She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1681: Chapter 1758: Confronting Them at Their Door

”An’an... An’an...” Sheng Ning shouted loudly for a long time, but the car kept moving farther away without stopping. She stood there in frustration, thinking for a long time, feeling more uneasy the more she thought about it.

How could An’an have changed so much just after this year, after only a few days?

Suddenly her brow twitched sharply, and her heart became increasingly anxious. She thought of how Han Xiaoqiu had just died and the way he behaved in court just awhile ago. A troubling premonition grew stronger.

”Comrade Sheng Ning, it’s cold outside, why are you wearing so little?” The neighbor saw Sheng Ning wearing just a woolen sweater standing by the roadside and greeted her with concern.

”Quickly go back inside; if your uncle sees you dressed this lightly, he’d be worried.” Everyone in the compound knows how much Su Hai dotes on his niece, and occasionally someone would tease about it with a smile.

Sheng Ning shivered with cold and only then realized how chilly it was. She exchanged a few pleasantries with the neighbor and quickly ran home, reaching the door just as Su Huai’an came out to give her some clothes.

”What’s the matter?” Su Huai’an handed her the clothes, his brows slightly furrowed, already having heard from the housekeeper about An’an’s visit.

”Nothing,” Sheng Ning said, putting on the clothes, ”I’m going to Grandpa Hai’s place.”

”Alright!” Su Huai’an looked at her, hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

As soon as Sheng Ning arrived at Mr. Hai’s house, she ran into Hai Yunfeng dressed formally, ready to go out; they exchanged a brief glance at the door. For a moment, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

To be honest, Sheng Ning was not very familiar with Hai Yunfeng and due to her status, she couldn’t interact directly with such a high-ranking official. Moreover, when An’an had an issue, she sought Hai Yunfeng’s help and was refused.

Women tend to hold grudges, herself being no exception, so she has always been indifferent toward Hai Yunfeng.

”Happy New Year to Comrade Sheng Ning!” The confidential secretary, working on the first day of the new year, came to report and greeted Sheng Ning with a smile.

A gentle gesture is never reciprocated with hostility, Sheng Ning nodded and then looked towards Hai Yunfeng again.

”Ningning, it’s great you’re here; I was just about to find you.” Hai Yunfeng took a step back, ”Let’s talk in my study.” He said as he led the way forward, asking the confidential secretary to sit and wait for him.

In the study, Hai Yunfeng personally poured a cup of water for Sheng Ning, setting it in front of her, and without beating around the bush, he directly said, ”An’an just went to your place, didn’t he?”

”Yes!” Speaking of this, Sheng Ning’s gaze became sharp instantly, her hands naturally placed on her knees, signaling her readiness for negotiation or confrontation.

”Everything was fine when An’an left with you, why is he different now? I think I need an explanation from you, Minister Hai.” Even though his position vastly outweighs hers, she won’t back down a step for An’an.

The current situation with An’an is even more serious than she imagined. If it weren’t severe, An’an wouldn’t be afraid to see her.

He has always liked sticking to her, never avoiding her like today.

”I’m sorry!” Hai Yunfeng’s sincere apology caught Sheng Ning by surprise.

She still remembers how indifferent and cold Hai Yunfeng was when she asked him for help back then.

”Explain clearly!” Sheng Ning’s attitude softened a bit, seeing the Hai Family genuinely cared for An’an. Since their starting point is the same, she could choose to compromise and take a step back.

”Is it as I suspect?” Sheng Ning initially had no clue, but with An’an’s recent unusual behavior, coupled with previous incidents, she’s suddenly reminded of a term.

A psychological disorder heard frequently in her past.

”Dual personalities?”
