Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shangguan Ning didn’t have good relations with anyone in Family Xie so she turned her down politely, “I am sorry, I don’t have the time to meet.”

Wang Lu started pleading on the phone. “Ning, please meet me, I am begging you. I just want to apologize to you face to face, and talk with you. It won’t take much of your time!”

Shangguan Ning would have agreed had it been four years ago, but after being so badly hurt and tricked by them, Shangguan Ning had become iron-hearted.

What she received as payback from the family all those years ago, was just a plane ticket and a sentence –”our son doesn’t need you anymore!”

“Laws and prisons would not be needed if apology worked! Just concentrate on your lovely daughter-in-law. I am busy and can’t talk right now, goodbye!”

Shangguan Ning hung up the phone after uttering these words.

Suddenly, she was engulfed by a pair of warm arms. A familiar voice spoke from behind her. “Well done, that is exactly how you should behave. My wife is not free to meet any and everybody.”

“You heard my conversation?” Shangguan Ning sounded calm but slightly upset.

Jing Yichen turned her around to face him. He held her palm-sized face in his hands and said, “You are not allowed to get upset because of their calls.”

He had not told Shangguan Ning that Xie Zhuojun was dying. Would she burst into tears upon hearing that, when she already had such a sad expression on her face right now?

The thought annoyed Jing Yichen.

Shangguan Ning burst into laughter. She slipped her hands around his waist and smiled. “I am not upset on their behalf. I am just disappointed that people are always so tricky. They only think of me when I can be of some use to them. At that time, they speak in such a polite way and when I am of no use, they just want me to disappear from the earth as soon as possible. Am I that stupid to live under their shadow forever and to be manipulated by them all the time?”

She was living a stable and happy life because of the man in front of her. He cared for her and, she had started to shine brightly once again and find her true self. She wanted to give her everything to the relationship between them and enjoy their cozy, romantic life. She didn’t want anyone to ruin that.

Therefore, she was not going to meet Wang Lu, no matter what reasons and excuses she put forward. She didn’t want to have any association with her.

“No one is worth my tears except you.” Shangguan Ning leaned her head into his arms after she said the words calmly.

Hearing her explain the reason for her being upset, Jing Yichen finally smiled.

It was a pleasant evening. Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen ate dinner, changed and went for a stroll alongside the sea, hand in hand. They talked and laughed, walking happily. All of a sudden, a woman popped up from behind the flower shrubs and stood in their way.

Jing Yichen subconsciously stopped in front of Shangguan Ning and was about to kick away the woman out of instinct when Shangguan Ning stopped him. “Don’t, Yichen!”

Jing Yichen withdrew his leg and watched the woman gradually getting down to her knees.

Jing Yichen had a terrible expression on his face.

The lovely time which he had been enjoying with his wife was ruined by this woman.

Now she was kneeling down. Did he look like someone whose heart would melt because of her actions?

He held Shangguan Ning’s hand trying to leave, but Shangguan Ning didn’t move. She came ahead of Jing Yichen and looked at the woman sitting on knees.

It was Wang Lu, Xie Zhuojun’s mother who had stopped them.

In a calm voice, she said, “Mrs. Xie, your son and your daughter-in-law used this method, four years ago. This doesn’t work on me any more.”

Hearing what Shangguan Ning said, she still stayed where she was. She would do anything for her son.

“Ning, I know that it was Zhuojun who betrayed you. But love is not something which can be forced. Besides, he is already being punished. So please, forgive him and save him. I am begging you to please help him.”

Wang Lu sounded sorrowful and she had put herself in a very demeaning position. She looked exactly like a woman who was cornered and had no way out.

But Shangguan Ning wasn’t moved. She asked in bewilderment, “What do you mean? What is wrong with your son?”

Wang Lu was a very smart woman. Judging from Shangguan Ning’s expressions, she knew that Ning wasn’t pretending when she asked about her son.

That basically meant that it was Jing Yichen, the most powerful man in A City and the one who had defended her just now, who had driven Family Xie to the cliff.

She spoke to Jing Yichen amidst tears, “Master Jing, please help my son. His treatment can not be delayed any further. Please speak with Head Mu and ask him to operate upon my son. I can pay you whatever you want. Ning knows exactly what happened years ago. My son is also a victim in this case. He is a good child, and it was Shangguan Rouxue who had lied to him because of which he did something stupid.”

Before Jing Yichen could say anything, Shangguan Ning told her coldly, “Mrs. Xie,speak with me on this matter. Leave my husband out of this. If you still haven’t understood what happened years ago, please go home and ask your son rather than telling a fake story here. If your son had been muddle-headed back then, then were you also the same, to give me a plane ticket and send me abroad?”

Shangguan Ning didn’t know what Wang Lu was talking about, but she didn’t want to get Jing Yichen to be involved in the loathed matter between her and Xie Zhuojun. He didn’t have anything to do with it.

Wang Lu was stuck. She didn’t know what to say. “I...”

“Yes, it was I who forbid Family Mu to operate upon your son. If you continue to stay here on knees, your son will not even see tomorrow’s sunrise before he turns into a vegetative man!” Jing Yichen said ruthlessly.

He looked at Wang Lu as if he were staring at a dead woman. No one had ever dared to block his way.

Shangguan Ning was startled. She gave him a surprised look. What did he mean?

Operation? Vegetative man? What was wrong with Xie Zhuojun?

Having said those words, Jing Yichen held Shangguan Ning’s arms and strode away.

Wang Lu was about to run behind them them when two tall, strong men dressed in black came swiftly and knocked her out. Then they dragged her as if they were dragging a piece of dirty rag and stuffed her into a car before disappearing in darkness.

Shangguan Ning was quiet on the way home.

Jing Yichen glanced at his wife’s expressionless face. He realised that she hadn’t shown any doubt or disbelief, but had held his hand and walked home serenely.

“Why aren’t you asking me anything?” Jing Yichen pulled her shoulders and took her into his arms.

Shangguan Ning looked at him and said softly, “You would tell me when you want to. I am not worried about anything that you do.”

“Even if I make Xie Zhuojun die?”
