Chapter 997: I Like You Very Much (1/2)

Yan Sinian watched her leave without trying to stop her.

He recalled the steely determination in her eyes and the obvious relief she felt when he spoiled her plan and chuckled to himself. “She’s so absurd.”

Nevertheless, he was puzzled by the whole affair.

What happened between Mo Ning and the Huo family that led to her intention to kill Lu Zhaoyang even though she liked the woman?

Should he investigate Mo Ning’s background further?

However, he might risk alerting the Huo family if he was not discreet enough.

Things could get very complicated.

Yan Sinian sat on a long bench in the garden, lit a cigarette, and inhaled deeply.

What a troublesome little demon.

Oblivious to Yan Sinian’s ponderings, Mo Ning returned to the dinner hall not realising that Lu Zhaoyang was there. Hence, she invited Huo Run for a dance again.

As they were dancing, she noticed that Jiang Xiuyuan was also present. He had his arm around a gorgeous lady and smiled courteously as he conversed with the other guests in an elegant fashion.

Jiang Xiuyuan noticed her gaze and greeted her with a gentle smile.

Mo Ning found that she was looking at someone very similar to herself.

“What are you looking at?” Huo Run asked curiously.

Mo Ning lowered her head closer to Huo Run and replied mildly, “Jiang Xiuyuan is not a simple man, is he?”

Huo Run looked at her in surprise and asked, “How do you know?”

Seeing the mischievous smile on Mo Ning’s face, she chuckled and whispered by way of reply, “I know he behaves just like any other student back on campus, but that is all an act. The Jiang family is the largest force behind all illegal dealings in Z Country. Jiang Xiuyuan is only twenty-two, but he has taken over as the head of the family. That is why he is rarely seen on campus.”

As I suspected.

Mo Ning tilted her head in comprehension.

“Ning…” Huo Run cried abruptly.

“Yea?”
