Ye Ning's lips curled into a cold smile.
It was that old hag! Ye Ning hadn't even gone looking for trouble with her yet! She actually delivered herself to her doorstep looking for a scolding, so don't blame her for being impolite.
Ye Ning waited until the phone rang ten times, guessing that the other end was about to run out of patience, before casually answering it.
"Hello!" came a haughty female voice from the other end of the phone. "Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"
Li Churan's mother, Shangguan Rong, considered herself to be from a noble family and believed that Ye Ning was not good enough for her son, so she always found fault with Ye Ning.
In her past life, Ye Ning always obeyed Shangguan Rong's every word and tried her best to please Li Churan.
However, Shangguan Rong always treated Ye Ning with hostility and repeatedly sowed discord between her and Li Churan by speaking ill of her.
He even deliberately got very close to Lin Mengru in order to humiliate her.
"What is it? Tell me! I'm very busy right now!" Ye Ning said coldly.
Upon hearing that Ye Ning dared to speak to her like that, Shangguan Rong immediately began to escalate the situation.
"Ye Ning, how dare you talk to me like that? And why didn't you answer my calls for so long? I think you did it on purpose. You clearly don't respect me."
"So what if I don't respect you? Should I find an altar to hang you up and offer incense to you on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month?" Ye Ning retorted without any politeness. She was no longer the easily bullied young lady from her previous life.
"You! You! You! How dare you talk to me like that? Have you gone too far?" Guan Rong was so angry on the other end of the phone that he was incoherent.
"What's wrong with talking to you like this? Do you think you're the Queen Mother of the West who needs to be treated with deference all the time!" She had wanted to talk like this for a long time. "What do you want from me? Speak quickly if you have something to say, or I'm hanging up if you don't!"
"That's right, business comes first." Shangguan Rong hesitated for a moment before finally getting to the point, "Ye Ning, I heard you're going to divorce Chu Ran?"
“Absolutely right!” Ye Ning said crisply.
"It's good that you have self-awareness and know that you are not good enough for Chu Ran."
In fact, Ye Ning had serious doubts about whether Shangguan Rong truly believed that anyone was worthy of her outstanding son.
In terms of looks, background, and education, she is excellent in every way.
It's safe to say that during her school days, the line of men who wanted to pursue Ye Ning could stretch all the way to France.
In her past life, Ye Ning was completely obedient to Shangguan Rong, but was always treated coldly. Ye Ning once thought that she hadn't done enough.
Having lived a second life, Ye Ning finally understood that it wasn't that she hadn't done well enough!
It's not so much the old woman's possessiveness and controlling nature towards her son, but rather the fact that she would never be satisfied with any woman marrying Li Churan.
"Back then, you were so persistent in pursuing Chu Ran, you had no sense of propriety whatsoever as a lady of a respectable family. To be honest, I didn't even like you back then. If it weren't for Ye Jingtian's sake, I would never have agreed to let Chu Ran marry you."
"After you married Chu Ran, you neither took care of Chu Ran nor knew how to serve your mother-in-law. Moreover, after all these years, you haven't even laid a child. If it weren't for my magnanimity, I would have made Chu Ran divorce you long ago. Now you actually dare to ask Chu Ran for 1 billion? And Chu Ran actually agreed to it! If you had any sense, you should have left with nothing. That way, I might look at you with more respect!"
The old woman got more and more excited as she talked. No wonder she was in such a hurry; it turned out she was worried about her son's money. It's a shame she always pretended to be an aristocrat and acted like she was above worldly concerns.
"So, according to you, I should thank you?" Ye Ning laughed angrily.
"Leave with nothing? You wish! You think highly of me, but what's your opinion worth? You really think you're some kind of aristocrat."
"You, you, you!" Shangguan Rong was so angry that he could hardly speak, not expecting Ye Ning, who was usually so timid, to speak so sharply today.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Did you have a stroke and can't speak anymore? Right, your brain's full of shit, otherwise how could you say something so mindless!"
"You rude and uncouth woman, no wonder Chu Ran has never liked you. You're all show and no substance." Destroying someone's spirit is Shangguan Rong's forte.
"Excuse me, I really don't need the affection of Li Churan, who's morally corrupt and has cheated on his wife. By the way, Lin Mengru is quite well-mannered. I wonder if you've seen her calling someone 'Big Brother' on her live stream? Should I take a screenshot and post it on my WeChat Moments, tagging everyone?" Just teasing her, did you really think she couldn't do that?
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ning felt a sense of relief throughout her body, and years of pent-up frustration vanished.
She put away her phone and continued packing her things.
Finally, we've arrived at the most important place: the walk-in closet.
Pushing open the door to the walk-in closet, one is greeted by a spacious interior where rows of clothes hang neatly, displaying a dazzling array of elegant garments, categorized by type. From exquisite haute couture gowns to casual everyday wear, even pajamas have their own separate row.
There were also rows of jaw-dropping accessories: sunglasses, scarves, and belts.
The shoes covered an entire wall.
The crystal display case was even more dazzling, filled with all kinds of jewelry, bracelets, bangles, necklaces, brooches, and earrings, each shimmering and vying for attention.
In her past life, Ye Ning was a VIP member of major luxury brands and a frequent visitor to fashion shows.
Ye Ning gently brushed her hand across the space, and the corresponding clothes appeared.
From luxurious furs to evening gowns to matching pajamas.
To be honest, these flashy but impractical clothes are really useless in the apocalypse, but Ye Ning is a woman after all, and she will always like beautiful clothes no matter what.
In the center of the dressing room stands a marble dressing table, which is filled with expensive cosmetics.
