Wang Shiyu pursed her red lips, her eyes cold as she looked at Zhan Xiaojun.
She had returned to the country that morning.
It had only been two hours since she deplaned.
Before she could even adjust to the time difference, she had come here with her aunt.
When she learned that Ning Yecheng was going to get engaged to a woman who had appeared out of nowhere, she panicked.
She hadn't contacted Ning Yecheng for years, but she could still get plenty of news about him.
She knew he never had many women around him.
But who would have thought someone would suddenly appear, and he would be engaged to this woman!
“I am his moon white light, and you are just a substitute. Zhan Xiaojun, the car you’re driving now was bought for you by him, wasn’t it? I’ve looked into you. Although you are Zhan Zhicheng’s daughter, you grew up in the countryside and lived a poor life since childhood, which is why you are now climbing up at any cost. But you’ve picked the wrong person. Ning Yecheng is not the one you should have grasped. You and he are not from the same world, you don’t deserve him.” Wang Shiyu said in a deep voice.
Both in her words and in the way she looked at Zhan Xiaojun, she exuded disdain.
A woman who relied on her looks to attract men wouldn’t go far.
“You know now, don’t you? You should recognize your own status. Name your price.” Wang Wanji said proudly.
Zhan Xiaojun smiled, a smile that was neither here nor there. “When did I not know Ning Yecheng had a moon white light?”
From her understanding of Ning Yecheng, if he truly had a moon white light in his heart, he would never have gotten entangled with her.
If the two people before her wanted to intimidate her into leaving, they should have brought out something substantial.
“What are you to even know about the Ning family’s affairs? You think by pleasing Old Madam Ning, you’ve become Ning Yecheng’s future wife?” Wang Wanji did not expect that this young girl, despite her young age, was so difficult to intimidate.
And she even dared to retort!
Her audacity was simply outrageous!
Relying on Ning Yecheng’s current protection, she dared to disregard the rest of the Ning family?
Wang Shiyu was now extremely dissatisfied with Zhan Xiaojun’s reaction.
Unconcerned.
Arrogant.
It was evident that Zhan Xiaojun was acting this way by leveraging her relationship with Ning Yecheng.
“It seems you won’t give up easily,” Wang Shiyu said coldly.
Zhan Xiaojun raised her wrist to check the time. “You have five minutes left. Say what you need to say, or you can have Ning Yecheng call me. As long as he asks me to leave, I will never look back.”
She was a reasonable person sometimes.
As long as it wasn’t too excessive.
She would agree.
Wang Shiyu’s expression turned grim. “Only when you hear from Yecheng will you give up, right?”
“Shiyu, call Yecheng and tell him you’re back, then make Zhan Xiaojun give up. But, Zhan Xiaojun, listen carefully, if you leave now, I might be in a good mood and give you some money. Once Ning Yecheng asks you to leave, you won’t get a single cent, understand?” Wang Wanji warned.
In fact, she never wanted to even look at these people from the lower rungs of society.
They relied on their looks and bodies to seduce men, truly not worth a second glance.
She used to think Ning Yecheng wouldn’t care about such superficial things, but now she saw that no matter how capable Ning Yecheng was, he was still a man.
Men couldn’t escape the common fate.
Wang Shiyu, with a cold face, took out her phone and dialed a number.
This was the first time she had actively contacted him in years.
Actually, she had always been waiting for him to contact her.
But he had never initiated contact.
Perhaps it was due to the overwhelming affairs of Ning Corporation, so he hadn't thought of reaching out to her.
Even if she hadn’t returned now, she had planned to come back by the end of this year. She didn’t want to delay any longer.
She was already twenty-eight this year.
Looking at the young Zhan Xiaojun before her, it was impossible not to feel jealous.
Zhan Xiaojun waited quietly.
A few days ago, she had heard from Liu Ning that apart from Old Madam Ning, no one else in the Ning family should be trusted; some people were ruthless.
Now it seemed Liu Ning’s reminder was not wrong.
Wang Shiyu’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
For a moment, she was afraid Ning Yecheng wouldn’t answer.
Fortunately, after a few rings, he answered.
“Yecheng, it’s me.” Her voice trembled slightly, yet it carried a hint of fragility and longing.
She hadn’t seen him for years, and she truly missed him.
Zhan Xiaojun watched calmly.
The phone was on speaker.
She could hear clearly from this distance.
“Who is this?” Ning Yecheng’s voice was bone-chillingly cold.
Even through the phone, his distant voice made one’s heart tremble.
Wang Shiyu bit her red lip.
When a beauty becomes fragile, she is very pitiable.
Zhan Xiaojun liked looking at beautiful women.
So, seeing the change in Wang Shiyu’s expression, she looked a few more times.
“I’m Wang Shiyu, I’m back, Yecheng.” Tears welled up in Wang Shiyu’s eyes, carrying a hint of grievance.
She had kept his phone number memorized in her heart.
But he had actually deleted her number.
And he hadn’t recognized her immediately.
Ning Yecheng’s voice remained indifferent. “Who is Wang Shiyu?”
It was clear from the questioning voice coming from the phone that Ning Yecheng was genuinely asking; he truly couldn’t remember who Wang Shiyu was.
Zhan Xiaojun’s gaze flickered. This was rather awkward.
Wang Shiyu’s face suddenly turned pale, losing all color. “Yecheng, I know I angered you by deciding to leave Yan Cheng back then, but I wanted to pursue further studies abroad. Now that I’m back, we can resolve some misunderstandings.”
Impossible.
How could he have forgotten her?
Back in Yan Cheng, at several gatherings of the Ning family, they were considered a perfect match by everyone.
“Wang Shiyu, is it? Call me again, and I’ll send you back where you came from! Tell the people around you, if you dare to harbor any ill intentions, don’t blame me for eradicating them.”
Ning Yecheng’s threat came through the phone, undisguised.
Zhan Xiaojun sighed again. This was truly awkward.
For a moment, she had genuinely believed that Ning Yecheng and Wang Shiyu might have had some connection, especially since Wang Shiyu was so confident.
Wang Shiyu’s hand shook, and the phone fell to the ground. She murmured in disbelief, “Why? Why is he like this? Aunt, he clearly only loved me back then, why is he so heartless to me now?”
Wang Wanji clearly hadn’t expected this either. “This… perhaps he truly resents you. After all, you left Yan Cheng, abandoning everything, and made him wait for years. It’s normal for him to resent you, and it’s normal for him to say harsh words.”
“Why couldn’t he be understanding? Why is he so cold to me?” Wang Shiyu cried uncontrollably.
Zhan Xiaojun felt as if she had seen this scene in a recent TV drama.
The female protagonist was misunderstood by the male protagonist, then endured his heartless treatment, crying torrents of tears, making the audience sympathize with her plight.
Unfortunately, Zhan Xiaojun was not interested in such plots. She opened the car door, intending to get in.
“Wait! The conversation isn’t over, where are you going?”
