Chapter 357: Chapter 357

Carrying some items, she walked into the hospital building and headed directly to the ward where Ning Wan was staying. She decided to visit Ning Wan today and her grandfather tomorrow—it had been almost two weeks since she last saw her grandfather, and she really missed him.

In the high-grade ward upstairs, Ning Wan sat propped up on the hospital bed, her gaze falling on Ning Yan’er, who was dressed in an exquisite makeup, a Chanel outfit, and wearing a Cartier watch. Ning Wan couldn’t help but want to click her tongue in wonder. Just Ning Yan’er’s attire, let alone the designer bag she was holding, was already worth over a million.

Dressed so nicely, carrying a bag worth hundreds of thousands, aren’t you afraid of being robbed when you go out?

Ning Wan couldn’t suppress her daydreaming. Dressed , one glance and everyone knows you’re wealthy. What if you got kidnapped, what then?

Ning Yan’er stood inside the ward, looking at Ning Wan who lay on the bed showing no change in expression. There wasn’t a hint of a smile on her face, rather, a few degrees colder, and only after a long while did she speak, "Ning Wan, why did you come back to An City? Didn’t you dislike Mo Han? What are you back here for?"

"Why I came back, don’t you know?" Ning Wan heard Ning Yan’er’s words and couldn’t hold back a smile. She looked at her with a light and charming smile, continuing to speak, "Asking this question now, aren’t you just playing dumb?"

Ning Wan has never liked Ning Yan’er, disliking her since they were children. Even before meeting Xi Mohan, she already had a big prejudice against Ning Yan’er. However, it hadn’t been so explicitly expressed back then. Later, after getting to know Xi Mohan, and especially after discovering that Xi Mohan liked Ning Yan’er while harboring a deep affection for him herself, her hatred toward Ning Yan’er grew, wishing she could confront and snap at her whenever she saw her.

Ning Yan’er had received a lady’s education since she was young and normally wouldn’t retort as sharply as Ning Wan. Often, she would be at a loss for words due to Ning Wan’s biting comments, which made Ning Wan seem somewhat crude in comparison.

Later on, she also realized this and probably understood why Xi Mohan liked a seemingly superior Ning Yan’er and not her—it was probably because she, Ning Wan, was not ladylike enough.

Ning Yan’er’s expression changed upon hearing Ning Wan’s words, seemingly more certain of the meaning behind Ning Wan’s words because they aligned with her own thoughts. She frowned as she looked at Ning Wan, speaking again, "Ning Wan, what exactly do you want? As long as you’re willing to leave Xi Mohan, I’ll give you money, I’ll give you any amount you want."

It was only when Xi Mohan announced the cancellation of their wedding that Ning Yan’er truly realized the seriousness of the situation. She liked Xi Mohan, more than anyone else, and had even fallen in love with him, so she couldn’t willingly break up with Xi Mohan, let alone let Ning Wan have him.

In Ning Yan’er’s opinion, Ning Wan could not compare to herself in any aspect, except that Ning Wan was more beautiful than her.

Ning Wan was indeed beautiful, once hailed as the number one beauty of An City, inheriting the fine looks from both her parents. Ning Wan’s mother, a famous violinist in her youth, was also renowned for her exceptional beauty, often regarded as an unsurpassable legend topping the national goddess rankings due to her appearance.

Ning Wan’s father was also exceptionally handsome, and with both parents’ good genes, Ning Wan grew up very beautiful herself, with virtually no angle from which she did not look striking, many times more beautiful than those popular actresses.

Song Qiao even joked with Ning Wan once that if she decided to become a star, she would definitely be more influential than those Actress and even more famous than the top stars.

Ning Wan had once thought about acting in movies and becoming a star, but in the end, it was just a thought and she never took any action.

Looking up at Ning Yan’er, who could no longer maintain her composure, Ning Wan’s lips curled up provocatively as she spoke, "Ning Yan’er, the way you put it, it’s as if I have come back specifically to compete with you for Xi Mohan."

Ning Yan’er, her hand resting by her side, unconsciously clenched into a fist, but she did not utter a word, clearly conceding to Ning Wan’s statement. She really thought this way, that Ning Wan had returned to fight with her over Xi Mohan.

Perhaps in the past, she wouldn’t have considered Ning Wan a threat, knowing all too well how much Xi Mohan detested Ning Wan, but after being reminded by her close friends that there is a kind of love that’s ’bold but forbidden, only bringing mutual torment’, she suddenly realized that Xi Mohan was not indifferent to Ning Wan, but rather, he loved and couldn’t love her; in tormenting Ning Wan, he was also tormenting himself.
