Chapter 25: Ning Tianhua's Thoughts

  It's still the weekend on the second day, and since she doesn't have to go to work today, Su Mo Ruo also plans to take a good rest. Lately, she has been busy with classes and work, but hasn't had time to properly practice her skills. If this continues, it would be a waste.

  At 6:00 am, there were still five roommates who hadn't returned home in the dormitory, all of whom were from out of town. The locals had all gone home for the weekend. At this moment, several people were still sleeping soundly. When Su Mo left after getting up, none of them woke up.

  Out of school and heading to a nearby park, the park is relatively early, few young people can be seen, but some elderly people can be seen running or playing Tai Chi in the park.

  Su Mo ran along the riverbank for two laps, taking nearly half an hour. Habitually raising her wrist to check the time, she saw her bare wrist and twitched at the corner of her eye, only then remembering that things were different now than they used to be.

  Thinking of the money in her pocket, Su Mo let out a sigh. It seemed that she had to buy herself a watch first; otherwise, it would be impossible for her to keep track of time during training.

  But while she was thinking about her own affairs, she didn't notice that in the crowded and noisy park, someone had already started paying attention to her.

  "You're saying that our Ningning is the girl standing by the river?" A surprised female voice rose softly, a pair of eyes seemed to have seen some treasure, staring fixedly at the figure in front, reluctant to move their gaze away.

  Looking at his wife's excited expression, Ning Tianhua had not planned to bring her along today. If she hadn't discovered him leaving the house, he would never have let her follow him. Today was just about getting a closer look at their daughter. After receiving information about her, he realized that recognizing her as his daughter might be impossible for the time being. With such a personality, he could only slowly polish himself, using emotions and reason to move her, hoping to make up for 18 years of neglecting his paternal duties and giving them a chance to gradually redeem themselves.

  Holding his wife's hand tightly, he was afraid that she would excitedly rush to their daughter. "According to the information on the documents, she should be our daughter Ningning."

  Lian Hong Ya frowned slightly because they were quite far away, so she couldn't see the girl's face very clearly. "Why don't we go a bit closer? I can't see my daughter's face."

  "If I go any further back, she'll find out. Let's just take a look here." Ning Tianhua also wanted to recognize his daughter, but now he still couldn't grasp the situation. If he rashly went up to acknowledge his daughter and startled her away, making her disappear again, how could he bear such an outcome?

  Recently, Lian Hongya has also been wondering why her husband hasn't brought back any news about their daughter after all these years. It wasn't until today that she found out her husband had known about their daughter's situation all along but had been keeping it from her. Their daughter had suffered so much on the outside, why didn't he immediately acknowledge her and let her return to her family? As a mother, Lian Hongya felt she needed to make up for lost time and take responsibility for not being a good mother for the past 18 years. Just thinking about this made her angry, "Ning Tianhua, what are you doing? Our daughter is right in front of us, why can't we acknowledge her?"

  Knowing that he had misunderstood his wife, he hastily explained in a low voice: "My daughter's personality is very proud. Although the family that adopted her was not good, she has been proud and arrogant since childhood. Her adoptive mother treated her well too. She also had a strong sense of justice from an early age. At that time, we were forced to temporarily send her to live with a peasant family in the countryside, but in the end, we lost her. It's been eighteen years now, if we want to recognize her again, we need to find the right time and be absolutely sure."

  This remark slowly calmed down the excited Lian Hongya, who raised her somewhat dazed eyes to look at her husband. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately returned to calmness. She lowered her head and let her husband pull her away, only to glance back at the distant figure with a slender and tall silhouette once more before leaving.

  Sumo suddenly turned her head after thinking about her own affairs, she always felt that someone was staring at her, but when she went to look, there was nothing different around her. She furrowed her brow, thinking about how distracted she had been earlier. If this had happened in the past, she probably would have died without even knowing it. She let out a soft sigh, indeed, a good environment can make people lazy, and she too was gradually changing.

  Thinking of the boxing skills I learned before, it's been a long time since I've practiced them, so I'll just prepare to practice here.

  Su Mo's boxing attracted the attention of some elderly people practicing Tai Chi and jogging nearby. One old man, dressed in all-white sportswear with gray hair, walked up to her after she finished practicing, smiling and asked, "Little girl, your kung fu looks pretty solid, how old are you?"

  As someone approached and spoke to her, Su Mo'er casually replied, "Eighteen years old."

  "Your kung fu skills are quite good, how about it? Are you interested in exchanging a few moves with me?" The old man looked eager to try, which made Su Mo Ruo feel a bit itchy, but his eyes also flashed with suspicion. He thought that the old man should be around seventy years old, and if he wasn't careful, he might end up hurting him while sparring.

  She's not an ordinary girl, if she gets excited and fights with someone later, her strength might get out of control. In her past life in the Dragon Group, when she was sparring with others, she would often get so excited that she'd end up injuring them, so now she's also being cautious.

  Somona's suspicious gaze made him extremely dissatisfied, and the old man glared at Somona with his hands on his hips, shouting: "How, looking down on me? Thinking I'm old and not as capable as you young people?"

  Looking at the old man's appearance, Su Mo couldn't help but nod in resignation. Anyway, he thought the old man looked quite pleasant, so he went along with it, figuring that if things got out of hand, he could just hold back a bit on his own strength.

  As soon as Su Mo nodded, the old man became excited, rubbing his fists and palms, with a look of eagerness to try. His eyes sparkled like he had seen his long-awaited prey.

  "I'll be blunt, if you get hurt later on, it's not my problem." Su Mo said with a straight gaze at the old man in front of her, speaking without any courtesy.

  The old man twitched his mouth at these words, "Girl, your words sound so cold-blooded and irresponsible..."

  Cutting off the other's incessant chatter, "Love it or leave it."
