She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 383: Chapter 393: Tender and Affectionate

“Dabao, what are you saying?” Mr. Su’s voice was nearly unmelodic, like something sharp scraping against glass.

It made the listener’s heart tremble.

“A bracelet!” Lu Dabao, whose nerves were quite rough, didn’t notice anything amiss. He pointed at the bracelet on the woman’s wrist in the oil painting, “This bracelet is exactly like Sheng Ning’s, it’s still the one I got with Chen Huaying from…”

He couldn’t finish his sentence as Chen Huaying quickly covered his mouth.

After the assistant had brought Chen Huaying and Lu Dabao inside, Sheng Ning stood alone in the cold wind. The winter in the north was just too harsh; she had only stood there for a moment and her whole body was shivering from the cold.

She wanted to move around, but her heart wasn’t in it.

Oh! If only Living Yama were here, she wouldn’t feel so panicked.

“Eh? Why is she here?” A familiar voice came from behind; Sheng Ning turned around just in time to see Hai Lan and Meng Ping getting out of the car side by side.

“Sheng Ning?” Meng Ping originally looked listless, but his eyes suddenly lit up with surprise when he heard Hai Lan.

“Why do I run into you everywhere? Didn’t you say you didn’t like Meng Ping? Why are you following him to his grandfather’s house?” Hai Lan approached Sheng Ning, her sharp eyes filled with thick hostility and disdain.

“Hai Lan, shut your mouth!” Meng Ping glared fiercely at Hai Lan, frightening her into taking a step back, her face showing a hurt expression.

“Meng Ping, you’re being so harsh to me for this worthless country bumpkin?”

“Keep your mouth shut!” Meng Ping said irritably. He had no energy to coddle Hai Lan. Heaven knows how busy he had been recently. The once carefree playboy was now trying to start a business from scratch, and he barely had time to sleep.

Today, if his dad hadn’t told him that his grandpa was unwell and ordered him to go see him, he definitely wouldn’t have come to visit; coincidentally, he ran into Hai Lan slipping out of the General Union and they came together.

He just never expected to encounter Sheng Ning at the entrance to his grandfather’s house.

“What are you doing here? Is something the matter? Tell me, I can definitely solve it for you.” Meng Ping stood in front of Sheng Ning, slightly bowing his head, his handsome face looking somewhat tender and affectionate.

Sheng Ning smiled, a smile void of any warmth. She would never again be as foolish and naive as she had been in her past life, deceived by his appearance.

“It’s nothing!” she said coldly, then stepped aside to let them pass.

“Meng Ping, why bother with her? Let’s go in. We’ll have the assistant kick out the irrelevant people. Does she really think anyone can walk into the General Union Courtyard?” Seeing her beloved Meng Ping treating Sheng Ning so kindly, Hai Lan lost her rationality out of anger.

Sheng Ning coldly chuckled, “I’m here on a mission to deliver warmth. I’ll leave immediately after it’s done.” She hadn’t even entered the Su family’s door! The ordeals of her past life were already beginning to surface. Who knew what would happen if she actually went inside?

It was said that the Su family and the Hai family got along well, the old gentlemen having been good friends since their youth. Being Elder Hai’s favorite granddaughter, Hai Lan had considerable sway in the Su family.

“What? A mission to deliver warmth?” Hai Lan shrieked, “Why? What right do you have to be assigned to deliver warmth to the General Union Courtyard?”
