Listening to Yan Keyi's conversation, Jiang Ning just stared at her blankly without making any reaction.

The calmer Jiang Ning's reaction was, the more frightened Yan Keyi became. She would rather Jiang Ning's emotions were written all over his face, and if he was unhappy or angry, he could just tell her directly, or even beat her up; she would accept that.

But Yan Keyi just couldn't accept Jiang Ning's cold treatment of her.

"Sister, please don't ignore me. I really know I was wrong."

Jiang Ning still ignored her. Yan Keyi tried calling her again, but still received no response, which made Yan Keyi even more frightened.

But besides fear, what made Yan Keyi even more uneasy was Jiang Ning's current state, which seemed very strange.

She was less worried about being abandoned and more afraid that something might happen to Jiang Ning.

Yan Keyi tried to talk to Jiang Ning a lot more, but Jiang Ning didn't respond at all. He just stared at her blankly, which made Yan Keyi even more flustered.

After much deliberation, Yan Keyi decided to call Yang Xingsui. She knew that Yang Xingsui was Jiang Ning's longest-standing friend, and she hoped to find out something from him.

"Xiao Yan? Why did you suddenly call me? Aren't you with Xiao Ning?"

Occasionally, when Jiang Ning calls, he can hear a little bit of Yan Keyi's voice. Although the two have each other's contact information, they have never contacted each other privately.

It's quite rare for Yan Keyi to come to him alone like this.

"Brother Yang, I want to ask you something about my sister. I wonder if you know anything about it."

When Yang Xingsui heard that Yan Keyi wanted to ask about something related to Jiang Ning, he agreed.

However, after hearing that something was wrong with Jiang Ning, Yang Xingsui remained silent for a while.

"Brother Yang, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Yang Xingsui remained silent only deepened Yan Keyi's suspicion that there must be something else going on with Jiang Ning, which made her even more worried.

"Are you sure you want to hear this? This past may not be a particularly happy one for Xiaoning. And I'm not sure if she herself would be willing to let me tell you about this."

To some extent, Yang Xingsui understands Jiang Ning quite well. Since she herself didn't tell Yan Keyi, it means she probably doesn't really want to tell her, or rather, she doesn't really want to tell her at this stage.

He felt he wasn't qualified to make that decision for Jiang Ning.

However, if Jiang Ning is in his current state, Yan Keyi will be able to better soothe his emotions only after she knows what happened.

After all, he hadn't seen Jiang Ning fall ill for a long time, and he hadn't seen Jiang Ning in person yet, so he couldn't confirm her condition. Therefore, only Yan Keyi could complete this task.

After much deliberation and receiving Yan Keyi's affirmative reply, Yang Xingsui finally spoke up about the matter.

Back then, Jiang Ning and Qin Yiran were the only two girls in their circle. There were others from less privileged backgrounds, but they weren't the closest to them.

People like them may seem to have been born into a wealthy family, but in reality, many things are beyond their control.

At least when it comes to marriage, the vast majority of people, especially girls, are essentially used as tools for family alliances. At least, that's the case for most girls in their circle.

But Jiang Ning didn't think that way. She was excellent, and had been excellent since childhood. Moreover, Jiang Hong and Zhu Yiyun had never put any pressure on her in this regard, so she could develop freely in the direction she wanted to grow.

But others don't see her that way. They only see that Jiang Ning gets along well with them, and that she'll just marry one of them as a foil. She's excellent, but that's based on her dependence on a certain man.

But Jiang Ning is a free bird; how could she possibly accept such a thing?

Perhaps it was because of these rumors that Jiang Ning disliked men.

Although Jiang Ning told her that she had always liked girls but only realized it later, Yang Xingsui always felt that it might also be related to this matter.

Later, in college, Jiang Ning met a girl she liked, and who liked her too. After spending some time together, Jiang Ning and she got together.

Jiang Ning gave her everything she could, and the two of them always got along very well.

It was only after Jiang Ning's relationship with a girl was exposed to Jiang Hong and Zhu Yiyun that things changed.

Although Zhu Yiyun couldn't quite accept that Jiang Ning liked a girl, she really loved Jiang Ning. However, after Jiang Hong discovered that the girl who was close to Jiang Ning was not a kind person, Zhu Yiyun began to have the idea of ​​breaking them up.

But Jiang Ning had finally met someone who liked her simply because she was her, not because of her status as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Given the repeated obstruction from her family, she was naturally unwilling to separate from him.

Even worse, some people cut off all contact with their families in a fit of anger.

Zhu Yiyun, seeing that her daughter was still stubborn and somewhat temperamental at the time, and also because she didn't want Jiang Ning to like a girl in the first place, simply stopped interfering. The two sides had a complete falling out, and the Jiang family cut off all of Jiang Ning's living expenses.

But after learning that Jiang Ning was broke, that person began to ridicule him relentlessly.
