It must be said, if not for her deliberate guidance, Bai Ran’s fate shouldn’t have been like this.
For her own selfish desires, she pushed Bai Ran into the fire pit. It can’t be said who was right or wrong, after all, it was Bai Ran’s own choice.
Yun Ya made a call to Bai Ran.
"Aunt Bai, where are you?"
Bai Ran’s tone was nasal, was she having a cold or had she just cried?
"I’m at my brother’s place, what’s up?"
"Nothing much, I was just worried since you didn’t co ho last night. I thought sothing might have happened to you."
Bai Ran tucked her head under the covers, her voice muffled, "What could happen to ? You’d better spend your ti caring for yourself, Yun Shu is an old witch and not to be taken lightly."
Yun Ya chuckled, "Oh her, she’s the least of my concerns."
Bai Ran was amused by her tone, "Don’t take it lightly, Yun Shu is like an old witch perfected, you better be careful."
"If she’s perfected, then I must be a deity. Can a goblin compete with a god? Watch subdue her."
Bai Ran shook her head and chuckled, "You, you’re still a kid when it cos down to it."
Yun Ya changed the subject abruptly, "Aunt Bai, you should divorce Dad."
Bai Ran froze, gripping her phone subconsciously, "What are you talking about, child?"
"I’m not talking nonsense."
Gazing out the window at the rapidly passing scenery, Yun Ya’s voice was as calm as cloud smoke, "Instead of enduring this, you might as well let go early. You can’t gain any more benefits from Yun Shen, and soon, the Yun Family will turn into a fire pit and by then, you won’t be able to jump out even if you want to. It’s ti for you to pursue your own happiness."
Bai Ran asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do..." She lifted her left hand, squinting as the sunlight slipped through her fingers.
"I want to throw them into Hell, one by one."
Such a gentle tone, yet inexplicably chilling to the spine.
"Then I’ll help you."
Yun Ya smiled, "Aunt Bai, you can barely protect yourself, how can you help ? Just be at peace and pursue your own happiness. I don’t want Bai Xi to beco the second ."
The call ended there.
Listening to the busy tone of "beep beep beep" from the phone, Bai Ran’s mind kept echoing Yun Ya’s words.
I don’t want Bai Xi to beco the second ...
But Bai Xi is much happier than she ever was, he has a mother who loves him with her life, but what does Yun Ya have?
Bai Ran lay in bed, looking at the ceiling, her thoughts drifting unconsciously back to that day.
She drove around the city aimlessly, like a ship without a harbor, finally stopping in front of the gates of Jiangzhou University.
She saw a huge banner hanging at the entrance.
Congratulations to Professor Ning Qinglin on his triumphant return to the country, wishing his lecture great success.
Jiangzhou University that day, was livelier than it had ever been.
She parked the car and spent a long ti touching up her makeup in the mirror, looking at the fine lines around her eyes that even high-quality makeup couldn’t hide, she collapsed in tears atop the steering wheel.
After she finished crying, she reapplied her makeup, the delicate application perfectly hiding her haggardness and lancholy.
She told herself internally, just one look, one look will suffice...
When she entered, the grand theater was overflowing with people.
She chose a spot in the very last row to sit.
Soon after, Ning Qinglin appeared in a suit and tie.
He was dressed in a refined grey checked suit. Compared to his youthful greenness, he was now the epito of mature stability. His clean and gentle face, his scholarly composure with every move, made him seem like a piece of jade that had been finely polished over ti, more elegant and charming than ever.
Waves of girlish infatuation sounded from below.
Soone boldly asked, "Professor Ning, do you have a girlfriend?"
At that mont, her heart leaped.
The man stood at the center of the stage, his gaze gently falling on the female student who had spoken, "No."
The girls’ infatuated voices grew louder.
Oh my God, Professor Ning is simply the ideal perfect man.
"Then does Professor Ning have soone he likes?"
The man smiled slightly, but for so reason, that smile seed sad.
"Yes, I’ve been waiting for her. It doesn’t matter if it’s ten years or twenty years, I can wait."
"Wow, I didn’t expect Professor Ning to be so devoted. I really want to know which blind woman doesn’t want such a great man as Professor Ning...."
"You don’t understand, a man like Professor Ning, in novels, he’s what you’d call ’the perpetual backup’. Nowadays, what’s popular are the overbearing CEOs...."
She listened to the whispers of several girls beside her, her heart ached, and she bowed her head to hide the turbulent tears.
The lecture began, and Ning Qinglin spoke eloquently, at tis witty and humorous, at tis serious and earnest, with an audience that listened intently.
