Chapter 215: I Refuse
Jiang Ning’s words that were about to come out were stuck in her throat.
She looked at Su Wanyuan, who was even more shocked than her, staring straight at her without even blinking.
The little girl Su Wanyuan was holding let go of Su Wanyuan’s hand, wearing white lace-trimmed cotton-padded clothes, and pounced to Xie Jingyan’s feet like a flower butterfly, her grape-like eyes looking at Jiang Ning with hostility.
In a childish voice: “Father, who is this aunt?”
Xie Jingyan frowned, just about to say something.
Jiang Ning hurriedly waved her hands and retreated a few steps, away from Xie Jingyan.
She said to the little girl: “Don’t misunderstand, we are strangers who don’t know each other.”
Jiang Ning couldn’t describe her mood at this moment, like a basin of cold water poured over her, chilling her to the heart.
If an hour ago Jiang Ning had still held a fluke mentality, then now it was confirmed.
This world’s script, even if there was a blood feud between the male lead and female lead, could still lead to a happy ending.
Snowflakes began to fall from heaven again, the cold wind seeping into her skin and bones like it was wrapping around her pant legs, the chill piercing to the bone.
Jiang Ning looked at their family of three, feeling that if she stayed any longer she would have a heart attack, so after speaking she left without looking back.
Xie Jingyan watched Jiang Ning jog across the street, a car speeding toward her from not far away.
He opened his eyes wide in horror.
He flung off the little girl’s hand and rushed toward Jiang Ning regardless.
Jiang Ning was just about to cross the street when her arm was forcefully pulled, her steps unsteady as she directly fell into an embrace full of sandalwood scent.
Xie Jingyan’s voice trembled slightly: “Be careful, there’s a car.”
Jiang Ning looked up; the car had stopped at the crosswalk. Because of this delay, the green light quickly turned red, and vehicles began to pass.
Jiang Ning turned her head; the little girl had fallen to the ground, her little hands scraped, her mouth pursed in grievance as she cried loudly.
Su Wanyuan was flustered trying to coax her.
Jiang Ning suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, anger surging in her heart instantly.
She broke free from Xie Jingyan’s grip and shoved him hard, her voice thick with anger: “Get lost.”
Xie Jingyan looked at Jiang Ning’s eyes, cold with anger, all words stuck in his throat.
Jiang Ning didn’t want to see his face anymore; when the green light came on, she ran across the street without looking back.
Xie Jingyan wanted to chase after her.
But upon hearing the vehicle horn, he instinctively stopped.
He looked at his feet; the bright red light opposite him, even after so long, still looked like a pool of blood.
He was afraid to cross the street…
Jiang Ning disappeared from his sight, passing vehicles blocking his way.
He lowered his eyes, his expression returning to indifference, and turned to walk toward Su Wanyuan.
He didn’t look at Su Wanyuan but squatted down to pat the dust off the little girl.
The little girl’s emotions erupted; she burst into tears with a “wah,” her little hands hugging Xie Jingyan’s neck, sobbing: “Wah wah wah, Father, what did Yuan Yuan do wrong? Wah wah, it hurts so much.”
Xie Jingyan could only say: “Sorry, it won’t happen next time.”
Yuan Yuan whined and cried, clinging to Xie Jingyan’s shoulder: “I don’t like that aunt, I hate her, she will take away my father. Father, can we go back to Capital City? The kitten at home is hungry.”
Xie Jingyan softly agreed: “Okay.”
Then he made a telephone call.
A luxurious extended Lincoln stopped at the roadside.
Xie Jingyan helped Yuan Yuan into the car and closed the door before turning to look at Su Wanyuan, his gaze cold: “Who allowed you to approach her?”
Su Wanyuan bit her lip, lowering her head somewhat fearfully: “Sorry… Yuan Yuan was fussing for you, so I brought her to Jin Cheng.”
Xie Jingyan sneered: “Don’t forget your identity. I said you’re not allowed to approach Yuan Yuan, yet today you brought her to Jin Cheng and arranged this scene. Who is it for?”
Su Wanyuan’s facial expression paled, the secret in her heart instantly exposed, making her face flush red then white.
She looked at Xie Jingyan’s perfect yet almost indifferent face with red eyes.
Ten years.
He was always so detached, like an emotionless piece of wood.
Only just now…
He even disregarded Yuan Yuan.
To chase… that girl who looked just like Jiang Ning.
No… perhaps it was… Jiang Ning, who had died ten years ago, resurrected.
Panic reached its peak in her heart.
No wonder Xie Jingyan’s whereabouts were strange, no wonder he turned down billions in cooperation to come to Jin Cheng.
Perhaps he didn’t come to Jin Cheng… but to find Jiang Ning.
Su Wanyuan’s heart felt like it was soaked in vinegar, sour and astringent.
A full ten years.
Even the most passionate past should have been worn away by now; couldn’t he look at the person in front of him?
Su Wanyuan took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in her heart: “That person… is she Jiang Ning?”
Xie Jingyan’s gaze was cold: “It has nothing to do with you.”
Xie Jingyan got into the car, leaving Su Wanyuan alone in the cold wind.
Su Wanyuan gritted her teeth unwillingly.
All those signs were deceptive.
Even if Jiang Ning died in the end.
She still didn’t rise with the wind; instead, because of the added identity of Bai Family miss, it made her as if living in hell…
…
Jiang Ning ran a long distance.
Her stomach churned; she held onto the trash can by the road and vomited heartbreakingly.
The beef noodles she had just eaten were vomited out, along with a pool of blood.
After vomiting, Jiang Ning panted lightly and wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand.
Red bloodstains remained on her fair hand back.
Behind her was a shop.
The glass display window reflected Jiang Ning’s disheveled appearance.
Her eyes were slightly red, the blood at her mouth not wiped clean, leaving a smear of red.
The wig had shifted a bit from running, revealing a bit of her bald head.
Jiang Ning’s hand hanging at her side clenched tightly; thinking of the scene just now, she felt increasingly humiliated.
She sniffed, her voice a bit hoarse: “Little Honey, can I give up the mission?”
“I probably can’t kill him anymore.”
Little Honey anxiously spun in circles: [Host, why? The male lead is very easy to strategy. As long as you reveal your identity and ask him out once, he will definitely come. Then your illness will be cured and you’ll get one trillion! How happy that would be.]
Jiang Ning lowered her eyes, not happy at all: “But you didn’t tell me he has a child.”
Little Honey opened its mouth, wanting to say something but couldn’t come up with words.
Instead it said: [Host… these male leads can all be explained. Because this is a new script, I can’t reveal too much to you. If you have any ideas, you can ask the male lead; he will definitely tell you.]
Jiang Ning shook her head: “No need… I don’t want to kill him anymore. I know that a child without adult protection has a hard time even growing up. I don’t want that little girl to be like me before, washing her hair with laundry detergent by the river. It was really too bitter…”
Little Honey burst into tears: [Wah wah wah, Host… I don’t want you to die. It’s very simple, this mission is really very simple. The male lead will be willing.]
Jiang Ning looked at the swirling snowflakes and exhaled a breath of hot air, her voice very soft: “But… I’m not willing.”
