Chapter 729 - 729 Mastermind (2/2)
She turned and looked at Ning Yuya who was already deeply asleep, walked to the window, and picked up the call. “Hello… who’s it?”
“It’s me!”
The monotonous voice suddenly rang by her ear. Ning Shuqian widened her eyes as her body stiffened, instinctively pressing the phone to her ear. “Is… is it you?”
“Yup! It’s me!” The person on the other side of the phone repeated.
Ning Shuqian was slightly in disbelief. Strong emotions gushed to her brain, her body started trembling incessantly, and she said with an insuppressible shake in her voice, “You… you haven’t been contacting me… why did you suddenly appear again?”
As she was too worked up and shocked, her mind was in a blur and she stuttered.
“I have to appear. Otherwise, you’re going to be chased out of the Wen Family. We’ve been cooperating and you’ve done quite a bit for me. Now, I can’t just watch as you fall like this!” The other party’s voice was cold with a tinge of arrogance.
Ning Shuqian’s heart throbbed violently uncontrollably, her mind also cleared up, and she asked agitatedly, “You have a way to help me? So that Wen Haowen won’t divorce me?”
“But of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be calling you.”
Ning Shuqian felt a tinge of joy as a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her helpless heart. However, she didn’t lose herself in the sudden joy as she couldn’t help but ask, “You… didn’t Wen Xinya say that she’d already exterminated your powers?”
“Hmph! That stinky imp wants to exterminate me—fat hope.”
Ning Shuqian was slightly worried and couldn’t help but ask anxiously, “Then… what exactly happened in the Black Sunday incident?”
Previously, the other party had suddenly broken off contact with her. Now that he suddenly appeared again, she felt slightly surreal. Thus, it was hard to feel at ease without making things clear.
“Don’t ask things that you shouldn’t—it won’t do you any good. Now, you’re already at a dead end. Besides me, no one else can help you. Unless you want to revert to your original form and live a filthy and poor life.” The other party’s voice suddenly turned sharp, the robotic voice not managing to hide the strong warning tone within it.
Ning Shuqian didn’t dare to disagree as she hurriedly said, “Sorry. If you’re willing to help me, I can do anything for you!”
This was the outcome that the other party wanted. “Now, there’s only one path that you can take…”
Ning Shuqian held onto the phone tightly. As she listened to the way the other party told her in the cold, robotic voice, she felt chilly in her heart. She said with a pitiful voice, “Is this the only way? Can’t we use some other way…”
The other party snorted in contempt. “At such a stage, haven’t you seen Wen Haowen’s true colors? Do you still have feelings for him? Still have hope? Don’t be silly… not long ago, Wen Haowen was still taking on two young and beautiful hostesses at the same time at Jiayuan Club—he has already forgotten about you! Even the media reported it.”
Ning Shuqian’s breathing suddenly hastened as her pupils constricted incessantly. She asked while gritting her teeth, “That time… the media reported the truth?”
She didn’t expect that Wen Haowen had already cheated on her and betrayed their marriage.
The hatred in her heart consumed her whole.
The other party couldn’t be bothered to discuss the matters between her and Wen Haowen. He said with an icy-cold voice, “It’s just a yes or a no.”
Ning Shuqian couldn’t help but straighten up as she gazed at her daughter who was sleeping peacefully on the bed—who would have known that ten minutes ago, she was still sobbing hysterically and shrieking agitatedly. Then, she thought about Wen Haowen’s ruthlessness and heartlessness towards her previously and said, “Okay! We’ll do as you say!”
Upon hanging up, she sat on the sofa in a daze. She didn’t expect that Wen Haowen had already betrayed her… just like how he betrayed Mo Yunyao then.
Wen Haowen, tit for tat!
