I am a bad girl
Nie Mianmian frowned and looked troubled, "But Aunt Xi, it's not that I want to give up, but it's really impossible between Ah Ting and me. I also thought that as long as I persevered, as long as I didn't give up, we might still have a chance. But…"2
Nie Mianmian suddenly choked on her words as her eyes reddened. She said sadly, "Aunt Xi, there's something I'm hiding from you. I don't dare to say it. I'm afraid that if I do, Aunt Xi won't like me anymore. You'll think I'm a bad girl. Aunt Xi is like my mother to me. If you stop liking me one day, I'll be sad."
Madam Xi saw that Nie Mianmian's eyes were red and quickly took out a handkerchief from her bag to wipe her tears, "Mianmian, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, tell Aunt Xi what happened first. No matter what happened, Aunt Xi won't dislike you."
Madam Xi really liked Nie Mianmian. She really wanted another daughter. But because of her health, her wish never came true.
Nie Mianmian had always been close to her since she was a child. She was respectful and obedient in front of her, and she was loved by everyone. Although she didn't treat her as her own daughter, Madam Xi's love for Nie Mianmian was real.
She really wanted Nie Mianmian to be her daughter-in-law. In her opinion, no one was more suitable than Nie Mianmian to be the Young Madam of the Xi family.
She'd always thought that the two families could get tied by a marriage. Until Xi Ting suddenly brought Qin Yan home and told them about their relationship…
Madam Xi had been looking forward to this for so long, but it all came to nothing in an instant. Moreover, she felt that the most outstanding son in the world loved a woman from a small family. How could she accept this?
She hated Qin Yan as much as she wanted Nie Mianmian to marry Xi Ting. If this scheming woman hadn't tricked her son into being with her, she would never have let such a woman be a part of Xi family!
"Aunt Xi, I did something wrong. If I told you, you definitely won't like me anymore," Nie Mianmian's tears fell as she said sadly, "Aunt Xi, you know that I've liked Ah Ting since I was young. My dream since I was young was to marry him and be his wife. I always thought that his wife would be me. Then, he suddenly got a girlfriend. When I found out about Qin Yan, I was very upset. I couldn't sleep for a few days, and I couldn't eat anything. I even felt like there was no point in living anymore."
Madam Xi held her hand tightly, "Mianmian…"
Nie Mianmian looked at Madam Xi with tears in her eyes, "Aunt Xi, I'm so jealous of Qin Yan. I can't accept it, either. I have liked Ah Ting and have accompanied him for over 20 years, but he ended up loving another woman. At that time, I was blinded by jealousy, so I did an irrational thing. Aunt Xi… actually, the photos and videos you got of Qin Yan and her ex-boyfriend were sent to you by me."
"I even sent them to Ah Ting. I am so jealous of Qin Yan. I can't accept her being with Ah Ting. I saw that she was doing well, and Ah Ting doted on and pampered her, so I didn't want her to have an easy time. I thought that if Ah Ting saw that she was involved with another man, he would definitely be angry and mindful. There might be a chance that Ah Ting would break up with her."
As Nie Mianmian spoke, she covered her face and cried, "Aunt Xi, isn't it too despicable and vicious of me to think this way? I feel so despicable myself. I don't know how I became the person I detest the most. But I can't control myself. I can't accept them wholeheartedly and give them my blessings."
Madam Xi was stunned. After a while, she said in shock, "Mianmian, you said that the photos and videos of Qin Yan were sent by you?"
Nie Mianmian nodded while crying, "About her and her ex-boyfriend…Aunt Xi, I did get someone to expose that to you and Ah Ting. But I didn't frame her. I was there too. I saw her and her ex-boyfriend pulling each other. I didn't get someone to take those videos. Many people saw it too."
Nie Mianmian sobbed for a while before wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes. Her eyes were filled with uneasiness.
She was afraid, "Aunt Xi, do you think I'm a bad girl now? Do you… not like me anymore?"
Madam Xi looked at her for a while and sighed.
She patted Nie Mianmian's head, "How could Aunt Xi not like you? It's because you care too much about Ah Ting. Aunt Xi understands."
Nie Mianmian's eyes were misty as her tears fell again.
"Really?" She whimpered and threw herself into Madam Xi's arms, "Aunt Xi, I was so worried that you wouldn't like me anymore. Do you think I've become a bad girl?"
Seeing how teary she looked, Madam Xi hugged her tenderly and patted her back, "You haven't turned bad, you just care too much about Ah Ting. It's his blessing to have you like him so wholeheartedly. I do hope that Ah Ting can breakup with Qin Yan. If they discontinue their relationship because of that, Aunt Xi will have to thank you."
Nie Mianmian looked up from Madam Xi's arms and said, "Aunt Xi…"
"Be good, don't cry," Madam Xi reached out to wipe her tears. "You've put in so much effort for Ah Ting, how could Aunt Xi blame you?"
"Aunt Xi, you're so good to me. Sob…" Nei Mianmian buried herself in Madam Xi's arms and cried again.
"Good girl, don't cry," Madam Xi comforted her patiently, not minding that her tears had drenched her expensive shirt.
After knowing what Nie Mianmian had done, Madam Xi didn't detest her. Instead, she was even more satisfied with her. How much did this girl like her son, to be forced to this extent?
"Aunt Xi, you're too good to me. Mianmian really wants to stay by your side and be filial to you, but…" Nie Mianmian looked up, her eyes red and swollen from crying. "Although you don't blame me, Ah Ting has a very strong opinion of me because of those things. He won't forgive me no matter what. He said that I hurt Qin Yan, and he won't forgive me. He and I… have already… broken off our friendship."
With that, Nie Mianmian buried herself in Madam Xi's arms and sobbed again, "He even said that we'd be strangers the next time we meet. Aunt Xi, I'm so sad. I don't want to be strangers with Ah Ting. I know I was wrong. I won't do anything to hurt Qin Yan anymore. Help me plead with him and let him give me another chance, alright? I really won't dare to touch Qin Yan again. As long as he can forgive me, I'll do anything."
Madam Xi was shocked, "What did you say? You've already cut ties with Ah Ting?"
"Mm," Nie Mianmian couldn't stop sobbing, "He's the one who wants to cut ties with me. Aunt Xi, I'm so sad. Can you help me? I really don't want to be strangers with Ah Ting."
"Ah Ting is too much!" Madam Xi's expression darkened, "He actually wants to cut ties with you because of that woman. He must have lost his mind because of her! Mianmian, don't worry, Aunt Xi won't let him do anything rash! Come to the office with me now. I want to see if he can really disregard our mother and son relationship for that woman!"
Nie Mianmian was stunned for a while before saying, "Aunt Xi, I…"
"Don't be afraid," Madam Xi held her hand tightly and pursed her lips, "Aunt Xi will support you. You don't have to be afraid."
*
Half an hour later.
Nie Mianmian and Madam Xi arrived at the Xi Corporation building. Nie Mianmian held Madam Xi's arm and walked into the lobby confidently.
The moment Madam Xi appeared, the employees turned to look at her. The employees around her stopped in their tracks and greeted her respectfully. "Hello, Madam."
Madam Xi didn't come to the Xi Corporation often. She'd only been here four or five times in all these years. But everyone in the Xi Corporation knew her.
Xi Ting looked like Madam Xi. Hence, Madam Xi was also very good-looking. The employees who saw her once or twice had a deep impression of her.
Those who hadn't seen her before could guess that she had a close relationship with Xi Ting.
Most of them knew Madam Xi. But only a few of them knew Nie Mianmian.
