Ning Shu initially intended to remove the strand of energy from Ding Ningdie’s leg.

She was concerned if Ding Ningdie continued to be in so much pain, it might provoke Bai Hanmo to take out his anger on Mother Ding.

After all, Mother Ding was the one who had pushed Ding Ningdie down the stairs.

However, now that Bai Hanmo had decided to spit so many accusations at her like “you’re vicious,” “you’re unkind,” and “you deserve death,” Ning Shu happily opted to let Ding Ningdie endure this pain for a while longer.

Ning Shu shrugged, turned, and left. After leaving the hospital, she headed to the pharmacy to purchase herbs for making beauty paste and some other nourishing paste recipes.

As long as she had the right prescription, she could successfully create these concoctions.

However, certain recipes required skilled techniques that she needed to refine.

Ning Shu decided to allow Mother Ding to try her finished creations first.

Recently, Mother Ding appeared significantly more worn out. Her daughter’s fiancé had been stolen, her own marriage was strained, and she had been discreetly busy with the matter regarding the company.

Ning Shu presented her with nourishing paste and beauty paste, explaining their uses.

“Finding distractions is a good way to avoid dwelling on what happened with Ding Ningdie and Bai Hanmo,” Mother Ding commented as she accepted the items. “I’ll use these.”

Ning Shu: …

Could it be that Mother Ding thought that she was doing this to forget about Bai Hanmo?

That was giving Bai Hanmo too much credit. Regardless of how attractive Bai Hanmo might be, Ning Shu truly felt nothing for him.

Even the most striking individual was merely a pile of ashes, at most a box of ashes, once they were dead.

He was merely handsome and pleasing to look at. However, Bai Hanmo’s words lacked any appeal.

After all, she was once his fiancée. How could he turn so cold and heartless, becoming an enemy in the blink of an eye without offering any explanation?

Anyone would be angry if faced with such treatment.

Just like when Mother Ding hurt Bai Ningdie, Bai Hanmo also reacted with anger and sought revenge.

It was simply a natural human response.

But only others are considered vicious? Just because someone had an innocent and kind appearance, did that make them truly innocent and kind?

Ning Shu gave a dry laugh. She didn’t explain and just said, “You should try it. It will definitely work, making your face bloom like a peach blossom and appear ten years younger.”

Mother Ding assumed Ning Shu was attempting to cheer her up and didn’t take the statement to heart. She said, “Director Li’s shares have been acquired, but they’re still fewer than the shares your father possesses.”

“Let’s create some scandals, as long as you can endure them,” Ning Shu suggested.

Mother Ding pursed her lips. “Do you have any ideas?”

“I’ll definitely find a way as long as you can bear it,” Ning Shu reassured her.

Ning Shu opened the jar of paste and offered Mother Ding a spoonful.

Mother Ding quickly drank water to swallow it. The paste, made from boiled herbs, had a truly indescribable unique taste.

“Remember to take this daily.”

Ning Shu looked at Mother Ding. “Are you truly determined?”

“Determined to divorce Father and make a clean break?” Ning Shu was concerned that Mother Ding might waver in her decision.

Mother Ding nodded as she drank water. “I’ve made up my mind. Even if it’s not for my sake, I’ll do it for you.”

“If your father truly abandons me, what will become of you?” Mother Ding questioned. “Even if the company faces turmoil, I refuse to relinquish my position as Mrs. Ding, nor hand over the company to her.”

“I won’t let them have their way and even shamelessly claim that it’s true love.” Mother Ding said bitterly.

Ning Shu sensed that Mother Ding was relying on her bitterness to sustain herself. Hurt, she sought retribution.

Ultimately, they had been husband and wife for over twenty years, and Mother Ding’s actions hurt both herself and those around her.
