Ningning is Not a Trouble-Maker! - Chapter 29
Chapter 29
After Gu Ning gradually calmed down, Old Madam Su said: “Ningning, are you feeling better now? It’s indeed Sister Su Qing’s fault. Ningning didn’t do anything wrong.”
Old Master Su also said, “That’s right. Ningning is very good. Ningning is a very sensible child.”
Old Madam Su continued: “Ningning is Grandma’s precious baby.” It was like a relay between the two of them, complimenting Gu Ning one after the other. This was the first time Gu Ning was complimented like this. She shyly hugged Little Six and said: “Grandpa and Grandma are also precious babies.”
Old Master Su and Old Madam Su were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Su Shenglang was having a meeting in the study, and he didn’t know that Gu Ning and Su Qing had a fight until he came out. He frowned and stood at the door to watch Old Master Su and Old Madam Su play with Gu Ning, his heart hurting slightly.
Seeing Su Zelin walk over, Su Shenglang said in a low voice, “Second Brother, you have to resolve this matter.” When Wei Jingshan first married into the family, although Su Zelin did not have any feelings for her, his days were passable because he already had a son, Su Qi. It was only when Su Qing was born that everyone knew the truth. Su Zelin wanted a divorce, but the Wei family refused. The Su family was also exhausted from looking for Su Jiayu because of her sister’s disappearance. Su Zelin’s divorce had dragged on until now.
Su Zelin said in a muffled voice, “I know, but the two children are already so old now. I’m worried that the divorce will affect them.” No matter what, Su Qi and Su Qing were his children. Although they did not spend much time together, he could not bear to part with them.
Su Shenglang nodded. Every family had their own difficulties. He could not make a decision for Su Zelin’s life. He only said, “Deal with it as you see fit.”
The two of them looked at Gu Ning room again, and she was in a much better mood now. She was discussing the name change with Old Madam Su, and she said, “Mommy hoped that I can live a peaceful life without experiencing any hardships, so she named be Gu Ning.” She sounded cute and serious, as if she wanted to recite what her mother had said word for word.
Old Madam Su felt a lump in her throat. “Ningning’s name is good. Your mother’s surname is Su, and her name is Su Jiayu. In the future, Ningning’s surname will also be Su, and your name will be Su Ning, okay?”
Gu Ning, no, now Su Ning, nodded happily. Her last name was Su, the same as Mommy, she was very happy.
As she spoke, Old Madam Su asked again, “Is Ningning three years old this year?”
Su Ning thought for a moment. “I think so, but I think I’m almost four years old. My birthday is on March 17th. Mommy said that I’ll be a year older after my birthday.”
Everyone paused. March 17th? That would be a week later. In a week, Ningning would be four years old. Old Madam Su said, “That’s great. We can hold a birthday party for Ningning and buy a super big cake for Ningning, okay? Ningning can make a wish in front of the cake.”
Su Ning’s eyes lit up. “Really?” She could have a big birthday cake too?
When Old Madam Su saw Su Ning’s happy expression, she couldn’t help but ask, “How were Ningning’s previous birthdays celebrated?”
Su Ning shook her head. “Ningning has never celebrated birthdays. Daddy said that he doesn’t have time to celebrate for me. Moreover, my new mother doesn’t like cakes. She said that she will vomit if she sees cakes.” Every time it was her birthday, she would carefully tell her grandparents that she was not greedy and just wanted a small cake. However, her grandparents would say, what cake? Did they think that everyone was not busy enough? Therefore, Su Ning had never celebrated her birthday and was looking forward to it.
She heard from other children that there was cake to eat on their birthdays and they could make wishes in front of the cakes. She wanted her Mommy to lead a happy life with Sister Cloud, Grandpa Sun, and Grandma Moon in the sky. She hoped that her grandparents would be healthy and live a long life. She hoped that everyone would be happy.
When Old Madam Su heard Su Ning say that she had never celebrated her birthday, her eyes turned red and she almost cried again.
At dinner time, everyone in the Su family returned. This was the first time the Su family was so lively after four years. At the dining table, Old Master Su told them about Su Ning’s name change and also about Su Ning’s upcoming birthday. He asked everyone what they thought and how they should celebrate. This stumped the eight uncles. The big shots who were usually all-powerful racked their brains. For a moment, the dining table was terrifyingly quiet.
