Chapter 1260 - The Changes in Ning Yuya (2/2)

“My mother said that you’re returning to Harbor City, so I decided to come and see you,” said Ning Yuya, who had heavy and smoky makeup on her face. She looked much thinner than she was when she first returned from abroad. She looked absolutely like a degenerate.

A look of disdain formed in Xia Ruya’s eyes, though she still smiled radiantly. “You look like you’ve lost a lot of weight. Are you stressed out by your academics?”

When she met Ning Shuqian previously, the latter had informed her about Ning Yuya’s strange behavior, thus catching her attention. She then secretly checked up on Ning Yuya, only to discover that Ning Yuya had developed a drug addiction when she was abroad. Even after returning to Capital City, Ning Yuya still did not kick her addiction. However, Ning Shuqian dared not send Ning Yuya for rehab, for fear that she would experience what Shen Mengting had gone through at the rehab center back then. Hence, there was no way Ning Yuya could kick her addiction anymore at this point.

Worse still, Ning Yuya even frequented bars, nightclubs and sordid places where she often hooked up with all sorts of men. Her private life was messy and lewd.

Xia Ruya did not wish to be acquainted with such a degenerate at all. However, she had no choice but to bear with it since she still had to make use of Ning Shuqian.

Ning Yuya’s face stiffened, though she soon returned to normal. “Yeah, my mother has arranged for me to attend some jewelry design tuition lately and I can’t seem to cope.”

Her drug addiction had taken a toll on her health and impacted her vitality. It also robbed her of her youth and beauty, causing her to look horrendous. She dared not even see her own bare face and would go to sleep with heavy makeup on her face every night.

Xia Ruya held onto her hand and said concernedly, “Learning may be important, but you also have to take care of your health. Practice good skincare techniques and eat more nutritious food to nourish your body.”

Xia Ruya instantly got the goosebumps when she held onto Ning Yuya’s bony hand. She let go of it and turned around to grab the cup of water on the table.

Ning Yuya smiled and changed the subject. “Ruya, I thought you’d be staying in Capital city until you graduate. Yet, you’re leaving again so soon. Who knows when we might get to meet again?”

Ning Yuya was rather disappointed, for she was quite reluctant to see Xia Ruya go.

The mention of it made a look of dejection form on Xia Ruya’s face. “I thought that that would be the case too, but who knew…”

She could not bring herself to continue. She turned pale and hung her head low.

Ning Yuya naturally knew about what happened recently. She held onto Xia Ruya’s hand and comforted her. “Ruya, don’t be too upset. I know Wen Xinya was the one who set you up this time. I’ll trust you and stand on your side even if the whole world turns against you.”

Ning Yuya gritted her teeth angrily at the thought of Wen Xinya, as a look of resentment formed in her eyes. If it weren’t because of Wen Xinya, she wouldn’t have been in such a pathetic plight today.

Sobbing, Xia Ruya said, “Yuya, thank you! You may visit me in Harbor City if there’s a chance for you to do so in the future. It’s not too far away from here, anyway.”

However, Xia Ruya was just being courteous and she actually was not sincere in inviting her for a visit at all.
