After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage-Chapter 23 - Ning Yichu’s Production Records
Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Ning Yichu’s Production Records
She immediately smiled so broadly that her eyes curled up like crescent moons.
The teacher was shocked!
Doudou was a loner and didn’t play with classmates. She had almost never seen her smile!
…
Ningning ran out of the kindergarten and met up with Chen Bao.
Without waiting for Chen Bao to speak, she spilled the beans about everything that had just happened.
...
“…I just knew little sister and that bad woman are not the same. She didn’t betray you! Scumbag dad asked her, but she didn’t tell, she’s still trustworthy!”
Chen Bao’s cool little face twisted slightly, “Even so, she is still the enemy’s daughter.”
“Oh, brother, why do you have such great hostility towards little sister? A bad woman is a bad woman, and little sister is little sister. Anyway, I left her my contact information if she contacts me, I will be friends with her,” Ningning argued firmly.
Chen Bao looked at Ningning with frustration, too angry to speak for a long while.
Ningning ran over to hug his arm and coo pleaded in a soft and tender voice, “Brother, are you angry? Actually, I think little sister is very pitiful. Everyone in our class went to have lunch, and nobody was there to play with her.”
Chen Bao suddenly grasped the key point and frowned, “Doesn’t she have a twin brother?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t see him.”
With that said, Chen Bao didn’t say much else. If Ningning really became friends with her, perhaps he could extract some information about their scumbag dad, which might help him in the future.
…
When Ning Yichu got home, she saw Ningning obediently staying at home. She had no idea she had gone out, much less that the little ones had secretly made contact.
The next day, the nanny, Aunt Wang, whom Fan Yuke had recommended, came for an interview.
Aunt Wang had previously taken care of a female celebrity’s child but took a long leave due to illness. After the child grew up, she was no longer needed.
Ning Yichu asked her a few questions, and Aunt Wang answered them all fluidly. She seemed very simple and honest, so she was hired.
There was a one-month trial period with regular salary set at six thousand yuan, with the option to occasionally stay over.
Just after hiring the nanny, Ning Yichu was considering taking Aunt Wang and Ningning out for a nice meal when her phone rang.
The call displayed was from Doctor Zhao from the psychiatric hospital. She immediately picked up.
“Lady Ning, please come to the hospital quickly. Your mother is having an episode again!” said Doctor Zhao, his voice filled with urgency.
In the past five years, fearing her mother wouldn’t adapt to a new environment, Ning Yichu dared not take her abroad, but she had stayed in contact with the attending doctor.
Hearing this, her heart tightened, “What? An episode again? Please stabilize her. I’ll be right there!”
After hanging up, Ning Yichu couldn’t care about eating anymore. She told Aunt Wang to look after the child and rushed out the door.
Twenty minutes later, at Nandu Sanatorium, Ning Yichu looked at this sanatorium that had “imprisoned” her mother for over a decade, her thoughts overwhelming her.
She pushed open the door of the hospital room. Mrs Ning had been given a sedative and was asleep in bed.
Five years had passed, and she looked even more worn than in her memories!
Tears almost burst forth, surging down!
A middle-aged doctor in his forties or fifties approached; it was Mrs. Ning’s attending doctor, Zhao Jinghai.
“Lady Ning, you’re here…”
“Doctor Zhao, what exactly is wrong with my mom? You said before that she had improved a lot. Why has it suddenly become so severe!” Ning Yichu asked hastily.
Doctor Zhao felt helpless, “I wasn’t supposed to be on duty today, but I got a call from the nurse saying your mother had had an episode, so I immediately took a taxi back.”
He paused, glanced at the woman in the hospital bed, and then continued, “Logically, after many years of treatment at the hospital, your mother’s condition should have improved, but…”
“But what?”
“Over the years, the Ning Family members have occasionally visited your mother. Each time they come, she gets agitated, especially since she’s been regaining her consciousness—it makes the stimulation all the more lethal.”
“People from the Ning Family came?” Ning Yichu was extremely surprised.
After all, the Ning Family were among the elites of Imperial City, and ever since her mother developed mental issues, they had deemed this daughter a disgrace and promptly cast her out.
They had not cared at all over the years!
“Did they do it on purpose?” Ning Yichu asked angrily.
Doctor Zhao waved his hand, “The two times they came when I was present, I didn’t hear them say anything unpleasant. It might have triggered some painful memories subconsciously for your mother, but as relatives, the hospital can’t really stop them.”
Ning Yichu felt utterly loathsome toward those scoundrels from the Ning Family. Did they despise seeing her and her mother well?
“My mom has already cut ties with them, how are they considered relatives? Next time they come, please have security throw them out. Don’t let them agitate my mother again…”
It was also her fault, since the Ning Family had never shown up before, she hadn’t specifically warned Doctor Zhao.
Doctor Zhao understood immediately, “With your words, I’m reassured. Go and pay this quarter’s care fees now.”
Ning Yichu nodded, thanked Doctor Zhao, and went downstairs to make the payment.
“The total is eighty-seven thousand three hundred twenty dollars. Will you be paying by card or cash?”
Ning Yichu paused for a moment as she reached for her card, “Wasn’t it just seventy thousand last quarter?”
“Doctor Zhao recently switched your mother to an imported tranquilizer. Also, the hospital’s bed fees have increased. If you find it too expensive, you can ask Doctor Zhao to switch the medication back.”

“No need to switch, I’ll pay the money!” For a medicine beneficial to her mother, Ning Yichu wouldn’t hesitate.
However, spending over two hundred thousand consecutively, her savings wouldn’t last much longer.
After making the payment, Ning Yichu returned to the ward to be with her mother.
An hour later, Mrs. Ning woke up, and her first reaction was to search for a worn-out cloth doll, then she held the doll and softly called out “Chu Chu,” smiling contentedly like a child who had gained the whole world.
Ning Yichu remembered that cloth doll—it had been the only toy they took when they were driven out of the Ning Family.
Her mother treated that cloth doll as her.
Tears almost escaped Ning Yichu’s eyes again.
She could treat critically ill heart patients, but she couldn’t cure her own mother.
In fact, during her college years, she majored in psychiatry, but her professor said she was too obsessed and wasn’t suited for the field, advising her to switch to cardiac surgery instead.
Later, when she moved abroad and had to take care of two children, she couldn’t continue to work as a demanding doctor, so she self-taught herself in jade sculpture design.
Unexpectedly, without much intention, she gained a notable reputation.
…
As the evening lights came on, Li Lingyang stood in front of the vast floor-to-ceiling windows of his large study.
His silhouette was tall and stately, like a solitary, majestic eagle.
The phone rang, carrying Special Assistant Xu’s voice, almost tearful, “President Li, news came back from Europe; we couldn’t find any birth records for Lady Ning, not only that, but there isn’t even a single basic medical record, as if someone deliberately blocked her information!”
