Over the past few months, Zhou Manyun has sought out Chu Yuan countless times.
There were many ways to get her to do it: block her doorstep, have the mall deliver clothes to her door, buy real estate in her name, etc., but Chu Yuan refused them all.
Ning Mochen is rich enough that she doesn't need to accept these things; she's indebted to those who accept her gifts.
Chu Yuan had no desire to get involved with Zhou Manyun, not even to say another word.
Moreover, Zhou Manyun has not abandoned Ning Muwan so far. Even though she knows that Ning Muwan is a fake heiress and that she has meticulously planned a scam to make a fool of everyone, she has not done anything to her. She even allows Ning Muwan to continue to freely enter and leave the hospital and the Ning family.
Taking advantage of the fact that the old man is lying in the hospital bed and unable to do anything, they want this daughter and can't bear to part with that daughter. What a shameless thing to do!
However, Chu Yuan learned from Ning Mochen that the old man had changed his will, dividing all of Ning's assets into three parts: 50% for Ning Mochen, 30% for Chu Yuan, and 20% for Zhou Manyun, with no share for Ning Muwan.
Perhaps it's because she was disheartened that she didn't repent for her mistakes and only cared about her own well-being.
In the end, the old man realized his own heart was clear: neither blood relatives nor those he raised were important; character was the most important thing.
During this time he was ill, Ning Mochen couldn't bear to see him like this, so he continued to take care of Ning's affairs. Otherwise, would Zhou Manyun have had the time to curry favor with Chu Yuan?
These were all minor matters, insignificant to Chu Yuan, and she had no interest in the Ning family.
But for Ning Muwan, it was like a bolt from the blue!
So once she had fully recovered, she went to the prison immediately and brought her lawyer to visit her.
—Her old flame, Xiao Shuo.
Xiao Shuo sat in the interrogation chair. He was not yet thirty years old, but he looked old and dejected. He was bald, with a bluish scalp, and his disheveled appearance was a far cry from his former elegance and charm.
A hint of disgust flashed in Ning Muwan's eyes. To think that she had slept with someone like that was truly disgusting.
Xiao Shuo stared intently at Ning Muwan, his shock evident in his eyes.
Although he had known for months that Ning Muwan had come back to life.
Even in prison, they often watched the news. Ning Muwan's return to the Ning family was news comparable to an earthquake for the Ning Group.
There was also the fact that her nominal ex-husband, Ning Mochen, had secretly married a popular young actress in the entertainment industry. At that moment, he felt nothing but hatred.
I hate these rich people; they have absolute power and can send others to hell at will.
They were the ones who made the most mistakes, yet while he was sent to prison to suffer, they were still living a carefree life outside.
At this moment, seeing Ning Muwan, the one who had caused her this, Xiao Shuo was overcome with emotion. After shouting, she jumped up, "Ning Muwan, you're still alive?!"
He slammed his hand, along with the handcuffs, onto the table with unusual ferocity.
He chuckled strangely, "Good! It's really quite good!"
Do you know that everyone thought you were dead, so your grandfather sent me here?
You didn't die at all!
While you were enjoying your carefree life outside all these years, did you ever think about what kind of life I was living?
How dare you show your face in front of me! Get out!
Ning Muwan remained unusually calm in the face of Xiao Shuo's hysteria.
It was as if she had anticipated his reaction.
After venting for a full five minutes, he calmly told the lawyer, "You can go out first, I'll talk to him."
The lawyer, having received an exorbitant court fee from Ning Muwan, obediently left upon hearing this.
Xiao Shuo's furious expression paused for a moment, then he looked at the lawyer's retreating figure with a hint of pleading. "What do you mean? Why did you bring a lawyer?"
His gaze returned to Ning Muwan's face; after four years, she seemed to have aged considerably.
Those alluring eyes that had captivated him now had fine lines at the corners.
Xiao Shuo scoffed. It must be because he had been missing for so long that the Ning family had already been overrun by someone else.
In the end, she wasn't much better than me!
Ning Muwan crossed her arms and leaned back in a relaxed posture. "Xiao Shuo, why did I bring a lawyer to see you? The answer is so obvious, can't you see it?"
Let me be frank with you, I can clear your name of all those fabricated charges that Grandpa framed you for, so you can get out of here very soon.
But hiring a lawyer is very expensive, especially one who guarantees a win.
For the sake of our past marriage, I won't hold it against you.
All I need is for you to promise me that you'll do one thing for me after we get out, okay?
go out?
For Xiao Shuo now, even hearing those two words is a luxury.
His sentence is neither short nor long, more than ten years, but he is now thirty years old. If he obediently waits to finish his sentence and get out, he will have lived half his life. What future can he expect?
Therefore, he dreamed of getting out as soon as possible!
But he also knew Ning Muwan very well. This woman was not as harmless as she appeared on the surface. On the contrary, she was scheming and had many secrets.
During his four years in prison, he recalled countless times the details of how the two of them got together. Although he couldn't fully analyze her intentions, he understood that her so-called love was more potent than poison!
Do you think I can still trust you?
"Ning Muwan, I've become like this because of you. You're so kind as to help me clear my name?" Xiao Shuo shouted hoarsely, but his hands were clenched tightly on his knees.
He was testing and provoking Ning Muwan; when someone is too calm, many abnormal emotions will be hidden.
Ning Muwan's current demeanor as a complete leader made Xiao Shuo uneasy and also displeased.
What makes her so special?! This heartless woman who plays with people's feelings!
