Ning Jiming was struck dumb for a moment. Sisi.. You don't needa curse me indirectly okay...
But the next lines and her tears really clawed his heart.
"I believe you. No need to force yourself anymore." he said and removed her sweat- sticky hairs from her forehead. He couldn't bear to look at the girl he dotted on since he was young, cry so much. His heart ached so badly.
He looked around ,stroked her hair and asked, " Where is grandfather ?"
The old man is still not here..? Strange.
Ning Mei looked at him as if the whole world has wronged her and said in a crying voice, "Brother.. Brother Ming... grandpa.. doesn't want to talk to me anymore ... he hates me now... He also thinks that I am a jinx to the family. Grandpa is going to abandon me... Ahhh"
Ning Jiming blinked twice. Did he hear her correct? Did grandpa really hate her? Now he became anxious.
.
" Nonsense!!! " a loud voice bellowed from the door that Ning Mei's heart almost leaped out of the window.
An old man in almost his seventies with grey hairs and wrinkled face stood there ,holding a walking stick, looking stern. He currently had an expression of extreme anger on his face, that could match with the grim reaper.
"G.. grandpa... " Ning Mei greeted meekly, not maintaining any eye contact with him.
Ning Gongxue walked to the bed where the two siblings were sitted and eyed the girl angrily.
" You punk, who said those nonsense to you?! Who said that I don't want you or want to abandon you? Who said that you are a jinx to the family!? Answer! " He shouted.
Ning Mei was visibly terrified that her usually dotting and sweet grandpa scolded her and yelled at her so badly. She trembled and hugged Ning Jiming more tightly, not saying a word.
Ning Jiming saw that his sister was scared ,so he patted her head and consoled her, " It's okay... Mei mei.. "
Then he looked at his grandfather and said, " Grandfather, don't be so fierce on her. She is too scared. " He knew looking at his grandfather's face that the old man has no intention of doing any of the things that Ning Mei said.
After all, this grandfather of his was his favorite among all. Though she was not related to him by blood, he loved her more than any one else in the family.
Abandoning? He can abandon me, his eldest grandson, but about abandoning Ning Mei ? You better stop dreaming!!.
Ning Gongxue looked at his eldest grandson and understood what he was saying. After all this little girl in his arms was the apple of both their eyes.
He sighed and sat near them. Ning Mei lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes .
Elder Ning slowly took her hands into his and squeezed it lightly. "Why is my little fairy crying so bad? Is it because of me? Did I scare my little fairy? Oh.. I might have been possesed by demons. " He said in a sweet voice as if taking to a child.
Ning Mei looked at her grandfather in disbelief. " G.. grandfather, y.. you are not angry with me? "
Elder Ning narrowed her eyes and said, " Ofcourse I am angry! And I am angry like hell! "
Hearing that her grandfather was still angry at her, she bit her lips and her tears threatened to fall. But the next second, Elder Ning pulled her away from Nimg Jiming's embrace into his.
Ning Mei froze. And then she heard him say.
" I am very angry because I got to hear what happened to my granddaughter from outsiders. I am very angry that my granddaughter didn't call me for help first that morning when she was so helpless. I am angry because she thinks that I don't want her. And I am so disappointed and angry that my granddaughter doesn't understand me at all! " As Elder Ning said these, his voice became heavier and heavier.
Ning Mei's eyes stung and a lump seemed to have formed in her throat. She swallowed and voiced her opinions with too much difficulty, " B.. but grandpa, I did such a shameless thing! I brought shame to you all!
Everyone is saying that I am so shamless and not grateful to the family at all... But grandpa.. I really didn't do drugs!! "
How can she? Grandpa hates drugs?!
