CHAPTER 652: CHAPTER 140 WHEN THE GENTLEMAN WAS YOUNG, HE WAS VERY HANDSOME

The color drained from Ning Yan’er’s face; any astute person could sense that Song Qiao was already hinting them to leave.

Her visit today wasn’t for anyone in particular; she solely wanted to know the whereabouts of Ning Wan.

Because of Ning Wan, her relationship with Xi Mohan had gradually been changing, though others were oblivious, even she felt somewhat bewildered on how things progressed to this stage.

Since her teenage years, she knew that Ning Wan liked Xi Mohan. Yet, for Xi Mohan, this man posed a great challenge to her, because she too harbored affection for him. Prideful as always, she never took the initiative to lower her stance with a man, thus she never proactively confessed her intense love to Xi Mohan.

In the past, she believed that Xi Mohan would choose to be with Ning Wan. She had prepared herself to marry someone else if Xi Mohan truly ended up with Ning Wan. But unexpectedly, Xi Mohan’s true affection was for her, Ning Yan’er.

Even she hadn’t anticipated when Xi Mohan organized a grand romantic confession event, which everyone initially thought was directed towards Ning Wan. Later, to her surprise, she became the heroine of his confessions.

Now, having been together for four years, she found herself increasingly ready to invest everything into this man, including her heart.

Before Ning Yan’er could speak, the girl next to her abruptly stood up, her eyes brimming with fury as though she wanted to devour Song Qiao alive, and said in a loud, shrill voice, "What do you mean by that? My cousin just wants to find out where that woman Ning Wan is, can’t you be careful with your words?"

After saying that, she paused, sizing up Song Qiao from head to toe with disdain apparent in her eyes and spoke through clenched teeth, "And was there anything wrong with what I just said? You’re not as good as Yuqing sister anyway, whether in looks, status, or family background. There must be some reason that Jingchen married you. How could he possibly love you?"

In her heart, Jingchen and Yuqing were the true couple, how could he fall in love with another woman?

Upon hearing her words, Song Qiao momentarily froze, then directly placed her cup on the table. A slight smile always remained on her face, unreadable to the underlying emotions, and with a light raise of her brows, she chuckled, "You keep saying that your family’s Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing are a pair, then why don’t you ask Lu Jingchen to divorce me?"

"You."

"Su Ruran, enough!" The expression on Ning Yan’er was not pleasant. This time she didn’t spare her cousin any face, directly calling out her name sternly, her voice a few degrees lower, "Don’t you forget what you promised me when you came with me today. What are you causing now? Song Qiao is currently Mrs. Lu, even Yuqing hasn’t said anything, who allowed you to talk to her like that?"

The expression on Su Ruran’s face changed, slightly lost in deciphering it. Wanting to retort but being silenced by Ning Yan’er’s sharp and displeased look, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. Although appearing reluctant, she obediently sat down, her head bowed and lips lightly pursed, as though she faced a great injustice.

Song Qiao maintained a light smile throughout, completely nonchalant as if the situation did not concern her, even though the feud between the cousins was about her.

Having heard Ning Yan’er calling out her cousin’s name earlier, Song Qiao remembered why she felt a sense of familiarity when she first saw her. Su Ruran had been exposed by the paparazzi before, but not for anything commendable.

If Song Qiao remembered correctly, the reason Su Ruran was dug up by the paparazzi was that she verbally abused and orchestrated a beating for a girl from an ordinary family at school, and even — if her memory served well, the main reason it was widely reported by the paparazzi was because Su Ruran’s crush liked the girl, and then she wanted to ruin the girl completely.

Back then, she was preoccupied with her grandfather’s affairs and didn’t pay much attention to the news; it was Ning Wan who told her about it.

Unexpectedly, this Su Ruran turned out to be Ning Yan’er’s cousin.
