Chapter 21 - 021: The Same Culprit
The night wind was intoxicating. Ning Guiwan lowered her head to look at the necklace in her palm, suddenly remembering the warm scene when her father had presented this necklace to her mother and personally helped her put it on.
She even remembered the way her father looked at her mother: tender and affectionate.
Suddenly, a white light flashed in the distance. Ning Guiwan’s vision blurred for a moment. She closed her eyes to recover, and when she reopened them, she faintly saw the Ning Family’s car slowly approaching.
Ning Honghua and Ning Rongyue were sitting in the car.
Seeing these two, Ning Guiwan’s gaze grew colder.
Ning Honghua went out for social engagements and always took Ning Rongyue with him, clearly grooming her as the heir.
"Xiaowan, why are you standing here?" Ning Rongyue got out of the car directly. She was dressed formally and with more meticulously applied makeup than usual. Her left cheek’s scar was mostly concealed, giving her a semblance of dignified beauty.
Seeing Ning Guiwan looking at her face, Ning Rongyue seemed a bit embarrassed, raising her hand to cover her left cheek. "I just attended a banquet. It was grandly organized, and the attendees were all important figures, so I couldn’t be too casual."
As she spoke, her eyes gradually dimmed. She lowered her hand, saying with self-mockery, "Actually, with this face, no matter how much I dress up, it’s all in vain..."
Ning Guiwan glanced inside the car. Ning Honghua was hidden in the shadows, and she couldn’t make out his expression, but she knew he must be displeased at that moment.
