She Lives without Regret in This Life

”Not necessarily.”

Feng Zhenzhen’s response elicited a slight cold smile from Sheng Ning, ”You’re much more pleasing to the eye now than when we first met.”

Feng Zhenzhen was taken aback, her eyes shimmering with something.

For the first time, after the burn injury, someone said her current appearance was more pleasing than before. Hehehe... Should she cry or laugh?

”Do you know? Sometimes whether someone is appreciated by others doesn’t rely on beauty. It’s about inner character; having a tough mind is much better than looks. Besides, after disfigurement, you can have cosmetic surgery, but if the heart is useless, it’s useless for a lifetime.”

She herself was the most vivid example.

Appearance is truly not everything.

In the air, there was a moment of silence, even awkwardness.

Neither Gu Yunbo nor Chen Yingjie could quite understand what Sheng Ning was saying, but Feng Zhenzhen understood. She read the same thing from Sheng Ning’s eyes.

When others comfort her by saying they can understand her pain, she knows they’re lying to her. No one can truly understand the scorching pain that burns the heart. But she understood it from Sheng Ning’s eyes.

She understands.

She comprehends.

She truly feels it.

In an instant, tears moistened Feng Zhenzhen’s eyes.

Sheng Ning handed her a tissue, softly saying, ”Your face isn’t the problem. The medical cosmetic industry has now developed; it won’t take long for your face to not only recover but become even more beautiful.”

”That’s not important.” Feng Zhenzhen touched the twisted skin on her face, saying carelessly, ”Do you think I would still care about this face now?”

”No, I don’t.” Sheng Ning laughed freely and stood up, reaching out her hand to her.

Feng Zhenzhen also stood up, extending her hand wrapped in black cloth, her dry fingers displaying a morbid pallor with black spots.

”Pleasant cooperation.”

”I’ll make arrangements; Feng Xintong can’t wait too long, it’s a matter of days.” Sheng Ning was clear about this. In the coming days, she would familiarize herself with the Feng Family’s business alongside Housekeeper Xing, and simultaneously make a will certification with a lawyer.

Feng Xintong wants to kill her, so she would choose to do it before this.

Because once postponed, it won’t matter if she kills her; the Feng Family business would fall into her hands, and she would inevitably leave a new will.

”You want to kill?” Chen Yingjie said in shock.

He couldn’t believe his sister-in-law would want to kill someone; she had always been so gentle and kind, how could she desire to kill?

”Yes!” Sheng Ning instead laughed, ”Doesn’t your squad also want to kill her?”

”The squad can, but you can’t.” He instinctively thought like Xu Qigang, that dangerous and bloody things should be left to the men; how could he let his gentle and kind sister-in-law do it!

”Wrong, I can but your squad can’t.” How could she bear to let the Living Yama cross his rescue comrade’s line because of her!

She couldn’t bear it.

Actually, after the two met again, although he said nothing, Sheng Ning could feel his changes and his inner pain.

He still hadn’t come out of the inner guilt and suffering.

Because he didn’t protect her well.

Even though she never blamed him, Qigang still felt guilty. This was something she didn’t want to see. Rather than letting him feel guilty and suffer, she’d rather bear all the burdens herself.

Moreover, she and Feng Xintong truly had deep hatred. This hatred was deeper, much deeper than the one with Qin Cuifen.

If she didn’t kill Feng Xintong, Feng Xintong would come to kill her.

Gu Yunbo moved with the two children and Aunt Feng to live in the seaside villa, and Demira was temporarily given a holiday. The entire Victoria Theater was emptied.

Preparations were proceeding methodically.

Feng Zhenzhen, like a bat hidden in the darkness, rarely appeared, and if she did appear, it was at night.

And Sheng Ning was even busier.

She had too many things to do, while also keeping an eye on matters in the Gambling City.
