Chapter 158: Apparently Forced To Be A Mistress

At the same time, Ning Qirui who had no idea he had escaped from death was lying on the bed of a first-class ward was contemplating his life solemnly.

Ning Siyuan had cleared the room after Su Yayan left and asked about Ning Qirui’s feud with Su Yayan.

Naturally, Ning Qirui had nothing much to say about it since there was nothing that really happened between him and Su Yayan since the person that truly had something that was against Su Yayan was Wen Jingping.

In the beginning, Ning Qirui was not willing to disclose anything, until he was cornered and out of desperation, he had blurted out about Wen Jingping.

Ning Siyuan had heard of Wen Jingping, so he continued his grueling talk about her with his brother.

Ning Qirui was a young lad with limited life experiences — which was no match for his brother so it did not take long for Ning Qirui to be honest since he was cornered and defeated.

“So you’re telling me, that you’re fighting with Ms. Su because of this Wen Jingping? Oh, no, that’s not called fighting, it should be called ‘you, on your own accord running towards her in a chicken dance, but she didn’t even bother to give you a reaction.’”

Ning Qirui’s face was burning with shame. He was embarrassed and furious as he snapped, “Bro!”

“No use calling me bro. Tell me honestly, what exactly did she tell you?”

“She… She said she and Huo Shaofeng had liked each other and had confessed their feelings to each other before he was engaged to Ms. Su. Mr. and Mrs. Huo were against this relationship since she came from a poor family and she would never be good enough for Huo Shaofeng so they went ahead and asked for Ms. Su’s hand in marriage without Huo Shaofeng’s permission. After he knew about what his parents had done, he wanted to call off the engagement, but Ms. Su had already caught feelings for him. Not only was she unwilling to give them her blessings, but she also claimed to be Huo Shaofeng’s officially recognized partner, went to their institute, and sought trouble with Wen Jingping.”

Ning Siyuan’s expression darkened as he scoffed. “So what she means is, both she and Huo Shaofeng liked each other, and Ms. Su’s the third party in their relationship. Due to the engagement set up by the families of both parties, Ms. Su became Huo Shaofeng’s fiancée, so she was forced to become a mistress?”

Ning Qirui stole a glance at his brother and remained silent.

Ning Siyuan took a deep breath and continued, “How did she explain to you the whole fiasco about Huo Shaofeng bringing Ms. Su before her parents and publicly called off the engagement?”

“She said that Huo Shaofeng had brought up several times about calling off the engagement to his parents and the Su’s, but to no avail. His parents threatened him that if he were to mention calling off the engagement once more, they were going to lock him up in his room till he and Ms. Su were married. He and Wen Jingping had no other way but to do the ugliest thing by exposing the entire thing at the party to force the Su’s to agree with the calling off the engagement.”

“You actually believe this kind of bullsh*t?!” Ning Siyuan exploded, he could not hold in his rage. He huffed. “If you believe everything she tells you, do you actually have a brain?! When you left home all those years ago, how many times have I told you? Whatever you see may not be the truth, and whatever you hear may not be true as well. You’ve gotta discern, you’ve gotta have it checked out, and not being wrapped around her little finger with a mere few words!”

Ning Qirui tucked his head into his neck timidly after all the yelling from his brother, and murmured indignantly, “How would you even know that what she said was fake, bro?”

“I just do!” Ning Siyuan glared fiercely at him. “Let’s not talk about if Ms. Su actually has feelings for Huo Shaofeng. Your very first sentence is flawed on its own. This Ms. Wen had only met Huo Shaofeng when she was looking for an internship, and two months later — which is about two months before today, they got together. The engagement between the Su’s and Huo’s was confirmed half a year ago. Is this what you truly mean by them getting together before he was engaged?”
