Chapter 59 -59: Someone who raises an army to exact justice…
The night wind howled as Ningning’s delicate little body nestled in Ning Yichu’s arms.
“Mommy, I really didn’t harm my little sister. I didn’t know that the wooden board had come loose…”
Ningning poked her head out from her embrace, mumbling softly, her round chubby face filled with guilt.
“I know Ningning wouldn’t hurt anyone.”
Ningning was after all a tad smarter than other children, her mind also very clear, “But grandpa and grandma seem to think I’m the perpetrator. Does that mean I can’t come to play with Doudou and Grandma Zeng anymore?”
“They actually despise me, it’s because of me that they view you through a biased lens.”
...
“That’s nonsense! It’s clearly their vision that’s impaired, you are a hundred times more beautiful than that vixen, and a hundred times kinder…” Ningning indignantly defended, huffing with anger.
Ning Yichu was comforted by her daughter’s words, gently rubbing the little girl’s cheek.
She guessed she wouldn’t be able to visit Doudou and Grandma Zeng from now on…
Li Lingyang probably wouldn’t keep pestering her, talking about how she disrupted Doudou’s life…
That was for the best, boundaries were meant to be drawn!
“Mommy, you’re hugging me too tight!” Ningning squirmed in her embrace as Ning Yichu was lost in thought.
Ning Yichu quickly relaxed her hold, “I’m sorry, Mommy got too absorbed.”
“Mmm~”
“Alright, you’ve been playing all day; have a little sleep, your godmother will come to pick us up soon.” Ning Yichu softly cooed, her thoughts inevitably drifting to Doudou.
Li Family’s most cherished little daughter, Li Lingyang’s pride and joy; she hadn’t wronged anyone. Who could want to harm her?
Soon after, Fan Yuke drove to the Li Mansion, picked up mother and daughter, and left.
Ningning had already fallen asleep in her arms.
Fan Yuke whispered, “How was the birthday party today? Did you have fun?”
“It was quite fun, I suppose.” Ning Yichu answered, physically and mentally exhausted, not wanting to worry Fan Yuke—it was better to talk about it tomorrow.
Fan Yuke, always carefree, was focused on driving and didn’t think too much, catching a glimpse of the light blue dress with the corner of her eye and jokingly teased, “That dress you’re wearing is pretty nice, is it new?”
“No, I accidentally dirtied my dress, a servant took me to the second floor to change into this one, I don’t even know whose it is.”
After speaking, Ning Yichu suddenly remembered the wet dress; it looked incredibly expensive, how could she afford to pay for it?
“It looks quite fitting on you, showing off your curves, hehe…”
“By the way, do you know Fu Cheng?” Ning Yichu asked.
Fan Yuke’s eyes instantly lit up.
“I know him, but he doesn’t know me! Haha, he’s well-known in our circles as a mastermind who can turn the rotten into the miraculous. The most ordinary person can dazzle everyone after his transformation! Why the sudden question?”
“Then I’m doomed, the dress I dirtied earlier was borrowed from him!”
“OMG, his dresses are famously expensive!” Fan Yuke almost slammed on the brakes, nearly drawing an S on the road, “That’s not right, he usually doesn’t lend dresses to just anyone?”
“It was introduced by a friend, now that I think about it, this is going to be another huge debt!”
Ning Yichu sighed, feeling increasingly lightheaded and drained as the car headed home. She found herself less and less able to chat with Fan Yuke and eventually leaned back in her seat and fell asleep, only to be woken by Fan Yucheng upon arrival.
She was jolted awake, feeling as if she had only slept for a moment, yet they had already arrived home!
Fan Yuke parked the car and accompanied her upstairs, “Are you okay? Why do you look so pale?”
Ning Yichu touched her face and realized it was indeed a bit cold, probably from being in the cold water for too long. But she had cold medicine at home, so she carelessly shook her head and said, “It’s nothing, just tired from today!”
With the dim night light concealing her, Fan Yuke failed to notice any significant anomaly in Ning Yichu and said rather obtusely, “Alright then, get some rest early tonight, and you’ll be better after a good sleep.”
“Mhm, goodnight.”
When she got home, Ningning had already succumbed to sleep, her little mouth puckering adorably, perhaps out of discomfort.
She took off the little girl’s shoes, untied the bunch atop her head, wiped her cheeks, and covered her with the blanket.
She intended to call Chen Bao again, but the moment she stood up, her head swayed, and she collapsed, powerless, onto the children’s bed!
Time passed unknowingly before Ning Yichu was awakened by Ningning’s anxious calls.
With her head pounding, she opened her eyes to see Ningning sitting at the bedside, her big watery eyes staring as she struggled to push at her shoulders.
“Wuu wuu wuu, Mommy, you’re finally awake! You almost scared me to death…” Ningning said, quickly rubbing her eyes with her small hands when she saw her mother awake.
Ning Yichu rubbed her aching forehead, “How long have I slept?”
“It’s already 2:30 in the morning!” Ningning said in a tearful voice. She’d been sleepy and hazy in the middle of the night, and when she turned over and touched her mommy, she thought her mommy had specially decided to sleep with her tonight. But then she realized her mommy wasn’t covered with a blanket, and no matter how much she yelled, she couldn’t wake her up!
“Has it been that long?” Ning Yichu was startled, nearly three hours had passed!

She propped herself up with her arms from the children’s bed, “Don’t worry, Mommy just feels a bit dizzy…”
Ningning, with her black grape-like eyes, whirled around, immediately jumped off the bed, and started rummaging through cabinets to find medicine for Ning Yichu.
Ning Yichu watched the little one busily and quickly took the medicine, not daring to have too much contact with Ningning.
She had always been frail since childhood, and had only just been hospitalized recently; it wouldn’t be good to pass anything on to her.
However, just as she left the children’s bedroom, she heard the doorbell ring…
It was the dead of night – Ning Yichu had no idea who would be visiting at this time.
Peeking through the peephole, Ning Yichu saw a tall figure standing outside and was suddenly taken aback, nearly doubting her own eyes.
Li Lingyang stood outside the door with a face of shocked ferocity, his handsome face slightly flushed as if he were drunk!
Her foggy mind became instantly clear!
Damn it, what was Li Lingyang up to by showing up like this? To make accusations?
Bang.
Long after Ning Yichu failed to answer the door, Li Lingyang’s patience faded, and he went from pressing the doorbell to knocking loudly, “Ning Yichu, I know you’re in there, open the door!”
Ning Yichu was feeling weak all over; how could she dare to open the door for him?
“President Li, I’ve already explained that it wasn’t me who caused Doudou to fall into the water, and it has nothing to do with Ningning either! It’s really not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together this late at night. Whatever you want to say, please wait until tomorrow…” Ning Yichu mustered her courage and shouted back through the door.
“I’m going to count to three, and if you don’t open the door, don’t blame me for being rude!” Outside, Li Lingyang said, ignoring her plea and issuing a warning through gritted teeth.
Ning Yichu could clearly hear the threat in his voice through the door, her breathing nearly stopping.
It felt like he was throwing a drunken tantrum…
“Li Lingyang, have you had too much to drink?”
