Chapter 192: Jiang Ning, Don’t Fall Into Despair
Because of this voice.
Xie Jingyan’s spirit blurred for a moment.
Has Jiang Ning come back?
However, the next second, he was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by two bodyguards.
Fists and feet rained down, forcing him to tightly protect his head.
When he came to, he realized that it was all just his hallucination.
He couldn’t help but want to laugh.
What was he still hoping for?
Was he expecting Jiang Ning, who left with one hundred million, to come back?
He already knew the truth, yet he was still indulging in wishful thinking.
Because of her appearance.
His life was a complete mess.
Memories of Jiang Ning in his mind played like a fast-forward montage, finally swallowed by darkness.
He was actually unwilling to accept it.
It was the first time he liked someone so much.
Even if Jiang Ning deceived him and hid things from him, he still hoped she would come back, as long as she gave him an explanation.
He would believe whatever she said.
Even if Jiang Ning said she had no ulterior motives and never intended to harm Xiao He.
Xie Jingyan would believe it.
Because the Jiang Ning he knew would play with Xiao He, give her gifts, remind her to take her medicine properly, laugh and fool around with them, and risk her life to save others.
But now, Xie Jingyan hoped the memories would be erased, destiny reversed, and he never wanted to meet Jiang Ning again.
“Jiang Ning” coughed lightly and touched her throat, her eyes full of malice. She raised her hand, and only then did the two bodyguards stop.
She sneered coldly: “What a romantic fool. I just imitated her calling you once, and you couldn’t bring yourself to act. Xie Jingyan, look at this house, look at me, then look at yourself. This is the social class between us. You’ll never cross it in your lifetime. You’re destined to be trampled under my feet.”
“Jiang Ning”‘s expression was very smug.
She just had power and influence, and she liked bullying people like Xie Jingyan who crawled out from the poor. She liked giving them hope and then sending them down the road to despair.
She really felt a great sense of accomplishment; the blood in her body was boiling and roaring.
She, “Jiang Ning”, was born evil.
She didn’t need that person from another world to whitewash her.
Nor did she need others to change their impression of her.
So what if she did all kinds of evil things?
As long as she had money, she could settle anything.
Xie Jingyan looked up. In his line of sight, Jiang Ning looked down at him arrogantly and disdainfully, like he was trash.
Social class?
Unable to cross?
So fond of treating human lives like garbage?
His dark eyes were bloodshot, like bleeding tears, staring intensely at Jiang Ning as he swore word by word solemnly: “Jiang Ning, don’t ever fall from grace. Otherwise, if you fall into my hands, I’ll make sure you die without an intact corpse.”
“Jiang Ning” curled her lips and smiled: “If you have the guts, come try it. Don’t just talk big.”
A servant poured her a glass of red wine. She sipped it, looking at the disheveled Xie Jingyan and laughing wildly and arrogantly.
She raised her hand lightly, her tone cold: “Throw him out. Don’t dirty my place.”
“Jiang Ning” was like a victor, holding her proud head high, fearlessly staring straight into Xie Jingyan’s eyes that hated her to the bone.
……
[Ding, plot point +5, total progress 95%.]
Jiang Ning was startled awake by the cold mechanical sound.
She didn’t know how long it had been outside.
Ever since leaving Ninth Middle School last time, Jiang Ning had found a place to hide.
Anyway, as a soul body, she wouldn’t feel cold or hungry.
After searching for a long time, Jiang Yan’s place was still the most suitable for her to stay.
Because White Manor had “Jiang Ning”, and the rental room made her too guilty to face Xie Jingyan.
Sui Tang seemed to have started distancing herself because of the “Jiang Ning” issue.
Shen Jinhe had contacted “Jiang Ning” once and was so angered that she left Jin Cheng early to study abroad.
Meanwhile, Wei Jin was participating in a talent show, striving to make it big, busy every day without a break.
After considering everywhere, only Jiang Yan’s place was peaceful.
He seemed like someone abandoned by the world.
Father Jiang and Madam Jiang were afraid “Jiang Ning” would commit suicide, so they no longer paid attention to Jiang Yan.
Every day they just gave him money to spend and took care of his food and drink.
All the efforts Jiang Ning made while she was still around were in vain.
In just over a month since “Jiang Ning” returned, everything was back to square one.
When she heard this mechanical sound, she thought it was a hallucination.
She was stunned for a while before going to the living room to check the time and date.
February 7th.
New Year was already over?
Jiang Ning turned her head and saw Jiang Yan hugging his knees on the sofa. The entire villa was eerily quiet.
He stared blankly ahead.
Jiang Ning sighed silently, then summoned Little Honey.
“Little Honey, what’s going on? Why did the plot point increase again?”
After about a minute, Little Honey appeared slowly.
It floated beside Jiang Ning.
Little Honey: [Host… Xiao He is dying.]
Jiang Ning widened her eyes in disbelief and asked urgently: “Dying? Why? Didn’t they find matching bone marrow? Wasn’t the surgery supposed to be after New Year? How is she dying? Did her body have a rejection reaction after the surgery? Is there any way to save her? If Xiao He dies… if Xiao He dies… what about Xie Jingyan? What about Grandma Xie?”
No one knew better than her the significance of Xiao He to Xie Jingyan.
She was the only link tying him to his deceased mother.
She was his blood-related, closest loved one.
She was the person he had worked so hard for so long to save.
Little Honey’s voice was somewhat angry and trembling: [Host… It’s the current Jiang Ning. She falsely used Sui Qingshan’s name to sell that bone marrow. Xiao He’s body can’t hold on anymore. She won’t survive this spring. The male lead now… hates you so much… Host, sorry, it’s all my fault for being useless.]
Jiang Ning froze in place.
Her voice trembled slightly: [So… because Xiao He’s life has reached its end, that’s why this plot point was completed?]
Little Honey stayed silent, which was as good as admitting it.
Jiang Ning blinked her eyes.
Tears fell profusely.
They dripped to the ground, turning into wisps of air.
Xiao He…
She was already such a pitiful little girl, finally seeing hope.
Why did someone have to die?
When would this world stop controlling others’ destinies?
Memories of her meetings with Xie He involuntarily flooded her mind.
From the beginning, when Old Mrs. Xie knelt and pleaded due to unpaid medical expenses, Jiang Ning accidentally saw Xie He’s tears in the hospital room.
She softened.
She didn’t know what illness Xie He had at the time.
But she still advanced the medical expenses.
Later she learned it was leukemia.
Xie He was not discouraged at all by her serious illness.
In her words, her dreams for the future were all about going to school to study, contributing to the motherland when she grew up, and becoming as capable as her brother.
When Jiang Ning visited Jingya, she saw her once, gave her a doll, and promised to get her a wig.
But this promise, she seemed unable to fulfill.
She had broken her word.
Jiang Ning walked to Jiang Yan’s side, reached out to touch him, but in the end held back.
Then she turned and left.
She looked at the gloomy sky outside, with continuous drizzle falling.
Jiang Ning asked softly: “Little Honey, can I use one hundred million to exchange for a wish?”
Typo correction aww~
