The few of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Song Ning sighed and finally said, “Forget it. Grandma Cheng is right. The past isn’t important. What’s important is the present. Cheng Che’s safety is the most important. I have to find a way to meet Director Wang; I feel uneasy. She’s without relatives and friends now. I’m afraid she’ll go to the extremes. After all, despair can push one very far…”

!!

Mu Chen put his arm around Song Ning’s shoulders to comfort her.

Cheng Che wiped his face, looking exhausted. “I just want to have a good talk with the Yin family. I want to ask why. I want a reason.”

Everyone looked at Cheng Che sympathetically.

Jiahui gently patted his shoulder and said, “Silly, there isn’t always a reason for everything. The human heart is always biased. Why are you so stubborn? Just treat it as a nightmare. Even if they give you a reason, what reason do you think is acceptable to you?”

Jiahui squatted down and looked up at Cheng Che before she continued to say, “Instead of being stuck in this quagmire, why don’t we take a step back and leave this place? Since we know it’s an abyss, why do we still have to jump into the abyss just to discover the truth? There’s no need for that. If you worry about your sister, talk to her and see if she’s willing to leave. Don’t torture yourself over other people’s actions or the reasons for their actions, okay?”

Cheng Che looked at Jiahui with a somewhat blank gaze.

Mu Chen motioned to Song Ning and Zhuang Ning before the trio tacitly left the room.

After that, Mu Chen said, “There are some things that only Jiahui can say to convince Cheng Che. Zhuang Ning, you have to be 120% more careful around Ye Cheng. He’s much more ruthless than you can imagine.”

Zhuang Ning smiled bitterly. “You forget that I’ve experienced his ruthless way before. Don’t worry, I’ll protect myself. I want to live to see his end.” Then, she turned to Song Ning and said, “I disagree with you meeting Director Wang. Yi Garden is an extremely dangerous place now. You can’t take the risk now. It sounds selfish, but none of us can afford to get into any trouble now. If any one of us gets into trouble at this point, it’ll affect the entire plan, do you understand?”

Song Ning looked hesitant, not entirely convinced.

Mu Chen patted Song Ning and said, “Don’t worry. Our people are already in Yi Garden. They’ll keep an eye on Director Wang’s safety.”

Song Ning finally nodded. She understood Zhuang Ning’s words. She could not let her anxiousness affect the plan.

…

At this moment, Yin Yi glared at Ning Dong, who was sitting in front of her. At this moment, she finally realized that she did not know Ning Dong at all. The innocent and inexperienced young man from the past was in fact sinister.

Ning Dong remained unaffected by Yin Yi’s angry gaze. He calmly poured a glass of water before pushing it to Yin Yi and said, “What do you have to say? Speak. From now on, we’ll be living under the same roof. You’ll have to learn how to get along with me.”

Yin Yi said, frustrated, “I didn’t expect you to be such a despicable person.”

Ning Dong looked at her indifferently as he brought a cigarette out. He lit it up and took a puff before exhaling the smoke in Yin Yi’s face.

The faint smell of cigarette smoke made Yin Yi frown in disgust. She raised her hand and fanned it, clearly expressing her displeasure.

Ning Dong said, “We’re a natural pair. I’m despicable and so are you. Don’t you think we’re a perfect match?”

Yin Yi glared at him. “Who are you calling despicable?”

Ning Dong smiled. “Second Young Miss Yin, why are you pretending? There’s a girl named Bai Yu, who’s still paralyzed…”

Yin Yi’s expression changed immediately. Then, she sneered. “What does that have to do with me?”

Ning Dong looked at her, still smiling as he said, “Her father recently caught hold of that Director Li’s weakness. Do you think Director Li will give you up?”
