Chapter 116 Leng Ningyan's Dilemma
Leng Ningyan widened her eyes and stared at the screen of her mobile phone, as if the words on it had infinite magic, making her feel extremely uneasy.
If someone touched Leng Ningyan's hands, they would find that her hands were frighteningly cold...
Leng Ningyan saw a long text message on the phone screen:
“My child, when you see this message, please allow me to introduce myself first - I am your father.
Here, I must express my deepest apologies to you! Back then, due to my carelessness, I fell into a terrible investment scam, which eventually led to the bankruptcy of my family and left me penniless.
Faced with such a difficult situation, we had no choice but to send you to an orphanage to ensure your survival.
However, fate always seems to be full of drama. Not long after, the mysterious "Dark Zone" quietly descended upon the world. We once thought that this was a great opportunity to turn things around and get rid of poverty.
Unfortunately, time is merciless. Now we are old and weak, unable to compete with those young and strong people. As a result, even if we enter the simplest farm, we will be beaten to death and sent back to the warehouse.
Therefore, when we had one last chance, we resolutely went in. We thought we would die in the dark zone, but luckily, we met a very powerful passerby who killed his way through the entire map, and we followed him and survived.
After coming out, we found that it was already the day of the National College Entrance Examination. We calculated the time and found that this year was the day for you, Ningyan, to take the college entrance examination, so my mother and I watched the whole competition.
I never expected that I would see you in a live broadcast across the country! As a father, I feel extremely relieved and proud to know that you are not only safe, but also have achieved the first place in the country through your own efforts!
Although we know that the damage we have done to you is irreparable, we do not expect your forgiveness. Our only wish is that you can live a happy and blissful life.
As long as we know that you are doing well, we will be satisfied far away from home~Dear daughter, can you give us a chance to meet you again? Even if it is just a short meeting... "
When Leng Ningyan saw this message, she was completely stunned and her mind went blank. She couldn't understand why she suddenly received such a message.
Her fingers trembled slightly. After thinking for a moment, she slowly typed out a line of words in reply: "How do you prove that you are my parents?"
The other party seemed to be well prepared and quickly replied: "I brought the documents from the orphanage. If it doesn't work, we can go to the hospital for a paternity test!"
Seeing this, Leng Ningyan's heart began to waver. The other party was actually willing to do a paternity test. This at least proved that they were not scammers pretending to be parents.
"I'm not ready to see you guys right now. Wait a few days and I'll contact you guys."
Leng Ningyan took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then slowly typed the line. After sending it, she quietly waited for the other party's response.
After a while, the phone rang again, and it was the message from the familiar number:
"it is good."
Just one short word made Leng Ningyan feel even more heavy-hearted.
Over the years, finding her biological parents has always been Leng Ningyan's biggest wish. She wanted to ask her parents in person why they left her alone in the orphanage.
However, when the news really came, she felt unprecedented panic and helplessness.
At this moment, Leng Ningyan just wanted to find a quiet place to sort out her tangled thoughts...
After replying to the message, Leng Ningyan raised her head and whispered to Feng Hen:
"I... I haven't thought about it yet. Something suddenly happened to me. I'll give you an answer in two days..." Leng Ningyan's lips trembled slightly, and she squeezed out these words from between her teeth with difficulty.
Her eyes were confused and painful, as if she had lost her sense of direction. She needed time to think and face this sudden change.
Her voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness, as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant. It was an indescribable feeling of powerlessness that made people feel pity.
"Can I ask what's going on? You didn't look right just now." Feng Hen frowned and asked with concern.
Leng Ningyan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably: "I, my biological parents suddenly sent me a message."
"Ah?" Pan Yuting and Li Zhengyuan looked at each other. They also knew about the situation in Leng Ningyan's home through Feng Hen.
"Yan'er, you said your biological parents came to find you? That's good!" Grandma's wrinkled face showed joy, and she was happy that Leng Ningyan was able to meet her biological parents.
Even though he had brought Leng Ningyan back from the orphanage and raised her, he was already old and would have to return to his biological parents eventually. But if he really left, he would still feel reluctant to do so. After all, he had raised her from a little girl to an adult. How could he break off this relationship of more than ten years so easily?
But grandma didn't show any reluctance on her face...
However, Leng Ningyan felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to face this reality.
"My mind is really confused now. I have no idea how to get along with them. Besides, my grandma and I are already used to living here!" Leng Ningyan said at a loss.
"Don't worry, there will always be a way. And we are here to support you! Why don't you find a suitable time to meet them? After all, they are your biological parents, and you need to get to know each other!" Feng Hen comforted.
"Well, you are right. Then I decided to go meet them tomorrow. After that, I will answer your question~" Leng Ningyan responded with a forced smile.
"Okay, I will wait for your news patiently. Then we'll leave first, grandma, I will come to pick you up to my house after a while!" Feng Hen turned his head and said gently to his grandma.
"Okay, young man, thank you so much!" Grandma replied with a smile on her face.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Feng Hen said modestly.
After saying that, Feng Hen led the other two out of the room. However, during this process, Feng Hen noticed that Leng Ningyan's expression was a little abnormal, but he did not ask any more questions.
After all, he was just the captain of the team, and he felt that he had no right to interfere too much in her personal affairs.
After Feng Hen left, grandma asked
"Yan'er, do you like that boy?" Grandma looked at her granddaughter with a smile on her face, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
"Ah? Grandma, what are you talking about? Didn't you see the girl next to him? They are a couple!"
Leng Ningyan's face turned red instantly, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands, and there was a hint of shyness in her voice.
"You kid, you still don't admit it. I've lived for so many years, what haven't I seen? Your eyes have betrayed you long ago. From the moment you entered the room, your eyes have been looking at him from time to time, paying attention to his every move." Grandma said with a smile, as if she saw through everything.
"No, no, I just..." Leng Ningyan wanted to explain, but was interrupted by her grandma.
"Okay, okay, I originally thought you liked that boy, and grandma was thinking of ways to bring you two together. Since you don't like him, then I won't go to their house. I'd rather stay at home alone~" Grandma said slowly.
"No, no, grandma, who will take care of you if I'm gone? I... I like him, but I don't like him to be with him, I just like him."
Leng Ningyan finally spoke out what was in her heart and felt relieved in her heart.
"You're wrong, kid. Liking someone is the first step to love. Although that boy has a girlfriend, people in our world don't object to polygamy. If you like someone, you should fight for him. Otherwise, it will be difficult to meet such a good boy in the future. You have to seize this opportunity!
And I don't think that little girl is particularly disgusted with you. She probably already knew that you liked that boy!"
Leng Ningyan was shocked to hear her grandmother's words. She had never thought that her grandmother would be so open-minded in looking at emotional issues. At the same time, she also realized that her avoidance and concealment of this relationship had not really solved the problem.
"Ah? I didn't show it, how did she know?" Leng Ningyan asked with a puzzled look.
"Ah, silly child, your thoughts are almost written directly on your face. Even an old woman like me can see it, so how could she not see it?
Since she has no objection, it means that there is hope for you and that boy. But you have to understand that you can't let him continue to look for her, and you should stop here.
Although polygamy is allowed in this world, the more wives a man has, it doesn’t mean he is promiscuous, right?
But too much is not good, so at this time, you must firmly grasp the initiative! You have to be his last woman to prevent him from having affairs again, understand?" Grandma said earnestly.
"Oh, grandma, why are you getting more and more outrageous?" Leng Ningyan's little face turned slightly red, and she looked at her grandma embarrassedly.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, so as not to annoy people. Come on, Yan'er. Sometimes you have to take the initiative to fight for opportunities, especially when facing such an outstanding boy. I also watched the live broadcast on TV, and I think he is really suitable for you!" Grandma comforted softly.
After hearing what her grandmother said, Leng Ningyan fell silent. She began to wonder if her feelings for Feng Hen were really more than just love...
"But, grandma, is it really okay to do this? I don't want to ruin other people's feelings..." Leng Ningyan said hesitantly.
"Silly child, love is selfish. If you really like that boy, you should bravely pursue your own happiness.
Of course, we also have to respect each other's feelings, but this does not mean that you have to give up your own feelings. Perhaps you can try to get along with each other and see if you are suitable for each other. "Grandma patiently enlightened Leng Ningyan.
"Grandma, I know what to do. Thank you for your encouragement and support. However, I need time to deal with everything." Leng Ningyan said firmly.
Then Leng Ningyan fell into deep thought, and she began to seriously think about what her grandmother said. Indeed, she had suppressed her feelings for Feng Hen for too long, and if she didn't express them, it might become a lifelong regret.
However, she was also worried that doing so would cause trouble to the other party or even hurt others...
