Chapter 326 Pretending to be a Poor Ex-wife (4)
The people brought by Qi Lan were optimistic about Boss Huang and Boss Zhao, as well as their subordinates.
These people were so aggressive when they came, but now they all look like eggplants hit by frost. It is so miserable to see them.
Qi Lan stepped forward and took Ning Li's hand with concern, checking his injuries. "Xiao Li, why didn't you tell your mother about the injustice you suffered? I'll come to find you as soon as I find out the truth! Silly child, no matter whether your mother has money or not, I will always be your strong supporter. How could I watch you suffer injustice and let you swallow your anger!"
"Mom, are you really rich? Then why did you lie to me? Why did you live such a hard life?"
Ning Li also looked at Qi Lan in confusion. Even though the truth was right in front of him, he still felt like he was dreaming.
Qi Lan was ashamed. "It's my fault. I was afraid that you would learn bad things. I thought that if you worked hard for your studies and life, you wouldn't have time to think about those things."
"So you made both of us suffer so much unnecessary hardship? Not only did I suffer, you suffered too! Your work in the company was not easy, but every day after get off work you had to force yourself to cook for me, do laundry, and clean the house. We only had one air conditioner at home, and you installed it in my room because you were afraid that I would be too hot to study, and then you couldn't sleep in the summer and almost got a heat stroke."
"By the way, sometimes you leave the lights on in your room in the middle of the night. I asked you about it, and you said that your boss scolded you during the day, and you were afraid of being fired, so you couldn't sleep well at night. In fact, you were secretly working overtime, but you were afraid of being discovered by me, so you had to be sneaky."
Ning Li was very smart and immediately began to sort out what was wrong with the past.
Qi Lan lowered her eyes, "In order to let you realize that making money is not easy, it's okay for Mom to suffer a little."
Ning Ning, "He has suffered a lot unnecessarily. He is afraid of spending too much money, so he has worn the school uniform for several years and is reluctant to buy a new one when it is torn. In order to save money on learning materials, he would rather skip meals and save the lunch fee. He is still growing up, aren't you afraid of delaying him? Also, if he wasn't afraid of causing trouble for you, he wouldn't have endured the beatings so silently. He is really at the age of full of blood and energy!"
"Xiao Li, why are you so stupid! How can you not eat? What will happen if you get hungry? Oh, no wonder you haven't grown taller recently, wuwu, it's all mom's fault..."
"Mom, forget it. I know you have your concerns too..."
Ning Li is sensible. Although he still doesn't quite understand Qi Lan's behavior, he still tries his best to comfort her.
Ning Ning sighed and thought that it was time to tell the truth. After all, this was also the original body's wish.
"Well, let's talk for a moment. I think I know why your mother did this. Qi Lan, your son is grown up now. Shouldn't you stop hiding things from him?"
Qi Lan shuddered, his eyes showing some hesitation, but he nodded in the end, "Okay, then tell him."
They walked to the side, keeping some distance from the crowd, making sure that no one could hear what they were saying, and then Ning Ning spoke slowly.
"In fact, your mother divorced me in the first place, and now she is raising you strictly, all because my sexual orientation... is different from that of ordinary people."
"what?!"
Ning Li opened his mouth wide when he heard this. Afraid that he might misunderstand, Ning Ning hurriedly continued, "I didn't lie to your mother. Before we were together, we were both focused on our studies and we were each other's first love. I didn't understand my true orientation either. I just saw people around me dating the opposite sex, so I thought I should do the same. Later, after we got married and had you, I discovered my true orientation..."
A wave of pain surged in her heart. Ning Ning covered her chest with her hands and continued, "I even thought I was sick at the time, and I went to the hospital. I tried all kinds of electric shock treatments. But instincts cannot be overcome, and to respect your mother, I told her everything and respected her choice. And her choice was to divorce me and take you away. She was afraid that I would have a bad influence on you, so she kept obstructing our meeting. At the same time, she pretended to be poor to divert your attention so that you would not think about anything else. I think you must have never even been in love since you grew up!"
Ning Li was stunned and shook his head silently.
Ning Ning looked at Qi Lan, "I know that I caused you a lot of pain because of my fault, so I understand and accept your punishment. But the child can't continue like this. Orientation is not necessarily inherited, and you can't just decide his lifestyle like this. Moreover, this will have a negative impact on his worldview and his personality. Even if his orientation is really the same as mine, don't you think it's better for him to realize himself as soon as possible? Must he hurt a girl like I did before before realizing his true self?"
"Stop it, stop it!"
Qi Lan shed tears, "I know I was wrong. I have been too extreme these years. Son, I will no longer restrict you. You and your son can have more contact, and I will not hide our family situation from you anymore."
"So that's it."
Ning Li looked at Ning Ning, "So what should you do now..."
"My sexual orientation is still the same as before. After all, it's hard to change things all the time. But I'm still single now. In fact, no matter what your sexual orientation is, a true relationship is hard to come by. It's normal not to find the right person."
"I understand. Mom, I want to go see Dad and live with him for a while. After all, we are father and son, but I know very little about him. I'm not saying that we must live a poor or rich life, but I want to see what real life is like. I have been living in 'The Truman Show' for these years, and everything was carefully planned by you. Now I want to use my eyes and hands to touch the real world."
"Okay, no problem. Mom was wrong. Mom will support you in the future."
This strong woman who rarely sheds tears may have shed more tears today than in the past few years.
"Boss Qi, the police are here!"
"understood."
Qi Lan wiped away her tears and her rare fragility, and put on the posture of a strong and decisive woman. She led them over and handed Boss Zhao and Boss Huang over to the police.
Ning Ning and Ning Li went to the police station again and re-reported the serious case.
Boss Zhao and Boss Huang are two local tyrants who have been bullying others by relying on their influence in the underworld.
At first they thought Ning Li was a poor boy who could be easily bullied. Later they thought Ning Ning was just an old man with some money and from another place, so there would be no consequences if they dealt with him. However, they didn't expect that they would hit a wall this time and were targeted by the police and uprooted.
The matter was settled, but Ning Li's summer vacation had not yet ended. He said goodbye to Qi Lan and went to live with Ning Ning at his home for a while, looking back on the father-son time that had been lost for many years.
This is the moment belonging to the original body and Ning Li. Ning Ning's mission has been completed, and he quietly left this world on his way back.
