Chapter 5 - 005: Drinking Leads to Trouble
Ning Guiwan turned around and met Ning Honghua’s imposing gaze. She remained silent for a few seconds before a smile suddenly blossomed on her face. Her eyes held an unusual allure, her red lips and white teeth making her appear exceptionally enchanting as she said, "I understand, Dad. Don’t worry."
Turning back again, the smile on Ning Guiwan’s face instantly vanished.
Stirring up trouble?
Who exactly is stirring up trouble?
"Xiaowan? You’re here too." Ning Guiwan had just opened the door to see Ning Rongyue outside, hand raised as if to knock, a blue file folder in her arms.
After a moment of surprise, Ning Rongyue put on a friendly smile. "I have a report here that needs Dad’s signature, so I came over."
She seemed very afraid of upsetting Ning Guiwan and spoke cautiously, with a hint of ingratiation, "Are you leaving now?"
Ning Guiwan quietly looked at Ning Rongyue’s face. She was wearing makeup, but the burn scar on her left cheek wasn’t covered at all. In fact, it seemed even more prominent because the surrounding skin, whitened by makeup, contrasted sharply with it.
Perhaps sensing Ning Guiwan’s gaze, Ning Rongyue raised her hand to cover her left cheek, her eyes faintly revealing sadness.
"The doctor said I’m prone to scarring; otherwise, I wouldn’t have such an ugly scar. I can’t undergo those scar removal surgeries either. But don’t worry, Dad brought me some scar treatment medication from abroad, and it’s working quite well. Once this scar is healed, no one will say anything bad about you anymore."
