Ning Xi sighed, "But at that time I fell in love with a man and needed an identity that could match him."
Lu Tingxiao's eyes flickered slightly, "Is it Su Yan?"
Ning Xi nodded, then smiled and said, "Are you wondering how I, with my status at that time, could have known a young master like Su Yan?"
In order to avoid being guessed by Lu Tingxiao again, Ning Xi did not keep him in suspense and answered her own question directly, "Because Su Yan had lung problems when he was a child, he came to our place to recuperate and lived next door to my house for seven years.
When we first met, I happened to be passing by and he had an attack, so I helped carry him all the way home.
Later, we gradually got to know each other, met, knew each other, fell in love, and grew up together. What beautiful words! Haha, but in the end, reality told me that this is not the story of Cinderella and the prince, but the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf! "
"Don't be sad, he is not worthy of you." Lu Tingxiao comforted him.
Ning Xi hadn't expected to talk to Lu Tingxiao about her ex-boyfriend without her noticing. She scratched her head and said embarrassedly, "I've strayed off topic. Let's continue talking about the Ning family... Ning Yaohua and Zhuang Lingyu were reluctant to part with Ning Xueluo, who they had raised for eighteen years. So after they took me back, they didn't return Ning Xueluo to the Tang family. Ning Xueluo is still the apple of the Ning family's eye.
You should be able to imagine what happened next. The gap of eighteen years cannot be made up overnight. In front of Ning Xueluo, who received eighteen years of elite education from wealthy families, I was just an unsophisticated country girl.
I was so naive and stupid back then that I actually considered her a friend at first. But she took advantage of my trust and lied to me that the lemonade I used to wash my hands was actually a drink, and gave me a fake dress to wear at the party. She used these little tricks to gradually push me out of the Ning family and out of my social circle...
Those people in that circle had already become acquainted with Ning Xueluo and were from the same country as her. On the surface, they treated me as a friend, but in private, they mocked me for being a country bumpkin. Even my biological parents hated my existence and thought I was a stain on them... Then it was Su Yan..."
After Su Yan, the most important thing for a girl, her reputation, innocence and dignity, were all trampled upon and destroyed.
Ning Xi hugged her knees slowly, "Today on the set, there was a problem with the props, and my sword accidentally injured Ning Xueluo. In the hospital, my mother, my biological mother, slapped me without asking a single question, and my biological father only made endless accusations and threats to me..."
Ning Xi stared blankly at the inky night outside the window, her voice a little ethereal, "I don't know why, but the nerves in my mind that had been tense for five years suddenly broke. I suddenly felt that nothing was interesting, and that I was a failure in life. Was it because I was so terrible that everyone hated me? Was there any point in my efforts for so long..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tingxiao suddenly pulled her shoulders and said, "Ning Xi, look at me. Not everyone hates you. They are the ones who are in trouble. Do you understand?"
Ning Xi's eyes were slightly red.
Even though she always looks heartless and doesn't care about anything, she is just a girl in her twenties after all.
Lu Tingxiao held her in his arms and gently kissed the top of her head...
Ning Xi only felt a slight heaviness on her head, but she didn't know what it was.
Lu Tingxiao stared at her seriously with deep eyes, "Ning Xi, if you doubt yourself, then try to believe me. You are fine."
There is no one better than you in this world.
Ning Xi burst into laughter, "Of course I believe what Boss Lu says!"
Lu Tingxiao breathed a sigh of relief. The despair in her eyes just now made him extremely panicked.
After a moment of silence, Lu Tingxiao took the initiative to speak, "Ning Xi, can I ask you a question?"
