basement.
Chi Yan led Mu Xiaocheng to the basement, where Zhou Ningshuang was locked in a room with an iron gate in front of her.
Mu Xiaocheng stood outside the iron fence, looking at the people inside.
Zhou Ningshuang's hair was messy, her makeup was smudged, and she was squatting in the corner.
He looked particularly disheveled.
Upon seeing Mu Xiaocheng, she suddenly gave a sinister smile, stood up, and slowly walked towards Mu Xiaocheng.
"So you finally came."
She had a smile in her eyes, seemingly quite pleased with Mu Xiaocheng's behavior.
Mu Xiaocheng turned her gaze to Chi Yan behind her and said, "Find me a chair, and some melon seeds and nuts. I want to hear what kind of stories this woman can come up with today."
Chi Yan: "..."
You've got quite a few requirements, huh?
Even at this point, you're still thinking about eating.
Although Chi Yan was somewhat surprised by Mu Xiaocheng's reaction, she resigned herself to her fate and went to prepare things.
Soon, a chair, sunflower seeds, and nuts were brought to Mu Xiaocheng.
Mu Xiaocheng sat in the chair, casually picked up a sunflower seed, took a bite, and said lazily, "Go ahead and say it."
Although Ji Huaishen had already said that Zhou Ningshuang knew the real cause of her mother's death.
But she just couldn't stand Zhou Ningshuang's appearance.
Arrogant and smug, as if he knows everything.
That spoiled brat attitude of hers is disgusting.
Zhou Ningshuang was surprised that she wasn't in a hurry at all, looking quite relaxed, and even started eating sunflower seeds.
She gave a wry smile, leaned against the fence, and said, "What do you want me to say? Is it Zhou Ningyi, or the cause of your mother's death, or... are you more interested in me?"
Mu Xiaocheng spat out the sunflower seed shells and took a sip of her drink to soothe her throat.
Then, he took the information he had found from Shang Qi.
He casually flipped through the pages and said leisurely, "I wasn't interested in your affairs before, but after seeing this, I'm a tiny bit curious."
As she spoke, Mu Xiaocheng turned to the first page of the document and slowly read out its contents.
"Zhou Ningshuang, the second young lady of the Zhou family, fell in love with a man in her college when she was twenty and in college. That man was a top student in the business school, named... Guo Ying. He was handsome, but his family had no power or influence, and even less money."
"Shut up!"
Zhou Ningshuang shouted loudly, interrupting Mu Xiaocheng's words with great emotion.
Guo Ying is the deepest wound in her heart, and she doesn't allow anyone to mention her.
Not a single word.
Mu Xiaocheng wasn't angry; instead, she found it rather amusing.
She shrugged, handed the documents to Shang Qi, and started eating sunflower seeds again.
"Then you should tell me everything properly."
"If you dare to make up a single word, I'll show you that even a little girl like you isn't to be trifled with."
Zhou Ningshuang was startled by Mu Xiaocheng's words.
Has she already found out...?
Now that they have leverage over her, they certainly don't dare to mess with her.
Zhou Ningshuang pursed her dry lips and leaned wearily against the wall.
"Then let's talk about your mother first."
"Twenty-three years ago, she returned to the Meng family once while heavily pregnant. She originally went back secretly to see Old Master Meng and never intended to stay at home."
"But after returning, Zhou Ningyi happened to run into him."
“At the time, Zhou Ningyi couldn’t have children, and she was worried that Meng Qingning’s unborn child would affect her status in the Meng family. So, she came to me.”
"She told me about your mother and your existence. She asked me to help her find a way to get rid of you in your mother's womb."
