Chapter 2870: Legitimize Ding Ningdie’s Status
In short, Ji Lu had suffered a great deal.
Bai Hanmo frowned. He was indifferent to Ji Lu but unwilling to let others weaponize Ding Ningdie’s past against her.
Thus, Bai Hanmo, this future son-in-law, intervened in his future in-laws’ affairs, meddling in the matters between Ding Yan and his wife.
He urged Ding Yan to legitimize Ding Ningdie’s status, freeing her from the stigma of illegitimacy.
Ding Yan sighed, hesitated, and finally decided to clarify the situation with Mother Ding.
During dinner, Ding Yan personally invited Mother Ding downstairs to join them.
Observing Ding Yan’s hesitant expression, Ning Shu guessed it concerned the magazine issue.
Mother Ding ate silently, disregarding Ding Yan’s clear hesitation.
Eventually, Ding Yan set down his chopsticks and said, “There’s something we need to discuss.”
“What is it? If it’s about divorce, I absolutely refuse,” Mother Ding declared firmly.Though Mother Ding had prepared herself, her previous fears dissipated as the moment arrived.
Ding Yan choked for a moment and then said helplessly, “I’m doing this for the Ding family.”
“You know Ding Ningdie’s status as an illegitimate daughter is embarra.s.sing. What if the Bai family disapproves?”
“With everything set in motion, what if we upset Bai Hanmo and he refuses to marry Ding Ningdie?
“Then the Bai family would have ended up rejecting both our daughters.”
Ding Yan feigned innocence and helplessness.
Ning Shu raised her eyebrows, observing Mother Ding, who responded indifferently, “So, you’d sacrifice your wife for prestige?”
Ding Yan’s eyelids twitched. “That’s a bit harsh.”
“Sometimes, it’s all about luck. Originally, Xueqing should’ve been Bai Hanmo’s wife, but fate chose Ningdie. That’s just how it goes.
“It’s best to accept what comes.”
Wealthy individuals actually tended to be quite superst.i.tious, so Ding Yan’s words weren’t entirely unfounded.
“What if I refuse the divorce?” Mother Ding said coldly, “Cowardice is cowardice, no matter how you sugarcoat it.”
“If you agree to the divorce, I’ll ensure you’re taken care of,” Ding Yan promised, encouraged by Mother Ding’s lack of anger, and began discussing the matter with her.
Mother Ding looked at Ding Yan in disbelief, “If I hadn’t given birth to Xueqing myself, I’d wonder if she’s even your biological daughter.”
“You only care about Ding Ningdie.”
Ding Yan sighed, “Of course, she’s my daughter, but we must consider the circ.u.mstances.
“The Bai family is powerful, and resisting is pointless. A reed may be small, but it survives by bending with the wind. Even the mightiest tree can’t withstand a storm.
Ding Yan said, “I don’t want things to end up a mess.”
Drift with the wind and go with the flow; after all, we can’t control destiny.
Ning Shu countered, “A reed will always be a reed, growing only as tall as a person. But a tree becomes a towering giant, rooted and stronger than any reed.”
In a fierce storm, a towering tree was mightier than a reed.
Mother Ding wiped her mouth, “Let me think about it.”
“Consider it carefully, but decide quickly; Bai Hanmo is pressing the issue,” Ding Yan urged.
Ning Shu sneered. Bai Hanmo was just doing this to make Ding Ningdie happy.
He even meddled with his future father-in-law’s marriage.
The world was vast; why control everything?
Mother Ding left the table, and Ning Shu followed her upstairs.
Ding Yan called out, “Please convince your mother.”
Ning Shu:…
