Lin Huier was secretly anxious and sniffed her red nose.
“Miss Ning, Ah Xuan is seriously ill in the hospital... He simply can't come. If you really want to repay him, please stop making excuses.”
At this point, she burst into tears again.
“He has nothing left but me now. You’re divorced from him, and since the relationship is over, keeping these entanglements will only be a burden for you. The gentlemen who are pursuing you probably don’t want you to be entangled with Ah-Xuan anymore.”
She wiped away her tears, looking pitiful and vulnerable.
“Miss Ning, Ah Xuan is too embarrassed to speak up, so I had to do it myself. I'm also very embarrassed... but I thought it was for your own good, to avoid causing trouble for your new relationship. Sister Ning, I'm doing this for your own good!”
Ning Lang smiled, her eyes curving like peas.
She hadn't misjudged this woman; she was indeed extremely cunning and could outmaneuver a powerful figure when she played the innocent victim.
They were clearly there to ask for favors, but their reasons were high-sounding. They not only accused her of doing things for Sheng Xuan's sake but also for her future, with each point linked to the next. They even brought up their friendship as a trump card in the end.
Ning Lang nodded. "Thank you so much for thinking of me. I'm truly grateful. However, the old house is jointly owned by both of us. Whether we want to sell it or divide it up, Sheng Xuan and I need to discuss it clearly, both morally and legally, right?"
Forehead?
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lin Huier's eyes, but she quickly forced a smile.
"So... you still agree, right?"
“No, that’s not right.” Ning Lang wasn’t fooled by her and smiled: “Besides discussing it with him, I also need to discuss it with my family, and finally I have to discuss it with my lawyer.”
Lin Huier: "..." The more I talk about it, the more troublesome it gets. This woman is such a hassle!
She lowered her eyes and looked at Ning Lang's slender, fair hands.
"What about the 'Purple Cloud Sea' wedding ring? You're both divorced now, so the wedding ring has no meaning. You certainly wouldn't wear your old wedding ring to welcome a new life partner, would you?"
Ning Lang smiled calmly and shook his head gently.
"Of course not. The wedding rings are a pair. I gave them to him, and since he didn't return them, I can't return them to him either. Back then, it was a matter of reciprocity; he gave me a gift, and I gave him one. It's the same principle now. If he returns it, I'll return it."
Lin Huier looked rather embarrassed.
"I don't even know where he threw the things you gave him away."
Ning Lang's mood remained completely unaffected, her voice soft and calm.
He knew, he just didn't tell you.
Lin Huier's face turned pale and then red, and she gritted her teeth inwardly.
"No... Ah-Xuan respects me a lot and wouldn't hide anything from me. I know everything about him perfectly well; he really can't find what he's lost. You don't understand Ah-Xuan. He comes from a noble family, and ordinary things are beneath his notice; he'll just kick them aside."
A glint of light flashed in Ning Lang's beady eyes, and she smiled slightly.
"It seems you don't know him as well as you say. Actually, since the day we got married, he has worn the wedding ring I gave him around his neck and it hangs down his chest."
Lin Huier was stunned.
That day, when he was changing clothes, a small black rope was sticking out from around his neck...
Ning Lang stroked his ring finger, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"That wedding ring was a masterpiece made by the court jeweler more than 800 years ago. The ring face is a small piece of rare imperial green that is dazzlingly bright. As early as 60 years ago, someone offered 80 million to buy that ring from my great-grandfather. The old man's retirement pension was barely enough to live on, so he declined."
Lin Huier was dumbfounded!
Eighty million sixty years ago—now you should at least add a zero to the end!
Ning Lang leisurely enjoyed her embarrassment and asked with a smile, "Miss Lin, do you think that thing is too ordinary? You must have worn more expensive jewelry before, right? Hmm?"
