Chapter 700: Chapter 700: No Woman Can Stand It
She was from a reputable military family, well-educated, and her background was certainly top-notch.
Compared to Jiang Jinchen, she wasn’t lacking in the least.
Indeed, they were a perfect match in terms of social standing.
Through this political and military alliance in marriage, both parties would surely rise even higher in power. No one in Fico City would be able to rival them.
“Xuan, I’ve always known the vast gap that lies between us from the very beginning. My mother is just a destroyer of other families, a home wrecker. No matter how long I leave that house, it won’t change the fact that I’m an illegitimate child that not even her own father dares to acknowledge.”
Ning Yanan leans against the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.
What she heard most growing up were the insults and mockery of others.
They would mock her mother as a shameless mistress and deride her, insisting that she would turn out no better…
Her mother only had eyes for the wealthy man who brought her riches and never cared about what she wanted.
“Given what the Jiang family is like, even if Jiang Jinchen does not intend to go into politics, the Jiang family would never allow him to take a woman who bears such a public stain, let alone…”
Ning Yanan narrowed her eyes, the gleam in them growing dimmer, “The problems between us aren’t just about our family backgrounds.”
“A relationship between two people shouldn’t involve so many external factors. Even though they may seem mismatched, there’s always a chance if you’re willing to make an effort. Yaya, I don’t believe you can’t see that this engagement photo is obviously photoshopped. From start to finish, Jiang Jinchen has never shown up. This is obviously a marriage arranged by the Jiang family.”
Qin Youxuan put the newspaper on the table, taking Ning Yanan’s hand.
“Yaya, look at me. I too am an illegitimate child. At least you know who your biological father is. I don’t even know my own origins… But so what? The errors of our parents’ generation shouldn’t be an obstacle to our pursuit of happiness!”
“We’re not the same.” Ning Yanan averted her gaze and replied indifferently.
“I know that the engagement news was released by the Jiang family. I also know… he’s been put under house arrest by the Jiang family…”
Ning Yanan choked up slightly, her eyes welling with tears, “Xuan, do you know? I never imagined myself having anything to do with him in the first place…
It was Jiang Jinchen’s persistent pursuit that left her helpless.
He never bothered to ask the opinions of others, only doing what he wants.
Showing up at the newspaper office, loitering outside her apartment every day…
No matter where she was, even if she were to hide in a hole, Jiang Jinchen always found a way to find her.
His affection for someone was so deep, it reached into the marrow of his bones.
No woman could withstand such relentless gestures.
Ning Yanan always thought she was rational, but she didn’t even realize when she had fallen into his trap.
After Jiang Jinchen recklessly took a bullet for her, the boundaries she had intentionally established crumbled.
It was Jiang Jinchen who made her realize, no matter how many shortcomings you have, there is always someone willing to protect you with their life….
From that moment on, she knew, she had completely lost.
Lost to the madman, Jiang Jinchen.
Qin Youxuan held Ning Yanan as tears streamed down her face, her heart ached bitterly.
She knew of Ning Yanan’s inferiority complex but had no idea about the burden of troubles she kept to herself.
“Yaya, if he truly loves you, he won’t care about these things. You should just be you, the one and only Ning Yanan. You should give each other a chance.”
“No need.” Ning Yanan stubbornly shook her head, stood up from the sofa, sniffled, “The problem isn’t with him at all.”
