Ning Shu put the gifts she had bought on the sofa, then turned around and left. She didn’t want to get involved with Chen Ning’s family.

  In just one night, the Chen family knew that she was divorced and that she had one hundred fifty thousand yuan in her possession.

  Ning Shu sometimes thought that fate was a circle. Chen Ning was born into such a family, and the magnetic field of fate led her to people like the An family.

  Destiny was a circle. You felt like you turned away, but in fact, you never left. No matter how many turns you made, you still ended up back where you started.

  Even after crawling out from one pit, it wouldn’t be long before you fell into another.

  Some people fell into the pit and just stopped crawling, instead choosing to stay and be tormented. Others fell into the pit but still started afresh tenaciously. However, there was always the possibility of falling again and again, until they were scarred and traumatized.

  No matter how much they struggled initially, people would eventually return to their set trajectory.

  Such a fate had many influences from the outside world, and also had its own reasons due to various compromises and helplessness.

  Ning Shu sighed and left, carrying the child on her back.

  “Chen Ning, why are you leaving?” Chen Ning’s mother stopped Ning Shu. “Have you had breakfast? Your father went for a walk and will be back soon. Wait for him.”


  “If you leave, where will you live?” Chen Ning’s mother took Ning Shu’s arm. “Just come back and live here.”


  Ning Shu said, “My room’s already gone. Didn’t you guys knock the wall down?”


  “I won’t wait for Dad to come back. Say hello to Dad for me,” Ning Shu said, pulling away.

  “Mom…” Chen Ning’s brother said impatiently. “She doesn’t want to live at home, so why do you have to keep her when she’s acting like we’ll steal her money.”


  “If she wants to leave, let her go,” Chen Ning’s brother said while rolling his eyes.

  Ning Shu nodded blankly. “I think my brother is right.”


  “To be honest, I really want to beat you up,” Ning Shu sneered. “I am worried that you, this vampire, will suck all of my money away. You useless thing who’s still living off our parents, you’re a waste of money.”


  “Who are you calling useless? What are you so smug about? You’re just a woman who was abandoned and divorced,” Chen Ning’s brother slammed down his bowl and said with an ashen expression.

  Chen Ning’s mother immediately scolded her son, “What are you saying? Your sister has just gotten divorced. You stabbing at her sore spot like this, what kind of younger brother are you?”


  After Chen Ning’s mother scolded her son, she turned and said to Ning Shu, “You are siblings and will need to support each other in the future. Even if you want to get married in the future, you still have to rely on your maternal family to support you.”


  When Ning Shu heard this, she almost spat in contempt. When she was suffering in the An family, did this brother come over? There wasn’t even a word of care.

  When she was about to jump off a building, of the people from her maternal family, only Chen Ning’s mother came over, and it was only to ask her not to divorce.

  Count on such people to support her? Ha, maybe they’d come in the next life or the next next life…


  It was better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else.

  Ning Shu turned around and left. As she was going down the stairs, she met Chen Ning’s father in the stairwell. Chen Ning’s father was stunned when he saw Ning Shu, and then he asked, “Where are you going? Come back with me.”
