Chapter 246: Chapter 251: Worlds Apart Chapter 246: Chapter 251: Worlds Apart âAsshole, let go of me right now, or Iâll beat you to death,â Chen Yingjie fumed, his eyes reddening as he waved his fists menacingly.
This was audacious, daring to flirt with the Captainâs wife right in front of him.
They were taking the War Wolf Rescue Team too lightly.
âSu Huaiâan, are you openly declaring war against the entire War Wolf Rescue Team?â Chen Yingjie ground his teeth as he spoke.
Sheng Ning suddenly woke up, followed by a tidal wave of anger. Like a startled rabbit, she quickly escaped from Su Huaiâan and hid behind Liu Yilan, scared out of her wits.
She was genuinely afraid, trembling all over.
In her past life, she had suffered too much, endlessly ridiculed and shamed for her behavior. After her rebirth, she was careful and cautious, wanting nothing more than to live a quiet, honest life.
In this life, she wanted to avoid trouble at all costs. The Su Family was a force she could not afford to offend; although she had no contact with Su Huaiâan in her previous life, his reputation was well-known to her, and all of the Su family members were enemies she was eager to avoid.
Had she known such an event would occur today, she would never have come to the General Union Courtyard.
Liu Yilan sensed Sheng Ningâs fear, puzzled but instinctively shielding her with his own body.
âCough, coughâŠâ Mr. Su soon became alert, swiftly nodding his head after reflecting. Watching his grandson acting foolish, he coughed loudly, âYou damned boy, wonât you apologize? Youâve scared the poor girl!â
âIâm sorry, I didnât mean anything by it,â Su Huaiâan blushed, quickly apologizing. The more he explained, the more suspicious it became. After he spoke, he pursed his lips and silently cursed himself for being stupid.
Eventually, he bowed his head and sincerely apologized, âI hope you wonât mind.â
Others also looked at Sheng Ning, her earlier behavior quite odd! Indeed, everyone noticed that Su Huaiâan meant no harm.
He merely tried to intervene when he saw Chen Huaying hitting her.
Why she reacted this way was a mystery? Seeking attention? No, after spending time with her, everyone had come to understand Sheng Ningâs character.
She wasnât one to seek fame by stirring controversy, and moreover, she was exceptionally talented and diligent. Someone like her didnât have to worry about being overshadowed or facing failure in the future.
Seeking controversy was just a foolish act of the mindless.
âAre you alright?â Liu Yilan believed there must be something others didnât know about Sheng Ning.
Sheng Ning shook her head, looking at the stern Mr. Su and her face paled slightly.
âIâm fine!â She forced a smile at Su Huaiâan and awkwardly tried to brighten her expression. âThanks just now!â
She remembered Mr. Su from her past life, after Qin Cuifen was recognized and taken back. Mr. Su threw a grand eighteenth birthday party for Qin Cuifen.
All the leading district authorities were present, and the room was filled with influential figures. Qin Cuifen, a country girl, was elevated to a princess by the Su Family, making a high-profile entrance arm in arm with Mr. Su amid the gaze of countless onlookers.
Favor and adoration converged in one life, catapulting her to the ranks of the most powerful and prestigious heiresses. Even Chen Huaying, Liu Yilan, and Hai Lan had to keep their distance.
Back then, as Qin Cuifenâs fellow villager and âbest friend,â she too had been invited to attend her birthday party.
Both the same age, she was only half a year older than Qin Cuifen, yet their fates were worlds apart.
Standing alone in the corner, wearing washed-out white clothes and rustic farmerâs cloth shoes, she appeared as pitiful as a little beggar.
