouted for help when you brought Doudou over?!”

Had he not rescued her in time, she might already be meeting King Yanluo!
Always claiming she wanted nothing to do with her ex-husband, so why did she risk her life to save his daughter?
Such a foolish woman, saying one thing and meaning another!
Li Lingyang’s fury erupted in a tirade, frightening Ning Yichu terribly.
She shivered, her eyelashes hung with glistening droplets, as she blankly stared at Li Lingyang.
Li Lingyang paused as well, then abruptly took off the jacket from Mu Bailang and draped it over her, “Feeling any better?”
“Doudou… how is she?” Ning Yichu asked painfully.
Li Lingyang truly wanted to smack her on the head. She was in this state, and yet she still worried about Doudou?
He swallowed the scolding he had at the tip of his tongue, “You’re so noble, handing Doudou over to the maid early on. She’s fine now. The one in trouble is you.”
Ning Yichu didn’t know if she was bewitched. Doudou wasn’t even her daughter, but seeing the girl in peril had made her heart wrench. Now a weight seemed to lift, “I’m not too bad…”
“All right, everyone disperse,” Li Jianbin stepped forward at this moment, addressing the crowd before turning to Li Lingyang, “Miss Ning is soaked. Take her back to her room to change clothes first.”
Li Lingyang nodded slightly and then bent down to scoop Ning Yichu up, right in front of everyone’s eyes!
The sudden loss of ground made Ning Yichu gasp, then realizing the setting, she flushed with embarrassment and struggled in his arms, “Put me down. I can walk on my own.”
“Stop moving. I don’t want to be accused of owing a debt to Doudou’s rescuer!” Li Lingyang turned a deaf ear and held the drenched woman even tighter.
Each step he took was especially steady, almost completely smooth.
Ning Yichu instinctively clung to his neck, slowly recalling the terrifying moments of choking on water, still somewhat in disbelief that he had rescued her!
Upstairs in a specially arranged rest room, Ning Yichu changed into a clean coat.
Doudou had also woken up by then.
Shen Jiangqing, no one knew when, had rushed over, hugging Doudou and crying breathlessly.
But Li Lingyang still sharply noticed, Shen Jiangqing’s lipstick was smeared, and her hair somewhat disheveled. His stern brows slowly knitted together as he stopped her, “Where were you just now?”
Shen Jiangqing sobbed grievously, “I was dealing with the compensation for that counterfeit vase. I turned around and the kids were gone, wuu wuu wuu, Doudou, mommy is so sorry, I promise I’ll never leave you again…”
Doudou felt uncomfortable being hugged so tightly, the little girl was sensitive and she smelled a very faint hint of cologne.
But the fragrance wasn’t familiar. It did not belong to her father.
“Doudou choked on a lot of water; you were choking her—let her go first…” Li Lingyang watched this scene dispassionately, thinking that if she had been more careful, Doudou might not have fallen into the water.
Shen Jiangqing quickly let go of Doudou.
Doudou anxiously gestured, asking how Ning Yichu was doing.
Li Lingyang’s eyebrows twitched. “She’s fine, changing her clothes in the next room.”
“Doudou, don’t be deceived by Ning Yichu and Ningning,” Su Huimiao suddenly exclaimed furiously, “I always thought Ningning was just a new friend you made, but she turns out to be Ning Yichu’s daughter! She instigated Ningning to get close to you; who knows what tricks they’re playing! My God, we’ve been deceived by this disgusting duo all along…”
Su Huimiao’s shrill voice pierced the quiet of the night. Shen Jiangqing, who had been kneeling by the bed, froze and looked up in astonishment. “Mom, what did you say? Ningning is… Ning Yichu’s daughter? She…”
“Yes, it was just now when Ning Yichu fell into the water, that wretched girl cried out in panic!”
“What… what… They met at the banquet tonight, pretending not to know each other!” Ningning is Ning Yichu’s daughter; that means the fire years ago didn’t kill her cursed offspring!
Ningning was alive. Did that mean that boy wasn’t dead either?
In a flash, Shen Jiangqing thought of the boy who looked exactly like Li Lingyang!
A strong premonition hit him; he might be Ning Yichu’s son!
With a venomous tone, Su Huimiao said, “That’s why I say their mother and daughter are so scheming! Son, I don’t want to see this duo anymore. Drive them away quickly…”
Granny Li, who favored Ning Yichu the most in the Li Family, immediately interrupted Su Huimiao, “What are you blabbering about? You want to drive people away without clarifying things; what if Ningning is actually a child of our Li Family?”
Hearing this, Shen Jiangqing’s heart raced!
Fortunately, Su Huimiao spoke up in rebuttal, “Mom, how could that be possible! Actually, we’ve been hiding this from you; when Ning Yichu and Aling divorced, she was carrying another man’s child! Aling never touched her, yet she got pregnant…”
Granny Li’s forehead veins throbbed, “Stop slandering! Chu Chu liked Aling so much; she would never cuckold him!”
“Don’t you believe me? Ask Aling…”
Granny Li, seeing her so adamantly confident, looked doubtfully toward Li Lingyang.
Li Lingyang, rubbing his fingertips, pondered for a moment under everyone’s gaze and said, “I’ve known for a long time that she and Ningning were mother and daughter.”
“You knew all along?” Granny Li exclaimed, then remembered something and quickly asked, “That’s what I thought; my grandson couldn’t possibly be that naive. Tell me, did you check the DNA, asking if Ningning is your child?”
Creak—the sound of a turning doorknob slowly echoed as Ning Yichu, in a new set of clothes, walked out of the room, noticing the wide-open door of the study with a crowd sitting inside.
Everyone was seated upright, seemingly discussing some grave matter.
She suddenly felt a sinking feeling, an ominous premonition.
The next second, she saw a group led by Su Huimiao and Shen Jiangqing casting doubtful glances at her!
“Ning Yichu, you wicked-hearted woman, using Ningning to get close to my daughter! Tell me, what are your intentions? Today’s incident with Doudou falling into the water, did that have anything to do with you?” Shen Jiangqing yelled, somewhat hysterically, his face showing panic hidden from others.
Now that the child hadn’t died and Ning Yichu had returned with the child, what did she intend to do?
To snatch away Li Lingyang, or to take revenge on her?
