Chapter 200: Jiang Ning Is Back
“Jiang Ning” couldn’t even feel the pain anymore.
Her heart was filled with desolation.
She had given all her love to Gu Lanli, but in the end, her life was still not worth as much as Su Wanyuan in his eyes.
“Jiang Ning”‘s tears fell drop by drop, her heart completely dead. She looked up at the void, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curved into a twisted arc.
Let down her, and no one should have it easy!
Jiang Ning floating in mid-air suddenly felt something was wrong.
It was already too late to float away.
An irresistible force pulled at her.
Her mind spun with dizziness, and when she came back to herself, she looked at the cement floor beneath her feet in a daze.
The overhead lights made Jiang Ning somewhat dazed.
She… was back?
Her cheek was lifted again, and Su Wanyuan’s expression turned ferocious: “Didn’t you like sending little thugs to harass me? These three men are my gift to you.”
She flung her hand hard, leaving a burning scratch on Jiang Ning’s fair and tender cheek.
Jiang Ning started cursing inwardly.
Damn it!
She had been made into a lonely wild ghost for so long, and when the original owner saw something was wrong, she chose to leave this body and let Jiang Ning come suffer!
It was so disgusting, making her take the blame again.
Now she was tied up tightly, what could she do in this situation?
Su Wanyuan disdainfully wiped her fingers and waved her hand: “This woman is yours as a reward.”
The three men rubbed their fists, approaching with ill intent.
Jiang Ning finally looked up.
Even though her face was scratched, it still didn’t affect her beauty.
A pair of doe eyes restored to clean purity.
Her voice was slightly cold: “Wait a minute, Su Wanyuan, you seem to have it wrong. Before they get the ransom, I must still be safe.”
Su Wanyuan furrowed her brows, staring at Jiang Ning, while Jiang Ning met her gaze without flinching. Su Wanyuan was startled, an indescribable feeling arising—why did the person in front of her feel like a completely different one.
Even being stared at by Jiang Ning made a sense of fear arise in Su Wanyuan’s heart.
She was annoyed inside, clenching her fist hard: “The kidnappers can do whatever they want, do you think you have any choice? Even if they know your end will be miserable, they won’t sympathize with you, because it’s what you brought on yourself!”
Jiang Ning’s red lips curved into a slight smile, her doe eyes turning sharp in a second, and she said slowly: “Since they all know these three kidnappers were paid by me to harm you, then if they were really my people, why would they harm me, the buyer, while you remain unscathed? Su Wanyuan, no one is a fool. If you harm me, you won’t get away either.”
Su Wanyuan froze in place, stunned speechless by Jiang Ning’s words.
Because her mind had turned the corner too.
Yes, she had already sent the video of Jiang Ning hiring thugs to Gu Lanli, Xie Jingyan, and Jiang Yan.
She wanted all of them to despise Jiang Ning.
But she forgot, if Jiang Ning got hurt, then her “hiring thugs” point wouldn’t hold up.
Which kidnapper harms their employer.
The light in Su Wanyuan’s eyes flickered, and in the end, she unwillingly stopped the three kidnappers: “Don’t hurt her.”
The sleazy trio didn’t dare resist Su Wanyuan, though they felt a bit regretful.
The duck at their mouth flew away just like that.
But compared to the reward Su Wanyuan offered, a woman could wait a bit.
“Let’s go outside.”
It wasn’t until all four had gone out and the outside door was locked.
That Jiang Ning’s tense body slowly relaxed.
She struggled a bit, but the ropes on her hands tightened more with the struggle, leaving her somewhat desperate.
The original owner this idiot, couldn’t even see such an obvious trap, stupidly walked right into it, and when she realized she couldn’t handle it, directly disappeared, leaving her to fill the hole.
But luckily, she was clever in the end and didn’t let herself fall into those three men’s hands, or she’d go crazy.
Jiang Ning calmed her mind and began calling the system in her head: 『Little Honey, are you still there? I’m back, the mission is complete, why haven’t I left this world yet?』
The yellow small light orb drilled out from the floor and rubbed against Jiang Ning.
Little Honey: 【Wuwu, host, I missed you so much. I couldn’t even sleep following that bad Jiang Ning. She kept calling me every day, annoying me so much I shut down directly, so that’s why sometimes you called me and I didn’t appear.】
Jiang Ning: “……”
『You’re really a chaste and pure good system.』
Little Honey’s voice was smug: 【Of course, don’t you see who raised me? I couldn’t be bothered with her, good that she left, just looking at her was irritating.】
Mentioning this, Jiang Ning asked: 『Will she come back?』
Little Honey snorted lightly: 【Impossible to come back. When she gave up this body, her soul dissipated. Did she really think it’s child’s play, come back when she wants, leave when she wants?】
Hearing this, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and started asking the key question: 『Check my mission, is it bugged again? I’m still here.』
Little Honey then said: 【Host, the mission isn’t bugged. After tomorrow, your character will be done. Because they all chose Su Wanyuan, and you’re thrown off the cliff, smashed into pieces by sharp stones. Once you’re dead, you can smoothly return to your own world.】
While Jiang Ning understood, she also felt a bit disappointed inside.
She didn’t expect that coming back at the end was just to see them one last time.
Little Honey could sense Jiang Ning’s low mood and couldn’t help advising: 【Host, didn’t you exchange one hundred million for a wish? This wish will only be fulfilled when you leave this world. If you stay here, the following plot won’t change. Wanting to be with the male lead will be very, very hard…】
Jiang Ning understood the reasoning.
She thought of that day in the hospital when she heard Xie Jingyan say “I don’t like her anymore.”
He seemed to have let go too.
Jiang Ning’s heart became carefree.
Forget it, knowing them was not a regret.
She looked up at the window at the very top; from here, she could see the pitch-black night sky and the occasionally twinkling stars.
Even though it was almost March now, tomorrow would still be nice weather.
……
Gu Lanli prepared a bag of ransom, a full five million, prepared for Su Wanyuan.
He was certain in his heart that Jiang Ning, who was putting on a self-directed act, would be fine. After rescuing Su Wanyuan, he’d leave, and incidentally give Jiang Ning a lesson—who let her be so bad.
But when he arrived at the agreed desolate mountain, he unexpectedly saw two familiar people.
“Jiang Yan? Xie Jingyan? Why are you here?”
Jiang Yan’s gaze turned to him, his expression downcast and somewhat indifferent: “Rescue people.”
He was carrying a bag in his hand, containing an antique.
Gu Lanli understood: “You’re going to rescue Wanyuan too, right? You go back, I’m enough here. I have the confidence to bring Wanyuan out.”
Jiang Yan silently looked at him and said no more.
Gu Lanli then turned his gaze to the indifferent and lazy Xie Jingyan, frowning irritably: “What are you here for again? Now that you know Jiang Ning’s bad, it’s too late to make up for Wanyuan. She’s not the kind of girl you can coax back with a few words.”
Xie Jingyan looked at him like he was an idiot, then snickered after a moment, his smile brilliant: “I’m here to watch the show, to see how the Jiang Ning you all hate dies.”
Typo correction, thank you, dears. This book has reached two hundred chapters!
