President, she has ulterior motives

"Good night."

Lu Fengwan also said the same, but in the end, she didn't think it was enough, so she added two words and repeated: "Good night, wife."

So tired.

But thinking of Lu Fengwan's appearance when he said this, Ning Tao couldn't help being filled with joy.

She hung up the phone, and was putting the phone on her heart, sweetly, when she turned around unexpectedly, she saw Ning Jianchang on crutches.

"What's the situation?" Ning Jianchang asked her: "Who were you chatting with just now? Is it your love interest?"

Ning Tao neither admitted nor denied, but walked over to help Ning Jianchang back to the room, and said: "Dad, you should go to bed early."

After finishing speaking, she turned off the lights and closed the door, and left briskly.

"You child." Ning Jianchang didn't dare to make too much noise for fear of waking up his wife, so he lowered his tone and said, "Go to bed soon, do you hear me? Staying up too late is not good for your health."

"Know it."

Ning Tao washed her face, then tiptoed back to the room and lay down next to Xu Li.

The dark clouds were blown away by the wind, and the silent moonlight fell, even through the curtains, it cleansed Ning Tao's heart.

Ning Tao hugged her mother's arm and closed her eyes.

A night without dreams.

Ning Tao came back with great difficulty, and Xu Li also changed her class because of Ning Jianchang's matter. Now that both of them have free time, they naturally want to go shopping.

When Xu Li dressed up her daughter and was about to take her out, Ning Jianchang was full of envy.

"In the past, when you went out, I was the one who drove the car and carried the bags." Ning Jianchang couldn't help sighing.

"Just rest at home, I will help my mother carry the bag." After speaking, Ning Tao took Xu Li's hand and went out.

First they went shopping and watched movies, then had a meal, and then the two of them rushed to the barber shop.

Looking closer like this, Ning Tao discovered that Xu Li already had a few white hairs on the top of her head, and even the corners of her eyes had unnoticeable fine lines.

"Mom, you don't seem to be that young anymore."

Ning Tao suddenly felt emotional, and pulled out a white hair, Xu Li reached out to catch it, and couldn't help sighing: "How can anyone stay young forever?"

She wanted to explain to Ning Tao, saying that she was healthy and healthy, and she didn't need to worry at all, but what Ning Tao said next was: "There are really people who take care of themselves very well, and they are no different from ten years ago. "

Xu Li stared at her angrily: "So you dislike your mother for getting old now?"

The more Xu Li thought about it, the more annoyed she became: "Fortunately, I still feel that you love me."

"How could I dislike my own mother?" Ning Tao quickly put her arms around Xu Li's neck and acted like a spoiled child. Ning Tao didn't let go until the stylist came to communicate.

Xu Li planned to get a perm, which naturally took a long time, but Ning Tao didn't plan to do a hairstyle, so she sat next to her and said to her: "Mom, I really know someone, ten years have passed, and she is still so young."

Xu Li rolled her eyes at this, expressing that she was not interested.

It's other people's business to be young, so what does it have to do with her?

"And you know that person." Ning Tao added.

"Who is it?" Xu Li asked lazily.

Ning Tao said, "I am Teacher Nuanyang."

"What? Who are you talking about?" Xu Li was so frightened that she stood up straight away, and even surprised the hair stylist.

"Mom, calm down and listen to me." Ning Tao quickly comforted her.

"How can I be calm? Hasn't Nuan Yang passed away for several years? How could I not be afraid when you suddenly mentioned her?" Xu Li became more and more worried as she thought about it. What is unclean? I think otherwise, you should stop doing your hair, and mom will take you to the temple to ask for a peace talisman."

The hair stylist next to him was dumbfounded.

But Teacher Xu is a well-known figure in this town, and they all know each other well. Even if Xu Li wants to leave with half of her hair done, no one will stop her.

The only one who can stop Xu Li is Ning Tao.

Ning Tao held Xu Li's arm with one hand, covered her face with the other, and said, "It's my fault, it's all my fault, I should have told you earlier, Teacher Nuanyang didn't pass away, not long ago, I saw He came to her and talked to her."

"Are you sure what you saw was a living person?" Xu Li asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's alive!" Ning Tao pushed her mother back into the chair, and reminded her in a low voice, "You are a teacher of the people, don't be superstitious!"

"Good good."

Xu Li was only surprised for a short moment, and then figured it out. After all, no one saw Nuan Yang's death scene, and they would conclude that Nuan Yang's death was only because of the suicide note sent by Nuan Yang.

"At that time, she wrote so convincingly that she had an incurable disease and was about to die soon, which made me cry... Could it be that the suicide note was fake? Or did she fool us?"

"The suicide note is true, and Teacher Nuanyang didn't lie, but somehow she was cured in the end." Ning Tao also sighed a little: "Although she doesn't look as healthy as before, a little weak and pale, but Still alive after all."

Ning Tao said: "And she is very young now."

Xu Li: "..."

Seeing Xu Li's resentful gaze, Ning Tao quickly changed her words: "Of course my mother is also very young."

Xu Li snorted, and asked again: "Then why didn't she contact us? Could it be that our family treats her badly? It's been so many years, at least send some news."

"it's complicated."

When the stylist finished the process and left, leaving only Xu Li and Ning Tao waiting together, Ning Tao leaned over and whispered: "It's not that the teacher doesn't want to contact us, she has lost her memory, there is nothing I can do."

Xu Li immediately laughed out loud.

"I still have amnesia, so I'm filming a TV series here, right? Even TV shows think the plot of amnesia is clichéd."

"But the situation is like this, and the facts are like this." Ning Tao puffed up her cheeks.

"Okay, okay, don't pout, mom believes you can't do it?" In order to coax her daughter, Xu Li softened first: "I will treat her as having amnesia, and after ten years, she is still young forever... This kind of woman It’s really like the heroine in a TV show.”

As she said that, Xu Li was also a little curious about Song Nuanyang's current appearance. Ning Tao showed her the photo she took not long ago, and Xu Li was even more surprised after seeing it.

"How could she be so young? How did she do it?" Xu Li was shocked.

"The main reason is that there is a lot of money, various medical treatments and maintenance every year." Ning Tao began to brag about the rainbow again: "Actually, my mother has a better foundation, if I use the same method of maintenance as her, then my mother must be more beautiful. "

Xu Li's eyes twitched.

"Stop it." Xu Li looked away from the photo, and asked casually, "What kind of work is Nuan Yang doing? Are you still a painter?"

Speaking of this, Xu Li sighed again: "The artists at the top of the pyramid do earn a lot of money. Although I don't know much about appreciation, I can feel that Nuan Yang's paintings are really good."

When Ning Tao heard this, her heart stopped for a moment.

She remembered the last time she asked her teacher if she was still painting, and the teacher who had changed her name to Chen Ying replied that she hadn't painted for a long time.

Such a talented woman was imprisoned as a bird in a cage, raised as a canary, and hardly raised the paintbrush in her hand anymore.

It would be a pity.

She should have had higher attainments.

Thinking of this, Ning Tao's resentment towards Xi Wei added another layer.

Xu Li asked about Song Nuanyang's stage name again, and said she wanted to search the Internet to see her achievements over the years, but Ning Tao remained silent.

"Actually, she is not a very well-known painter."

"Then what kind of job do you make so much money?" Xu Li said with a smile: "Could it be that her ancestors were rich? In fact, she left without saying goodbye to go back to inherit the family business?"

Ning Tao hesitated to speak.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Xu Li's expression became strange: "What's the situation?"

Ning Tao wondered: "Actually, she has no family property to inherit..."

Xu Li's face turned cold: "Don't tell me that she has a lot of money because she married a rich husband. If that's the case, you should stop dating her."

"No, no, the main situation is very complicated, and I don't know how to say it."

"Just speak slowly."

Ning Tao opened and closed her mouth, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Forget it, I'd better not say it."

Xu Li: "..."

What a disappointment.

But the disappointment is my precious daughter, what can she do?

After the hair was done, it was already dark. Ning Jianchang, who was worried, called and babbled a few more words, and finally hung up directly by Xu Li, who couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ignore him for now, you don't want to see Nuan Yang's relics, no... now they can't be called relics, but gifts. I'll take you to see them and keep them well."

It was an empty house, usually used as a warehouse, and a room was specially set aside to store the paintings sent by Song Nuanyang back then.

Ning Tao carefully shook off the dust, tore off the white cloth on it, and slowly opened the box.

The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of sycamore trees after the rain.

The brushwork is exceptionally refined, the branches are scattered and well interspersed, and the color scheme is also extremely bold, but the combination is not abrupt, but has a unique and harmonious aesthetic feeling.

Ning Tao looked slowly, and when she opened the last box, she saw a familiar photo.

That was the year when Teacher Nuanyang lived here.

That summer, Xu Li bought her a brand new camera, and she thought it was novel, so she took pictures everywhere.

Teacher Nuanyang always took pictures of her generously and posed actively and cooperatively, but the other person was completely opposite.

The girl was thin and thin, always lowered her head, never spoke, and refused to cut her long bangs that covered half of her face, so that Ning Tao couldn't remember her appearance even though she tried hard.

Then one day, she finally caught the girl, before she could even put down her schoolbag, she handed the camera to Song Nuanyang next to her, and said lively and cheerfully: "Teacher, come and help me take pictures."

Song Nuanyang took the camera with a smile, pressed the shutter, and the photo was frozen.

In the picture, beside the coffee table, Ning Tao hugged the girl's neck, raised her head and smiled brightly, but the girl was still nervous, her fingers were clenched, her lips were pursed, her head was lower than before, and she looked younger than Ning Tao. To be half a head shorter.

Ning Tao stared blankly for a while, and for some reason, tears filled her eyes again.

She moved her fingers to the girl's face. The skin color was not fair, but dark and rough. There was a clear blister under the right lip, and there was even a pimple on the chin.

Ning Tao suddenly laughed.

She took a deep breath, rubbed her nose, and said in a relaxed tone, "I was really not pretty when I was young."

"If that's the case, at least it means that you didn't lie to me on this point."

"You child, what are you mumbling about?" Xu Li leaned over to look, and also saw the photo.

"Hey, this is the little mute you picked up, do you remember? She is also to blame for being poor, her father is an alcoholic, and her mother is a lunatic. Then she disappeared, and no one at home took care of her. It was me and your father report the case."

Ning Tao put the photo away and said in a low voice, "Is it possible that those are not her biological parents?"

Xu Li didn't hear clearly, so she asked her what she said.

Ning Tao changed her tune and asked how the parents were doing.

"The old man Niu who likes to drink too much seems to have died suddenly after drinking. It is said that he was unconscious after drinking one night. He stuck his head on the curb and disappeared like that. But if I say it, he really deserved it."

"His lunatic daughter-in-law was picked up and said to be a distant relative. Anyway, it's good to send her to a mental hospital for proper placement."

"As for that child, I don't know where it is. Anyway, I haven't seen it again for so many years," Xu Li said endlessly: "It was because of your kindness that you insisted on bringing that child home. If you want me to tell you, she Dad doesn't care about her, so we care about what she does? We let her live for free for more than half a year, and the result? She just disappeared."

"I don't know if something happened or what happened. If nothing happened, you should come back and have a look, right? Anyway, our family is kind to her."

Ning Tao couldn't help but said, "Maybe she has already repaid her kindness."

"When did you repay the favor? The repayment in your dream?" Xu Li laughed: "Forget it, I will do good deeds for you."

Ning Tao thought of the 200 million that Lu Fengwan sent to the brick factory in the name of Wu Qiu, and couldn't help but hesitate to speak.

But she didn't say anything after all.

Some things can be delayed, because it is useless to say it now, but some things really cannot be delayed.

What should be resolved still needs to be resolved, and what should be shown should also be shown at this time.

After returning home, Xu Li told Ning Jianchang that Song Nuanyang was actually still alive.

Ning Jianchang's reaction was mediocre.

When Song Nuanyang was around, he wanted to avoid suspicion, so the two of them didn't even count as acquaintances.

But seeing his wife and daughter happy, he also became happy.

And just when the atmosphere at home was peaceful and seemed to be enjoying itself, Ning Tao cleared her throat and dropped a bomb.

"Dad, Mom, I want to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" The couple looked over together.

Ning Tao was a little scared by the sight, but she still straightened her back and said word by word: "I, Ning Tao, don't like men, I like women."
